Dr Steinberg is clearly very passionate about the material and is very thorough, his assignments are also very detailed in the instructions which is nice. The only two things that I feel he could improve on are grading times, they are very long; and being more comfortable controlling the room. Since its an intro course there are some loud students.

Lectures are very important. he is very thorough in his examples and gives feedback. There is usually 1 assignment per week or 2 depending on the size of the program. No reason to not take this class unless you like missing class. Missing class will almost guarantee you trouble on the next program.

Very thorough with examples during lectures, which will help you with most of your assignments. If you're coming in with programming knowledge, it will greatly help. The exams can be rough for those who do not study and will require ample practice.

Dr. Steinberg is amazing! I took him for CS2 and I finally am coming out of my imposter syndrome. He cares about what he's teaching, and while he's not as "coding" heavy as other CS profs - he prepares you for your tech interviews with in depth algorithms! Exams are hard, but not really if you go over all his notes. Programs are easy too.

Took him for Intro to C, Great teaching style, loved his lectures extremely informative and easy to follow along. If you do the assignments early and work hard to learn C then it should be an easy class to follow and get an A in. Only complaint is the exams were to packed and to little time to complete the questions. Overall Dr. Steinberg is great.

Professor Steinberg really cares about his students. He does an amazing job of teaching the material and is always willing to explain more if you don't understand. He gives one assignment a week and they never feel like you're making big jumps in what you're doing. Late work isn't accepted without a valid reason but you have PLENTY of time.

CS2 is very rigorous, but Dr. Steinberg makes it less painful. He explains the material really well, provides many examples in lectures, and is even willing to meet with students outside of usual office hours. He cares deeply about his students and wants them to pass, but they have to want it. He likes seeing effort and gives lots of partial credit

Professor Steinberg is so intelligent and smart, that not only should he stay as a professor, but he should have his own computer programming company in the future. As I continue my college life, I want for him keep inspiring the future students. All students should sign up, so they can learn. Steinberg will not steer anyone wrong!

Best professor that I've ever had! Learned more in his class than I did in any others and prepared me for follow-up courses. He goes lengths to make certain everyone understands the material and he is expert at simplifying things to a level that everyone can get! Extremely organized and clear with his expectations! Master instructor with heart!

Steinberg is everything you could want in a professor and more. He is patient with the content and while pacing can be slow for those already familiar with coding, he makes sure everyone thoroughly understands the content. Very approachable and kind, just make sure you do the few assignments, which don't even take too long. Absolutely wonderful.

Dr. Steinberg is an excellent professor who is clearly passionate about computer science and can thoroughly convey ideas for a relatively difficult course. His tests are the among the most fair I've taken at UCF. His assignments assume strong Java skills although grading criteria is still very clear. Study his lecture notes and you'll be golden.

Steinberg really cares about his students in making sure that they understand the material. He catered our intro to c course toward those who were beginners to coding, and made complex topics easy to understand. As long as you come to lectures and complete the program assignments, you should have no problem in his class.

Really good professor and cares about you succeeding. However, while showing examples during lecture he sometimes makes mistakes that contradict what is on the book. The assignments are quite simple, and the exams (except the final) could have less time-consuming questions. Other than that, he is a fantastic addition to the UCF CS department

Dr. Steinberg is a tough professor, not because he is a bad professor, but he really wants the student to learn and the course is hard by itself. That being said, by the end of October, had a F in the class, I though about dropping out but talk to him, he encouraged me not to quit and that I could do it, worked hard and got a C 52/58 on the final!

This class could be easy as long as you study. A few programs, not too long and can be done in a day or two if you understand the coding concepts. Great professor with a good personality. can tell he likes the content and really wants his students to succeed. Seems to be lenient with partial cred on exams. def could've gotten an A if i studied more

First time teaching CS2, I think he did great. His tests are almost exactly modeled after his notes. I think he definitely went a lot slower than other professors but he really made sure we grasped the concept before moving on. He definitely made some mistakes while lecturing but he was open to being corrected and acknowledged it. Very nice person.

Excellent professor. Posts lectures, powerpoint notes, and handwritten notes (with examples). Our workload was 4 projects and 3 exams. Gives plenty of heads-up for due dates and very reasonable due dates, as well as not overly complicated projects. Very easy to contact for help. Wish I had another class I could take with him. Easy A-B if you try.

Amazing professor. He takes a difficult class and makes it easy and enjoyable. UCF needs more professors like Dr. Steinberg. If you put in some effort in his class, you'll get an A easily. Also, to the person who said he takes forever to reply to emails, that's false; I've emailed him like 9 times & he always answers the same day or the day after

Dr. Steinberg is an excellent professor. He thoroughly explains topics and provides an incredible amount of resources to use (practice code, notes, diagrams, tas/las). His tests are hard but meant to prep those who will take the Foundations Exam. You have to put in the effort to pass his class. Also no cheating he catches cheaters.

I am taking CS1 and OOP with him. I also have taken him for COP 3223 and passed with a B+. This professor is absolutely amazing. He is my go to guy for any CS questions and he's comprehensive. If you will take this class, know that the lectures are NOT ENOUGH. You will have to put in time on your own to practice all class material to pass.

I don't know why some students exaggerate, but his teaching is phenomenal. I studied everyday, because of him and his teaching, and I passed with an A. Andrew, thank you for everything, and I hope to be your student again! Sending you blessings everyday, my beloved former professor!

Dr. Steinberg is great to take especially if you're looking to be proficient in C. The paper exams are definitely great practice and preparation for the foundation exam if you have to take that. Definitely the professor to choose as a CS major, if you don't have to be proficient in C or take the foundation exam, take an online class instead.

Dr. Steinberg is a very thoughtful and caring professor. His lectures were very informative and always filled with hilarious jokes to lighten the mood. Weekly programming assignments with detailed explanations. Course starts easy but gets very difficult so don't fall behind.

Professor Steinberg has enthusiasm in his teaching, his quizzes and exams are fair and simply requires the understanding and mastery of the subject. Just do the small and large programs, and the TAs/SARC are great help for the assignments. He answers to emails promptly and you can schedule office hours pretty easily. I recommend this professor!

An incredibly patient and kind professor, assignments are weekly coding assignments, both Small and Large Projects, but they're workable after you study mildly and rewatch recorded lectures, the TA's are spaced out across the week and are deeply involved in helping the Intro to C students.

Dr. Andrew Steinberg is an excellent professor. There's 5 assignments, 3 big ones and 2 small ones. His exams are difficult since you have to study the lectures, labs, and exam reviews to pass them. He is strict but cares deeply about his students and pushes them to succeed. Best CS1 professor, hands down. - "I will not fail you!"

Dr. Steinberg's class isn't easy but it is manageable. You have small and large programming assignments that are a little challenging, but the TA's and the professor himself are accessible with help on these. His exams are paper-pencil and you NEED to study. If you practice and go to his lectures you should be good.

One of the best professors UCF has in the Computer Science department. He makes sure no student is left behind. All he asks you to put in the effort and run the extra mile. Great assignments and exams.

One of the best professors I have taken the last several semesters. Extremely fair with assignments/grading, clearly knows the material, and cares for the students. Also very organized. Would recommend. Obviously computer science will be difficult no matter the professor, but Professor Steinberg does everything he can to help.

Dr. Steinberg is the best professor besides Szumlanski currently teaching CS1. Class is concept heavy, but If you pay attention and ask questions you will do just fine. Put in the work and you'll learn.

This class is inherently difficult, especially for IT majors who do not need to take the FE exam, but Mr. Steinberg clearly knows the material and cares about his students. The tests are worth a lot so if you take the time to study and practice the exam reviews you should pass even if you struggle with some of the programming assignments.

The most fair and accurate grading you will ever receive. Your grade truly reflects the amount of effort you put in, and he provides opportunities for extra credit. Lectures are recorded, slides/practice programs uploaded, and he's happy to answer any questions. Exams are in-person, STUDY. It was his first time teaching CS1 but it was near perfect.

IT majors, I strongly recommend him. Is he easy, no? But that's more due to the class requirements than him as a professor. He cares greatly about his students and makes difficult concepts very easy to understand and his homework assignments are much better than other CS1 professors. I am not a strong programmer and would highly recommend.

Does an excellent job of giving examples of what could be hard to understand material. For the most part tests are easy if you study. Not sure why the negative reviews for this course, I didn't have any Java background at all and found the course easy.

Professor Steinberg is the best CS1 professor I had at UCF, the class is not easy, but it shouldn't be. CS1 is a very important and relevant class and Steinberg does his best to properly teach it in the time allocated.

I had the same experience as the other reviews for CS1. Starting earlier on the programming assignments really helped me, and dedicating at least a few days before each exam to review the content was just enough to pass. He lets you see your exam after the grades are out if you schedule a meeting which is great. Will take again!

Steinburg's class was the perfect balance of challenging yet achievable. His grading was generous but fair. This class had lots of difficult material, especially for non-CS majors, but Steinburg got through all the content in a way that prepared CS majors for the FE without making other majors suffer. He goes above and beyond to help you succeed.

Professor Steinberg is a really kind and caring professor. The course material covered is inherently difficult but he explains it in a simple and concise way that's easy to understand. You would be able to do fine on the exams and homework if given some effort. Overall I would greatly recommend him for this course if you decide to take it.

Steinberg is one of the best professors you'll ever have. He makes something as complicated as CS1 look really easy if you pay attention to class and do your own practicing. He is funny, charismatic, and makes classes fun. Not only that, but his assignments are really fun to do, most involve some sort of game or puzzle you have to solve. Amazing!

Dr. Steinberg is an excellent professor--he teaches well, and the assignments are clearly graded. His tests are pretty tricky though--he'll have little quirks and then grade them pretty harshly. All in all, I really enjoyed his class, and I would certainly take Dr. Steinberg again!

Dr. Steinberg did a great job teaching CS1. His class was highly enjoyable, and he definitely did a great job of teaching. His tests were tricky but fair. Make sure that you study all of the edge cases before taking his tests.

A great professor that cares for his students. He will prepare you for the foundation exam. Exams are a large percentage of your grade, STUDY! His and the TAs office hours were always accessible and helpful. Steinberg jumps straight into the course without giving an overview of C. You will need to have a solid C foundation for programming HWs.

Dr. Steinberg made me enjoy writing code more than I had prior to taking CS1. It really helps that he is very passionate about computer science, and it shows in his lectures. Lectures are very engaging, and his assignments are well-structured. Just write code and study his material. He is going to become a highly sought after professor very soon!

This class was literally the only thing I liked about my major before I switched. The assignments can be a little hard and at times you'll have to teach yourself stuff from Stack Overflow to get an assignment done, but other than that it really wasn't bad and his lectures were entertaining.

One of the best CS professor. Super fun lectures. Makes hard topics easy to understand. Very passionate about what he does and cares a lot about his students. He even allows / recommends you to appeal your grade if you think you deserve a better grade and give him good reasons! So glad I took him, was worried about this subject!

Great professor! He really takes the time and makes sure everyone understands the material. It was his first time teaching discrete and I thought he did great overall. Provides so many examples in lecture and labs! As long as you practice the material you should be fine. He even sometimes adds humor in lecture to help with the material. Amazing!

This man is a ray of sunshine in the CECS department! It was his first time teaching discrete, but he did a great job. Three tests worthed 20% of your grade each, but they were easier than the homework (which was like 35%). He had a lot of TAs to help, so as long as you put in the work, you will be fine.

I've taken 3 classes with Steinberg, COP 3223 (C), COP 3330 (Java), and COP3502C (CS1). I have to say, I could not have asked for a better professor! The exams for CS1 are pretty tough so make sure to study. I have come out of Steinberg's classes with a uniquely verbose understanding of compsci. If you care about the class he will care about you!

Dr. Steinberg makes sure his students get challenged, but if you put in the effort you can easily get a good grade. If you pass, you'll know you learned and understood the concepts well. Great professor, and I'm excited to continue working with him as a UTA!

This professor is someone who will help you on your journey. You will be guided with info, so you can learn the material that easily, even if it's challenging. You will like him. Thank you, professor, I wish you success!

Absolutely recommend! CS is not my major but Dr. Steinberg almost made me want to change it. Lectures are optional but do attend them in person so you can have all your questions answered, the programming assignments might make you to go to office hours but they're super helpful. Listen and take notes in class it might be on the test!

3223C is for people who have not coded before (explanations are thorough and depictive) Do not take if you have experience coding Says basically every 5 seconds Makes corny jokes Very strict proctoring during exams (just don't cheat lol) Points off if output doesn't match his character by character (annoying & tedious) Take him if you're new to CS

Steinberg has great lectures and helpful sample code after lectures to look over and study after class. However, his grading policy is tough and his exams are also ridiculously difficult on purpose -- he one time exclaimed that his test was "too easy" when a few people left early. It feels like he treats the class like an early weed-out class.

Very nice gu and does pretty good lectures. The only homework is 8 small programs and 4 large ones with 4 quizzes.

First off, GO TO THE LECTURES, he records the lectures, I remember a specific time he said a test question in the lecture, code early, it is impossible to get a session with a TA of any kind within a week of a deadline. You are graded on 3 Exams, 4 Large Programming Assignments and 8 Small. Also Strict on cheating, as well as pen and paper tests.

Sure it will not be a piece of cake, but he will guide you if you are willing to work for knowledge and for a passing grade. If you want further tutoring at college or elsewhere (Like Chegg), then fine, but he will find out if you're using Chegg or anything to purposely cheat because he expects you to be a serious adult in this world.

Steinberg has really great lectures overall. The content can be somewhat difficult, but if you are coming to class and willing to practice outside (from his live code and sample code), then you should have no problem in his class. Also make sure to not procrastinate on his assignments because getting TA help last minute can be tough. Be proactive.

Dr. Steinberg really cares about his students and he wants you to do well, but he is not an easy professor and you'll have to work hard outside of his assignments to get a good grade in this class. 8 small programing and 4 large and a couple quizzes.

This guy is a great professor who teaches the material pretty well. His assignments are not overly complicated but may take a bit of time to complete. His tests are designed to throw you off a bit but it honestly isn't that bad if you just study outside of his lectures. Overall, I would recommend this professor especially if you are a CS major.

Steinberg is a golden professor. You won't regret taking him. His assignments are doable and his tests are reflective of the material taught in lecture and practiced in labs. 10/10 professor I and look forward to taking him again in the future if I have a chance.

Professor Steinberg is an amazing professor who constantly interacts and keeps you engaged throughout the lecture and semester. He cares about his students understanding not only the basics but the logic behind the basics. Provides a lot of support and opportunities to improve your grade.

While I didn't get the best grade in this class, Steinberg is a great lecturer and gives thoughtful feedback if you go to his office hours. His homework and tests are pretty fair yet challenging. My biggest issue was the final as it focused on less important topics in the class that he barely went over.

He is very good at his lectures. He makes all these drawings about RAM memory and how it relates to what you're coding, and, for someone who had never taken a programming class before, I got an A and got a solid understanding of everything that was explained in class. Start the assignments right after they're published, especially when doing DMA.

Make sure to attend every lecture, the class moves quickly but the assignments are fair and usually only take about 4 hours each. Tests are graded harshly, so make sure you master the material.

the perfect medium between easy A and a difficult class. His work is not bad and he is great at explaining and answering ?'s. Very caring teacher, he takes the time to help and talk with you at office hours. Test are little harder than coding assignments but not impossible. Great professor you will definitely be prepared for future courses with him

Steinberg is literally an amazing professor! His lectures are clear and sometimes borderline fun! He has so much energy in the classroom. Very clear with expectations. Make sure to start his assignments early to seek help properly. His exams require practice so make sure to study his code and lecture notes he does in class.

Steinberg's nice & he makes sure his assignments & tests are fair. If you completely rely on Chegg to get through his assignments (lol), you might have a hard time since he mostly makes unique assignments for each semester. His lectures are p good - also ask questions if you need to, they help everyone!

Steinberg is a great professor! Make sure you attend his lectures. He has very detailed notes about C. There are assignments every week so make sure you stay on top of his assignments! Exams can be tough, but not really if you practice outside lecture. Pay attention to everything he does in class. He knows his stuff well.

Dr. Steinberg is great! I wasn't confident in my programming skills coming into this course, but he helped me learn so much and really encouraged a passion for CS. Assignments can be challenging but prof is very accessible for office hours. Tests are very fair. He truly cares so much about student success and prepares you well for future classes.

Have had him for 3 classes and still my 2nd favorite college professor so far (After 2nd Spring). Lecture's are very enjoyable as Steinberg is clearly interested in the content. Very approachable too if he's needed outside of class. All the assignments and exams didn't feel unfair while still being challenging. All grades received also made sense.

Class is brutal and hard. It was my first introduction to CS and although I didn't like Steinberg at first after leaving the class I realized he is amazing. His teaching of C programming is incredible, and uses visuals to aid his teaching. Exams are tough but fair. Lot of HWs and Projects but the instructions are very clean and defined.

such a kind and caring man :) definitely go to lectures and labs, that's where he gets some of his exam's questions from. programming assignments are not that hard, you just gotta think (pseudo code helps a lot!). I have exam anxiety so even though I didn't perform my best on the exams I was able to get an A because the grading weights are fair!

Steinberg is really great at explaining the material. If you have questions, he will answer them in class. Just make sure you plan out his workload (it is a lot). He does provide a tentative weekly schedule of when assignments are going to come out and he was pretty good with sticking to the schedule. Not an easy A, but you do learn a lot from him.

I found Steinberg to be great at explaining different coding concepts in class through both live coding and drawn visuals. Lectures help immensely, and will explain questions that will be on his exams. Unlike some reviewers I didn't have much trouble with the exams, they were very fair imo. Assignments were good difficulty with clear instructions.

Very simple class in my opinion. Lectures help so I would suggest going but are not necessary. Assignments were fair as it strictly pertains to stuff you should learn in class.

Steinberg is absolutely amazing for intro to c!! He has clear lectures through drawn visuals and live coding and even provides detail PowerPoint notes on the side. Tests can be hard, but if you pay attention to lectures and study then you should be ok. Definitely recommend if you want to learn the C language.

Good lectures, clear grading criteria, clear expectations. Tests can be challenging but he prepares you well for them. Easy to get help during his office hours, he's generally just a nice guy, knowledgeable, and you can tell he cares about the success of his students

He is the best professor to take to help you ace Intro to C easily. His lectures are all very well done and he reviews for exams efficiently in class the day before. Definitely take him, you won't regret it!

Steinberg was a great professor. They really know their stuff, and it is very easy to follow along. Steinberg is clearly very passionate about the material, and they are able to convey that to their students. Steinberg is also a very entertaining lecturer. They are very clear about their homework, and Steinberg also provides great feedback.

Really nice guy and you can tell he cares about what he's doing, great teacher very clear about the concepts he is teaching, some may find that he goes too slow but it's better than going too fast.

Amazing professor! You will learn a lot from Steinberg! He really cares that you understand what is happening and why. You can tell from lectures he enjoys teaching the C Language.

Such a passionate teacher, and he makes you a passionate student. I came in with a hate for the C language and left with a deep understanding and love for it. Lots of live coding in class. He illustrates complex topics in really digestible ways. Some decently long assignments, but they're nontrivial and not terribly difficult.

Go to class, start programming assignments early, you will pass easily. Don't do these and you will have a hard time. He records all his lectures so I prefer watching them in 2x speed. If you've watched the lecture you will pass quizzes and do well on exams. Programming assignments just require time and some effort. 5 quiz, 5 assign., 3 exams btw.

I know the reviews here are quite polarizing. Dr. Steinberg was good, he has a mainly project-based class with only 3 big exams and quizzes that practically don't weigh anything. The exams are hard, but not impossible with effective studying. His lectures do get a bit dragged on and I end up searching the topics when I get home.

COP3223C is a work heavy class regardless of who you take, but this professor was great. Attendance was not required and he gave lots of resources from recorded lectures, slides, hand written notes, live code, online coding wiki, and more. The weekly coding assignments do take ~6 hrs each and had 3 tests which was not too bad. Would take again.

Great professor. Lectures are recorded and uploaded on webcourses. Plenty of supplementary material to review / practice. Programming assignments were alright.

this class wasn't bad for a beginner class. he does however go overtime A LOT and goes fast with some of his lectures. the lectures are posted on webcourses however, so if you missed one you can watch online. the programs were annoying at some points cause you always had to test them and they would take points off for one tiny word overcount

Steinberg brings good energy to classroom through his detailed lectures. However this class requires a lot of work and if you are willing to put in the effort along with actually wanting to learn, this class will be enjoyable. Assignments had some difficulties. Tests seemed fair as it was stuff he mentioned in lecture. Go to class!

Dr. Steinburg is the ideal professor for anyone getting into Computer Science at UCF. He is moderately difficult as a professor but attend or watch the lectures and you will be fine. The assignments are clear on how they are graded and the concepts that you learn are essential for higher level of class. The grading is iffy but rubric is clear

I highly recommend Dr. Steinberg. In lecture, he makes everything easy to understand by drawing everything out. To be successful and ensure you're ready for exams, I highly recommend coding out the concepts that were taught in lecture on your own. Also, read the code style guide for your assignments! I'd definitely take him again for another class.

His lectures were easy to follow and he made sure everyone understood the topic. The HWs were somewhat challenging but were pretty fun to do. If you have questions about the coding assignments, there were TAs who were very willing to help. Tests are on paper but are relatively easy if you understand the topics.

I entered the class with some experience, and if you do the same, it will make the class very easy. If not, I think Dr. Steinberg teaches the concepts from the ground up pretty well and makes sure everything is clear. I see people complaining about Eustis. Imo, Eustis was easy to learn. There are 5-ish commands to know and you're golden.

Definitely the professor you want if you actually care about learning. Steinberg has one of the best lectures that really helps you understand the concepts in the long run. Assignments can be tough but he has a great support group of TAs. Tests are challenging but fair. Also, he has detailed typed up notes of the content taught which is a plus.

One of the best professors I've ever had at UCF! The material for CS2 is tough, but Steinberg knows how to explain it well. Lectures are crystal clear and somewhat borderline fun. Assignments were good and exams were very fair. He is very clear with his expectations.

Good lectures and good programming assignments. You are going to learn a lot if you have no background in programming, but will be ready for CS1. Steinberg is very caring and wants you to understand the material. At first the workload seems heavy, but once you get the rhythm of the class it isn't so bad. Great professor that is knowledgeable.

Overall a good professor. He goes into depth on all the topics, so you will have to keep up with them; otherwise, you might be left behind. However, the material isn't too difficult, and they are recorded. His programming assignments were all very useful and fun to create, and they scaled appropriately.

This is perhaps the HARDEST class I have taken as grad student ever, but Dr. Steinberg is AMAZING!! This was his first time teaching the class and he was very caring in ensuring we all understood the subject. He would take his time in lectures to really make sure understand the theory of computation.

Always very enthusiastic about subject. You can tell from lectures he enjoys the material. Mainly handwrites notes in class along with some live coding. Also provides slides of notes that are typed up and will reference them. Assignments, tests, and quizzes were fair.

You can tell Dr. Steinberg really cares that his students learn. I personally could have done more with going to TA review sessions or asking for clarifications when need be, but the system works well and if you care you will do good.

Professor was great. Material in CS2 varies in difficulty (mix of easy, medium, and hard). Assignments were always related to material covered in class. Exams had everything he covered in lecture. Lectures are recorded which is good, but definitely recommend going to class, especially if you want to ask questions.

Amazing professor! He really knows how to explain the subject. He could go a bit faster I feel, but I think he wants to make sure we are comfortable with the material which isn't bad. Assignments were very mixed in difficulty (some felt harder than others), but were relatable to what was taught. He also provides supplemental problems to practice.

Good lecturer and the coding assignments are fair (not too hard not too easy). Could organize the course a little better I think we spent too much time on the east material for the first test which squeezed time for the hard material on the last. I respect that you can check your test at any point during the semester to see what you did wrong.

Dr. Steinberg is one of my favorite professors in the cs department. He doesn't make exams with questions that try to "trick" you, everything is fair. He records all his lectures and generally takes feedback from students on what they want practice on. While the material for this class can be daunting, I always came out of the exams confident.

Steinberg is honestly a really good lecturer and I understand why he is so highly rated, however he was just too paranoid and strict for me to enjoy the course as he didn't seem so forgiving if you are not as detail-oriented as him. Quizzes were online with 3 tries each, making them worth practicing instead of trying to just get the good grade.

Great at explaining the material but the pacing was not very good. Took the same amount of time to go over the easier material and the harder material which rushed us to wrap up the content at the end of the semester. Grading was inconsistent if you don't like your test grade the TAs graded wrong so go check it.

Mr. Steinberg had a great lecture structure: you follow along with the code building logic, he uses digital images to illustrate concepts, and he included funny little references to franchises in coding assignments. I utilized the outside hours a lot; he helps guide you in the right direction without direct answers. Head to office hours early!

Steinberg is a great professor. He explains things in a way that makes it easy to understand for almost everyone (new programmer friendly) and will go over things as many times as you need. You can test your assignments using his test cases before submitting to make sure you got a 100. He's also super friendly and fun. Bonus questions on tests.

Dr. Steinberg did a phenomenal job teaching Discrete Structures II for the first time over the summer. We had to use a the "Introduction to the theory of computation" by Micheal Sipster, which I advise anyone taking the course to pickup, its great. Homeworks arent too difficult but take a decent chunk of time. Tests were moderately hard. I had fun!

I'll choose for you: Take him. He is an amazing professor. He teaches by example and rarely by slides. He's thorough, and seems to prepare you well (I have CS1 next semester, so we'll see). Quite a bit of projects and exams are fair. He wants you to succeed, both in his class and beyond it. So again, take him. You will not regret it.

Dr. Steinberg stands out as one of the better CS professors at UCF. Clear visual explanations, great accessibility outside of class, and assignments that are clearly inspired by a desire for the students to really learn the relevant material.

Loved his class! He saves all class recordings so you don't even need to go. Three closed-book tests, if you study you will do fine. He sends weekly/bi-weekly assignments so be ready to do homework. Quizzes are easy. He clearly tells you how he likes things, if you dont comply then you lose points. The TA's were super helpful too.

Dr. Steinberg is one of the very few professors I've taken who had a clear course structure and grading criteria, which he stuck to throughout the whole semester. His lectures are in-depth but easy to understand, and they are all posted online.

Dr. Steinberg took over for our course after Dr. Meade left in the middle of the semester. Although Dr. Steinberg was still required to adhere to Dr. Meade's wacky syllabus, his lectures were far better in comparison to Dr. Meade's. He does a fantastic job of explaining conceptual ideas, and he works out problems in real-time.

Rarely will you have a professor whose class is easy but where you will learn a lot. Steinberg has found the perfect balance of programming assignments, quizzes, and tests that will give you breathing room for all your other classes and activities while making sure you aren't forgetting everything. Lectures are some of the best I've had at UCF.

I had an absolutely incredible experience with Steinberg. His lectures were very informative and he helped break complex information into something that is easy to understand for everyone. He also challenges you a bit and ensures you learn everything you need to excel at any future CS courses and the foundation exam. Highly recommend!

Professor Steinberg is one of the best professors I've had at UCF. His teaching style makes learning fun and easy. You need to put in the work to do well in this class- if you're a procrastinator, you will fall behind quickly- but he makes it hard to fail. Homeworks were fun and the exams are based on what was taught in class. Would take again.

Dr. Steinberg was an amazing professor. He took over my course after my original professor abruptly left, and he did so seamlessly. His lectures were much more understandable than the original professor's, and he seemed to care about students wellbeing much more as well. Overall, if you pay attention in class and study, you will be fine.

Great professor, lectures are recorded which is super helpful. Exams are on paper and grading can be picky but they aren't extremely difficult. He's good at explaining topics and the assignments are similar to the lab questions so just make sure you do those.

Dr. Steinberg is a great professor. He is very good at explaining C. If you go to class you will learn a lot. Lectures are recorded. Tests can be difficult but they are manageable. He curves all three tests. Some of the programming assignments might take a while. He is passionate about what he does. Overall great professor and learned a lot.

Go to TA/Office hours, they are very helpful. Lectures are optional and recorded online. 1 proj every week, but don't procrastinate. Tests are not horrible and he will review them with you (but still study!) Only annoying thing was the Eustis system required for each assignment. One of the best professors in his department.

Had Dr. Steinberg for Intro to C in Fall 2023 and took him again for Computer Science 2 last fall. His lectures were much more engaging than your typical CS professor, and his code examples and slides are super duper helpful for studying. Make sure you know everything you could be tested on before exams. I'd definitely take Steinberg again!

Good professor. Lectures are recorded and there were only 5 programming assignments (#3 took a while to complete). There are weekly online quizzes. As long as you review his slides/lectures, getting a good grade in this class will not be difficult. Do make sure you follow code-style guidelines for his assignments or you could lose up to 25% on one.

Wonderful professor and amazing lectures. First CS class at UCF where I've been able to understand everything with no problems. Explains things thoroughly and never rushed. Tests are 60% of your grade (20% each exam) so be prepared to study. Programming assignments have clear grading criteria and can be tackled in a few days.

He gives very good lectures, which are recorded. The assignments were fairly simple, besides one which didn't have a solution, and he fixed. His tests were fair, and not hard to pass if you paid attention to the lectures.

Decent lectures (recorded). Fair programming assignments and non-cumulative tests. A very solid CS2 professor.

Overall, all the assignments were pretty fair and made up a good chunk of the course grade. The final was heavily criticized because it leaned heavy on the later lectures and some niche problems, but he added a nice curve. I think it could've been way worse (iykyk)

A very fair CS2 Professor. Lectures are recorded and he posts his notes and even extra practice problems. Tests were also fair.

Due to previous coding experience, this class was great since I could easily understand Professor Steinberg and his lectures were so engaging/helpful. If I didn't have past experience, I still would take him because he helps you learn a lot about the C Programming Language, but only take if you're a CS Major and you want to learn, not just pass.

One of my favorite professors I've had this semester. Some of the topics he goes a bit slow, but it definitely isn't bad if you have no experience in the C language. Every week there was always an assignment to complete. Would take again!

Professor Andrew Steinberg, thank you for teaching the right information and for helping me understand the material. I wish you the best in life.

Fantastic teacher. Clear grading, plenty of time to get projects done if you don't procrastinate, extremely generous late policy (saved my grade), fun lectures. He also records his lectures so you can watch them later, even if you miss the class. Overall very pleasant class experience, highest recommendations.
