The course work is extremely easy if you've used computers before, he definitely knows everything about the subject matter, just remember to do the homework (there's a LOT of assignments, but all are easy) We did get assigned a group project for power point, which is pretty sucky. But all around I'd recommend this professor.

I took him for VB. He assigns a lot of work for THIS class and the requirements he wants for his programs are a lot of work. I often spent about 3-8 hours a week just on homework, and the class is only two days a week. Often felt overwhelmed with all the assignments at once. Oh and btw he tells a lot of corny jokes, so just laugh and move on.

I just got out of this class it was nothing like I expected it to be. The workload was heavy so it is easy to get behind. Mr.Stewart is very nice but don't mistake that for being a pushover. He will smile and laugh with you then flunk you if you don't do what is expected of you. Overall the lab assignments is where you do more hands on work.
