He is a great teacher. He has a lot of knowledge in his head so be sure to ask him questions. He also teacher CS 1023 which is a very interesting class in itself.
Easy A's
I think it was cs1023 its the easiest class you will ever take. First thing you will notice is that this man doesnt give test just four simple one page essays on topics which you can talk about forever. This is the best class ever.
The best teacher in school. Extremely intelligent too, he's his chapter's president of MENSA or something.
funny guy, makes the class fun and the information is very interesting. All the tests and essays are on WebCT, and you can take the quizzes up to 3 times, essays are VERY easy and short. EASY A!!
awsome teacher. doesnt pile on the work. explains all assignement in class and gives you examples of what he wants.
easy teacher...best teacher at utsa...he gives u like 3 or 4 exams but there on web ct and u can take them 3 times..he gives u 3 or 4 eassay and that is it..u dont even have 2 been in class..he is real smart and funny..TAKE HIS CLASS!
Super easy class, lectures are exciting and interesting. easy "A".
Exceptional teacher; very smart and interactive w/ class. Attendence not mandatory but show up anyway, very interesting and funny. Well worth it.
Awesome Awesome teacher. I've had him for two classes now and he is great! Very helpful and nice. I'd definitely take him again!
This is the easyest A you will EVER get in college. There is no reason not to take this course. It is a GPA booster. THERE WILL NEVER BE AN EASIER COURSE IN COLLEGE. I showed up to class twice and got an A in the course.
i went to class literally twice the entire semester and made an A! everything is over the web so you dont need to go to class. i spent 20min on our final project and got a 100. easy easy easy!
if you need to boost your GPA,take this guys class,easiest A ever.anyone who walks out of this class w/out an A has some serious problems.like i said,easy A.write a few papers,take a few easy from the text online quizzes, go to class and you'll get an A
Easy class and the discussions cover interesting topics.
Very smart, articulate and humorous professor. He listens to the students. Excellent class w/ great discussions & lectures. All work (easy quizzes & essays) submitted online via Web CT so technically, you can ace this class and not even show up! However
Very easy professor. Extremely lenient on grading and due dates. Show up to class and don't make excuses or it can get very unplesant. Assignments are fairly easy. No reason not to get an 'A'.
Take this class if you want an easy A to boost your GPA. I personally didnt get much out of it, because im not that interested in computers. We do everything online and there is really no need to go to class. Class consists only of students speaking their drawn out opinions. Cool guy though.
Class is so awesome. Good GPA Booster. Everything through WebCT.
KOOLEST TEACHER EVER!!! DEFINITELY TAKE THIS CLASS! HE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING!!
i do not know how can people like him,if you want to take credits and do well then take him--but if not good in writing paper ,do not take him--coz his grader is not flexible like him--basically nothing to learn in this class-you not gain any skills in this class,just wasting time to go to lecture.
if u want to earn credit but do not want to go to class,take him-he is not helpful.
What a joke! Easy yes! You dont even have to go to class. But you have to write many papers, two are research papers and the grader takes too long to grade them. The class is 2weeks away from being over and I have an essay and 2 research papers ungraded! He is also very arrogant and rude!
THE BEST PROFESSOR AT UTSA BY FAR, EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE HIM. SUPER EASY
If you want to learn, he is ready to help you. If not, then he's not going to force you. Go to class & he will take care of you, maybe raise you a letter grade if he sees real effort. I learned from him because I asked questions and initiated class discussions. If you show interest, he does too.
I was in a Data Struct class WITH him back in '94. We had a tough prof. 1st exam: he got the highest grade, and I had the 2nd highest. 2nd exam: he aces as usual. I flunk and drop the class. Next semester, I find out he's actually become a teacher! Heard he was quite interesting & fair.
This man will remind you of Shrek. Only older, grumpier, and uglier. He is arrogant and does not actually teach. He lets the class talk unendingly about, I kid you not, robots implanted in your brains. If you want a GPA booster go for it. If you are a serious student, go elsewhere.
Easy prof.
Great class!
Easiest A ever! Dont have 2 go 2 class. Quizes r easy, have 3 chances 2 take the same quiz over. No tests! 5 one page papers! I dont think they actually read them. must be 500 words, thats it. Go 2 class the last 2 weeks of the semester, you'll have a surprise! :)
Great class to boost GPA. Easy A.
had a 30 or so avg b/c i missed a couple important research things he gave on the internet. so i went to class for a couple weeks, engaged in the discussions, and when final grades were coming out (i still had a 30 something) he bumped me to an A. cant get much better than that. fun class too
THIS CLASS IS EASY, definately a GPA booster, you don't HAVE to go to class but if ya do he will help you out alot.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND if your just looking for a class to get the 3 hrs required. Easy A, great GPA booster. Do the quizzes, essays and the 2 research essays and youll be fine. And the best thing is you dont have to go to class cuz all your work is on webct. sounds like alot, but very easy. EASY A!!!!
THis is what an elective should be like. If you can read, you can pass the quizzes. There are a few papers to write, but you get the assignments early, so you can finish everything the first week of class. Instructor is very interesting and thought provoking, plus he shows some cool web sites.
Good GPA booster! All assignments are completed and turned in through WebCT no exceptions which he will make VERY clear. Essays only have to be 500 words, online quizes come straight from the book. Do you work get an A.
This teacher is very...very......extremely hard.DONT TAKE HIM... I made a 100.
This is a good class to take if you do not have a good GPA. He is a good teacher, but he doesn't like for people to come in late, talk in class, or come only when he is offering extra credit points. he will not give them to you. So my best advice is to go to class as much as you can.
To be honest I never really went to this class, but i kept up with the assingments which are done over WebCT and I ended up with an A. It is such an easy A I recommend for everyone to take it.
One of if not the easiest classes I ever took at UTSA. I showed up the first day and never showed up again and made an A in the class. There is no point going to class bc all his stuff is on WebCT. I recommend everyone take this class as it is a good GPA booster. Trust me you wont be sorry.
Good teacher just go to class....Easy A.
Full of himself; he's like the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons in 10 yrs. Disabled the entire classes computers because 1 person was playing solitare. I didn't learn anything after he did that. Very anal about turning in late homeworks. If someone was 1 second late turning it in, he'd make a big deal out of stamping it in front of the entire class
This class is so amazingly easy and is saving my GPA for sure.
Womack is freakin' awesome!
He's awsome! this was an easy class, lectures were fun, just dont walkin late cuz he hates that.just show up once in a while and make sure he see's you attend, do a few easy assignments and you get an Easy "A" !
the easiest professor by far. i went to class the first day and that was it. i got an A for basically doing nothing. just do the work he assigns really early and u won't have to worry about this class. easy GPA booster. If you think u are failing just attend class and particapate and he will help u out.
I went to class for two weeks before I realized it wasn't necessary, everything is done online (finish that and you’re done with the class) I didn’t turn in the project and still got an A! So long academic probation...great guy and interesting too for those you who decide to attend class.
EASY A! Never went to class once. Everything is done online-4 essays and 2 research papers-extremely easy! Definitely recommend and great GPA booster!
Go to class and make an A, no questions asked. Excellent lectures and information. A legitimate educator, one of few at utsa.
Great teacher. Do the open-book quizzes, essays, and research projects (all on WebCT). Should you miss an assignment, just go to class and participate and he will boost your grade. Very easy to make an A. Class size decreases very quickly, so he knows who goes to class and who doesn't. "Must take" for GPA boost.
This was a great GPA booster. He is a very nice man and helpful whenever you have questions. Just go to class and complete the online assingnments and quizzes. Very awesome class.
great professor, very smart man. Debates real world issues that cause you to think. You are not bored with him. The assignments that he gives forces you to take a stance on important issues now or in the near future. I would highly recommend anyone take prof womack
easY a*If You mAke AnYthINg LoWeR yOUR reTaRDEd*
aww man! this man is great! my fav. professor by far! if u go to his class which would make it pop. 20 people! then ur gettin an A.. if u dont go, ur prob. still gettin that A.. if u dont get an A... be embarassed! real talk! but go to class.. this man is great at messing with ur head! fun convos n debates!
this is a great professor! if you don't go to class just bc he's made it easy to pass you're missing out on the great lectures and debates that are going on in class
Professor Womack is an awesome professor! Everything is done over WebCT. 2 research projects, 4 essays, and 6 quizzes. The class is actually easier than you think! Easy "A"!! Class and professor recommended!!
The guy with the obnoxious text is right, if you make anything less than an A, you are retarded. He actually told a story in class about one particular student that was upset because she got a 98 instead of 100 on a test, and he gave her another 22 points just to shut her up. Beyond that, he is an excellent teacher. Easy class that you learn in.
I'm currently taking his class and I think he is an awesome teacher. Even though his class is really easy, I've learned soo much in his class. I think all teachers should teach like him instead of overwhelming you with so much material and grade unfairly that you just end up hating the class. He's straightforward and always there to help you out
Fairly easy class. Req'd reading before every class for discussions, which hardly anyone participated in. Made an A with moderate effort. Would take again with same prof.
I can't believe people actually like his class. I did all the quizzes and essays before they were due, never had a book, and still made a 100 in the class. His class was extremely easy. As far as the lectures, it was a bunch of people arguing over pointless and sometimes offensive things such as killing off the sick population to save the sick.
Professor Womack is an ideal professor. At the beginning of class he is very upfront about what he expects of you, and it's not much. There are ~5 quizzes which are easy. 4 short essays, and 2 short research papers about any topic you desire. All he asks beyond that is you attend class for discussion and your almost certain to get an A.
wow this is was by far the easiest class i could imagine. I went to class probably 4 times the whole semester and finished with a 100. No semester final. You have 6 quizzes the whole semester that he only accepts online. So you go home and open the book and find the answers word for word. 4 essays. 2 projects (longer essays). SUPER EASY!
He constantly asked questions of the class, which really interrupted my sleep, so I just stopped going to class. If you do not get a A in this, you really should consider dropping out. All the tests and assignments are done online. I dont think anyone reads the papers, only thing done is spell check and word count. Stick 50 "the"'s in paper!
I really really really do like him.... he is easy, nice, and funny....i believe that utsa should have more professors like him... easy A easy class what do u want more right?
If you need a free elective or need a GPA boost this is your class, minimal amount of effort required, you dont even have to attend class. If you buy the book you can return it after you finish your quizes which is the first day of class. This is a FREE A+ class. I just wish he taught more classes.
Awesome class! Everything is turned in online and is given to you the first day of class so you can do it whenever before the deadline! TAKE this class FOR EASY A+!
EASY EASY A! no final, just check out book from library and do all quizzez no need to buy it. I never stepped foot in that class and i got an A+. everything done online, great great class!
GO TO CLASS. I can't stress this enough. You don't have to attend a single class in order to get an A (everything is online) but I swear this is the coolest class I have been to. He doesn't lecture. Its more like 10 students (average attendance rate of about 5%-6%) sitting in the class talking about whatever subject we end up on. GO TO CLASS!
I took this class because I took him for CS 1043 and it was easy so I figured it would be easy again. Boy was I wrong. He is a horrible teacher and doesn't help at all. He is rude, sarcastic, and he tries to be funny but he isn't. Don't take this class, you will regret it.
One of the best professors to grace UTSA with their presence. Unfortunately he quit to finish his doctorate in educational leadership, and I don't know if he'll go back to teaching when he finishes. Everyone that actually attended his classes will sorely miss him.
BEST CLASS EVER!!! GPA BOOSTER! THIS CLASS WILL BE THE BEST DESCION FOR YOU IF YOU DONT WANT TO ATTEND CLASS OR READ OUT OF THE BOOK. ALL ASSIGNMENTS ARE ONLINE, THERES NO TESTS AND NO FINAL. I WENT TO CLASS THE FIRST WEEK. AND I STILL GET A 100 ON EVERYTHING. ALL PAPERS ARE OPINIONATED/
He is a wonderful teacher. Interesting information, and will open your mind up to different perspectives and reconsider your opinion. You CAN get an A+ without going to class. But you should go to class. It's worth it.
There are easy A's, and then there's this class, which is the easiest A you will ever receive. The class is pretty interesting as well, but it's mainly a nice little GPA boost. You don't even have to show up, and you can earn an A.
He is a phenomenal teacher. If you're looking for an easy A I suppose this would work, but I recommend you actually go to class and try, you know, get your money's worth. Ask plenty of questions, and attend. The lectures are great for shaping your opinions on hot topics. You could seriously learn a thing or two. Or three. Hell, even more if you go.
Nice guy overall but sometimes mentions things that won't be taught until later courses and can cause confusion. Go to tutoring for the labs and you'll have an easier time in this class. Pretty easy A
The first week in this class, you're thinking, "Man, I don't know, this might be a difficult class" or "I don't even know what a Java is!". But no worries, it gets REALLY easy. For the labs, go to the tutoring lab. They will literally do your lab for you and show you how it works. Womack is a great teacher.
If you need Java programing take this teacher. Very helpful and always willing to answer questions. Material is not easy, but professor Womack will answer questions and help with problems as long as you show you want to be there. Book is helpful, and tutoring in the lab is a must to get an A. Learned a lot more than expected. Excellent class!!
This professor went out of his way each and every single class period to answer any questions student's had. He was very generous and extended due dates in times that we needed extensions. He cares about his students as long as you show interest in the class. Take this professor!!
Amazing professor, he helped everyone who had a question about java, he is most likely the best teacher at UTSA. If you need to take a computer programming class, take it with him!
Really great professor, helped everyone who had questions, take womack if you need computer science!!
Professor Womack is a really awesome guy. He helps any student who asks for his help. Take his class if you want to pass.
Very easy class. As long as you did your work and turned it in on time you would get an A. If you showed up for his lectures, that were usually boring, then you would get an A+. Book was not needed and all material needed for the test was on BB. If you want an easy A for a core class then I suggest this class and teacher.
I loved this class. Teaching style: discussion, primarily about the impact of technology now and in the future. Dr. Womack is patient, intelligent, and respectful. Although the class was very easy, I would have enjoyed it just as much if it were not. Not just for Computer Science students! Go in and walk out thinking critically about the future.
Hands down the easiest class you can take at UTSA. Take this over drugs and society any day. First of all its a hybrid class and you can go once a week. I never went to class once and I got a 100 on every assignment.
Hands down easiest class you can take at UTSA. All assignments and quizzes are posted online, as long as you read the study guides he posts, you don't even have to show up to class. I went for the first few weeks, but he allows the students to pick the discussions and it doesn't relate to what you are tested on. TAKE THIS CLASS FOR EASY A+
This was an easy class, but was rather boring. He just talks about whatever comes to mind. He doesn't come prepared with a lesson in mind. He doesn't let you use electronic devices during class because its a distraction. I'd take Drugs and Society over this course any day.
This class was a breeze. Attendance was not mandatory. The only homework was weekly essays. He is very particular about the word limit on the essays. If the word limit is 500 and your essay is 499 words long, he will cut points.
Very nice teacher, and very helpful. I'd love to take more classes with him.
I only went to class like 5 times the whole semester he doesn't care if you go to class, EVERYTHING even tests are online. I finished this class with a 100! He looks up a lot but tries to make you believe in what he does, like robots are good and stuff. He laughs at himself a lot, really sweet guy! If you are in class though bring entertainment.
IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO TAKE HIM THEN DO IT YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!
He really doesn't care if you come to class or not, his assignments and tests are online, and they are super easy. If you are looking for an easy A, look no further. He emails you back within a couple of hours if you have questions, definitely take him.
Super easy class! I got 100's on all my assignments. There were a lot of essays but wasn't bad and the topics were interesting. I don't see why anyone couldn't receive an A in this class as long as you turn everything in.
Dr. Womack is an excellent professor that genuinely cares if you pass. He was always willing to adjust due dates if the class needed more time on an assignment and he will gladly help debug your code. I would highly recommend Dr. Womack for any CS course!
There is a lot of group projcects but that's every AIS class. His lectures are super boring but that's because the class didn't like to participate. I think it's because he was quick to prove them wrong whenever students did try to speak up. Tests are online and open book. Attendance is not mandatory. Easiest AIS class. No in class writing assig.
The classes are just casual discussions about Internet articles related to technology and their societal impacts, and he's very easy on grading the essays. If you actually attend class and complete the assignments, you will get the A.
Super easy class. Don't see how anyone could fail his class, just do the assignments on time. He accepts no late work. His grading is really lenient and he's always willing to work with students, like moving deadlines over. Not going to lie, some of his lectures are pretty boring, unless you engage in them. Regardless, great professor and EZ class.
Class is easy if you know what you are doing for the tests and turn everything on time. He does move due dates around a lot which was really helpful the teacher however was never helpful when I had a question (would always tell me to take my questions to the tutors) and LOVES to call people out during class. Not a very caring teacher in my opinion.
Bad professor , he fell asleep a couple times because he doesn't teach!! If you are a computer science major and just starting off in programing DO NOT TAKE HIM!! He extends a lot of due dates if you ask him and gave out on extra credit.
Dr. Womack's class is the best option for beginners. I found it easier to just read the textbook and finish the projects/labs weeks in advance, but, if you're struggling, definitely attend because he does everything in his power to make your life easier (extending deadlines, giving VERY useful reviews before test days etc.)
Relies only on the lecture notes he provides rather than engaging with the students. The notes are there to aid the student not be a crutch for the. He puts students down. He seems to be emotionally inept. His students do not feel confident to inquire about topics they do not understand. You will find you will have to teach yourself the material.
Disrespectful and pretty condescending to those who asks questions. Skims over material, making it very hard for beginners. He seems to favor those who already know programming. He gets irritated when the class doesn't respond to his comments. Class is easy to pass if you learn on your own but he ends up giving up at the end of the semester anyway
Heres a man who taught the class in a monotone voice but had all the care in the world for his students. I learned a lot about java and gave people a chance to not take the final if you did good on the other exams. The real OG.
honestly gives you the answers to the labs etc if you ask him to help you. but you don't learn anything in this class at all all he does is read off the slides word for word and sometimes does examples. not very good at teaching overall
This class is what you make of it. He really cares about his students and wants them to do well, so if you ask questions he'll spend class answering them and helping with assignments. If not, he'll just read off the PowerPoints. Very heavy workload (as with any IS2033 class). Would recommend.
Java is a mostly self-taught course in general, so dont expect to ace the class from the lectures, hw, and projects by themselves. Dr. Womack is caring and will help you if you ask for it.
Condescending at times. Skims over everything and shows you how to do it without going in depth. He just gives you the answers, which makes it easy to pass, but is not teaching. You have to teach yourself or ask a million questions to even begin to understand. If actually want to learn how to program, take another professor.
