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.

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.

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.

Skip class? You won't pass.
