Best professor I ever had. Teaches from his own notes, not the book. Would greatly recommend him for any programming class.

Great professor; he knows his stuff but I wish I took him for CSC 211! :-)

Almost dropped this class due to bad ratings here. So glad that I didn't. I loved this class! I learned a lot and found his lectures to be interesting. As long as you go to class and take notes the assignments aren't too hard. He's always willing to help when you're confused. Midterm is hard though so make sure you study a lot. An A is possible.

Oh he isnt that bad. He can be a bit boring but it's not like comptuer programing is the most exciting topic in the world to teach anyway. Hes alot easier to follow then other teachers i have had for previous programing classes. I recommend him if you need to take any java programing classes.

I'm not a CTI major and yet this class wasn't TOO bad. However, you do need to study alot, prob. regardless of who your professor is. Hes actually one of the more clearer CS professors. He is very helpful outside class. Hes alot better than majority of others. Homework and test are similar to class examples which he gives alot of. You'll learn alot

Class got a little boring at times, but I think that's the material more than anything. Knows what he's talking about. He's always helpful, just get to him in an appropriate amount of time. A little bit of effort will get you a long way. Has a quirky sense of humor that most just don't get. I'd take him again.

around 5 assignments, 1 final project, 1 midterm, no final exam. Just do the assingments and the final project on time. The grade is good. Easy and clear.

Very good teacher. If looking for an easy 'A' then maybe not for you. But if you want to learn and willing to do some work, darn good class.

He is great!!!! Anyone that says otherwise just wants an easy A. Unfortunately there are slackers in the class that simply want an easy ?A?!!!! His grading is fair if you got a bad grade it?s because your programming sucks!!! I can't believe anyone would have anything bad to say about this prof, he is extremely smart, very well organized!!!

Great at explaining. Homework were helpful in understanding the material. Although, there was homework almost every week. He allows a one page front and back cheatsheet on exams. I open the book once and then never again.

He is very good teacher,If you dont know about subject He will take you in depth.

Great at explaining. Never had to open the book. Exams can be hard, but you can use two-side cheat-sheet.

Okay, ignore the 7-18-08 review. Seriously the best prof I've had. Very clear and concise, extremely helpful in and out of class. Very nice guy. Interesting lectures. Exams are challenging, but so is Java. Wish he taught CSC212 for the following quarter. I highly recommend taking him!

at my first year i picked him randomly and i was afraid being tought html and java with a hard prof would be a nightmare. It turned out that it was one of my best classes. Clear explnation and really mid-easy exams you just need to be carfull for the qutations and stuff over all GREAT professor, highly recommended.

He was a great professor, I would recommend him. He goes through the lectures and then gives examples to back up what he just taught. very thorough with assignments. tricky midterm..and final project was a breeze.

Dr. Schwabe is very good at explaining complex topics. He is easy to listen to and always tries his best to answer all questions completely. He is a fair grader.

Eric is an awesome teacher. Makes complex topics seem easy. Great examples that are concise and focus exactly on the point he is trying to make. I would take him again for another class in a snap.

One of the best professors in DePaul. Very organized and his examples are all crystal clear. I advise everyone to take his database course if you want to learn about the foundation of DB development

what an amazing professor. He takes ever thing that is hard and makes it super easy. His homework and exams aren't that hard, you just need to understand the question. He is very fast in replying to emails questions and grading assignments. I would recommend anyone who is interested in database to take this course with him

He is a great teacher, and the tests are not that hard. Everything you learn will be on the test. There are no random difficult surprises.

Very good professor. Class comprises of assignments and labs. I had a very high interest in HTML and javascript programming so this class was really fun. One day he teaches from powerpoint, and the other day is lab day where you work on what was presented. I would highly recommend him. Final and midterm very reasonable with no surprises.

Incredibly clear and willing to re-explain anything. Very approachable and easy-going. Explains everything and makes it clear what he expects of your assignments, labs, and exams. If you think the class is boring, then it is the class subject itself, not him. Take him if you can!

Don't buy the textbook. I got an A without doing any of the assigned tb readings. Profs material is more than enough to understand everything. Exams and assignments make you think about the concepts. Everything on the exams is covered in class at least once if not multiple times.

Mr. Schwabe is a good professor for this subject matter. We had lecture on Tuesdays and lab on Thursdays. This type of instruction was very beneficial to me and my learning style. Not a ton of homework, but the homework he does give will help you learn to write code. There is a midterm and final plus a final project. Overall good class.

Good lectures and assignments. Learned a lot in this class.

This guy was great, made databases interesting! He makes a few subtile jokes in class that are actually pretty great. You gotta show up to pass, but you don't need the textbook because the content is straightforward and organized. Study the powerpoint for the finalmidterm and you should do alright.

Great professor.

He is simply AMAZING. The best professor I have had so far. Explains everything very nicely and makes the subject super easy. A "go-to" person. No matter how many times you ask him questions, he answers very patiently and makes sure your doubt is clear. I highly recommend him

Eric Schwabe is probably the best teacher I have ever had. He explains everything very well, will answer all your questions ,and keeps it interesting. He managed to teach a bunch of non-programmers some basic SQL and never once did I find it confusing. That's talent! I highly recommend taking his courses.

Amazing, best teacher in 4 years of study.

Awesome professor for SQL. Crystal clear and breaks down complex topics so that beginners can understand. Learned a TON from his class, way more than if I took SQL for a different teacher. Yes, you have to do all the assignments and pay attention, but you're paying to learn. Take him for SQL!!

Professor Schwabe is probably one of the CS departments best instructors. He takes the time to explain ever aspect of the material and has no surprises on homeworks. If you attend the lecture and pay attention you will learn a ton from him and understand the course fully. Midterm and final were kind of tough, but manageable.

One of the best professors at DePaul. Highly organized/efficient at teaching Database Systems. Responds quickly to emails (not on weekends!), explains concepts very clearly. Midterm/Final mostly tested basic concepts, with 1 or 2 tricky SQL questions. Don't buy the textbook, just read his slides and write down his examples!! Highly recommended.

Professor Schwabe is a fair and knowledgeable professor who sets clear expectations. The lectures are full of examples and are very informative. Tests can be tough, but he is a fair grader who is there for you. He is quick to respond to questions and emails. Highly recommend and would take again.

One of the best professors I've ever had. His lectures and activities are very thorough, and he is very willing to help you with something you don't understand. Absolutely recommend him!

Schwabe is a super smart guy and his class is structured really well. His lectures are very clear and he is always willing to help. Would definitely take a class with him again.

Eric Schwabe is one of the best professors I have ever had. I took CSC 242, introduction to computer programming 2 with him. He wants you know what you are programming. You have to have a doc string at your each steps. In other words, you have to know what your program is doing. He needs to know how you did it. He lectures very well.

great lectures

Fav prof @DePaul so far! Prof. Schwabe is SUPER organized and we got through a ton of material. It's obvious that he actually puts in time preparing for class, and his lectures are better for it. His sense of humor is awesome--listen closely for some laughs. The HW assignments really helped me learn the material for the exams, which were detailed.

I was someone who was very intimidated by the thought of programming ... but Professor Schwabe actually made it fun and not stressful! He really knows what he's talking about, he's kind, and he's willing to work with you when you're struggling. Homework, midterm, final... standard stuff. Do yourself a favor and take him!!

This professor is one of the best ones I have had. He is enthusiastic about the subject and responded to questions outside of class quickly. I emailed code for him to check and help fix and he was prompt to answer. Very nice and tries to make the class funny. He also gives lots of examples that really help you learn and wants you to succeed.

He's a great professor. He's a little bit of a harsh grader but he gives excellent feedback on what you did wrong so you can improve next time.

Hes a nice dude and he teaches well. But be warned, if you cheat he WILL find out.

He is a very nice guy and if you pay attention in class you will do good. However, the guy is a bit strict, like a wolf in sheep's clothing. He will slyly call you out in front of the whole class for using your phone which was not expected from a professor as chill seeming as him. Otherwise I think he is very worth it to take.

He is a great professor. The only real cons to him are that he is ruthless when grading. Like I would go over my homework assignment 10 times to make them as perfect as possible and he would still take off points for the most minor of issues.

He's a tough grader but a nice guy and clear lecturer. He is always willing to help answer questions or explain topics.

Overall very nice professor. Is willing to help you outside of class. Make sure to take notes and watch the videos ahead of time. He will catch you if you work on assignments with other students so make sure they are your own. He is a tough grader when it comes to exams and even marks of for minuscule mistakes.

I wish I could have Schwabe for all my CS classes. What a great guy. He's very smart and very accessible outside of class which I appreciated. He takes the time to explain everything in his lectures, I didn't even have to read the book. All the assignments expectations are ez if you watch the lectures to know whats going on. His feedback is helpful

By far the best professor I've had at DePaul so far. His lectures are one of the easiest to follow along and gives plenty of examples to reference off of. I rarely had to read the book. Hw is very manageable and not really that hard. He does take off points for the littlest mistakes which is a bit annoying but it won't even matter.

Awesome Professor! I wish more Professor would learn from the way he teaches. Im taking him online due to covid, but it might even be better this way bc I just take screenshots of everything hes doing in SQL then put it into a document for notes. Overall, he is an excellent professor and super caring about students learning. Highly recommended!

Amazing! I wish he would teach more CSC classes. Some CS Professors can make me doze off but not him! He is a stickler on cheating/working together, but if ur cheating then ur not learning. He changes his HWs quarterly so there really no way to cheat, this way he forces you to learn. I liked that. He cares about ur learning by eliminating the urge.

Super nice teacher who taught us the material very straightforward! This was my first time taking a CSC class and by the end of the course, I feel comfortable explaining what I've learned and using Python on my own. His homework is a bit tricky if you don't pay attention during the lecture, but besides that, this is an easy A class if you try.

Prof's slides are organized and detailed, so you can often complete assignments just by reading the slides. You may need to review prof's lecture to figure out more complicated concepts, and prof does explain them well using step-by-step examples. 2-3 hrs for weekly homework so it's fine. Bad thing: only handwritten 1-page note allowed in final.

Prof. Schwabe was a great professor; definitely one of the best I've had. His lectures were organized to a tee, well thought-out, and had great examples to cover all edge cases. He did emphasize anti-plagiarism quite a bit (not sure why), but he was genuinely a nice guy and also very funny. Not sure where some of the bad reviews came from.

Nice guy and knowledgeable. He has well organized, comprehensive slides that are available during exams. All of class is following along with the slides and writing the code that he writes on the screen which can get a little boring but was helpful as this class is more about learning specific syntax in python (GUIs, html parsers)

Schwabe is a fantastic professor who genuinely cares for his students. I had a personal issue arise during the quarter and he was more than accommodating. Class was engaging, as he gives plenty of examples, lecture is made entertaining as he's genuinely funny. Honestly he was a great professor. I'm surprised anyone had a bad experience with him.

Honestly, Eric Schwabe is probably the nicest teachers out there. He knows his stuff and genuinely cares. All he cares about is if your learning and actually intaking the information. He is there when you need to chat. Beware though, he is anticheater, so don't cheat. I repeat, don't ask your friends for help, don't look online, just watch the vids

Solid professor with helpful lectures. He goes over examples not posted on the slides which are very important for the homework assignments and exams. Final is much harder than midterm so make sure you don't slack on the assignments.

Schwabe is very knowledgeable, and the material was valuable and well organized. You might need to review lectures on the more complex topics, but he does a great job making the content clear and approachable by explaining the examples. Work includes simple review quizzes, weekly problem worksheets, and midterm and final exams with 1-page notes.

Prof. Schwabe 355 was fantastic. His lectures were very informative and he often walked through many examples. The second half of the class really turned up a notch in complexity, so attending lectures is a must after the midterm. Weekly quizzes and pretty much weekly HW. Midterm and final were pretty difficult. I would highly recommend taking him!

Mr. Schwabe was a great teacher. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to teaching python and encourages participation. He is a very tough grader and you will often see yourself losing points for small things. The class isnt too hard as long as you actively do your homework and attend labs but the midterm and final are 70% of your grade, Be ready.

Good teacher. He has covid one week so we did not have class and we went from basic concatenations to nested loops. Huge jump and it was hard to really catch up. As long as you are good at coding and practice on your own, you should be fine. Final was harder than the midterm so be ready!

Prof Schwabe is a great guy. He genuinely cares about his students and wants people to learn. Material in this class definitely gets a lot harder after midterms, but if you watch/attend the lectures you will be fine. You're also allowed a double sided cheat sheet for both exams. Overall great professor, would definitely take again.

Prof Schwabe is a caring instructor who explains concepts clearly. The class gets challenging after midterms, but attending lectures and reviewing the free textbook resources help. Unstuck study was a useful study tool alongside the class materials.
