Most horrible teacher I've ever encountered in my life. You can't understand the words coming out of his mouth until he says "Halo" or "Battlefield". He kicks you out for talking and moves you around the class, even if you ask about the assignment. He doesn't help you, instead he mocks you. Just grab the assignment and leave. He's not fired yet?

He can be hard to understand sometimes, but the good news is his tests are completely based on his notes. Don't even buy the textbook, I didn't open mine from the plastic. Has a strange sense of humor. When you're talking to him you're never really sure if he's angry being sarcastic or not. If you're good with computers already he's fine though.

He is the hardest teacher of CISY 1110. Tons of memory stuff if you want to do well in exams and he expects you to learn everything by yourself. His midterm and final are harsh and quiz is not easy. Honestly you learn from him, but too much effort. But he gives enough time for assignments and he is a fair marker. However, his exams are nightmares.

DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK (wish I had known), you dont't need it, mines still sealed.
