This was an online class. Might have well bought the book and taught myself for all the help we received from the professor. Lectures were worthless. Powerpoints were basic and worthless. Professor did not elaborate or explain anything. Personality is very bad. Would not recommend this instructor

what a bum. had him for 2 classes in same semester. very lazy and has attitude problem. his answers to any question? look in book/look at notes. dont care if you miss a lecture. will not discuss what was talked about. i ask could he go over a problem i had with code. his answer? we went over it before, just look in your notes.

This is by far the worst teacher to ever walk the earth. Taking his class is like not knowning how to swim and getting thrown into the ocean. His does not answer a single question you ask him, he will tell you " to read the book" or give you a run around. All homework is online and is kinda hard, he gives you 4 days to do it including your weekends

the "teach yourself" type of professor. don't take cisp360 with him. book is not the best. after the first half of the semester, hw and labs become confusing and difficult. they can drop your grade from an A to a C easily. rarely helps students and is very unclear when he "attempts" to help. you literally have to teach yourself in his class.

terrible teacher. unclear and cemented in teaching patterns. will take no alternate routes in teaching and doesn't clarify, he merely repeats himself. dropped me because he assumed i would not pass. what he had forgotten is that we have already communicated about this. he knows that im an IT at Fi$cal and also a comp science major that can code.

Bad teacher. Does not answer the question "figure out yourself". Finish up & submit labwork in single session or loose your grades. His lectures are just waste of time. What is the purpose of keeping him there? His attitude is nasty. If one is sick & unable to finish his lab then he doesn't allow extra time but feel happy to drop the grads.

This professor is not even good as I thought. He looks mean right away since the orientation. But he is the only option. DON'T TAKE ME EXCEPT ,no choice

Would not recommend at all but he was the only teacher. He expects you to go to him for help on things he doesn't go over, but will test you on and then not help you. Very disrespectful, unhelpful, unfair, and rude. He acts like a computer; copy and paste messages to all students; Did not feel like I was talking to a professor at all.

what is the point in keeping him to be a prof???? he is rude,disrespectful, and answer the question on your own. WHAT IS THE POINT IN TAKING THE CLASS IF I CAN LEARN FROM THE BOOK AND NO LECTURE?>? and not to forget his homework assignment is complicated. LEARN NOTHING OUT OF THIS GUY..

Very rude professor! Doesn't answer any of the questions properly. Just assumes that you know everything. Avoid Him. I had to drop the class finally.

He has a stuck up personality and dont listen to anyones opinion. His training is in mechanical engineering but he mainly teaches CISP beginning level courses. He is very hard to communicate and work with.

Makes the class work in groups, so of course there would be some similar content as another student. After turning in our work a few weeks later, he files a report saying that multiple students were cheating with similar content, but not EXACTLY the same content. Do not take this professor. Take this course and the next 2 courses at another school.

Extremely hard and rude professor. AVOID HIM!!!

Terrible Teacher. Extremely rude

Don't take this professor. Just don't do it. Listen to everyone else on here. If you do take it, be prepared to feel terrible every class. Do not take him. Listen to me.

This is the worst professor I have EVER encounter in my life! He is VERY rude to student's like if you do not answer the question he will call you on it. He does not learn names that quickly he calls you guy with a red shirt guy with glasses? I mean his class is a VERY unhealthy environment!Why did we buy textbooks when he does not use it!!

He destroyed my will to live and my will to be a programmer. if you want to avoid life from severe depression avoid this professor because he thinks he's teaching university level but it's just his teaching that makes an easy class hard. Other professors told me to avoid this professor and I advise you to do the same

Professor Shih's class doesn't prepare you for Chapman's CISP 360 class AT ALL. Unless you have a lot of programming experience, especially in C++, I suggest you steer clear from him as much as possible. If you do have to take one of his courses, put aside at least 12 hours a week just for this class, and don't mess around. He doesn't go easy on u.

He makes the class overly difficult. He makes his own standards for programming and everything must be exact. I don't know why he likes asking trick questions but he does. Gave a quiz on a minor topic that we wouldn't use. He is rude and acts like he is okay. Stay away from this teacher.

Stay away from this professor!!! he is the worst professor i had ever had in my entire life. I am majoring in computer science and this professor makes you hate your major. he is very rude towards his students. Trust me, do NOT take HIM..!!

This class is the definition of complete Despair. One time in class he told me to change my major to anthropology and I started to cry. He then proceeded to drink my tears and laugh.

This professor is so miserable that he's infecting other teachers with his garbage methods (releasing homework 48 hours before due, paper tests for CS classwork). He put me off EDUCATION as a whole for two years as a result of his "teaching" style. Best bet? Find training elsewhere, then take his class for an easy C. You won't get an A, anyway.

I did take the CISP 370 (Visual Basic Studio), but I need to take CISP300 for my A.S degree,but I feel bad and confuse his way. I don't know what exactly he wants me do in the homework. I just know it after he gives us the answer and I got zero. I'll dropd/withdrawal this class and wait for other professor and take it again.

I would not recommend you take any class with Chapman. Rude and condescending from his first class. Every question I've asked him regarding code implementation was responded to with "you should be able to figure that out." Lectures 5-10 minutes during the 3 hour lab. HW is posted 24 hours before due, assignments vanish 5 hr after lab w/o any reason

Assignments take hrs even though they are really simple. The time sink is his "Chapman Five Step Solution Method." EX: You have to draw a picture of what would appear on screen, including intros and all prompts. So sometimes you're drawing/writing the same thing verbatim multiple times, just changing one value. A monkey could do it, but unhappily.

The most memorable moment with this teacher was when he told me that I didn't accidentally do my homework wrong, I purposely chose to do it incorrectly. The class is terrible. The book was useless, but he always checked to make sure we had it. He was rude and spiteful in and out of class, and always acted like we were the worst students he ever saw

Prof. Chapman is by far the worst professor I've come across. His behavior is completely unacceptable. The way he conducts himself by belittling students should have been reported a long time ago. This behavior alone should be cause for concern, but his grading style is also tailored in a way that is not helpful for students. If you have a (cont.)

Hard make the course harder than it actual should be. Stop to talk his class if you want to continue your programming life. Only few people show up final exam day. Becareful

Chapman is definitely the worst teacher I've had yet, the dude never gives helpful advice and has extremely odd methods of delivering homework. He also feels as though he's ABOVE everything, and shouldn't be hassled to use such primitive systems such as the college website to post due dates/schedules.

Great teacher if you enjoy you enjoy doing a lot of reading and a lot work on your project just to fail because you missed one small thing. It doesnt matter that was your first time ever trying to do that, your supposed to learn everything perfectly from the book and come in monday ready for the quiz and with a perfect homework assignment

1st day of semester was a holiday, the 310 class I was enrolled in was Monday only. It didn't start until 2nd week, so I stopped by his 310 . I was taken aback by how immediately rude he was. Kept interrupting me and twisting my words. Very bizarre; never met a prof as unpleasant. Also, when I came in I saw him fully brush off a students question.

After two consecutive semesters in a row I can say, stay far away from his classroom. If you have a decent understanding of programming and a very loose schedule, have at it. If it is your introduction to Computer science find someone else. He is condescending; will never provide a straight answer until he feels he has humiliated you sufficiently.

Awful

I changed schools to FLC and omg its like im in heaven compared to this guys class. Easy A

I just come out of his office hour and decide to drop/withdraw this class and hes that kind of professor that make me want to change it major . ( this is how bad) I dont understand his lecture at all the stuff sounds easy but when he grade it, you realize you dont understand anything from that class. (Sign) I give up on computer science now ...

Don't waste your time, energy, or love for programming by taking this professor. He's exceptionally rude and is the most unprofessional employee at his institution. He plays mind games with his students. He abuses his power over them. Don't play his game and do yourself a favor and take someone else. You can become a great programmer!

Good person but not a good professor. I spent extra hours figuring out his homeworks - cutting into my other classes study time. Its not how hard it was it was how he would explain and then go back and forth on oops. If perhaps you take him for any reason - be prepared to write your own textbook and rewrite because of his mistakes he wont admit.

Homework and quizzes are ridiculous. Super hard and he does not help you prepare for them well at all. He will dock you a substantial amount of points for small errors. I feel bad for anyone getting into comp sci that has to deal with this guy, he might make you hate it. seriously he makes the class as miserable as he is.

Didn't even have a chance to take the class because the online class was so ridiculous. The quizzes and assignments were due within a 15min to 2hour window. Was not very flexible for an online class. Quizzes were open 6:00pm and closed 6:15pm on the dot. Assignments were not very well supplemented and the professor did not explain any material.

Horrible teacher, he should get out of this profession. Makes students feel like they're stupid when asked questions. Just because of him solely, I'm transferring to SCC to complete my Computer Science courses. Byeeeeeeeeeeee!

Honestly a terrible professor. Chapman encourages questions and collaboration between his students, yet it is impossible to do so without him restricting how his students can help one another. He's vague and flat out rude when you ask him questions. If you need this course, you're better off choosing another professor from a different college.

Sparse, disjointed, unprofessional course content. Felt like learning from notes three people took; hard to follow. 5, 2-page PDFs covered a whole week's worth of content. Lab had suggestions in it to complete it one way, but I was graded because he expected a different approach. Rude in discussion; his "help" was just saying you were wrong.

Horrible, won't help you in nothing. Only answer specific questions, when I asked him if I had anything wrong with my HW assignment he told me he will not look at it until he grades it. His lecture are confusing and horrible. I am new to CISP and didn't get any help during my time taking his class. I learned mostly from my other classmates then him

Grades tough on students and really slow on grading and giving feedback on work. About 5 weeks in and only 1 lab graded with moderate feedback. Not recommended if you're looking for help along the way and actual feedback.

Dropped his class. Tough grader. Barely gives any time for quizzes. Teaches terribly. I don't know why there are so many assembly profs that are so tough for such a minor class, but he is definitely one of them. If you're new to CS i feel bad for you. Its really fun, don't let this guy discourage you.

Does not care for students. He does not teach at all, makes constant mistakes and does not clear them up for students. He does not answer students questions clearly, assist them when he is needed, and does not give clear instructions on homework and/or exams. If your going to take CISP AVOID THIS PROFESSOR.

This teacher is horrible, gives vague responses and is so harsh in grading. He even gave a exam that gave questions about stuff he'd never taught. When he realized this he told us oops I made a mistake and had to give us extra points to make up for his stupid mistake. He barely teaches us anything and his lectures are confusing. I should've withdra

The professor is rude, condescending, no late work, obscure due dates for assignments and exams, lectures are confusing and hard to read, and will mark you off for little mistakes. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR, SWITCH CAMPUS. If you do end up stuck with Chapman, I'd suggest being in contact with other students to pass using apps like Discord or drop.

Due dates were weird. He was very unhelpful. Exams had content that wasn't taught during the course and continuously accused the class of cheating. I would never take any classes with this professor again.

I despise this professor. He doesn't do videos or PowerPoints. Instead, he posts plain text pages on Canvas. He is rude and condescending. He doesn't allow his students to cooperate on ANYTHING. He grades harshly and puts things on the exam that weren't on the lectures. Do not take him, no matter how much CS you already know.

Prof Chapman was condescending whenever I requested help. There were no lectures, presentations, only photographs of hand-drawn assignments. He required all assignments be hand-drawnin a computer science class. His comments were extremely terse and unhelpful, and he was a slow grader. My advice: Do not take his class if you can at all avoid it.

Grading was tough. Homework based on lectures and lectures are all text formatted so you have to read a lot. Rude and straight forward. I was absent once because of a fever and that day he gave an attendance quiz which was worth 30 points and wouldn't give points to me no matter what. Handwritten code (pencil) for hw's, exams, and quizzes.

He uses his own made up programming language, has us write code in our notebooks for homework and quizzes, and his lectures are just two example problems that we have to try to fit the homework that 90% of the time has very little to do with it. Every time I'd ask a question he'd make me go to office hours and still would avoid them. Rude and blunt

One week into the semester, his class still says "open - permission number required" and he has 11 open seats. Still won't let me into the class though, emailed me within one minute to tell me I cannot enroll in the class, and after I followed up, no response.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT STARTING TO CODE. After a couple weeks into the class you find yourself question if this is even a computer class. One you don't actually start on computers (surprised?) you start with writing on pieces of paper on GUI and calculation. Computer science its about computers not paper.

Terrible Professor, contradicts himself very often, tells you one thing, then tells you it's wrong. Computer class on paper, work is often tedious, though not difficult, so much redundant writing for no real reason, overall terrible class.

This has to be if not the worst teacher I have ever taken. Imagine a teacher docking you points off the start of the semester because you didn't take Math 400(Calculus). I thought this was a C++ programming class not a class programing ridiculous math problems that don't solve anything. He has made his own language that makes no sense.

If you're majoring in computer science, just enroll in a different community college. It's this guy all the way up the CS ladder, and he runs his class like a reddit moderator. Extremely unhelpful class documents, and if you ask for help in the discussion thread he'll just refer you to a separate, equally unhelpful document. Save yourself the pain.

This professor is so rude and lack of understanding the student and he demoralize the student in the very first day of class. I do not recommend anyone take this class.

Professor Chapman is a gargoyle that un-stones himself only to fly down and make snarky remarks at understandably-confused first year students. He does not give lectures nor teach in any way, and he sinks his claws into your weekly work when you least expect it-at 6:35pm on Saturdays. After all, a gargoyle must be ready for churchgoers on Sundays.

Chapman is rude and condescending, grades based purely on how close your words just so happen to be to his, puts the most confusing ways of how to learn the concepts while forbidding students use google "punishable by failure in the course", forbids students to talk to each other, refuses to actually answer questions or explain any topics, etc.

Falsely accused me of skipping class even though I didn't. Will not allow different methods being used. Grading is based on how related your answer is to his. Overcomplicates everything. I have previous computer science experience and I even struggle to understand him. He is strict and occasionally rude. I suggest finding another professor.

Honestly, don't take this professor!!! Go to a different community college to take this course. He is rude, very strict, and does not allow others to talk to students. He accused me and my friend of "cheating". Oddly enough, my friend did not receive a formal warning from the Dean, but I did. Luckily, it was not permitted on the transcript.

I was going through a mental crisis when I was taking him, and from the experience I had from the semester before (by having a different abusive professor), I didn't want to go through the trauma again. The thing that was understanding was that he let me drop to take care of myself. Always take care of yourself, and don't take him.

I've never met a more rude and more condescending professor in my entire life. Prof. Chapman really tops the chart with that. Making it seem like collaborating with other students is illegal is mind blowing to hear. He doesn't teach whatsoever. Very rude and unhelpful to students as well.

Be prepared to know the answer beforehand in case he randomly calls on you to answer the question that a student had. Forget about using the computer, you are mostly going to do the assignments on paper. As for assignments on canvas, be prepare for the short time window it's due so you might be at work the whole time an assignment open/closes.

Smart teacher, Very point deduction heavy, Need to put in massive amounts of time to pass. You need to go to office hours and come with questions he finds accurate trying to validate if something is wrong or right he will often leave you clueless hes very aggressive with attitude which i find gives students anxiety i know it did for me.

Do not take him. (3) 70 question 70 minute exams, 1 minute to answer each question. He is very slow in returning back the grades for the labs & exams. So you won't even know what your grade is or what areas you need help (this is not a student problem, this is a lack of instructor committed to helping problem). Deducts a lot of points for naming.

Please do not take class with him.

RUN!!!!!!!!

The only reason why I took this class was because Chapman is the only teacher who teaches Computer Science, I regret ever taking his classes and will not regret transferring to another college so that I can continue in Computer Science.

I will never take his class again! He's super rude with students, and I don't learn anything from him. The way that he grades in LAB is weird, and if you currently enroll in this class, PLEASE RE-THINKING CAREFULLY your decision! Find another Professor will help you a lot, instead of studying in this class. You should drop your class soon!

I asked Professor Chapman a question today in class. Instead of answering, he glared at me for a second, then turned around and left the room. He came back about 15 minutes later, still no answer to my question. When I returned to my car, I discovered he had stolen my cat converter!!! What the heck???

Do NOT take his class! Considers googling "how to" cheating & will report you. Gives cliff note versions of info. as a written lecture. Expects you to ask questions but responds roundaboutly or with a question. Doesnt give feedback on tests/labs. Talks down to students & gets mad if you answer quickly. All around bad; you have been warned!

Doesn't give you a chance, got dropped on first week because he favorites students based on their knowledge. Mess up once and your done, save your time and take the class in another college. If your a first semester student DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS, he will mess up your student Ed plan & transcript by dropping you (he WILL drop you). IF U C HIM RUN!!!!

Embodies everything that makes a bad professor. He's arrogant, loud and judgemental. On top of minor disrespectful acts like holding you back from leaving if you finish within 10 minutes of class ending and loudly correcting students mistakes. There are also major mistakes in curriculum that confuse you. Work is easy if you can handle the headache.

Just the main things , yells at people , lectures are not very clear he makes mistakes on them and if you do something improper from them its your fault not even lying he didnt recredit me on my score due to an error learning from his lectures, emailing him wasn't very helpful asked for validation, given incorrect info says I need to think better.

Abusive towards his students.

These reviews speak for themselves. Don't take this class or this professor. If you're interested in Computer Science, either find another professor or go to another college. You deserve better than this :)

CRC, fire this man

This professor seriously needs to get fired.

For a teacher who uses his power to mislead, falsely accuse or abuse their students, it would lead students to a harder path to recover from. This man in general is not fit to be a teacher, and the school should do something about it. Don't take this professor because he can't teach you, he'll hurt you.

I still don't get why he is a teacher, he is very abusive towards his students, and it can make your class experience a nightmare. He should be fired, get his teaching license taken away, and better have a job doing something else instead of teaching.

This man is definitely a definition of an abusive professor. Doesn't know how to teach a class, and makes you feel like torture (and constantly mislead you). For your sakes, take a different professor because they help. For him, he should be fired.

This is the most insane professor I have ever taken. I have been a software developer for 4 years and he accused me of cheating and tried to fail me. After being reported to the dean he specially waiting until last min where I had barely finished my homework from how much he assigns and drops me from the class in retaliation from me reporting him.

The professor like him should never be a professor in general. Outright abusive, falsely accuses students for something that we never do, definitely a person who should never be on school grounds. He should really be fired, or get a different job (but not as a professor). Avoid him, and he needs to be removed from the school.

Made me want to kms. Do your CS classes elsewhere. As a long-time software developer, this man almost made me hate CS. Let God take care of this man because he's straight-up evil. This is my first RMP rating because every professor prior had at least an ounce of humanity. I am genuinely unsure how this man is still employed.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!Cant even call this guy a professor. He probably hates his life and wants to make everyone as miserable as himself. Don't even bother to try to learn things yourself or from another textbook. If the slightest thing isn't his way he calls it cheating. Needs to be fired immediately, don't know how he is still there.

First rating i'm doing for a professor. WHATEVER YOU DO.. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. By far the worst person in all of LRCC. He doesn't care for no one and if you try to email him for something, he completely turns you down and doesn't answer/care to help. He will also accuse you for cheating if its not done his way...even if your code is correct.

Literally doesn't care as a teacher, will ignore you without any regard towards his students.

Can anyone sue this professor?

Actually the worse professor I've ever had. Never take any of his classes.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR NO MATTER WHAT TAKE THE CLASS AT ANY OTHER SCHOOL. This professor is the chair of comp sci at crc so complaining to the dean or any other person will literally get ignored. He will drop you for fun from the class as well I had to prove he broke faculty rules to get back into the class when I was dropped for no reason.

This man needs to be permanently removed from my school for abusing all school rules. He doesn't know how to teach, he thanks everything his way is always right, and it is not tolerable. CRC please kick him out of the school.
