Good prof best cs prof I have ever had

his english is fine-however if ur not a CS major then DONT TAKE THE CLASS period

Pay attention + don't start the projects the night before = a piece of cake

He teaches his curriculum very well, he is very interested in helping his students and making sure they understand everything. Is very willing to give extra time on projects and tests if time is needed

Needs to work on english skills.

Tests-Nearly Impossible: Unhealthy amount of homework: Extremely helpful IF YOU ASK!! Teaches difficult topics.

Good teacher. Explained everything pretty well, willing to help outside of class. Sometimes English was a small problem.

Large work load, hard tests, and hard homework assignments...if you want to know your stuff, take Dulimarta. He's a good guy and really knows his stuff. Sometimes hard to understand, but all around a good guy. Expect to do a lot of work.

He is a very good professor. He is willing to help you as much as you need, and he shows good patience for a programming professor. He does give a good amount of homework, and the tests are not very easy. If you want to learn Java well, take this class, but be prepared to earn your grade.

Expect to do a lot of work on projects. Homework is difficult be he is always willing to help the students that visit his office.

Hans is a really great prof. He teaches the full gamut of the subject. When you take him you get the grade you earn. His projects are very challanging but if you want to really learn this is the guy to take. He is very personable and very open to office hours. If you need help just stop in.

Not entirely easy, but definitely worth the while. Projects demand a lot of time, but probably less than 163. Somewhat dry, but still vital if you wanna be a programmer, I'd say. Learning about C and Unix is an important step, and Hans helps you make it... but you MUST ask questions or visit office hours if you have trouble -very nice guy.

Hans is the man!! he makes sure you know material and he is always willing to help.

The main thing to remember is that this is a weeder course for the cs department, its meant to be hard. But prof Dulimarta does all he can to help and is always willing to help. Best advice is to boost grade as much as possible cuz the end of the class is tuff.

Great class! perhaps too much on math, but the things you learn to do are awesome! Just give it your all and you will get an A. But, need to go to every class because he moves fast! Always available to answer questions and extend projects if needed.

Dulimarta is hard to understand at first, but in the end he was VERy helpful with C. As long as you ask questions he is willing to answer anything, you just have to ask him. If you do not ask questions, you may be lost. He is very easy if you have any interest at all in Programming in C.

Tough class. Requires a lot of work. Awsome professor. Really knows his stuff. Assigns more homework than other professors, and more difficult homework... but it really is needed to understand the material and get a good grade in the class. Deffinately benifitted from having this professor.

I liked this professor. I thought he was very nice and the work was not that hard. Lab tests were pretty easy, but classroom exams were a little tough. I found this class and professor to be helpful.

A good professor. Interested in what he teaches and tried to help the best he can. Some things explained less then fully but he will help as long as you ask.

Easy class if you have ever taken any kind of programming before. I feel as though I would have been lost if i had never programmed before. Nice guy, very good teacher if you pay attention. Do your work and you will get an A. Easy work.

I have no interest in programming, this class is required for IS major. And I think it is ridiculously hard. I spent more time working for this class than all my others combined. The programming projects were not related to class lecture. And he grades very tough too. Good if you have a genuine interest in programming, otherwise pass on Hans.

Make no mistake: he's one of the tougher 162 professors, but it only means you'll get a better foundation for later. Keep up with the numerous labs and projects and you'll be well-off for the future. Although some times he skimps on certain key topics I never found any of his assignments or exams especially challenging.

This class was very very challenging. I would spend days upon days doing homework and projects. He knows his stuff real well, and the best thing I did was visit him on his office hours for homeworks and projects. He really helped me understand things better. Before that I was frustrated and defeated because this class is HARD!! You will work in 163

Good teacher, assumes that you know a lot about programming. Ask lots of questions.

This class is kind of tough, especially for someone with no, or just 162 level, experience in java. Dulimarta is very helpful for those getting over the curve of syntax though. He stays past his office hours often. Today he came into the computer lab on a Saturday for a class open help session on the final project.

Hans is ok. His lectures tend to be a little scattered, and sometimes he leaves out something important. Very helpful during office hours. Projects were beastly and sometimes unclear, though. Start early, ask questions where you're confused and expect to put about 20-30 hrs into each one (3 total). Written tests were challenging. Overall: okay.

Hans is the best CS prof I have had yet. He is VERY tough with exams and demanding with homework, however if you want to learn he is the man to take, because he knows a ton, and he is very willing/happy to help you understand something-believe me I went to office hours a lot and he never acted annoyed. I have learned much with Hans

Very great professor. Always asks at beginning of class if there is anything you don't understand. Is always willing to help.

As long as you had a tough-on-you professor for 162, then you should be fine with Dulimarta. He seems to give slightly harder projects and longer exams that most people don't finish than other sections' professors. Although, at the end of the class you will know what you are doing in java. However, the linux labs are so pointless, teach yourself.

Dulimarta is a good professor. Don't expect to breeze through his courses, but you'll know more than enough to be successful for the next. I've had him for CIS162 and 163 as well, with 263 being the most difficult test-wise. If you want an A, take someone else. If you want to learn, take Dulimarta.

I greatly enjoyed Hans' lectures. He's the kind of professor that comes across as having a lot of passion for the subject he teaches. For an introductory course, he can sometimes talk above students heads, but he will clarify topics if you ask. Make sure to do well at the start of the class. It gets progressively more difficult.

The class itself is one of the hardest in the CS curriculum, no matter who you take. That being said, you will absolutely learn the content if you take Dulimarta. His lectures are very organized and clear. His exams are straightforward if you're in class. The assignments are long and difficult but he gives enough time to do them and some have EC.

452 with Dr. Dulimarta was excellent. A difficult class, but incredible how much knowledge he brought to the table. His background in C/C++/Linux meant that any Operating Systems questions I asked was answered.

Like others have said, Dulimarta is really smart, and knows his stuff. If you need anything clarified, you can go to him and he's happy to help, and will be able to point to where your problem in understanding is, just be prepared to work for your grade. This is a hard class.

Prof. Dulimarta is one of the best professors I've had at Grand Valley. He is always willing to help students outside of class, and is very knowledgeable about the subjects he teaches. His homework assignments and exams can be pretty difficult, but you are fine as long as you show up. I've had him for both CIS452 and CIS367 and he was great!

I had him for 263, 367, and 452. If you pay attention and do the homework (completely) you WILL get a B or better regardless of the exams. His exams are the hardest part of his classes by far. People who complain about him the most don't pay attention in class or don't go to his office for help. His lectures are VERY informative, avoid missing any.

As others are mentioning, Dulimarta's exams are no joke. I took him for both 263 and 343 and all 4 exams were very challenging and a struggle to finish. Do not let this deter you as his lectures are extremely interesting and informative. You will learn a ton if you take any of his classes. He is also very caring and is always ready to help.

He's a very good professor in that he cares about you doing well and he explains the concepts well. Lecture can be a little boring at times, and he is a bit sporadic - skipping slides, going back, going back to explain something he missed, but overall made the content easy to digest. A lot of homework/projects, but all very necessary

Professor Dulimarta cares very much for his students and offers MANY extra credit opportunities. Although, at times his lectures are difficult to understand, I learned a lot from his class. This prof. will show his appreciation for you if you do well in his class, and shows genuine interest in the subjects that he is teaching.

Professor Dulimarta gets a bad wrap, but that is just because his class takes a little extra time to do. I didn't get the best grade in either of the classes I took with him, but I don't think he is to fault for that. I learned a lot in both of his classes and he is a really great professor; he is always there to help if you need it.
