I had quiz problems that I answered correctly that were marked wrong by the computer grader. Upon questioning this, he was more than happy to fix the issue when proof of a glitch was found.

He was a great Teacher the two times I took him but there is a caviot . You will only learn something if you want to . This is essentially an easy A class where you should pass easily but the real value of the class comes from discussing your coding with the teacher to actually learn it .

I enjoy classes like this where there is 1 discussion, 1 hw/lab, and 1 quiz every week. I like that it is consistent and easy to understand instructions. Lectures weren't bad. Labs were easy and fun. The quizzes were pretty straight forward, with one chance of a redo. Discussions were nice too because you could pick the questions you answer.

Going to be honest he doesn't teach, there are no lectures so you will find yourself learning every step guessing how to do something. it confuses me that you must pay for the class, the textbook, and an online course system to learn. then take a test that's only 10 questions that are worth 40 percent of your grade. He doesn't even teach really.

He provides the materials to use and then gives students the freedom to learn at their own pace and method. He had no midterm, but a final that covered everything. His final was reasonable. His homework was suggested, but participation was required. If the student wanted a good grade, the suggested homework was within their choosing and management.

I'd say for all the computer science majors, that this teacher should be the go-to for a lot of students for CSC-5. The class is about 5 assignments a week, and will require a good chunk of time to complete, but everything is extremely fair. Lots of time to complete assignments, and lots of opportunity to practice coding. Highly recommend.
