VERY lazy. Showed up late every day, with a lame excuse of coming from the other side of campus. Missed a few days and didnt plan around it. I don't think he reads assignments at all. I had no clue what was ever going on and almost dropped the course. But if you can deal with that, take him, easy A.

this guys the worst !! most of the class is based on stupid quizes he is the wrst dont take him ... he looks like the dad from that 70's show ...awful

Chose a different professor for this course

he's teaching NOTHING. i'm teaching myself. i paid for this?! doubt he reads any of the many assignments we turn in-he sure hasn't bothered grading any! great course, worst prof i ever had!

No Comments

This professor is unimaginable. No discussion at all. I dropped ASAP! He gave a 12pg research paper and didn't even clarify the topic. Also he never tells you what the ass. are I guess he expects us to know or something, He was not approachable at all. BEWARE!!

He was late to class a lot of times, and I guess that he was under the impression that he was teaching an upper level class, not an introductory one where a lot of people have never encountered programming before. You can say that he’s a sorry excuse of a professor who doesn’t know how to connect with his students.

he does not grade anything?

Took this guy for BUS 101 Internet course, and if you care about your GPA do NOT take him!!! Loves the girls and gives them better grades. Don't be lazy, go to the campus and take Wathen. If you can't get an A in her class, seek professional help.

Have had this Professor for 7 weeks and I can say that he is the worst Professor I've ever seen. He clearly attacks students in class, and FAILS TO GIVE DUE DATES FOR IMPORTANT PROJECTS. He mentions them once, then suddenly 3 weeks later It's due the next day, announced in an email. NEVER TAKE THIS TEACHER.

worst teacher ever-disorganized- no follow up-take another if you have the choice- you could teach yourself better than he does. Its a shame MCC doesn't review these sites

took his online business class, what everyone says is true. did not respond to emails, was not helpful. put grades for entire course up in one night. definitely does not read the papers. waste of time, but I got a B because he just grades arbitrarily

Lazy Uninterested misses class always late and these are his good points! Stay away.

Whenever I NEEDED help to raise my grade he did nothing at all. Even when I asked if there was any chance for me to pass he said I could but still did not pass me. Hes the worst prof I've ever had, stay away especially if you dont want to be bored to death. No matter how hard you try in his class he is uninterested in his students passing his class

This guy basically refuses to teach. He lectures like you already know Java but you obviously don't since you are taking this class for the first time. He mumbles over powerpoints that don't make sense since he doesn't go over anything. The work isn't hard, just confusing since you are teaching yourself a computer language. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

GET READY TO STUDY ON YOUR OWN. HE WONT TEACH ANYTHING. HE WILL ASSUME AS YOU KNOW EVERYTHING.

This Guy Refuses To teach I mean by any mean This guy assumes You know coding Like real programmer. Gives Lab Assignment that he doesn't even care about it. If You want waste your money than take this guy. I took him because I nedded this class to graduate. BE AWARE!!!! When you take him. It's Like You are Digging Hole For Your Self.

always came 5 to 10mins late even on first day of class he was unsure if it was his. expects u to know programming in a intro class was not helpful avoid if u care about ur gpa

Took Business 101 Online. Guy forgot we still had class three weeks before the semester ends. Assignments are not clear. For a CSC teach, he cannot run an online class. Never met in person but I am assuming he's at the end of his career.

Taking CSC-105 online. Very unorganized & unprofessional. Took a month after class started to upload our assignments. Does not offer any help & good luck getting a response to any e-mails you send him bc he doesn't bother looking at them. I still don't know my grades bc he will not tell anyone. I have to go to the Dean now bc he refuses to teach.

He's not a professor. A professor would be organized and ready to teach. He's not. A professor would give you more than one type of the same "practice problem" or question to answer so that you can understand the material. He doesn't. A professor would help you out when you have trouble doing an assignment. He doesn't. I'd stay away from this guy.

I took csc161 in his class in Fall semester, it was completely a nightmare. In his lecture, he assume that you know everything. What he did is that coding in his own way which is extremely different with textbook. You should cut and paste his work and understand it by yourself at home in order to pass lab quiz. There is NO TEST REVIEW anymore!

He expects too much from his students. It was a beginner class and yet he expected us to know everything. He will even make fun of you if you ask too many questions. NOT HELPFUL AT ALL!! and does not respond to your emails either

just don't

Very poor explanations of the material, being that this is an INTRO class, you would expect that he would be willing to work on understanding the base material but he almost ridicules you for asking for help understanding something during class. Short poor explanations at the beginning of class and then the rest of the class is used for lab work.

Just don't take him unless you want to get F.

For an intro class, he is a very hard professor because he expects you to know so much even though it was some people's first time being in a computer science class.

Did not post first week of assignments until the second week. Had a syllabus of spring 2017 dates when the class started in fall. Did not respond to any of my emails- replied to other classmates. Found out information from other concerned classmates via email as no one know what was going on. Did not post online assignment until past midterms.

Absent. Left the class without a professor for nearly the entirety of the class. Rarely, if ever, responded to emails. No assignments posted for weeks. Wrong dates. Left the entire class struggling to figure out what was due and when. We depended on each other to get through the course. Shameful.

He was never able to be contacted - and when he would answer it was weeks later. His instructions are not clear, and again seemed bothered when questioned about it. WOULD NOT take him again ever. I had to figure out my own way to pass.

I mean obviously he is good at computer science but when it comes to teaching absolutely horrible. I am sooooo scared like seriously, I know that I am going to fail and that my GPA will be so messed up due to a professor that doesn't care about his students. He does not have grounded communication system with the student outside and within class.

What a joke!! This professor put zero effort into teaching his online computer class. Little to no clear instructions throughout the entire course. Basically anyone who takes this class is self teaching. Also, very slow at responding to emails.

This guy does not know how to teach. Worst professor ever. Do not take him!!!

I took Spector's online course for CSC105. It was the worst online course I've taken so far. Syllabus was from two years ago, wasn't updated until mid-semester. Minimal communication until the last month of the class. Less than half the class knew about an important term paper. No direction. The course evaluation didn't allow you to offer feedback.

Take my advice, DON'T TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Trust me, you'll thank me later..

Didn't respond to emails. took weeks to grade assignments. syllabus, modules and assignments ALL had different due dates listed. Even has items listed on syllabus for both before AND after semester was over.

I dont even know where to start... This professor shows up late every single day, His teaching method is summed up basically as if a driving teacher shows you how to drive automatic and then expects you to make the test using stick... no extra credit... he says the quizzes they was the most bs thing about his class... and the test are no best AVOID

You will email this professor about technical issues and he will just brush it off. I work in healthcare and during COVID my life has been nightmare. I am getting A's in my 2 other courses while failing this one due to the lack of care from this professor and carelessness from the school. I am just trying to graduate

He doesn't understand the basic thing that when we connect a file with our code and share it with others they have to change the file location form the code in order to run the program.

never answered emails and when emails were answered he would only answer to one question and not the whole thing

He never replies to any email, and he emails once that quiz is on that day. There is no material from where we can prepare for the quiz, and he never gives us any idea what will be in the quiz. He needs quiz submission in a specific file extension, and if we send him the file with other extensions, he will give you zero.

DON'T EVER AND I MEAN EVER take this Professor. Because he gave me F without grading half of my assignments due to the complain I made to chairperson. He never reply to emails on time nor does he grades any of the assignments before the final so you will never know if you passed or failed the class until 2 or 3 weeks after the Semesters end.

Do me a favor and dont take this Professor. He is bad at responding because he doesnt give a clear answer. The course modules is a hot mess and it makes you so confused to the point where dont even know where you should start this assignment. Dumps all the assignments on us and leaves everything on us to do. Was a waste of my time and money.

Does not answer emails. Homework and tests little instruction.

He is the hardest Professor at MCC, It is impossible to hold off on this Professor. He gives the students "surprise Assignment" also normally Professors would let you know in advance about quizzes coming up. in other words, he tells you a day or two before Computer Science is not a joke From my class a lot of students left because they failed.

PLEASE, if you are thinking about taking this professor for intro to java JUST DONT DO IT. not only is he extremely rude, he isn' responsive at all with emails, gives 1-2 days notice of when the next quiz will be, and just does not care about his students. He makes you take the quiz on a zoom call. He is the literal gatekeeper of the comp sci dept.

I recommend not to take this professor.

WORST TEACHER IVE EVER HAD..... This man doesnt care if you pass or fail literally will tell you tough luck try better next time.... what worse is that his reviews are terrible his tests are basically everything you learn form past units into one program when he NEVER taught us how to combine things we learned together PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS Prof.

Professor doesn't really teach the course just asks if students have any questions and also is very clumsy with grading. Removed crucial grades at the end of the semester due to a canvas misunderstanding and claims that grades were never inputted. Horrible professor.

He's just there for a paycheck lol. Terrible pacing and grading. Go ahead and take him if you're okay teaching yourself, but be SUPER CAREFUL on the tests. His grading criteria doesn't make any sense, and the final was 45% of the overall grade and most of the class didn't pass. Also codes and grades STRICTLY in Textpad 8 for some reason.

I would not recommend this class to anyone. Exams are not graded until the last day which means students are unable to gauge how well he or she may be performing in the class. E-mails are never answered even though we are told he will get back to us within 24 hours. Finals were allowed to be interrupted by other teachers and that is unacceptable.

Would not recommend this guy. All the assignments are auto-graded and there are lots of glitch in system and grades. he won't fix it. Rude in emails. Stay away

Boring lectures. Difficult final exam. Tons of homework and rudeness. Avoid

Not an easy person to talk to. Rude and disrespectful by assuming I had bad intentions when asking for help. Not able to take criticism from students or students cannot ask for help as he is defensive.

Please avoid. Class is nearly completed auto graded by Cengage and taught solely on Cengage, no lectures, powerpoint or notes from the professor himself. Save money and just buy the Cengage program on your own because you will be teaching yourself in this class.

YOU MAY HAVE A 100 FOR ALL THE QUIZZES, PROJECTS,DISCUSSION, AND HOMEWORK. BUT IF U FAIL YOUR FINAL TEST. YOU WILL GET A 100 TO A 55. I JUST WISH THE FINAL TEST WASN'T WORTH SO HIGH. LIKE WHY CAN IT BE LIKE 10%. I DON'T DO TESTS. I WISH IT WAS ONLINE.

Girl when I tell you this was NOT it. Believe me.

honestly this is the worst and most unorganized professor and most rude I've ever had to deal with. do not take his class. I never had to step up and use this website but this made me.

Please reconsider if you have this professor. He is inconsiderate & disrespectful. He threatened me via Canvas. He then said I received a D after I had completed all of the work he assigned. He took forever to grade. He then sent an F to the school which was incorrect and it was posted on my transcript. I had to HR many times through the semester.

He's a tough grader, he's either given me a 0 or 100, absolutely nothing in between. If you expect to receive any help from him GOOD LUCK, he's not helpful at all I had to get in contact with other classmates instead to get any type of help. For this to be an intro course I wish I had a more helpful professor.

He seems to completely ignore people who are taking the online version of this class. No response to email asking for help, or any clarification on assignments. He also didn't make or grade any of the assignments posted, all of them were from Pearson.

Oh you think he's soooo nice. NO. Horrible Horrible person. 40 assignments are you out of your mind? Such a harsh grader. He thinks my life is dedicated to his work. I'm sitting here crying trying to get ts done. Never again. I think what he loves about his job is failing his students.

If you want loads of work take this class. Immense amount of work especially for winter class you will not have any free time with him as your professor.
