Not bad professor. Keeps lecture interesting, work is very straightforward.

This guy knows his stuff and makes it easy and fun to learn.

If you want to learn programming by the end...take Scripps. He makes you learn.

Cool guy, tries to keep it interesting, slips in odd jokes to cause interest

Very tough class. Teacher gives you help and supports you if you make an effort.

after you have other cs profs you realize how good jerry is

I agree, you don't realise how good Jerry is till you have others

Great guy, the funniest class I have this sem., material is hard for beginners

probabley the best programming prof youll encounter

Excellent Prof! Cares a lot about students' comprehension. One of the Best!

Very good teacher compared to most in CS dept. Very helpful. Great Teacher.

If you do bad this professor...I suggest changing major. CS gets much harder

Can't complain about this guy. If you cant handle this class u are dumb or lazy

Great prof, allows a lot of questions and encourages them, makes class interesti

SCRIPPS OWNS YOU!

He is not an ordinary teacher. . . He is college student caught in a 30 body

Am a web programmer, class was easy, graded fairly, would recommend

Good prof, nice guy, can be confusing

good comp. sci. prof, nice guy

Probably the best 162 prof, very good at giving examples, but the first 3 weeks of the class are hard if you have little java background. Get Scripps if you want a good CS 162 prof.

Funny guy, fairly easy class if you spend the necessary time on the projects and labs. Some of the labs are more than the students can handle, make sure to ask questions in lab!

Scripps is the man. Nice guy, willing to help. The projects require alot of homework time, but as long as you put the effort in, you will get a good grade.

Scripps is hilarious. He teaches pretty well, but if you really want to learn, go to lab and chill with his lab assistant Micah, that kid is a genius (and a mad cutie too). Definitely go for Scripps if you have to take this class. He brings muffins!

Took the class for the second time with Scripps. Awesome professor. Go to office hours and ask questions, very helpful. Lots of time out of class with any prof for this course. Put in the time and get the help and you'll do well.

Loved him & class so much I lab assisted for him.Great guy & helpful as long as u try ur hardest.If u don't understand, utilize office hours.Prior knowledge helps,but not necessary.Class is demanding, not prof.Team of profs creates labs/proj, not him.

Good prof

Fine professor. Just keep up with the material. He won't always do it for you. Nice guy. He has a sense of humor and is usually pretty happy, but he's a total nerd and it's very obvious. Sometimes his jokes make no sense. At least he's trying...

Good guy, wants you to do well. This was my favorite class, mostly because of him. He's entertaining, and the class was pretty easy.

i thought he was a fine professor, but i might have been biased since i thought the class was easy. read the book and you'll be fine.

Written tests & final were all open book/open note, & the lab tests were based on the labs done for class. Overall, a very easy class. I looked forward to it as a break in my day. Finished the final in under 45 minutes. Nice guy; very helpful. Take notes, & pay attention, and you'll do fine.

Probably one of my fav profs. It was very easy. He was funny and laid back and really knows what he's talking about. Might be a lil challenging if you've never had any programming before, but he's willing to help. I found it to be an easy A and my other friends who had him agreed.

This was supposed to be the class that weeded out the CS students. He did an awesome job of teaching this subject with levity. He made it as easy to understand as it could have been. I seriously recommend him!

if u haven't had programming before, u should not be in this class. but if you've had previous experience, take this class with scripps. very helpful if u ask & he's not a tough grader at all. He will sometimes give u answers straight up. weekly quizzes/labs which aren't too bad. he can be a pretty funny/corny guy. take this class with him!

Awesome prof, made me WANT to go to class. Projects were simple and he was extremely clear about directions. Anyone that had trouble was either an idiot or lazy. That being said, there is a good amount of work to be done.

Awesome prof.

Scripps is the man.

I don't know why this guy doesn't have a yellow smiley face by his name. As someone else said... he is the man.

He is a great guy, extremely helpful, and actually makes class fun.

I had this course a while ago, He is a great guy but expect to work a a lot...I had a little bit of programming experience before and still had some difficulty. Now, 2 years later, I am good at Java I can see how this class could be a blast. I didn't really feel like I learned from him until the END of the semester though.

The class is hard....but I'm not rating the class I'm rating Scripps and HE IS THE MAN!

This class itself can be difficult especially if you have no prior experience in programming, but all around scripps is a excellent professor. He makes the class fun and he is really laid back.

The course itself is difficult. Starts off really easy, but by the end of it you're left confused (unless you already have a background in Visual Basic coding). Scripps was funny and nice, class was usually pretty entertaining. The only downside is that when you're in lab, he isn't that helpful. He just kinda shows you what to do.

Scripps is a great teacher. Some people new to coding might have trouble, but he's very available to help if you're having issues, as is the lab assistant and your classmates. Not too much textbook use, flipped classroom style was extremely helpful. Taking him next semester for 163.

Scripps is a bad ass dude. Take this thug for your classes because he's a great teacher. Scripps if life. Scripps is love. Scripps is all.

Scripps has a very unique style of teaching. You watch all of the lectures on YouTube before class as homework and then go over the topics in class. This method helps a lot, because you can code right along with him and can pause and rewind. Any questions can be addressed the next day in class as you go over examples. Very good professor.

I took Scripps for Comp Sci 162. He certainly knew what he was doing when it came to programming and he usually was able to get the information across. No real tests during the class other than midterm and final. He uses a flipped classroom so be sure to watch the videos before class. Good, not great teacher. Would take him again though.

Scripps is an all round good guy with a great desire to teach. He is very smart and is also quite funny as well. 162 is not a hard class but Scripps made it enjoyable and the subject matter very memorable

I took CIS 162 with Scripps, an introductory Java course. He spends the classroom time teaching you about Java with the white board and projector (using a code platform to show real code). He'll answer questions, make jokes, and use metaphors to real world things to help strengthen student understanding of new concepts. Can collaborate on projects.

Always helpful and answers any and all questions you may have, you just have to ask.

Dr Jerry Scripps presents in a very interesting and involving way. Adds humor to make sure youre not bored by his lectures. Knowledgeable in the subject area. Sincerely respects students and converts his helping and caring attitude . Open to students suggestions on content, methods

I really liked taking Professor Scripps. He kept lecture interesting and I could tell he had a genuine interest in his students and wanted them to do the best they possibly could. Final grades aren't out yet, but I got an A or A-. This class is pretty difficult content-wise, so make sure you're keeping up with things and you will be alright!
