Great prof. Its really a hybrid class since he's a traveling prof in MX. He records all his lectures and posts them along with powerpoint slides. Tests are hard enough to make you think. He streams all lectures through webEx so you can sign in wherever.

Extremely sharp, well prepared, extensive experience in the industry.

Professor Long is a great professor. He posts his lectures online. He has good industry experience as well. I would take him again.

Dr. Long is a gem among an ensemble of generally underwhelming compsci professors at UH (with a few exceptions, of course). He loves teaching and it shows. He makes a real effort to effectively communicate ideas. Always addresses students' questions and concerns. Hw's are challenging, but exams are doable--he will ensure you're prepared for them.

Nice professor.

Kind & understanding professor. His TA's were the complete opposite. Labs were automatically failed if you missed ONE line of code. Professor Long also has no connection to the labs, seeing as he lets a TA run them, so his lectures and labs will never be correlated to the same topic/material. Overall pretty easy course, just hope you get a good TA.

He is the most inspirational and caring professors that I have ever had in my whole life. I genuinely learned from him and if you go to him for help, he'll make sure that you understand the material. He's really laid back and gives a bunch of extra credit. As long as you show up, study his reviews, and do the homework, then you'll get an A.

Professor Long was a very intelligent approachable man. He posted his lectures on Vimeo, and made it possible to view his lectures realtime via Cisco's webex. The information in 2440 is curriculum that can be put on a resume, ARM. This class was fast paced and packed with useful info. Also there was a respectable curve. Enjoy.

Professor Long is by far my favorite professor at UH. Although his class was challenging, he was easily the most approachable and flexible professor I've ever had. The concepts were in depth and his exams are hard but he gives great curves and is very straight forward. He will never try to trick you on exams and will give you ample resources & time

Kevin Long is one the best professor at UH CS .Take him, you'll learn lot of stuffs

The best professor I've had at UH. He gives you the real sense that you're learning things that are actually going to be useful in the real world. He even at certain points would say, "You will never see this in a real setting but the school says we have to teach it so just keep it in mind for the exam." If you are a Comp Sci major, he is a must.

By far the most interesting COSC course I have taken in my life, probably because of the professor.

Just take him you will not regret it. easy "A" easy grader, cares about you gives a lot of useful real life

Take this professor if you have the chance! He cares about the student's success & is happy to answer questions and workout sample problems for you. He's a very reasonable grader, and gives a lot of partial credit on tests, as well as let's you bring a front & back cheat sheet for the tests. I knew nothing about computer architecture B4 taking him

The homeworks are challenging, you gotta apply what you learned. He takes the tests a step up which I didn't expect from the midterm. Getting an A requires some effort. Very caring and wants us to understand the material. Be warned however: he is disorganized, and getting a reply from him requires at least 5 business days.

Kevin B Long is one of the best professors I've had at UH. If you don't understand anything he will be on hand to help you out. Prime example was going out of his way to create a half an hour video to explain a homework question for the whole class. He's a great professor so I'd recommend him if you want to get a good grade for this class.

This man is what every Computer Science professor should aspire to be. He gives fantastic lectures, and is personally my favorite CompSci professor in all of UH. Homework and exams are very fair and very manageable, but require a little effort on your end. I've taken him for Computer Architecture and Networks, and he's amazing for both.

Without a doubt the best professor in the entire CS department. The one downside to his teaching is that he travels a lot, but that's OK because he records his lectures and posts them for you to comeback to later. He gives long HWs that are very good reviews for the exams. Overall it's a easy to mild course where you end up learning a lot.

Easily one of the best professors at UH

Easily one of the best professors at UH. Lectures and homework/assignments, albeit sometimes dense, do well to prepare you for tests. A caring professor that makes sure that you do well in this course. Manageable A if you put the work in.

All of his classes are livestreamed so attendance isn't mandatory; he also passes out his phone number and is readily available to help students at almost any time. He's a good teacher and very clear, however his tests are lengthy and fairly difficult.

Though and long tests (although he will give you exactly what is going to be in the exam) , hw are long and tough but there are same as test. Labs are easy. Anyway if you fail in the exams. You will get an A in the course eventually. The curve is the biggest curve in all of the curves in the world. Easy A class. And he is very nice person too!

I challenge you to find a better prof.

Professor Long in easily one of the best computer science professors at UH. He cares about the success of his students ; he is easy to contact outside of class and responds quickly to answer questions. He uses technology in such a way that benefits the students most i.e posting lectures, homework, notes, additional help all online!

Easy A and useful class. awesome professor

One of the most ideal and hard-working professor Ive ever had. The material is hard and dry, but he managed to make it more approachable with his chill manner. He is very welcome to text and talk, and his background is very strong that he has answers to any question about computer. If you do all the hws, labs, he will give you big curve.

He is the best professor I ever had at UH! He loves his students and he wants you guys to succeed! Even though he goes to Mexico every week, he is still my favorite COSC professor. He gives you an A and a great curve as long as you put some effort and show that you try. I wish he teaches COSC 2430 which that will be amazing!

Man i love this guy. One of the chillest and cool professor in the entire university. Go ahead and take him for any class that he teaches.

You will not regret taking this class, i guarantee it.

There are not many more professors that care more than Professor Long. He is an amazing professor and knows his stuff. The class might be a bit difficult to follow, but he does his absolute best. One of, if not the best professor in the UH CS department.

One of the best CS professors at UH. The class itself can be a bit difficult because it goes over topic you've probably never even though about before. However, Dr. Long truely cares for the stuents, providing extra credit and personally looks over quizzes and tests. Amazing professor overall.

He is the best Comp Science Professor I have ever taken!! I had to repeat this class, but with his help I was able to understand the concepts clearly. He gives extra credit if he sees the class struggling. If you listen to the lectures and do the assignments theres no way to fail his class.

He is a solid choice for 2440. The class goes over a lot of topic, so you need to stay ahead. Make sure to buy Zybooks. Its graded and easy 100. Just do your best on all your assignments/exams. He really cares about his students.

Professor Long is very compassionate and is very kind and is pretty hilarious. You won't regret taking his course!

The topics themselves are a bit difficult but his lectures are clear and entertaining. Although the exams are a bit heavy, he gives out reviews to help you prepare and he gives a lot of extra credit. Do all the homework and zybooks and you'll definitely get a high grade.

This class is the breather you need. I took it with COSC 2436 and MATH 3336, two heavy load classes. DO YOUR ZYBOOKS (ZB)! Your homework and exams are based on ZB! Homework takes about 15 minutes if you work on it, and he marks the sections you need to turn to solve a problem. Homework is 45% of your grade, labs 15%, and two exams 40%.

When I took the class, he was so disorganized to the point that we did not get our midterm til the week of finals. I would still recommend taking his class tho because he is very caring and lenient to his students. My advice is to try to keep up with the lectures, and you will be fine. I recommend this elective to anybody who needs it.

I only attend this class one time and still get A, class is disorganized but easy A

Professor Long is caring, kinda funny, and a good lecturer, but disorganized and very busy with his day job at Cisco, which means long waits on homeworks being released, grades being completed and returned, and errors on exams that need to be fixed mid-exam. Everything was drop-dead easy, this class is your breather between more difficult classes.

Class was a little disorganized but everything was accessible via teams and zybooks. Grading on exams and assignments was pretty lenient, as the content of this course is pretty difficult. Homeworks were a bit tedious. Long is an understanding guy though, and as long as you stay on top of your work and turn everything in on time, you should be fine

Dr. Long is great. He has good in-class lectures, talks about stuff from the field he works in, and his homework and exams are pretty easy, provided you know the material. That said, this class does use a mandatory online textbook with assignments, so be prepared to do those. Basically, if you have a chance to take Long, take Long.

Goat teacher hes amazing and super cool and interesting. 2425 is so hard though and hard to follow along so do zybooks early so you can go to class understanding the concepts.

The best Computer Science professor I have had.

Rare professor for sure. You'll notice a lot of people will complain about his returning of the grades but in reality the class is so chill unless your incompetent and slack off its a guaranteed A. I'm a double major and this class was very doable! I recommended to anyone. Just find some people and have fun. That being said, long is a W.
