he is one of the best

easy test need good menory. loves burrito good guy

The best teacher I have had at FAU so far, if you can take him, do it... you'll learn alot, and have fun in the class. And yes, he does love his burritos :)

One of the best professors at FAU, bar none.

He asks you tons of questions, if you don't know how to answer them in his terms, he calls it simple, then prepare for him to go insane, raise his voice and just think you are stupid. He thinks its a good teaching style. He grades easy, will ALWAYS be late to class and leave earily, and he'll say "do you think you got your monies worth?"

I've had him for 3 classes so far and he's great.He has a unique personality so u either like him or u hate him.Very lenient when it comes to grading but very concerned with whether students learn or not.Likes to joke around a lot and definitely knows his stuff.

Super nice teahcer. Very helpful, I have him for my guidance counselor as well. Always willing to help and funny guy in class. Treats students as equals and teachers verry effectively. Tests are almost exactly the same as assignments.

Good professor, good explanations in class.

Explains very well, Good personality.

He explains the very basic yet the projects are hard, once he has giving out the assignment he is constantly changing it.would not take him again.

The class is a lot of work, but he tries very hard to make us understand and get something useful from the course. and he is a nice person as well.

Great professor! He teaches you what you need to know to make it in the real world. He may give you lots of homework, but it is stuff you will need to know in order to make it in the real world of programming. Get to know him and he is a great resource!

C-C-C-Comboooo breakerrr!

Best professor in FAU. don't listen to the negative comments.

He is a great person and teacher, he cares about us and tries his best. i am honored by attending this class.

Very cool guy, very funny and humble. you will be happy in his class.

One of the best.

great guy. prepares you for the way it is in the field

He makes sure that we learn what we need for the job market. great person and teacher.

Cool teacher, cool guy. Out of the classroom, a nice, pleasant human being. Don't listen the bad comments. He's laid back but teaches well life after academia. I'd take another class with him, if I could, but now I moved to another state.

One of the best at Fau.

Dr. Bullard is an interesting professor, and almost worth it for the experience alone. He knows his subject and is very helpful in his office hours and in class. The assignment programs could be written with more clarity, but he will practically do them in class with you. He wants you to pass! Take notes and play with his examples; you'll do fine.

Laid back teacher and teaching style. Reads from slides, and gives stories/examples related to topic. Calls on students to participate. Surprisingly helpful in guidance, helped me a great deal. Easy to get along with and ask for help. However, learned more from book then his lectures. The class was easy. Read the chapters and you should pass fine.

Good Teacher, always late to class however. In the 3rd project that was due, maybe 4 days before the assignment was due, he sent an e-mail with a skeleton program (No comments however. He essentially gave everyone the project, I used his skeleton program. Would take again for another computer class.

Great Teacher, mostly clear on what he is saying. Projects get harder as you go on but gives a lot of help throughout the semester with skeleton codes. Hard not to pass this class.

I'm taking data structure with him this semester, and I must tell that he's better instructor than Tom. His assignments are not always clear, and sometimes he doesn't answer to your questions, but in general he DOES want you to LEARN!. I appreciate his style and respect his as a teacher, and I believe (and hope) that I will learn something!

very good professor.

Highly respect him, have taken several classes w/ him. Best CS professor at FAU.

3rd time I had Lofton, each time is fun. He does sometimes floats away inside of class, but he will teach you. He wants to see all his students pass and he is a caring person. Tests are fair, and so are the grades. Even once more or less gave a programming assignment solution away for everyone.

He is was a great help. Teach the subject and is very clear. Not an easy class since there is a lot of material to cover and assigment but also he will be always glad to help on assignments and drop a few hints to help. Great Professor and will take him again for Software Engineering

Bullard is an awesome professor. I normally have trouble focusing the entire 80 minutes with most professors. But he keeps the class interesting. For data structures, he normally drops the lowest HW and TEST grade. He is a very fair grader with his tests and sometimes gives you an opportunity to earn more points. He wants you to learn!

I personally found Dr. Bullard's class to be easy, but I came into class with previous experience. Bullard tries to get you to think critically and participate. He is very approachable and jokes around in class.

So this class is pretty much two tests, homeworks, and a huge team project. The project is ridiculously time consuming for the % that it is worth. The tests are pretty easy if you go to his review and learn everything he talked about. Homeworks are simple too and are worth 20-30%. I had fun moments in the class, the project was a bit stressful.

Awesome guy, great teacher.

Great professor, nice guy too. The tests are based on the assignments and he basically gives you the code for the assignments. Pretty easy class as long as you pay attention and think.

This professor wants you to learn & fight for your grade. But he also wants to help you! He is a very intelligent man. He might pick on you, so hopefully you have a sense of humor like me. He is very serious about teaching. So you need to be serious about busting your behind. Not an easy A but it can be if you're a good test taker.

I took this class last year but I still wanted to comment on it. He is one of the bet professors I have ever had. Because of him I found my passion in programming. His class was engaging, challenging,and most of all. fun/ His assignments were very manageable and always taught you so much. The tests were challenging yet fair. Take him!

I've taken Bullard for two courses and I wouldn't hesitate to take him in the future. Clearly passionate about his work and coding, and he doesn't want you to slack off. He wants you to get the grade with hard work and practice. If you have the same drive for coding, and you actually put in the effort, his classes will be a great experience.

What a great instructor! Dr. Bullard is easily one of the best professor I had. He goes the extra mile to help students understand, and also motivates them to succeed. The class is not a walk in the park, but if you work hard enough you'll do well. He also drops lowest assign. and exam. Would definitely take him for other CS classes!

Best teacher I have had at FAU. I wish he taught more classes. I heard it's hard to go from Fernandez to him, not true. Once you get the hang of t the first few weeks and you start working EARLY you will be set. I wish I could have him for more classes. I'm going to miss him :(!

Bullard is probably one of the best professors to take at FAU. Assignments are a little challenging if you're just learning to code. But be sure to make great use of office time and you will get a good grade. Give it your best shot and you can receive a good grade. No attendance after first week.

He is very good at answering questions on complicated subjects

Dr. Bullard was a very fair professor, dropped a lowest test grade, and gave very clear instructions/study material for the tests/finals. Basically if you did what he told you to do, it would be an easy A, as long as you put in some effort.

Bullard is the best professor I have ever had. He helps you a lot. He is very caring. His homework assignments are not hard. It is pretty much what he does in class and if you are able to do his homeworks, you will do good in his tests. Tests are challenging if you have no idea what you did in the homework. Take him and you wont regret.

Bullard was a great professor for this class, he really cares about his students and made sure we were on track for our projects.

AMAZING PROFESSOR. Very inspiring. Although his lectures in class can get boring, attend it, because he tells you important information in class. He still makes everything accessible online. Gives practice exams to make you used to the syntax of the language. He cares about his students and even when busy, tries his best to reply to emails.

Tests + final are worth 69% of overall grade. Lowest test score (or final) is dropped. Tests have a free answer section, where you have to type out the code to implement a given spec. MEMORIZE the test review sheets and you will do fine. Homework is simple, you get a skeleton program to start, so half of it is already done for you.

I took his class this past semester. The quizzes weren't bad (multiple choice). The program assignments were tricky. The exams were challenging but if you do go over your past assignments and practice exams, you will be fine. He drops the lowest of the 3 exams and the lowest program assignment.

Prof Bullard is a great professor. I would take him again. I learned a lot about C++.

Often, you'll hear "Well that's Bullard". He has a very interesting style of teaching and doing things. But, he is very nice and will work with you. He makes his courses easy to pass and understand. His tests are always worded strange but "that's just Bullard". Easy going guy, easy to pass his classes even though being a CS course.

Dr. Bullard gets a lot of flack for going too slow and not teaching enough, however I look at the material covered in his classes and it seems fine. He has a way of teaching that makes even difficult subjects seem trivial, so much that you may think it's too easy. Also, he is almost always available in his office. Homework is boring though, srsly.

Bullard is a nice guy. He gets a lot of flack for his teaching methods, some of which is deserved but you can do a lot worse than him. Emphasizes the basics but leaves it up to you to implement and advance your understanding of material - you can coast to an easy A/B if you like. Not the best but overall not a bad choice compared to some prof @FAU

Lectures vids are good, some needs to be updated. Taken this class in summer. One assignment per week Communication with email or phone call. Tests are decent. Study reviews and homework for exams. Drops one exam. Total course grade curved at the beginning of the course. Ex. 66 C- 76 C+.. Practice coding C++. Good class! Good luck everybody!!!!!

Although sometimes his online lectures are a bit hard to follow the material that this class presents is very very practical if you decide to go into Software Engineering. I am glad I took Data Structures with him because the material is taught through the context of practical application. In this class you actually implement. He is a fair grader!

I had Bullard before(online) and did not have a high opinion of him or his teaching going into this class. This class, while not "best ever", did not suck. Bullard actually taught and was engaging to the class. So maybe the trick is to take him in person, while you will learn bare minimum... it wont be miserable. I would consider taking again

Great teacher and a very straightforward class. He walks through basically everything you need to know in his lectures.

I think that Bullard is going to get a lot of hate mostly because his tests are caked up with errors. He allowed a retake of both tests to help improve grades. He is probably one of the most entertaining professors I've taken so far, assignments are easy and even easier to find online if you dont want to learn.
