His lectured consisted of him bragging of the places he has been, conferences he has taken part in and the technology he owns. The material in class was hardly on the midterm and were impossible. Not a single person got an A. The group projects were tough as nails and required a LOT of work for barely a decent grade. Absolutely would not recommend.

Lyle is a very demanding professor. He wants students to read the book, watch "prep videos" then go to an 1hr 15 min lecture which is excessive. The group projects are difficult as he is not very open when grading them and wants it done in his particular way. Good lectures but a lot of work. Midterm/Final are also difficult. I do not recommend.

He responds to emails very quickly and sits down to review your Mid-Term and Final individually. This course however is lecture heavy even online

I had taken his 2210 class last semester, and it was the worst experience of my university career. The intensive slideshows and heavily weighted exams were doable, but his rating style is the most intense I have ever seen. Truly, I believe him to be an academic darwinist, seeing himself as godly. If you can avoid him, please do.

Lyle clearly knows his material well, so his classes are informative. But he will fail you. He is prideful and has a massive ego. His grading matrix is flawed because if you miss one thing out of 5 you'll only get 1 or 0 points even if you got the rest right.
