Very lazy professor who doesn't actually want to help students. Talks alot.

This guys is gross. The name says it all. Take at your own risk.

First day of class professor says, "I'm not here to teach you anything...I'm here to teach you how to learn..." Well I say give me the tuition I paid to take this class back because I already know how to learn. Picky questions on his tests. corny jokes.

Read "The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy" before taking this professor..

this is the worst profes. in the universe. Take another section if you can he is totally unfair, and very very very not funny

He is EXTREMELY unclear. Makes TERRIBLE jokes. When he asks a question(that hes teaching) he expects you to read his mind and wont give the answer till somone randomly guesses it(could take 10-20 minutes). You will learn NOTHING from his lectures. You wind up reading book and using google more than his lectures. If I can stop one person, Im happy!

He is horrible. he redicules the book but all his exams are from the book. he won't tell you whats on his exams but the exams are 90% of the grade. he is abnormal. i know he is passionate about his work but he still can't teach.

very roude

very idiot professor. Makes jokes that are stupid. You do not learn anything from his lecture. Always cusing the book but gives all the exams from books. Never gives reviews before exams. He wants you to answer the questions exactly the way he wants. if you take this professor, you will do the biggest mistake of your life and cry whole semeste

Just like his last name absolutely grose. Biggest mistake on earth to take this guy. You will waste your hard-earned dollars. He is not in command of the material he teaches. He has no methodology and is very unfair at grading exams. Makes jokes and comments on people without any respect at all. I din't learn anything other than never again.

dont take this professor, he seriously needs help...and you will too if you take him, hes rude, annoying, soo not funny, and doesnt teach well at all

He is a horrible professor. He does not teach, he just rambles on about nothing and expects for people to pass the class. DO NOT take him

this guy is really gross.dont take him.. he is jackass trying to be funny wit idiotic jokes and makes students suffer.forget about it..

I agree with all what bad has been said about him.NO positive things I can say about this guy.

idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i had to drop the class, i could understand what he was talking about.

This guy is really in his own planet...all he kept talking about is how the gov't fairly imprisons people...he would assign hw, which had nothing to do with what he was talkin about...don't get the textbook, he doesn't use it..this dude is strange..if you catch him outside he looks like some dude who plans on assasinating the president...

This guy is the absolute worst professor I have ever had, including grade school. I learned more in kindergarten than this fool was able to teach me. He seems to smell like a chimney from all the smoking he does, I am positive he smokes weed, cause a normal person cant be that retarded. I would rather kill myself than take a class with him again!

Good luck if you take him....

Doesn't really do much. Talk in class for the first 30mins or so and then you can use the internet to do anything you want. Make stupid jokes that aren't funny but then looks at you so laugh to make him happy. Don't waste time taking this prof. You wont learn anything that.

Don't take him! You will drop in the end if you take his class.

OMG. What can I say? The absolute worst professor. It is one thing knowing the subject and another teaching it. Extremely discouraging none of the programs he put on the board worked!!! Not once got near a computer to show that they worked. I was completely lost throughout the course. He knows his stuff but teaching is not his field

Please stay away from this professor. He is not student friendly. He has a temper and has no patience with people who do not learn the material quickly. I almost filed charges against this guy. PLEASE DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS PROFESSOR!!!!!!!!!!!

Please stay away. He talks about the most random things in class. he does not explain the course material. you have to do everything your self. It feel more like a philosophy class at times. If you want to learn or pass don't take him.

Worst Professor in Brooklyn College!!

Worst part about this class is that afterwards, I feel like I am not prepared. That I really just worked hard in this class for the grade, not to improve my abilities. I don't feel like I actually gained anything out of this class that is useful. But the course/topic is very important in general. I need to learn this course from online sources now.

There is nothing to be gained from this professor. His teaching practices are purely dogmatic.

One of the worst professors in the CISC department. There is no structure to the class and he usually rambles about how things were in the 70's and 80's. The answers to his tests change weekly. How you do on them is irrelevant as long as you get on his good side. And hope you don't end up being in backbone.

Exam questions are completely random. The answers he gives change every time you ask. Doesn't actually teach the contents of the course description for some reason.

This class is a literal joke. Lectures are pointless to listen to, he rants for hours, makes us do a group project that at the end of semester becomes completely irrelevant because he didn't care about the end product, just the process. His grading is random, he changes his mind on answers all the time. Just finish the class and forget it existed

Discouraging professor. Doesn't teach the actual course. NO office hours or class website. Gives history lectures on early computers from the mid-late 1900s. 60% of the final will not be discussed in class. He changes test answers and makes different tests for the morning and evening class. Networking wont give you a 100. Group project is a joke.

The man a joke, he rambles about computer history rather than computer applications. His exams although are "simple" (old exam answers wrong to him) his answers constantly change, or even if your answer is "right", if it's not what HE WANTS its wrong. He even admitted to our class that all the stuff he taught wasn't relevant... AVOID

The professor is a joke, network with other students to pass his course, his answers for his exam constantly change. I can teach that course better than him. How is it College like Brooklyn don't have decent professors to teach the course. Makes you do a project but doesn't grade it at the end.

This man rambles incessantly. Grades exams randomly. No curriculum, no slides, hasn't taught anything and expects you learn on your own. No joke, you will learn more and save your self esteem by not taking his class.

Never take his class Hates blackboard and Github so you will never use them. You need to teach yourself SVN Server management, Scheme, and JavaScript as he will give homework on it but never teach it. You will be given 1 large group project to do where your group consists of half the class. Rambles on about nonsense from the 1900s and test u on it

Literally the worst professor I've taken. Gives 0 help outside class. He teaches like the world is stuck in the 80's technology wise. His tests are questions that he bases off of what he says in lectures but he's so vague and words it so unnecesarily hard that the answer isn't clear and sometimes what he says in class isn't even right on the test.

The course is graded on HWs, group project, 1-2 exams, and a final. The professor didn't teach anything of value. For the project, the class is split into 2; you recreate a famous game, just hope to not be on backbone. The course isn't scaled in any way. His grading format isn't known and the professor gives out random grades. Most people got a C.

Web development requires html, CSS and Js, and even knowing how to make a website. He doesn't teach any of this and instead teaches scheme. I need this class to learn more about the web, but this professor wasted my time and energy by teaching little of something I do not even need to know. Drop this professor NOW. Its not worth even getting an A.

For a course that's meant to teach web development (HTML, CSS, JS, etc.) this professor does no such thing. Instead, he rambles on about his dislike of Windows and love for 80s technology. Dropped after the second "lecture." Brooklyn College needs to hire new & better professors for their CS department.

Horrible

Doesnt teach any relevant material. Avoid him at all costs.

skip a semester, and register for that class with a different professor. I thought since I have a high GPA(3.9) and I am smart, I will pass if I worked hard. no matter how much u try. this guy can not be studied for. he would fail his own exam. just take a different class. register for 3140 with anyone but him. or prepare to pay a heavy price

Do not take he doesn't teach anything relevant to what is need to be learned. He teaches how he wants to teach not based on any format or textbook. His exam are terrible, you need to know word for word what he says during his lectures. Feel scammed, I paid for a class that was supposed to be Web Applications and got nothing close to that experience

If you read this review it will give you everything you need to know about the prof and hopefully will help you decide if you wanna take him. If you just wanna pass, take this prof. You prob will get a C or B. If you wanna learn, do not take him because he does not teach. He just talks and talks. If you are have 4 gpa, do not take him.

If you walk into this class expecting to learn modern web dev, this is not it. If you must take this class, the prof doesn't use BB, the class board, or the projector. Take notes or use a voice recorder. His exams are based word for word on his 3 hour rambles on old outdated technologies. Avoid or suck it up for 15 weeks, not a fun class or prof.

Pathetic. He tampered his own reviews by creating multiple accounts and giving himself good reviews. He is a liar and did not follow the course material and talked a lot of his life as a failure in his computer science life and test us on them when the course was about web development. Also he insults the students for mistakes he made. Fire him.

We didn't learn a single thing that was listed on the CISC3140 class description.His classes are either rambles about his past experience working at some companies or his hate for certain languages.We did get to learn about subversion which was the only useful thing.His exams are hard to pass, depends on whether you answered exactly how he wanted.

350 character limit on RateMyProfessor is far too few to adequately explain what a fraud this man is. He neglects his duties as a professor and is not qualified to teach this subject. The department refuses to do anything about him despite pleading from students. Please Read: pastebin .com/MEf2kCK7

Fraud, complains, can't teach. Web dev class with no actual lesson being taught. Ziegler and him would make a good team.

Can't teach, doesn't teach. Bullies students. Should have retired years ago

Gross needs to retire.This is a course on web development but nothing of that nature is ever taught.The professor teaches what he wants and when you dont understand what he says, he throws a fit and rambles on for the rest of class.His blackboard and email are nonexistent and his remarks are always passive aggressive. Take this class in the summer

The worst professor I have ever had. The material he teaches is little in quantity and relevance, and does not at all match the class description. He is hardly available outside of class and doesn't use any online materials despite him teaching a web application class. Highly recommended to avoid or drop any class he's teaching.

The worst professor I've ever had. Goes far away from the class themes. Asks questions, when u answer says wrong says the same thing as answer. Doesn't like his students, doesn't use blackboard, homework on paper, coding on paper, everything on paper. His appearance is awful, talks behind your back when u leave class for any reason.

Not recommend at all!

This was the worse class I ever took.All he would do is yap about a certain topic completely different from the class description and would expect you to remember that for the midterms.85% of the class failed the midterm and pretty sure 90% failed the final.He had to curve a crazy amount in order to save his reputation.Don't take his class.

Never ever take this professor he is there to lower your GPA nothing else the respected old man is already living overtime and shouting on students and giving worst grades he could, I cant express here how much bad i am feeling in me for taking his course and doing hardwork and still getting low grades, i check answers Online are actually correct.

If you don' t care about your GPA, Take this professor, does'nt matter how hard you study you will get grades according to his mood while checking your exam, One tip if you fail this course dont worry you will definately be on better wages than this dumb head.

You won't learn anything in his class. No resources, or textbook to refer to, doesn't answer Emails. Studied hard but still ruined my GPA. The worst professor in Brooklyn College. He should have retired a long ago.
