Attendance isn't required but when a student needs help, he is not there for you he pretends to be. At first he would direct students to an 8 page syllabus that was super unorganized, all of the assignments on the program were also unorganized and he was extremely vague. I don't understand why he's a professor if he won't be available to students.
I disagree with the stated rating . Professor Peyour is very helpful , he will call you personally and explain everything in detail. I had him fro cs4000 and Assembly , wonderful lectures and he listens to your questions very carefully . If you do the work expected you will be fine , CS 4000 work all is due at the end of the semester get it done.
I took assembly 2700 with him , he is detailed , expects you to read before the class meeting. He is very knowledgeable with new computer technology and gives you what you need to focus on . Looking forward to take his class again .
Do not wait until the last minute to begin the assignments. You have the whole semester to complete the assignments, but it is best to split it up. If you have any questions (and you will), email him. He gets back to you in 24 hrs.
He is very helpful. Answer email within 24 hours. He will call on the phone to help you out. His syllabus and online assignments are unorganized. Had to email him to figure out which assignments are to be done. Person online portal for doing homework is frustrating. Filled with bugs and glitches! Great Professor Bad Online class implementation!
PERSONAL COMPUTING WAS ON LINE , TOO MANY ASSINGMENTS TO WORK ON , BUT DUABLE SINCE THERE IS NO DUE DATE AS LONG AS YOU FINISH BY THE END OF SEMSTER . Assignments will teach you a lot and he responds very quickly and even will call you if you ask .
Professor Sargon Peyour is the most AMAZING and Respectful professor I ever had! He cares about his students a lot. His lectures were great! He is always there for you when you need help. If I could I would take all my Computer Science courses with him. I really enjoyed being in his class. The BEST CS Teacher @ Stan ! ;)
Easiest class ever. There are no due dates. Work at your own pace. He cares a lot and will even call you. I learned a lot and it was stress free.
Took this class for GE Req . The class is on line , if you have a question he will respond to you quickly . Things can be a little confusing since this is an on line course , but after e mailing him , he was great at explaining things really well . He met with me on campus and explained the assignments i was confused with . Do you work and ask ?s.
CS 4000 fall of 2017 on line course . Great teacher , great feedback , instructions easy to follow , straight to the point . Just do the work as assigned .
Simply the best and most thorough detailed prof. You will learn a lot .
He realizes that many of his students have never coded before so he takes everything very slow and makes sure that everyone understands. You get 1 EC point every time you attend class and also when you answer questions correctly during lecture. About 2-3 HW problems per week, and he goes over them so there is no reason to not turn them in.
Responded to email within reasonable time. Very clear directions. You go at your own pace. Easy A.
Personally, I feel as though he is a great person in general. But an okay teacher, I am not sure if it's just my class. I like his teaching style but sometimes more like most the time he doesn't get through to you. So you're tasked with filling in the blanks. I like him as a teacher but we just didn't click.
Took this class in Fall 2017 on line , very easy ,clear,responds to your e mails quickly .Assignments are all due at the end of the semester work at your own pace . Very clear and to the point . A+ Professor !
Great personality and A++ knowledge including real life experience and plenty of advises on how to make your major study worth . Truly Awesome professor !
As it was an online class and all of the assignments were due at the end of the semester, it was hard to motivate myself to finish ahead of time. As long as you work on the assignments here and there you will be just fine. He constantly sends emails to remind you to keep working on the assignments.
The assembly language contents are pretty dry but he makes the lecture,course materials,and visual media aid very interesting course . He is really experienced and will provide you with knowledge you need to succeeded. I would take all his classes taught in computer science !
Awesome Professor . He is very accessible and will spend the time with you to guide you with academic goals . He cares about students and lectures are very interesting . Just read the book all exams are from the textbook nothing difficult .
I like the way he started presenting programming and principles of software engineering . He has everyone involved in lectures where you learn so much from his examples . Very good !
Awesome, caring , and very detailed . Responsive to all questions and will meet with you by appointment .
Took personal computing on line . All of his assignments are due at the end of the semester so don't wait for the last day . Assignments are straight forward if you are using your book you will get an A . He replies to your e mail very quickly and will help you to understand your assignments very simple .
Great Professor, and very helpful. Do your work and don't wait until the end of the semester. He gives you plenty time to finish the assignments.
Online class. Great professor, but online website sucks. Don't really know what to complete and didn't understand his replies. But he answers in a reasonable time. Everything do all at once, and assignments are long. Don't wait until last minute. Easy A class. Loved it! Assignments: Word, Excel, Access, Powerpoint
I love to way he presents the class material and programming details . He will take you through each step before every assignment. Awesome teacher !
Simply Awesome Prof !!!!
He spends the entire weekly 2 hour class telling us about how much we suck. I'd give him a lower rating but he really knows his stuff and is teaching us things that we really do need to know.
He presents the material in a very logical way related to current programming needs and professional standards . He shares with us how to become familiar with Java programming and that we need to read the book and practice . True some of us dont know how to program and he made that clear .
Everything is on line through Pearson myitlab , all assignments are due at the end of the semester , dont wait to the last minute . He will call you and explain any confusion you have about the assignment . I liked the class .
Easy class , read the syllabus and don't wait to do the assignments at the last minute . His assignments have no due dates as long as you can finish everything by the last day of the semester so don't wait . Easy A of you are willing to do the work.
Disagree with the previous comment about cs 2500 class . I took this class and enjoyed his lectures and he knows programming very well . if you are not prepared for this class do not take it unless you take cs 1500 to be prepared.
He does present programming in a different way easy to capture if you do your HW and read the book. I learned from this class and will take his future courses .
Very good teacher ! do your reading in textbook and practice programming before attending this class as he expects you to learn .
The material covered was a bit difficult to understand , a lot of computer electronic and circuit assembly diagrams , but he is really good in explaining ! He expects you to read the material before coming to the class , so be prepared .
He is detailed and he will teach you with up to date must know programming skills . He knows his stuff .
Since this is an online class you won't be seeing the Professor face to face. All your assignments are online and due at the end of the semester, but don't wait till the last second because the assignments are very time consuming. If you don't know what to do go to the tutoring center and they'll help you out. I was very confused at first!
He is really good . Since this class is on line , ask him to call you to explain all the required assignments as everything is very straight forward , but don't wait till the end .
If you have difficulty he will not help much. Not a good teacher in 2500 and if you have a doubt he will not clarify well. I got good marks in previous CS courses but this teacher does not explain programming too good. Friend of mine is worse off than me.
If you are lazy and not willing to read the assigned textbook for programming dont take his class . He expects you to read the material before every class meeting . His teaching approach is really good i liked his teaching style .
It was good class overall. But , you have to do your part and he will guide if you email him and ask questions. He is very knowledgeable .
Took his cs 1500 class , and it was straightforward and a good learning experience!
Was good all the way through !
Very easy and to the point. Just email him if you are not clear and he will call you back and explain everything Easy A
If you haven't had any programming background, take his class and he will teach programming in details. Great teacher !
Took his class online. He respond within 24hrs if you email him questions. Pearsons website for the class was filled with glitches and bugs because of this, completing assignments was frustrating! He understands this issue and curve the final grade to make up for it.
Easy class . Just do the work and you will get an A
Lectures and exams are correlated and he will give you everything you need to pass the class , learn , and get an A .I like the way he simplifies things.
Just complete the tasks given and you will be fine . Dont procrastinate. He is great and replies back to you with recommendations and helpful suggestions.
He makes programming easy and explains programming techniques in a simplistic way. Just read and ask questions.
You do have to do the work but easy and you will learn. I like it since everything is due at the end.
The Best
I like the way he present programming language and makes it very clear to understand. Assignments are correlated with his lectures in class and very detailed. You must practice programming if you are willing to go into computer science major .
He is really good in explaining the programming process step by step . Read what he tells you about and you will do fine . Make sure you are not absent.
explains things very well
Currently taking this class . He breaks down the concept of programming to a simplistic approach and you will learn because he will involve the class in discussion and hands on programming practice. However, you will need to do your part of reading and doing the HW.
He is a great teacher with real life skills and teaching experience.
You will learn in his class , and he teaches programming And problem solving in a real descriptive detailed way where you are learning and not confused . I like his classes .
I highly recommend his classes. Great communicator.
I enjoyed his class and knowledge. He is not your typical boring professors . He gets you involved and thinking . I hope he teaches more CS classes .
I am not a cs major but I did enjoy his lectures! He will get you involved and explains topics by asking why so you understand the concept and the logic of programming the way things work .
He is cool and simplifies computer science with examples . He is very good in getting you involved and he is not boring. I like his classes!
Overall, he is a bit aggressive. But in order to pass with an A, YOU MUST READ PPT & BOOK BEFORE THE LECTURE, he just briefly goes over slides, but he expects you to know the content beforehand. 3 exams, one was in class that he gave out 100% in, the other two were take home exams, there are a few HW assignments, he will help via email, just ask
If you are lazy I suggest you dont take his class . If you do the work as you should and If you are a cs major I suggest you read . Great professor!!! I love his lectures.
He is great! Just do the work and dont procrastinate. He will teach you how to program the right way . The best professor ever !!
Learned a lot. He will expect you to do your work so you can learn . He has a lot of knowledge and real life work examples related to the programming principles. He is great.
Excellent lectures, gives you time to complete your assignments but dont wait till the last minute . He is very good !
super professor. If you ask a question he will try his best in answering your question and if you still do not understand it, he will keep on trying and showing you different methods in solving a problem. After he answers your question he always asks you "does that answer you question?". Definitely recommend him as a professor!!
He is a people person and he will help you if you try doing your work and he really cares about his students very much !! I like taking more classes with him

Wonderful personality and outstanding Professor!!!!
He is by far the best programming and computer science professor I have attended classes with at CSUSTAN!!!! I just wish he teaches more course .
The class is just to complete all of the Office simulations on the Pearson site. Don't worry about if the website can be glitchy and you might not always get the grades you want on exercises, he will improve your grade at the end as long as he sees you trying and asking questions. I finished with B but went up to A because of doing all assignments
Professor Peyour is a very caring , professional, and knowledgeable professor! He presents the programming conceptually and logically for you to learn and enjoy the class. By far the BEST at CSUSTAN !

Follow his instructions, do your work assigned, pay attention , and you will enjoy his class . He is by far the best!
Outstanding course and professor!
Interesting approach when presenting a complex programming language such as Java as he makes it understandable and class participation when answering questions . Great professor!
Learned a lot from his presentations and lectures. Provides good examples for each programming concept. Exams and assignments are similar to those in lectures.
I had him for a 2h40 min lecture once a week and it was a bit tiring. He usually lectured all the time going through the PP that he sends out on Outlook which can be a drag, but he knows his stuff. HW is easy and there are sometimes projects he has us do. The exams are based on PP and study guides he provides so study those well. Would take again.
Outstanding professor!
Cares about his students, homework is very simple recommend taking his classes
I enjoyed his course and the way he presented programming principles. Very helpful!
For those non computer science students, he illustrates the topics in a very understanding simplistic approach! Love and recommend his teaching and taking his class. Fantastic overall.
Clear lectures, cares about students success, and incredible approach to programming teaching fundamentals! Would highly recommend.
Programming is not for everyone. However, I Alcan affirm that he makes programming becomes an interesting subject for some of us non computer science seekers! Fantastic by all means.
Suppose you are not a programming major student and want this class as a general education class. In that case, I highly recommend taking this course as he explains the concepts fairly clearly and concisely! This is a straightforward course, he is by far the BEST professor at CSUSTAN !
I agree, if you are taking this course as a general elective, the course layout is direct, clear, and simplified, with study guides before exams similar to the exam contents. I highly recommend it!
Excellent experience to programming principles where I enjoyed his experience and his way of introducing programming to most of us non programming spectators!
Prof. Peyour is one of the most respectful and caring professors I have ever had. I sustained an injury during the semester and he let me take an exam the next week. His class is very lecture heavy and can get boring, but lab days are fun and he is always accessible by email for help, and the help he gives is always amazing and easy to understand.
The best CS1500 class and course ! I highly recommend taking all his classes .
Interesting, programming simplified , fun group project and the exam study guides .
Fantastic professor, easy to follow lectures, a great class for those non computer science major as he makes it simplified for non computer programming majors . I would re take for sure .
Great programming elective course for programmers and non programmers! He sets the lectures and projects accordingly to simplify the topics for all students.
Great class!
Professor Peyour's programming teaching techniques, explanations, and lectures are wonderful and easy to follow. Exam study guides and post-exam preparations are great tools, and you will pass with an A if you're willing to do the work. His courses are highly recommended for non-programming students and computer science majors without any doubts.
He cares about his students and respects and assists you right away when you are in need any help with course materials to simplify any complex lecture materials.
If you need this class for a general requirement and are not a computer science major, this class is easy to pass when working with group-based assignments and homework. He simplifies the course to a level of understanding and clear to follow! I would take this course.
Excellent professor and very good experience of learning a general programming elective.
Programming is not for everyone; however, this outstanding professor made the class interactable, project groups, and broke down the lectures to be easy to follow. Your interactive will learn and enjoy his class!
Great professor and wonderful class!
This professor makes programming accessible, even for non-majors. With interactive lectures, group projects, and clear explanations, the class is manageable. Unstuck study was a great study tool alongside the free textbook. Definitely recommend this course.
I am enjoying this class!
Class is taught with a student engagement and participation approach, which makes it fun and easy for students to participate and learn! His approach to teaching programming is a very unique one and promotes a great learning experience!
The BEST EVER computer science and software processor ever!
I'm not sure why he has such high rates. I have issues with this professor. He usually repeats the slide for 3 hours, and then if we don't understand, he just tells us that "you didn't read the textbook" every week. I appreciate his flexibility, but I wouldn't take another class from him. He also doesn't use Canvas, only email.
Awesome class and outstanding professor!
This is the programing class i do enjoy and learned a lot! He goes 9ver the material piece by piece and he will ensure you got it . Detailed study guide, pre exam notes and gives over sample exam questions, and he will make sure you're in a ready status before the exam!
I totally agree with the remaining of the comments as he is very detailed, cares about students, delivers what you need for the exam . The only programming course i really enjoyed!
Great professor = wonderful learning !!!!
Professor Sargon is an excellent teacher who uses a step-by-step approach, providing hands-on experience with programming. He emphasizes understanding concepts rather than relying on trial and error. My experience in this class was wonderful! I learned a lot, as he incorporates real-world experiences into the curriculum.
As a non-computer science major student, I really enjoyed his teaching style where you can learn the logic and be successful i the class. His lectures were clear and explanatory detailed. Exam study guides made things a lot clearer. Overall, excellent!
Wonderful professor and great learning experience!!!!! Highly recommend.
Simply awesome professor!

Programming is not for everyone; however Professor Peyour has a way of getting everyone in class to participate and learn by the show and tell philosophy! I have learned a lot in his class .
I am not a computer science major but I did enjoy the way he presents the topic! He will make sure the exam review questions are aligned with the upcoming exams . He prepares students to be successful and enjoy the class . Very supportive and helps you when you ask questions!
Finally Programing explained and simplified for an average non CS students! I highly recommend his class . The Best!
Professor Peyour is a caring person and support atudenst who wants to succeed. He empowers you to learn and move on . He explains the programming concepts understand let him know he will go over it again . I am an English major but he worked with me to understand some of the concepts that I had difficulty in . I wish he is teaching more courses !
Very caring about his students , understanding, works with students to ensure you're doing good. Also, the topic is a bit complicated because it is computer science , but if you do your part , yhe lectures and exams practice review questions are very helpful. Great!

Introduction to Java programming language made easy to understand! I never knew what programming using a cide was but professor Peyour explained the concept so well where I am considering changing my major to CS! Awesome professor!
Excellent course, great topics, straightforward instructions. If you attend and review the slides, you will do very well on the exam reviews.
I enjoyed and learned a lot from this course; it is designed for computer science and non-CS students. Professor Peyour enables students to succeed.
The programming is explained so well that you will understand the concepts, thanks to the clear, well-organized lecture presentations. Exam review questions, supplemental questions, and answers are similar to exam questions. If you do the work, you can earn your A. Highly recommended professor!
Straightforward course, even if you are not a computer science major. The night class is well organized and set up to be detailed and easy to follow, with hands-on experience and group work, collaborative learning, and group quizzes. Took the course and enjoyed the learning experience!
Great professor + excellent learning experience. Love the night class, exam preview, professor assists, and answers all questions.

Loved the learning experience!
Fun class learning how to code and it is true it is simplified to suits thise non computer science majors . Loved!
This is introduction to Java programming and It was a great class learning by working in groups and projects . He summarized the topics and exam reviews to the point . is what you will see on the midterms . Even though I was not a computer science major I had fun learning programming and considering minoring in CS.

Outstanding professor + Excellent class learning!
Had a great learning experience with Professor Peyour! Highly recommended professor, wish he taught more classes.
Though coding can be difficult to understand at times, the professor made it his goal to have us succeed in this class. Course consisted of about 6 chapters. Homework after every chapter, which is coding. Midterms were made easy and straightforward. HIGHLY recommend him, he is very thoughtful and caring for his students !
