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.

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.

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 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.

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.
