ilan is the man! he's a v. down-to-earth guy, extremely helpful in his office hours.

He's a really nice guy and is very clear in lecture. Class is run off powerpoint slides which he puts online, so you can get away with missing a few classes (however he runs through examples and logic in class, so it IS beneficial to go). Tests aren't too diffcult - he tests to see if you know the material - doesn't try and trick you. Easy class

I go to class on principle, but you could probably do as well off his powerpoint notes; he basically reads them aloud and runs an example program in lecture. His expectations seemed very reasonable to me, and his grading fair. Don't skiv off homework--you need them to understand tests ( which are hard enough as it is) and for the points.

a decent teacher if you've had prior programming experience or interest in the subject, but otherwise, he probably wouldn't be very helpful or interesting.

His test are killer! The hw can be a bit much but if you go to his office hours you should be ok. In lecture he does put a lot of effort to try and make things clear. If you're taking this class you're an engineering mayor, so if you're having trouble get tutoring through the college of engineering (talk to Yvonne Freeman).

It was a course on programming with C and Mathlab. He used Powerpoint to demostrate a lot of sample programs, and ran through the logic in class. Programming homework made up a very large portion of the grade. This is good. Even your exam was not very good, the homework could help you a lot. The exams were not hard, but think about logic carefully.

Maybe not the best in terms of teaching skills, but he is certainly nice and approachable. Exams are easy, and he graded pretty easily too. No reason to give 1 in any of the ratings.

Super clear, nice, helpful. If you go to class, you will learn the material easily. Can get a little boring, some homework and tests are tedious.
