Great teacher, knows what he's doing and teaching. Missing couple of classes can set you back a lot. If you do the work you will be fine.

Professor Mcmillen is a very understanding teacher. Most tests were exactly like the study guide. I would recommend being familiar with C if taking CIS20. I didn't know any and was still able to get through the class but you still have to put in the work. He is very knowledgable in computer science, helpful and available at all hours via stack.

He answers questions & helps you fix your error during his time off. He knows how to bridge that gap between Univ & college. You wont be lost in the University when you transfer with his provided materials. Moreover, his lectures passed midterm helped me choose my upper division CS classes & electives. I wish if he was there for CIS 25 & 27. Great

Very good CS teacher. Always helped those that needed help, and was very caring. 10/10 would take again. My only gripe would be that the class was only 3 days a week, but that isn't really his fault.

Very helpful professors, He set a high expectation for what is going on during the course. Even though it was my first time learning Java, the professor really care about his students when trying to explain everything .

A real teacher, willing to help you within and outside of class, committed to see you succeed.
