Reviews of professor Charles Hoot

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
So many different concepts shoved into one course and expected to remember almost all of it. The professor himself is okay but the homework doesn't always cover things we've ever learned in class and always has errors. You will have to use another source to answer homework. The exams are the quizzes shoved together. Expect hours of homework usually

Hoot is very condescending and disrespectful whenever a student asks a question, and sometimes refuses to answer at all. He is not accessible at all outside of class. He has weekly 100+ point assignments that are tedious and takes multiple hours each. Attendance and participation are mandatory.

Took Hoot for Building Blocks of comp sci. Homework and quiz every week and 3 tests, extra credit on all of them. If you do the homework and pay attention in this class you can get a good grade. He does a pretty good job at teaching the concepts though he does ramble a bit. Really good guy, but it can be hard to get a hold of him.

Hoot does what he can with such a difficult topic to teach. He is the only current option for this course, but he does a good job teaching it. Put your laptop away, take notes, ask questions and attend the helpsessions and hopefully you will get a B. It's is not Hoot's fault that the material is hard, and he does his best to make it easier.
