Reviews of professor Bradford Towle

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Constantly promised quizzes being next class, but there wouldn't be, and it'd be a random day. During lectures, he seems to not test his code prior to lecture, and constantly debugs his code through the lecture, wasting time. He was late to class about 5 minutes almost every single day and frequently ran lecture over time by about 5 minutes or so.

I was very disappointed with this prof. He does not understand the material very well, makes us read chapters and quizzes them without much consideration for the questions. Random non-networking related projects. He is helpful outside of class. The other section had it best, since they actually got taught the material.

Dr. Towle is a good professor. Yeah, he comes late to class sometimes, he forgets and throws out quizzes when it wasn't clearly told to the whole class. As a professor, he teaches greatly and cares that you understand the material. He is very easygoing and helps when needed. The projects aren't bad except for a few. quizzes and exams are on Canvas.

I'm sure Towle is good for graphics and game 1 and 2, but he turned Advanced Topics into a needlessly difficult class. Our FIRST JavaFX assignment was to make a "quest-simulator" game. We also wasted so much time on JavaFX that could've been spent on threading. His lectures are great, but I can't recommend him for A.T. unless you really love Java.
