Reviews of professor Robert Harvey

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Mediocre at best. Good at software but bad at teaching. I really dont know what else I could say.

Professor Harvey is great at coding. To actually learn the material you must pay attention to his coding examples and labs. He helps on labs that you struggle on. Make sure you study for the quizzes as well.

He's a pretty good professor. He can only show you how to program, everything else is pretty much up to the student. He teaches a lot of things about the industry and offers lots of extra reading that can give good insight to the field. I'd take him if computer science is what you want to do with your life.

Very test heavy, more than half the class asked for a word box to help during tests or something. Went off on how he would do it and providing no compromise what so ever, would not take this class again.

This teacher is somewhat decent, but the quizzes he gives doesn't make sense half the time, so I wouldn't really recommend him at all. He'll give you a quiz with 20 question and 10 minutes to do. If you don't have your notes or anything you will more likely fail. 90% of the Quizzes are Fill in the blank.

He does not help with the labs or challenges just very horrible

The grading criteria and expectations are pretty clear. The quizzes are to be expected every week. This is his part-time job and he definitely shows it. Ask for help on the labs in class and he won't do exactly what the book asks him to (it's an online book with assignments attached). Reused PP from Java class and would say they are similar code.

Expect to teach yourself 90% of the class. The homework and quizzes are a lot more in depth than what is given in lecture, and you will struggle constantly unless you are already pretty knowledgeable in programming. Was responsive to emails at first but then seemed to give up in responding towards the end of the semester when he was needed most.
