Reviews of professor Barry Mesa

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Poor professor. Creates labs with specific instructions and is unwilling to answer questions with actual replies (linked an article I already read when asked) . Accepts late work for a week but only after docking 10 points down to five, even if the program functions perfectly. Quizzes are five points, five minutes. Easy to tank grade. Discouraging

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Labs can be frustrating due to set coding requirements. Quizzes are 5 questions, 5 Minutes. Extremely harsh grading plus low point total means mistakes are deadly to GPA. Coding is about making mistakes and learning from them but that will not apply in this class. Lectures are hard to follow.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Extremely difficult to learn how to code a new language, offers no support for his own requirements. Uses complicated applications for an introductory class, making the new concepts extremely hard to understand. If you have question about his dated lectures posted online, tells you your question was covered in the lecture even if it was not.
