Reviews of professor Rick Joyce

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
A boring example of a teacher. Furthermore, he is extremely smart, however, when he starts teaching, he overteaches, so, most material that you learn is absolutely useless for the class itself. He grades pretty well, but be ready to Google all the answers to the coding assignments.

I had Professor Joyce for ITEC345 and 445. I found his lectures fascinating and engaging. Joyce always uses real world examples of security and is very current with everything in the security space. His tests were very difficult but he always had a review day before the test which was helpful. Joyce is very smart and knows what hes talking about.

Professor Joyce is a great professor. As long as you show up, ask questions, and pay attention in the lectures you will pass this class. The assignments are easy 100s and are worth 50 percent of the final grade. He also adds 10 percent to everyone's final grade at the end making this average level class easy. Love this guy!

For a ITEC class for an hour and a half at 8 in the morning, it wasn't actually that bad. Professor Joyce is extremely smart, a former employee of Bell Labs, and his knowledge definitely shows in class. He tends to lecture off into the sunset with things that won't be on the quizzes. and the coding assignments were fun but we weren't taught C.
