He never taught. Just talked...

Dr. Bredbenner is a nice guy, I just don't mesh with his teaching style. The lectures were not very engaging and the notes were hard to read. Many of the online "CA's" are too hard/obscure to be helpful. A lot of people Googled the answers. The lab tasks are fun, just plan to spend a long time. We had to wait multiple weeks for exam grades.

He cancelled class 3 weeks in a row and assigned a textbook mid way through the semester that effected 40% of your grade if you couldn't get it. Would read a PowerPoint word for word during lectures and would cancel half his office hours. Incredibly disorganized and unprepared and will randomly assign new projects that weren't on the syllabus.

If I had more than 350 characters, I'd use it! He is not fit to be a professor. He just reads what's on the slides and doesn't teach. On labs, when asked nearly any question will respond "Read the instructions". The last lab took students from 7-14 hours and he responded with "Seriously, why is it taking you (all) so long to work through the task"

Lectures were low energy and lacked enthusiasm. He posts all his lecture notes online and follows the notes exactly. Get the book. Homework is tough. Two midterms and a final. The tests were difficult... 3 questions no numbers only variables. Does not provide a practice test to help prep. Helpful at office hours.

Gave out easy reviews for exams and then proceeded to give the hardest exams which made many students type in the discussion group "Whos failing with me" . When someone said a task had taken them four hours already he said that maybe they should learn to type faster. Had my grade lowered from a 91% to a 79% just because of the extremely hard exams

PHD Bredbenner, like others have mentioned, is a terrible teacher. Very smart but not great at communicating what's in his brain. UCCS should re-think having this guy as a professor.

This professor does not know how to explain the material. He reads off slides then writes in "chicken scratch" on the board. The only way to learn in this class is to do the online assignments / readings and using outside tools to help you. This material is crammed into a 1:15 class once a week so you lose a lot of the fundamentals of programming

He canceled class for essentially a month straight. Assigned an interactive textbook out of no where, his test grading is crazy harsh. Assigned group projects without even knowing who your group partner is or ever being put in contact with them. 7:30pm test cause he worries about cheating (use lecture time for the test Todd). Uccs hire someone else

Didn't show up for weeks and I'm still missing grades for assignments from two months ago.
