Reviews of professor Matthew Manley

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
It was very difficult to take Brother Manly serious in this class. The class is Technical Teamwork, which is a cool concept, but the class was so disorganized and Brother Manly is just not a great instructor in stuff like this. This class has great potential, but I feel it is wasted with Brother Manly as the instructor.

I took quite a few classes from him and he was awesome! Yeah, a lot of the coursework seems "easy," but that makes it better for those of us who have rigid schedule, or those of us who are slow learners. If you still don't understand something he said, try telling him what you understand/think. In my opinion, he's excellent at redirection.

Having taken all of the programming classes, here are a few notes for people to take note of. CS124 is the hardest class! With all teachers, it's solve on your own first then they teach. Afterwards in 165 and after, they teach you. When I took 235, he was really helpful and made sure we knew the purpose and how to do it. I would recommend him.

Bother Manley is always wiling to help you and makes a lot of his time available to work on projects with you and your team. The class was quite hard, difficult to understand, and required a lot of out of class work. Though if you have a good team and work with the T.A and Brother Manley then you can get through it easily.

Brother Manley did not go over how to use c# by coding with the class, which made the learning curve really hard. The class is all about making games using programming with classes. Every 2 weeks is a group project game, and if you have a good team and you are a good teammate, you can figure it out.

Brother Manley is great teacher, seems really passionate about computer science. His lectures were enjoyable most of the time, occasionally a little hard to follow. The algorithmic thinking class was ridiculously easy, you pretty much just get graded by your notes and give yourself a grade at the end of the semester.
