Reviews of professor Ian O'Toole

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Professor O'Toole is good overall. He is straight forward with the way he grades. There are several projects both in Zybooks and in your own IDE. One thing that I would change would be the complexity of the projects. I felt the projects I did on my own were too easy. It was an easy class overall, and he is very thorough in his lectures.

I took Software Dev II with Professor O'Toole was very understanding of COVID and extended due dates for everyone. Also was understanding when I had issues with my group project teammates. Willing to work with me with assignments as well. Definitely recommend.

Professor O'Toole is a great professor. If you have a question, you get a quick response. Here's the grade breakdown in his Java course: 40% Zybook homework, 20% 4 projects, 15% quizzes, 15% discussions and 10% 50 question final. He provides very good feedback on assignments, which enhances the learning process.

I was scared to miss class, he had 2-hour classes so it was scary. I needed tutoring help with every assignment and I'm a pretty smart guy. Other than that he's a good guy, he'll listen to mistakes he made, specific questions you have, and stories related to what is going on in class. The tutoring site he provided was extremely helpful.

The quality of this class is beyond amazing. This is a fantastic Intro to Programming class, I learned SO much. The professor gives super helpful feedback and is always an email away if you have a question. Very impressed, would love to take him again.

Prof O's class is very straightforward. You do the Zybooks assignments(12 chapters), 4 projects, and 4 quizzes total. While you have to learn everything from the book, it's not that bad and he answers email super quickly. The book is very good in most part except for last few chapters which is a bit confusing. Would recommend if you want flexible.
