Very laid back teacher that relates to his students well. He is easily liked by the students and teaches the introductory courses well. He always makes sure to break things down if students have a question. Pretty easy projects and exams. If you are completely new you may struggle a bit, but people with coding backgrounds will pass with a breeze.

Prof Neary is hands down the best CS112 instructor, hes very good at explaining the fundamentals of code, and helps you master it for yourself. highly recommend 10/10, as a plus hes also quick to reply to emails

We had class online, and Professor Neary was easily the most adaptable out of all of my professors. He clearly explains things in office hours and gives clear examples during lecture if you actually pay attention. Best professor I have had so far at this school.

Neary is a good professor. I believe it was his first semester teaching 112, so it was a new experience teaching this class for him. Participation matters, just make sure to do the required assignments for this class. He made sure that nobody could mess up if they tried this semester. He cares and enjoys covering interesting cs topics. Take him

This was my first real class where I actually had to program. I had learned a lot in this class. I do not care that I received a C. Realize that this is a class where YOU are going to do the programming. Not some online resource or classmates. Use python tutor and work through the logic alone. There were 3 assignments I could not complete fully.

This professor was one of the worst I have ever taken. My code was apparently too similar to another students so he claimed I plagiarized it and reported me to the conduct board. It sounds like he does this to a lot of students just randomly so beware of that if you decide to take his class.

I have nothing but praise for this prof. The course itself can be very challenging and have a huge workload, regardless of what prof you have. However, he works really hard around this to keep students engaged in a fun and relatable way. He does lots of examples and walkthroughs on the assignments. Hes pretty funny too. Take him if you can!

This class is hard but if you have the willpower you can do it. Remember to start early on assignments and always ask for help and there is surely someone to help you.
