Reviews of professor Robert Harvey

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof Harvey was really cool. He engaged with students more than any of my previous CIS teachers. We used Zybooks, which I wasn't fan of, but he helped us with various coding assignments and even cut some content to help take the load off. Overall I definitely recommend more than any of my previous CIS teachers. Just be ready for lots of work.

My favorite Prof so far. Amazing teacher and class.

pretty awful teacher. By chapter 1 he's explaining things in chapter 11 and its not helpful at all. online quizzes arent multiple choice so you either type exactly what the computer wants or you get them wrong. he isnt profficent in java and always refers to C when that has nothing to do with the class. only take him if you already know coding

Whoever said this is a 'traditional' class is wrong. By that I mean CS is not a field where you show up for lecture and expect the student to just 'learn' on their own. CS is collobarative, professor included! Worst professor in subject. If you want solid foundation in CS this is NOT the professor! Even if you show up for the grade good luck!

Really great professor. He started every lecture with an encouraging video and worked with us throughout the course to make things easier. Made the class interesting and was encouraging. Quizzes can be annoying and I wish they were multiple choice because sometimes you'd say the right thing but get it wrong cause of something small.

Running theme for my last 4 teachers @avc this is their 2nd job, so be prepared for a mediocre educational experience from the educators AVC vets. Made duedates on a whim at the end of class, teaches ch4 when we havent even finished ch2 & makes its due yesterday, more worried about rushing through the chs, also youtube did 70% of his job.

First two quizzes were easy after that they were pretty hard. His lectures were power points taken from other Professors. Takes a 10 minute break every hour. Doesnt explain C Programming very well. Attendance is mandatory.

Great Professor! Honestly, this class was easy and all the grading is based on assignments and quizzes. Quizzes are straightforward, and homework is easy. He explains homework very well and even helps out when stuck in labs.

If it wasn't for Prof. Harvey's encouragement and successful structuring of the class, I would have given up on programming. You absolutely have to put in the hard work and hours, but he is fair. If you don't understand the concept first pass, you have time to learn it without failing. He goes over what you don't understand. He's patient. He rocks!
