Reviews of professor Derek Phair

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Phair is an amazing professor! He just started livestreaming for the first 6 weeks of the term to really help his students understand how C# coding works. The material was easy when you watch all of the videos and read the textbook assignments. Yeah there is a bunch of troubleshooting but that's expected from a coding class!

If you don't have any experience on programming, recommend change instructor. He's a expert on programming, but not explain basic, for people that don't know. He have videos, are not completed it related for the assignment he's requesting. Do the proper attachment on documents. He's all about attention to detail. Don't summit work late 10point off

The hardest intro course I have ever taken. His homework load is insane. If you are a beginner, good luck. You will hate your life. I wouldn't wish that ISIS take this course. He doesn't care to help and wants it done his way only. I do not recommend anyone take this class or this teacher. Go elsewhere for it.

Videos are from another professor, Unity project, almost nothing worked as it should for prefab items supplied to students. Many nights of working on the project for 6 hours.

Professor Phair means what he says in his syllabus about late work which is fine. What is not fine is the fact that this engr 115 class is taught with material from 2018 and the software to download is current to the year. Meaning the downloadable packs do not work well with them. Email the professor his response is I know. He was 0 help.
