Just look elsewhere, seriously you'll save a lot of money. The one's who think they know Java forget it. Just don't bro.

I don't even know where to start with Yanni. He teaches programming the exact same way he learned it 25 years ago. His lectures are extremely boring and he rambles on about irrelevant information, such as his type writer fetish. He STILL does pencil and paper computer science exams. Dropped as class average was a fail on both midterms Terrible 0/10

I'd like to point out that I knew nothing about programming and still did fine on the class while skipping it sometimes. It is not the professor's fault. It is yours. He also provided many extra exercises and resources to learn java outside of class and always made sure to respond to your questions by email, and he is very busy.

He is honestly the best professor I had. Programming is a hard subject, and if you don't love it and skip the classes and labs (which a lot of students did since the labs were pretty much empty) of course you will fail. It needs dedication. He will be happy to answer your most basic and stupid questions.

Really nice and willing to answer any question a student has and knows his stuff pretty well. Its just his marking style is really annoying, extremely picky for assignments and impossible to get 100%, and for tests, no leeway whatsoever, multiple answer questions worth 1 mark and wont give part marks.

He is probably one of the great lecturers I had so far in my college journey, he makes sure no one is left out and everyone understands the concept before moving on to the next one but his grading system is poor, you can't expect a first-year programmer to program like a professional and get everything right. Just a bad grader in general.

Yanni is really good with partial marking. You won't lose marks for silly mistakes. He wants assignments in a very specific way. Lectures are organized with examples. The review questions he provides before any test is pure gem. So make sure to learn all the problems from the review question properly and you're good to go.

Very good prof. Learned a lot from him and he gives amazing lectures. Easy to reach outside of class with any questions you may have.

He just expects you to be a pro. I even asked for help from people who knew a lot about programming and they didint even understand what Yanni was saying.
