Reviews of professor Tommy Seals

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
hasn't coded or taught C++ in awhile so he doesn't 100% know what he is doing. The programs he assigns are extremely hard and most times extends the due dates because he realizes how hard it actually is. Very slow at grading things so you don't really know your fate in his class. Some times he doesn't use the best language in class.

Do yourself a favor and learn Java before you take this class. It seems like he doesn't even know what he's doing half the time in lectures. You have to learn mostly everything on your own. He's a nice guy though and will work with you on your grade (curves, points back, etc).

I like seals as a person, and he's an okay professor. However his grader was the absolute worst i have ever seen. It took a month to grade any assignment, NOTHING was consistent, and i had to constantly contest my grade because the grader made mistakes.

Brand new professor skips most slides, lectures are tangental and disorganized. Projects are MASSIVE, Tests are also LONG with tons of hand writing. Grading is harsh. Many students in this section are not able to finish the assignments and do not understand the lectures. There is no textbook to follow along with either. Course felt unplanned.

He is a nice teacher but doesn't teach how to code it. You have to learn it yourself.

He is a nice guy in person but he is a tough grader and his tests are brutal. The 6 programming assignments he gave us worth 40% of the grade were reasonable in length but the midterm and final, worth 60%, were very long and difficult with lots of hand writing java code. The class average grade on the midterm was a 45 (although he did curve it 20

New to teaching so he has a very low teaching skills. Wouldnt recommend, had to do work on my own for pretty much the entire class. Extremely tough grader too considering he's new to teaching you'd think he'd be lenient
