Reviews of professor Phillip Forkner

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He is a nice and reasonable guy, but when it comes to teaching a concept, he fails. He simply read the code and hope that the students are following what he is thinking in his mind. Abstract concepts are taught verbally without using much writing. It is unfortunate that students have to pay so much to attend this lecture when there are internet.

He simply regurgitates the powerpoint slides that were provided by the actual CS professor at the school.

No feedback at all (maybe good students had one), however if you dont know anything about CS you are more likely to struggle by your own since he doesnt help at all those who dont understand the material. When when he tries to help, he basically shows the code without explanation. It was his first quarter, but despite that, he still was unprepar

He knows very minimal about what he's teaching, he often granted credit for assignments because he didn't know how to solve the problems. He complained once in class that he is "per diem" & needs to take on a few classes so he can get health insurance. He wrote tests the morning of class & never taught according to a plan. He was just winging it.

He seems like a decent guy, but he doesn't seem to even like teaching. His lectures are terrible. They are all over the place, and if you have never taken a physics class , you are pretty much screwed. He just slaps some stuff down with little to no explanation making it extremely difficult to follow.
