Reviews of professor Jason Foos

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I really like the way he teaches his class. He is very good at explaining things and is helpful in lab. I would absolutely take his class again in the future.

Bad professor even worse person

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Clearly new to teaching and using Blackboard as a professor. He was helpful in email, but the class was disorganized and difficult to manage: confusing syllabus, folder layout, due dates and discussions. BB etiquette was not known or not followed. He layers the exams in the module folders but not in the ones you may think, so be careful of that.

Professor Foos is THE worst Professor Ive ever taken for a whole semester. He redundantly wants your programs to be coded in an over complicated, ridiculous, & very specific manner. His coding standards that he goes by are garbage and they are unethical and he enforces how you have to code, even if youre a beginner. His spelling/language sucks!

He is super picky in his grading. You can do everything correct and give an extra space in hundreds of lines of code and he will destroy the grade. You can do the work perfect and have everything work and still receive a zero. The computer science department and Mr. Foos do online classes where they fail 80 percent of the class.

C++, Outdated concepts and certain data structures that are uncommon/rarely used. Labs are also outdated thrown in with some updated files making things slightly confusing. Uses certain terminology that is also not included in book/online, only inside of module folders. Communication is fairly smooth. Overall its a "meh" at best.

This will be hard. This isn't elementary school. I learned A LOT in Foos' class. His grading is extremely strict, but he will tell you exactly what you need to do to pass. There were opportunities for extra credit after every test. Overall he was very fair and knowledgeable. As long as you're serious about learning, he'll be there to help.
