Mr. Simms is an amazing teacher and has an entertaining personality. Most of his assignments are drawn from lecture material so make sure you show up as much as you can.

Excellent professor who keeps things light while focusing on the important stuff. Very receptive to communication. Very test and quiz heavy. Not many assignments. Studying is a must. Great option for a professor if you need this class.

Professor Simms is an incredible professor. He structures his lectures in a way that promotes class interaction and always brings samples of the material we are learning about. His lectures are unequivocal and concise, and his pop quizzes are easy and straightforward. If you need to take COSC 253 Professor Simms is an amazing choice.

I have only good things to say about Simms. His lectures are attention grabbing! His quizzes/tests are very fair. He tells you exactly what to read/watch for tests through guided notes and study guides, and his quizzes are verbatim his class lectures. As long as you attend all lectures and take diligent notes, you will walk away with a good grade!

I had him for COSC 222, and it was a very easy class.  Attendance was mandatory, but assignments were simple and grading was easy.  No phones or earbuds allowed in class!

Don't let the rolling powerpoint tests scare you. If you have ever done OSHA or NCCER training then you will feel right at home. He does alot to help you out, like creating a fill in the blank review. Only 3-4 questions from each test come from the textbook so its not absolutely mandatory to pass, but keeping up with the readings will get you an A.

Simms is one of the best professors I have had, he is very respectful to his students. the class is a lot of lectures but he makes them easy to understand and to pay attention along. Attend every class if you want to pass his class the tests are over the lectures that he posts.

I took Simms for 253 and 254, he's a great professor, very helpful if you go to office hours. His lectures (for the most part) are great. He used to work in construction so he's very knowledgeable. The only thing that sucks is his test format. He has all exams on a rolling powerpoint. The only grades in his class come from pop quizzes and tests.

I took both COSC 253 and 254 with Simms and this guy is a total beast. I would take both classes with Prof. Simms 10 times if I had to. Tests can be tough but not terrible to succeed at. Quizzes are easy and what he uses to determine attendance. If you read ahead in the textbook, this class will be easy. Super nice guy, 10/10 would recommend.
