| course comments : | signed up for this class before i switched majors. this class is worthless to me, unless I can pass it off as an elective.
pretty simple programming course |
| class : | Spring 2002 section 001 |
| grade received : | A+ |
| class rating : | 3 - Good |
| class comments : | do all the labs and you'll get a good grade.
little under 300 people in the lab, maybe 30 show up for class.
teh syllabus had one of teh days sceduled as a test review, and most of teh class showed up. all the tests were given on webct, and the system was screwing up, so tehree was no test. Rodman proceeded to appologise to teh calss and told how he did not try to trick us into coming to class. he gave teh class a few minutes to leave if they wanted to. |

| instructor comments : | This guy does not usually teach FORTRAN. this is his first time teaching FORTRAN. class notes are online.
his doctorate is in theoretical linguistics, go figure.
i think it is also his last time, the regular came back.

| class comments : | No attendance policy. I literally forgot where the classroom was 3 months into the semester. Go to the labs and get your stuff done there, then do your best on the (online) tests. They don't count for too much of your grade anyways (I got a D on the final and still got an A+ in the class). |
| instructor : | Rodman |
| instructor rating : | 3 - Good |
| instructor comments : | He seems like a nice guy. I only went to class twice the whole semester (and I didn't have any prior programming) but from what others told me he was a good guy. |

| instructor comments : | ..... but when Honeycutt DOES step to the front of the room, you have no idea what to expect. Yeah, he might do a LITTLE bit of teaching. Otherwise, he'll go off on the strangest tangents which have nothing to do with the class. It can be a riot, but other times you just walk out scratching your head, trying to figure out why you went to class just to hear the man ramble on. But he is INCREDIBLY nice. |

| class comments : | Well, I'd say if you can take a class and never go to it, and get an A+, it is an awesome class. There were 2 exams, and they were only FIVE PERCENT of your final grade each. I got a C on one, and a D on the other, and STILL got an A+. They were given online, so, once again, I didn't have to go to class. |

| instructor comments : | Once again, I'm giving him a good rating because I never had to go to class. I just went to the lab, and learned what i needed there. I hear he's a really nice and funny guy though. Even though I didn't do well on the tests, I still learned the actual programming of fortran well enough to use it correctly. |

| class comments : | Funderlic was a nice guy, very willing to help out and answer any questions. It's just his class is quite boring and not really although helpful in your programming until the project. The things you learn in class are vocab and the idosyncracies of various variable types and commands. Your TAs will teach you the actual programming in lab. The class is easy if you show up to lab. Attendence is not required for class, but is for lab. The book isn't necessary unless you plan to do the practice prob |

| instructor rating : | 2 - Average |
| instructor comments : | Boring but helpful. If you have a problem, he'll try and resolve it and was very active on the messageboard and via e-mail when the project-time came. Don't expect to learn actual programming from him. |
