He's absolutely fantastic! His lectures are incredibly engaging and are very useful; plus, he's incredibly accommodating when it comes to extensions and offers plenty of office hours for extra support and the TA's are great. I've gained a lot from this class and continue to do so. I definitely recommend taking his course—the assignments and labs are straightforward similar to his lectures. What I really appreciate about his teaching style is that he does live coding in his lectures which is very engaging, and beneficial, especially for those new to web design.

This professor is very understanding and provided everyone ample time to complete assignments. Like everyone mentioned, the assignments were difficult but we’ve only had two in the entire semester. The exam tested us on concepts that were barely discussed in the lecture videos and the final project timeline was not reasonable for the amount of work required. He is a knowledgeable professor but some of his TA’s are not.

This professor is very knowledgeable and has proven experience in the content covered in this course. Initially, the class was off to a rocky start but he is very understanding and receptive to feedback so the class soon got on track. He is responsive and understanding. I would highly recommend this course!

Ok, so this course has been something else. The original teacher for this course unexpectedly couldn't teach so we didn't have a teacher for an entire week, but that's a different issue in itself. This course is online and has discussion sections which you don't have to go to. The issue with the course was it was kinda a mess due to him coming in so late that he didn't have time to prepare everything. His assignments can be way too difficult and his lectures don't help. Most of the time he just expects you to learn stuff on your own, which is fine in some cases but the stuff he covered in the lecture wasn't enough background info to complete assignments. If you have experience with HTML, JS, CSS, Node, and API integration then this class could be easy for you if not then it will be a challenge. I'm hopeful that this class can improve for future semesters, but this semester has just been too much of a mess to the point where I can't give him any higher than two stars

The professor is really smart and is so knowledgable but he made this course SO difficult. There were times I was spending hours on a lab and other times where a lab took me an hour tops. The lectures don't really help in completing the labs towards the end of the course and they are so long. Following a 1hr+ lecture in an asynchronous class is a lot especially if it is not broken up into smaller parts to follow along to at different times. The TAs are also not prepared enough to answer questions that students asked. There were multiple times where I was also waiting for hours in Office Hours to get help to be told "I'm not sure why you have that error". Furthermore, the professor does not help with system errors which sucks when it is a completely asynch class and the assignment is reliant upon your OS working effectively. If you are relatively knowledgeable in HTML, JS, and CSS and have a fair amount of knowledge with Node and API integration, this course might be much more easier, but as someone who was quite new to all of the topics, I feel like I struggled so much to even learn to the point where I couldn't learn because I was so stressed about getting things right.

Way too difficult large assignments, labs do not prepare you for them and TAs are just as confused as us

This instructor is extremely knowledgeable about software but the amount of work that we are expected to complete is extremely unreasonable. This has by far got to be the most difficult InfoSci course. The professor uploads lectures at the last minute and many concepts are not taught. Students are expected to "research" almost everything that is required to complete the assignment. The TAs know nothing about the assignments either. If you value your time and mental health do not take this course. Sincerely, A struggling student
