As for Alexander Brooks, he was a great teacher and never had a mean thing to say. He was available a lot outside of class for anyone struggling. Class? Tough. Teacher? Great",

A huge portion of the projects are already written and the written portions are not explained. Very nitpicky grading, and understanding project instructions is tougher than the coding.",
