Good lectures for 3100, but the class is super difficult. Group project work is *tough* if you don't get a good group. It is nice to be taught by the person who created Pawtograder, because he takes suggestions for features or improvements.CS3100 2026-06-06 16:13:06 +0000 UTC
By far the best professor to take Fundamentals of Software Engineering with. Much more reasonable in-class expectations than other professors during my semester, and super accessible for help outside of and during class. Highly recommend.CS4530 2022-12-11 18:36:58 +0000 UTC
Great professor; very clear and fair about expectations. Amazing lectures. OOD isn't an easy class, but I'd recommend taking it with Professor Bell.CS3100 2026-05-10 11:53:31 +0000 UTC
Good lecture, extremely hard exams, and the final exam was very different than what he gave in the practice examCS3100 2026-04-22 23:26:22 +0000 UTC
I thought he was a good professor throughout the semester. His lectures are pretty engaging, and he's very knowledgeable, but the final exam was extremely unfair. The questions were extremely difficult and not similar at all to anything he gave us for practice.CS3100 2026-04-22 22:16:48 +0000 UTC
