CSC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 11:57 am, Jun 12, 2013 Report Evaluation		He is a great teacher, he helped me prepare for the final very well. He is very friendly in office hours!

CSC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 4:22 pm, Jun 5, 2013 Report Evaluation		I don't understand the comments here about Professor Hatalsky not knowing his material. He presented the C material in a format that was easy to pick up. I had very little formal programming knowledge before this class: most of what I knew I had taught myself over the course of CPE 123, and I had no experience whatsoever in C. I can understand that people might have a tough time with the class if they didn't spend enough time learning the basics of programming, but if you pay attention in the important first few weeks, everything else can come pretty easily.

CSC 225 Junior Grade Earned: D Required (Major) 7:58 am, Dec 8, 2012 Report Evaluation		I completely disagree that Paul and Julie teach this class together. Maybe if you take Julie, you'll be fine, but if you get Paul, it's horrible. The guy is not a good teacher (Who hires these people? Is what comes to mind), He just read from the slides (Everyone can do that). Plus, he doesn't make his own slides. The labs and everything in the class, even the tests, are written by Julie, that's why it's better to take Julie. He Never, NEVER, answered my emails (which made me really mad). The two midterms are little hard, specially the first one. He takes the midterms with him, so you can't really learn from the tests (Most of us, use tests to see what we did wrong, and correct it) As he doesn't give us the tests for us to take home, you can't really study from them, or learn from them: He expects you to go to his office to LOOK at the test. (WHO DOES THAT? Seriously) The class overall is interesting... If you have to take this class with Paul, I recommend that you read your book, and the printed slides that He gives you. If you can, try to take this class with Julie, She might be better.

CSC 225 Sophomore Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 8:23 pm, Nov 12, 2012 Report Evaluation		I've had Hatalsky before, so maybe I shouldn't be rating him again; but he's once of my favorite prof's. He can be a bit of an introverted personality, but he loves what he does, both the teaching and the computer work, and he always loves answer any questions and chatting with his students. If you get the chance, take him.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: C Required (Major) 1:54 pm, Jun 7, 2012 Report Evaluation		Hatalsky isn't a bad guy and it's not his fault that the material he has to teach is boring as hell. Discrete Structures is an incredibly dry subject that has little quirks in every single chapter that make the subject difficult to comprehend. Some concepts can seem easy when introduced, then when it comes to the homework or the quizzes you'll have no idea what's going on. Is that Hatalsky's fault? Not really. He teaches the material in a very straightforward way and often gives examples in class for how to go about approaching the more difficult problems, however not all of the material is covered in class since there simply isn't enough time to do so. To achieve even a B in this class you have to go an extra mile to truly understand this stuff.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: C Required (Major) 6:27 pm, Jun 1, 2012 Report Evaluation		Sadly on PolyLearn I can't put that I recieved a C-. I barely recieved this grade. Hatalsky is competent and knows the material. Do the homework, go to class, and put time into this class. Do what I didn't do. He presents the material and his examples are easy. Quiz day is generally a breeze. Homework is where you really learn the material though. Many midterm/final problems will seem like gibberish unless you put your time into doing the homework. He is great in office hours and caught me up when I was three weeks behind. Miracle worker.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 11:15 am, Mar 20, 2012 Report Evaluation		Hatalsky was a decent professor. Definitely not as bad as what people say. He's pretty nice and chill. I think he changed his way of teaching. He collected homework this past quarter and it can replace quiz scores if they're too low. Even though you can just take the quiz, I strongly recommend doing the homework. It's time-consuming but helpful. You're likely to fail if you don't do it. His tests are not very easy, but far from impossible. Overall, just do the homework and study the examples from class and the book and you should at least pass. Discrete structures is not an easy class and it has lots of different materials, but I think Hatalsky did a decent job teaching it.



CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 8:48 pm, Feb 27, 2012 Report Evaluation		For a day or two, I had a couple professors for this same course. Hatalsky was my favorite of them all. He's not exciting and just a bit awkward socially, but he's really a fantastic teacher. HERE'S WHY: he uses examples and makes sure that everything is very clear. Csc 141 is not an easy course, with lots of logic that can get a bit complex, but his examples and applications make everything so much easier.

CPE 101 Sophomore Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 3:26 pm, Feb 22, 2012 Report Evaluation		CPE101 is essentially him collaborating with Professor Workman, all the assignments are not graded by them. Instead the computer grades them, which means any errors you have wont get fixed for a long time. The labs are extremely tedious. The projects are nightmares. The midterm are not happy moments. The final is hard. If your taking his class, get ready to spend countless sleepless nights. And accept the fact that you are probably not going to get an B, much less get an A. Be happy with a C.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 1:59 pm, Feb 15, 2012 Report Evaluation		Alright, so this quarter is not even over, and I have never despised a professor/teacher as much as I do Hatalsky. It is not that he is a bad person, he is nice and genuine. However, I am attempting to learn an extremely difficult and boring subject, and I do not need him cramming at least 10 concepts into a 50 minute lecture. When it is time to leave class he will cram one last concept it, just for the sake of saying that he taught it already and that he no longer needs to do it. He barely skims over each concept, and only provides extremely simple examples. I understand that we are supposed to be challenged on our own, however, that does not constitute that it is okay for him to falsely rely each concept. Oh, and my favorite thing that he does is when you ask him a question regarding something he is going over, he will respond with "Good question. Actually, we'll go over the later," and then he will proceed to act like nothing was just asked. I would 100% recommend that you stay away from Hatalsky. Terrible, terrible, terrible professor (once again, not attacking his character, but his "teaching"--term used very loosely in regards to him-- style.)

CSC 141 Sophomore Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 5:32 pm, Jan 15, 2012 Report Evaluation		Hatalsky is one of the best professors I've had at Cal Poly. Sure his tests were hard, but his teaching style made this class incredible. Hatalsky went over material in a clear and methodical manner. If you had a question about the homework, or the concept that was on the board, Hatalsky would take the time to clarify. He welcomed questions, and was never condescending in his answers. He ACTUALLY cared about teaching the subject matter. Homework could be long, and there was a weekly quiz. Both were graded, but only the higher score out of the two counted towards your grade. His tests were fair and representative of the material presented--no GOTCHA' BITCH! style of trick questions. Take Hatalsky, he has a natural aptitude for teaching.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: C Required (Major) 12:44 am, Dec 16, 2011 Report Evaluation		Hatalsky is a decent teacher, not the best ever, but better than what most people say. 141 is a boring topic and its very hard to make it exciting, so Hatalsky did the best he could have done teaching it. Don't worry if you have him, you will do fine as long as you pay attention and do the homework.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 10:11 pm, Dec 15, 2011 Report Evaluation		I really liked Hatalsky. The material he presented in class made sense, and he was always more than willing to answer any questions. The material for this class is rather dull, but I often found the lectures interesting because of Hatalsky. He let us call him Paul and brought in cookies sometimes, too. If you want to do well in this class you HAVE to do the homework. There are quizzes every week and sometimes the questions come directly from the assignments (problems on the midterm/final can be pretty similar to these also). The midterms/final were fairly difficult, but they were definitely doable. If you do the homework thoroughly and actually put some effort in, this class isn't too bad.



CSC 357 Junior Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 11:42 pm, Dec 14, 2011 Report Evaluation		Average teacher, draws pictures and reads code off of slides. Tough class too, would recommend a different teacher for 357.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: D Required (Major) 9:57 pm, May 23, 2011 Report Evaluation		Hatalsky's tests are near impossible. The stuff he has you do on homework and in class are like baby problems. His two midterms added together make up 40% of your grade, and your final makes up 40% of your grade. Therefore, examinations make up 80% of your grade. He DOES NOT CURVE, and does NOT give much partial credt. It is extremely easy to fail this class. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: D Required (Major) 8:10 am, Apr 4, 2011 Report Evaluation		Hatalsky is a great guy. He was really passionate and cheerful throughout the quarter. That being said, I don't know if he's the best teacher for the course. I am currently 1 week into retaking the class with another professor and already feel that he is much better at taking it slow when we need to. There are parts of this course that take 1 lecture, and parts that take 3-4. Hatalsky seemed to try to give the same amount of days for each topic instead of dividing up the time depending on the difficulty of the topics. Many times he also had to spend twice as long rereading his example problems as he did writing them to make sure they were correct (and half the time they weren't and we used valuable time redoing them). If you know this material or feel you will understand it easily, take Hatalsky, he'll give you a fun quarter. If, on the other hand, you don't know anything about this course, try to take another professor.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: C Required (Major) 1:33 am, Mar 22, 2011 Report Evaluation		First thing you need to know is that CSC 141 is a boring topic. I think no matter who will teach this class it will still be extremely boring. Hatalsky is an average professor who knows his stuff but it is just hard to teach material that is this boring. His class was pretty intense grading wise. Midterms were 20% and you have two of them. Quizes were 20% which there were about 8 one every week, but he drops your lowest score. And the epic final which was 40%. His quizes are directly from the hw well most of the questions are. So DO THE HOMEWORK. What i did was i did the hw before the quiz and was able to remember the problems when the quiz came. His midterms were some what hard for me as i got D's on all of them. And the final was the hardest final i've ever taken in my life. I managed to escape with a C- which was the requirement to pass this class, because Hatalsky is just a nice person. On blackboard my grade was 66% and i was thinking i was going to fail, but when grades were posted my grade was a C- so i think that Hatalsky really wants us all to pass and he is just trying to teach us the material in the best way he can. Overall boring topic, hard class, but Hatalsky knows his shit.

CSC 141 Sophomore Grade Earned: C Required (Major) 11:37 am, Mar 21, 2011 Report Evaluation		Probably the most boring class I have ever taken in my life, with the most boring subject material, and to go along with it, a below average professor. He makes "jokes" in class and reuses them in his other classes. The material isn't supposed to be that hard, but Hatalsky definitely makes it harder than it should be. He assigns homework, but doesn't collect it or grade it. BUT IF YOU WANT TO PASS THE CLASS YOU NEED TO DO IT!!! His quizzes are medium-hard, and he'll drop your lowest one. His midterms are very hard, so study, study, study. The finals is all multiple choice, except for 2 proofs, which may sound good, except that one of the choices for each question was "None of the above". In a logical math class, that is terrible. He doesn't curve anything, unless the average is very low. Avoid him if you can, because you will be extremely bored.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 3:58 am, Feb 12, 2011 Report Evaluation		Great teacher, easy but very varied class material. The problem with this class isn't the difficulty of each section of material he lectures on, its the variety of completely different things you must remember. Almost nothing in one section can be applied to the next section of material so you need to remember a lot of different things in order to do well on the midterm and final. If you have to take this class, Hatalsky is a very good teacher to take it with. Even though he doesn't curve, his exams are very fair. Quizzes are very easy, and if you pay attention in class you should get an A on every quiz. Homework is assigned but not collected. Doing at least some of the homework is a very good idea as a few exam questions and a lot of quiz questions are verbatim from the homework. In our class he dropped the lowest 2 quiz grades and if you do better on the final than on either of your midterms, then the lowest midterm grade gets replaced with your final grade. The class sucks, but if you have to take it, definitely take it with Hatalsky.



CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: D Required (Major) 4:20 pm, Aug 20, 2010 Report Evaluation		This guy is the man. Discrete Structures is a pretty gross class, but he did a pretty great job with what he had. He booted the lowest quiz, gave us a take home quiz, and dropped the lower midterm if you did better on the final. In other words, he does everything in his power to help you succeed, but he does ultimately place you in charge of getting there. Do the homework is my #1 piece of advice other than going to office hours. This sounds like an unattractive option, but seriously, his office hours have been more helpful than any of my other professors so far. If you have to take this class, take it with Hatalsky.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 6:02 pm, Jun 21, 2010 Report Evaluation		Professor Hatalsky was amazing for CSC141. He\'s a funny guy, cracking jokes about the subject material. He\'s a fair grader, and cares about his students. He brought in cookies when handing back the midterms. As for the class itself, the material isn\'t easy as it\'s not about a few concise topics. Your grade depends mostly on how you do on the final: it\'s worth 40%, can replace your lowest out of two midterms, and as for the weekly quizzes, your two lowest get dropped. It is very important to stay up to date with the material, cause it\'s just not easy to grasp if it\'s your first time seeing it, however the class is enjoyable thanks to Professor Hatalsky!

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: D Required (Major) 6:35 pm, May 23, 2010 Report Evaluation		He\'s not the teacher to teach the class. I think he would do much better in another lecture setting, but Discrete Math is not a very interesting subject to begin with. He does try to get you involved and there are homework problems, but you only get graded on the quizzes and tests. If you have a choice to not take him for Discrete, don\'t.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 5:21 pm, May 13, 2010 Report Evaluation		Paul is not the best teacher, he has a hard time explaining the material to the class and does not answer questions very well. The lectures are very dry and do not teach you what you need for the homework and midterms. But really the material in this class is just boring and it is not because of him. All you really need to get out of the class is big-O and big-theta anyways. In general the class is not very hard and anyone should be able to pass it easily.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 11:41 pm, May 11, 2010 Report Evaluation		Hatalsky is very average, and very boring. He sometimes gets confused while trying to teach, but I don\'t blame him, the entire course is confusing (and unnecessary). All you need to get out of it is the idea behind big-O and big-theta, which you use for algorithm analysis in CSC 103. Besides that, the class is a series of very simple quizzes and one very tough final.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: C Required (Major) 7:26 pm, Apr 3, 2010 Report Evaluation		Hatalsky is not an awesome teacher but he isn\'t horrible either. He\'s just okay. Like someone else who said this before, follow Paul\'s advice and actually DO the homework, even though it isn\'t collected, otherwise you will NOT, I REPEAT, NOT PASS THE CLASS OR WILL HAVE A VERY SMALL ROOM FOR PASSING. Yes, Discrete Structures is a boring class and Hatalsky may not make it more interesting, but it is necessary to pass it to do CPE 103, so actually put some effort to understand the material. He does, however, explain stuff fairly clearly and is pretty helpful in office hours, so make use of it when you need to. What can really help your grade, like it did for me, is that he drops your two lowest quiz scores and replaces the lowest of the following three with your final if it is higher: the average of the quizzes, midterm 1, and midterm 2. The midterms are fairly difficult though so make sure you clear up things you don\'t get beforehand. Follow this same advice for the final, because it is HARD and also very long.



CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 11:08 am, Mar 24, 2010 Report Evaluation		I wouldn\'t say Hatalsky is a great professor, but there are definitely much worse. He is a good professor in the way that every question he asks on a test or quiz he goes over in lecture or gives you in homework. People tend to do poorly in this class because they don\'t go to the lectures or don\'t do the homework (its not collected). I didn\'t do any of the homework but I went to class everyday and payed attention, but if you feel like your struggling you should do the homework. He\'s not the best lecturer but he\'s a nice guy and means well. This is a hard class and many people fail, but I wouldn\'t blame that on Hatalsky. If you take this class seriously you won\'t fail,but if you underestimate it\'s difficulty you\'ll crash and burn. Just spend 15 minutes a day going over what you did in class and you\'ll be fine.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: D Required (Support) 9:13 pm, Mar 23, 2010 Report Evaluation		I hated taking this class, and what\'s worse is I\'ll have to take it again. I missed the VERY FIRST DAY, because I did not know that I had to take this class as a co-requisite with CPE 102. Big Mistake. Missing even one day in this class is like missing two days in another. Hatalsky goes really fast, through vague concepts I had never seen before. And his quizzes/tests are not easy to get even a C on, as each question, although largely similar in difficulty to the homework, is worth a lot of points. He really wanted us to pass the class, so much so that he actually dropped two quiz scores so we could do so. However, I still ended up bombing the tedious and overlong final, resulting in my grade not being good enough to pass the class. Thanks for no help, Hatalsky.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: C Required (Major) 4:26 pm, Dec 25, 2009 Report Evaluation		Hatalsky warns you early on, \"DO THE HOMEWORK,\" FOLLOW HIS ADVICE, it\'s easier than you think not to. While I did not do as well as I had hoped I would, I still liked the class for some reason. If you\'re wondering wtf Discrete Structures is like I was, it\'s an interesting mix of math, logic, and some computer science. While I am definitely not one of those people that \"does proofs for fun,\" I did enjoy the lectures and even homework problems at times. Sit up front, pay attention, and go to office hours! Paul is a little distant maybe at times, but he\'s a nice guy. Ask questions, get things clarified, and be able to do the tough homework problems without flipping back to your notes, it\'ll save you on the tests. Overall I liked the class, but wish I had studied a little more and done more homework. It sounds stupid to warn of something you know, but really... do the homework, study for the quizes, study the quizes, go to office hours, and you\'ll be golden.

CSC 234 Sophomore Grade Earned: C Required (Support) 7:56 pm, Dec 16, 2009 Report Evaluation		Hatalsky sucks! totally fucked me over, gave me a zero on a project because it looked like someone elses while the other student got credit. the project was ten percent of my grade too!

CSC 234 Sophomore Grade Earned: N/A Required (Support) 11:04 pm, Dec 15, 2009 Report Evaluation		Paul knows the subject material well, but doesn\'t do a good job at all teaching it. The class (or his not so good teaching) requires a lot of reading and csc tutoring. Paul will upload program notes online and go over them in class, but that\'s all he does. He is very nice and understanding though. The only way I got through this class was with strong help from family members who knew how to write computer code well. I would not suggest taking Hatalsky for this class. Quizes are hardly graded (5% of total grade) and the entire grade for the class is only projects and midterms. Whoever graded our class didn\'t even let us know what we did wrong until the end of the quarter when it was too late so it is difficult to evaluate what you need to focus on.

CSC 234 Sophomore Grade Earned: N/A Required (Support) 11:01 pm, Dec 15, 2009 Report Evaluation		Paul knows the subject material well, but doesn\'t do a good job at all teaching it. The class (or his not so good teaching) requires a lot of reading and csc tutoring. Paul will upload program notes online and go over them in class, but that\'s all he does.

I would not suggest taking Hatalsky for this class.



CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: D Required (Major) 11:15 am, May 27, 2009 Report Evaluation		Had no idea what he was teaching most of the time. He would postpone homework assignments so that he could go home and actually read the assigned work when we didn't understand it. Take, another, teacher.

CSC 141 Sophomore Grade Earned: C Required (Major) 5:48 pm, Mar 30, 2009 Report Evaluation		The material for this class is BORING, plain and simple. Paul does his best to teach it, hes seems to rush to cram all the material in throughout the quarter so missing class is pretty painful usually. Books is pretty much necessary since Homework is graded. Doing the homework helps a whole lot for the midterms and final, along with knowing everything about the weekly/biweekly quizes. Paul does an okay job teaching this material, but going to his office hours helps to make the class a little less painful.

CSC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 8:30 pm, Dec 22, 2008 Report Evaluation		phatalsk was pretty good 101 professor. his grading was fair and hw load was about somewhere between light-mid. lectures were boring and he wasnt the best guy explain certain concepts but he did take extra time to go over so everyone understood everything. as long as u stay on track and complete all the assignments like projects and hw, u should at least pass the class

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 3:08 pm, Dec 19, 2008 Report Evaluation		Professor Hatalsky is... interesting. He's not a bad teacher, he's just not fantastic, either. The lectures in class felt very bland and pointless, and I rarely felt like I was actually learning anything. Now, I give Professor Hatalsky some leeway, because this feeling of dullness to the entire class is probably very greatly in part to the fact that CSC 141 is the most useless course ever created.<br><br>Hatalsky does get some props, however, for the fact that the class felt pointless. That bears some clarification: The class was not engaging at all, but it was not engaging because everything Hatalsky would present on the board feels like something completely obvious and makes you say on the insides, "Well, DUH! That's obvious!" This is to his CREDIT, though, not to his detriment. The book for Discrete Mathematics is loaded with ridiculous terminology that convolutes simple things. Trying to figure out what you're supposed to be doing by reading the book is like trying to thread a brick through a needle: it just doesn't work. Still, Hatalsky could be more engaging in lecture or at least made a competent jab at relating things to computer science and I might have cared about the class just a little more...

CPE 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B Elective 9:19 am, Jun 18, 2008 Report Evaluation		Professor Hatalsky did an excellent job of conveying the material to us. I fully understood everything he was saying and he did a great job of answering questions and explaining concepts. Needless to say this was not an easy course (I think it has something like a 20 - 30% fail rate) but I feel that for the most part if you are determined to pass this class you can do it. The final / midterms were all fairly straightforward. I made the mistake of rushing through the final and ended up with a C+ on it. One thing to watch out for is the tricky project programs that he will make you write. Hatalsky made us incorporate his programs that abstractly linked the material we were learning. For instance we had to write an instance messaging program where he provided the client application and network infrastructure and we were responsible for creating the client server. All and all Halatasky is a great guy and a great teacher and I recommend taking him Good luck

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 12:07 pm, Jun 12, 2008 Report Evaluation		First off, Paul is a great guy. He's nice and genuinely cares about the students. I've had Prof Hatalsky for two classes now, CPE101 and CSC 141. This previous quarter the CSC department did not offer enough 141 classes along with CPE102, so he was the teacher of the added 141 section and I quickly switched. He explains material clear, and notices when the class isn't understanding a certain topic. He will take the time to make sure the class understands before moving on. His tests and quizzes are straight forward and don't really contain problems that are harder than the ones you've already seen before. He makes himself very available to students through email and office hours, and before/after lectures. His first homework assignment that he gives for all classes is taking your picture in his office, so you know where his office is. Whether you take advantage to his always open help is up to you. CSC141 is a hard class, and I haven't seen many sections where they weren't two hour twice a week block schedules. 141 is a boring topic(there is no denying it), and this schedule doesn't suit it well. Although this was his second quarter teaching 141, he did a much better job than other professors. Two hour lectures of Discrete Mathematics aren't fun, not Hatalsky's teaching style. Only negative would be that he didn't relate 141 to actual Programming enough I suppose. But it is very hard to do so, the material covered in the class is already larger than the alloted hours. Great teacher, unfortunately he is not teaching CPE103 next quarter, hopefully Mammen is then.



CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: C Required (Major) 3:21 pm, May 8, 2008 Report Evaluation		Even though I did poorly in the class, I felt that Paul presented the material well. He makes himself very available to students and is generally a fun guy. A+

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: C Required (Major) 1:37 am, Mar 29, 2008 Report Evaluation		Paul is an adorable man. I love the timid guy that he is. He taught this class for the 1st time and it showed, but he tried to present the material as well as he could. I learned more from lectures that I did the book. His mid terms and finals are very very long though but I think that was only because he didnt know how long to make them. I reccomend taking him because he'll only get better teaching the material.

CSC 141 Freshman Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 1:25 pm, Mar 19, 2008 Report Evaluation		paul is a nice person how really wants you to do well. However, this is the only real upside to this class. This was his first quarter teaching 141 and it definitely showed. His lectures made sense if you could stay awake but when it came time to do the HW his lectures were little help. He either covers the basics in lecture or not at all. He doesnt teach how to do the more complex problems that he ends up putting on his midterms and are found in the homework. Speaking of which, the midterms were complete rip offs of prof Ignadios. paul uses the same book, and Extremely similar midterms to ignadios but in an effort to make the class his "own" he adds material that the other sections dont even cover!!! Overall he is trying to teach the class but really isnt experienced enough with the material to teach it well. Im sure he is a good CPE 10X teacher but he is definitely not a CSC 141 teacher!!!

CSC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: C Required (Major) 9:01 pm, Feb 25, 2008 Report Evaluation		He's pretty new. He has trouble explaining things to you, which makes things difficult sometimes. If it weren't a "common" class I don't think it would have gone as well as it did. Overall, nice guy, willing to stop and explain, just has a bit of trouble doing so.
