Not the kindest of people... On several occasions he basically took the worst projects in the class, pinned them up, and made fun of them. He also has a tendancy to not explain stuff. He will assign a project, and not explain at all what he wants and how you can complete it. Even worse, when you ask him, he acts like you are an idiot.

I never wrote any reviews for any professors before, but I think it's necessary for me to write something about Mr. Abler. Although I only took his class once, my review could be completely subjective and biased, but based on his first impression to me, he absolutely doesn't deserve a 0.5/4.0 rating. He seems like a very nice person, very knowledgeable and passionate about what he's doing. The class doesn't seem like a hard class, but certainly will be a very interesting class. There were 1/3 of the seats were empty on my first day of the class, which really upset me. I believe Mr. Abler deserves a chance to gain his popularity.

This is not a User Interfaces class. This teacher is an idiot. An old fool with several failed startups he simply gives history lessons about Denmark and Japan and then acts like he knows what computer science or programming is. I think he doesn't know how to write a single line of code despite his syllabus saying we need JSP and JavaScript. Does this fucker even know what JSP stands for? What a fucking variable is?. He is definitely the worst of them. We never wrote any code in this class and this class is definitely not User Interfaces, he doesn't teach you how to design a single one. Don't take this idiot, who by the way doesn't even have a degree in computer science. He is a architecture graduate. Fucking idiots whoever hired him for the computer science position. I'm urging poly to fire this fuckface. And he is a rude piece of shit. I'm sure most of my classmates agree with me. Take a different cs elective, cuz this is definitely not computer science.

Today is the first day of class. Professor seems good. He seems to have a great understanding of User Experience because he has started companies in the past. The first set of lecture slides were useful and relevant to 2019 because he started with news from CES 2019. This class does not require much code. I am expecting an easy A with some effort of course.

Prof. Abler seems to be a nice guy, but the class itself actually makes me angry. The first half hour of class is spent on "news", 75% of which has no relation to user interfaces. Lectures are long-winded, yet information-sparse. Class attendance is taken each class, and it makes up a good portion of your grade, even though attending class is a massive waste of time. One of the projects is an arts-and-crafts project (this is the first time that I've had to buy paint for a computer science class). If you are actually interested in software UI/UX, you'll find more relevant information online than you will in this class.

Honestly Abler is tight and I'm not sure why people are complaining. He hasn't been rude this quarter and it seems like the opposite to be honest. He's apologized to a few students during class when there was a misunderstanding. Plus it's a fun class. The "news" at the beginning is always ground breaking interesting technology. Fun class and I would definitely recommend taking Abler. The only thing I would complain about he probably knows about and that is the arts and craft project, and in his defense he even said before he gave it out that if you really, really didn't want to do it to talk to him and he could figure something out. Seems pretty fair to me.
