Dr. Shindhelm is useless as a teacher. While this is an introductory computer science class for non-majors, the only people who do well in the class are those who already know a decent amount of programming. What he writes on the board is what will be on the test, so it is nothing more than memorization and regurgitation. The book is useless because it does not explain anything, it only tells you step by step how to do the included activities, which this teacher never refers to. Most of the time he confuses himself while writing code on the board, sometimes he will stare at the board in silence for several minutes before he figures out what he was trying to do...then if you try to use the code in VB it rarely actually works. He's in his office quite often, but when you ask questions he can be condescending and tells you he went over it in class, and wont explain anything in any greater detail. Often he simply replies with "well whats in your notes?...well if thats what I said my answer is the same now." In order to do well you have to literally memorize word for word pages and pages of notes, including syntax, and even with that it is still a toss-up as to whether you will be able to figure out what the hell he's asking on the exams.
