I've had professors I haven't liked, or that I didn't match up with, or that were just kinda bad. He is literally the worst professor I've ever had and the only one I've ever hated. He's smarmy, rude, picks pet students, and almost all of his questions of students are to try to trip them up. I mostly liked the lectures until I read around and realized every good idea or example is taken from the texts or from websites on the topics (and his is a 404-fest that is still full of references to the last college he was at). Class is only attended because he takes attendance. Does weekly in-class projects that are a waste of time and will bore you to tears. Requires posting to an awful course management website he helped make; besides being ugly, useless, and bug-ridden it seems only to exist as an excuse for taking points from students. He doesn't even know the material well, his suggestions for user interface design are so obviously, laughably bad. Only focuses on empirical research about beginning users, it's as if people can't learn, advanced users don't exist, and no one uses software for more than 45 minutes one time. For your sake, avoid him; I couldn't escape because there weren't any other classes possible.
