Good professor with a sense of humor. There is a textbook however you can most likely do without. Attendance is not mandatory but recommended. I recommend doing practice problems before the exam and really reading the questions, he's a very clever when it comes to them - nothing serious but no point in losing a few points.

Great Prof. Makes you excited about C++ and super fair grader. Attendance not mandatory but recommended if you're a newbie to C++, since he explains concepts better than the textbook. Just doing that, attend your labs, and practice writing code guarantees you an A...

Makes a very dry topic somewhat interesting but you will have to do a lot of work on your own. You will need internet to practice. Class was very rushed so teach yourself. Do the prac qs bc the exams will cover the same topics. Curves and counts lab so you can do well.

He is the best. The first test was fair, the second test was ridiculously hard, but he drops the lowest grade, and the final was actually enjoyable to do. Just know how to prove the important theorems and you'll get an A. I had him for CS111 too, same thing, made C++ easy to understand and his tests/grading were very fair. Easy A & you learn a lot.

Brilliant mathematician, but keeps CS stuff simple enough for computer noobs. Hard to talk to him due to huge class size. Worse midterm counts less, a good thing as the topics get harder. Great class to start out the CS major.

Excellent Professor really knows his stuff and is able to dumb it down so everyone can understand. only thing that may be hard for some is the lack of a one on one connection bc its a huge lecture class. I wish he taught 211 i hear waxman is not even close to as good. Definitely recommend and if you have trouble go to the lab and ask the instruc

this professor got so many good ratings, I DONT KNOW WHY, He rushes through the material, after class ends, he runs away so we cannot ask him questions. Its hard to ask him a question, programming is hard and he just confused me more with it, Please avoid. thanks.

This class is stupid easy. I never programmed before, and got perfect scores on all his tests. Fun class, you'll learn some cool things, and it really opened my eyes to computer science. He's very clear, the textbook is an embarrassment, and try to get into a good lab class if you're struggling (Gheizals/however you spell her name is great).

c++ is not esay at all, but Ryba makes his class be easy and gives curve in the two midterm and the final. he's one of the best professor.

Your opinion in this class would be different if you are a cs than if you just have to take this class. He's a great professor and a very smart individual, if you are really interested in learning programming you will get an easy A, caused by the huge exam curves and even I you don't like that class you could still manage to get a B, like I've seen many times.
