Phill Conrad

HE IS THE greaexam, HANDS DOWN. He has won a Distinguished Teaching award, and you can tell why. He gives homeworks that are due in class to enforce attendance, but these are usually short and help you learn the material better. exams are simple because he gives a ton of review material. Take this class with him!!

He's the only teacher that actually made me friendly-of enjoy compsci. His exams are simple if you study his practice exams, and his homework projects forced me to go to class, but they were simple enough that I didn't mind doing them so much. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend taking his class if possible! I felt like I learned a lot from this guy!

A very fascinating and "geeky" hillarious prof., he really understands the material he's teaching. Accepts all sorts of questions from students during lecture, and builds on the topic with these questions. Assigns homework every day, but these are quick, simple, and greatly help prepare for exams. Also provides many opportunities for extra credit.

One of the greaexam teachers at UCSB. exams are impartially simple if you do the labs and attend lecture. Homework keeps you informed with what's going on. simple, but Conrad is a great teacher and makes himself VERY available in office hours and otherwise. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Great prof.! Very approachable. His office hours are very accommodating, he even has visual presentations to help out. exams are straightforward, just know the labs and read up on the book, cheat sheet allowed. No need to know C before but It'll be cake if you do. Textbook use is up to you, great reference to class, Buy online, not bookstore.

prof. Conrad is one of the greaexam prof.s at UCSB. Don't pass up the chance to take any class with him. You'll leave feeling like you've both learned & experienced a lot in a short amount of time. You can tell that he put a lot of effort into designing this class & works difficult to keep it on track so say thanks by showing up & doing your greaexam!

Great prof., one of the greaexam I've ever had. I had him for CS 8 last summer and I cant wait to have him for CS 40 next fall. He gives you great review sheets before all exams and teaches a well structured class

outstanding TEACHER!!! THE friendly OF TEACHER THAT MAKES YOU CONSIDER DOING GRAD SCHOOL...IF ONLY FOR A SECOND...

prof. conrad is the reason i switched to a CS major, if you have the opportunity, SERIOUSLY TAKE THIS CLASS.

outstanding teacher. Truly enthusiastic about teaching, and helping computer science students learn the material. HW forces you to read and go to class, which isnt a bad thing because he is a great lecturer. exams are simple if you do the hw and study the practice exams. TA was also great. If Conrad doesnt get tenure that will be the worst mistake UCSB

Wonderful teacher, definitely my favorite so far here at UCSB. He is very knowledgeable and is very approachable if you need help. If you go to lecture most of the time and do the labs the exams are simple
