it's *mister* smallberg everyone, he's not a professor

this guy... boring as hell. his programming jokes did not amuse me. and slow as hell. you can listen to 10 whole minutes of lecture and get nothing out of it.
but at least he knows what he's doing. even if he is a little arrogant about it. i think the main point is that his classes really test your knowledge of the subject. if you want to get an A, you *will learn*. his teaching methods just annoy me.

Smallberg has so much experience with teaching CS 31&32 that he basically knows what you're going to ask before you actually ask it. Yes he can sometimes be a little boring, but he teaches you good programming styles and helps you build an extremely solid foundation. Definitely recommended.

Oh yeah, he's also one of those crazy professors who gives you an instant reply when you email him at 1 am.

Fantastic professor, although Smallberg doesn't have fancy, animated slides like Carey, he has alot of real industry insight about the material in this course.
