9120023He's a good guy. Definately cares about making sure everyone knows there stuff. Unlike other professors he doesnt talk himself in circles and actually has a strong comprehension of the material. Has the standard i'm better than everyone attitude but most of the time can keep it under control.
9520023This guy is the best prof i've had yet. Always willing to talk, excellent knowledge-wise, couldn't be more willing to help someone, the only problem is he CAN be boring, but if the kids in the class are comfortable with him, he's more than willing to banter back and forth w/ a little humor and tell you stories about how he used to put giant boxes of sander disks on some IT guys desks and watch them wonder how big the drives are ;)
8820023Bierre is a good hard nosed prof. If you want to learn take him. He will help you out with problems but dont expect to sleep through his classes and make it.
8120023Easy grader, but I think it's because he doesn't know what he's teaching. Questions are often met with, "I'll get back to you". I had him for 484 another one of IT's ridiculously easy classes, where only examples are taught.
9920023Very Very boring lectures, however a very good teacher, definatly knows his stuff, and is willing to help you during office hours.
9920023He is an awesome professor who will w ork with you as mucha s you need
9120023Great teacher that knows how to get things done. Great professor for Intro to Database. Would take him again.
9520023I have had some programming experience before so this class was not to hard, however it was still challenging. Prof. Bierre is very nice and is willing to help with anything in JAVA. He knows his stuff and his grading is strict, but very fair in comparison to 3 other programming professors I have had. You won't find a better teacher for programming. Yes its boring, but its a dry subject to begin with.

8120012Knows what he's talking about, but boring lectures and not very good at answering questions.
6120012Boring, doesn't help the student much unless specifically requested, not origional, just a bad teacher.
9920012A great prof to have, he can explain Java in a way that makes sense. An all around fun class.
4820012
6820012knows what he's talking about, but cant describe it to JAVA n00bs who have never seen object-oriented design, much less any programming at all.
9920012Hes awesome. His lectures are kinda dry but he has extensive knowledge in programming. Great helper during office hours.
7520012I barely learned anything in this class, and knowing nothing to start with, I should have been able to learn alot. He is sooooo boring and gives little individual attention.
9520011outstanding professor, very knowledgeable however more interaction with the class would be appreciated
8520011Cares about what he's teaching, a hard grader on conding assignments, but fair.
8820011Boring, but he knows his stuff.
8820011Good Prof...but his classes tend to be boring...more interaction and enthusiasm needs to be shown. But certainly one of the best profs we have teaching java
8820011He is very smart and knows what he is teaching, but he could be a little more enthusiastic, and keep the class' attention.
8520011Very nice guy... willing to help you sort out problems in your JAVA code. Lectures can be boring, and more interaction and adherance/switch to the studio model would be appreciated. Some days better than others in terms of lecture vs. in class work. Some aspects of the homework are not abundantly clear, but only by fault of the department (who writes HW), not Bierre in particular. He certainly tries his best and it shows.
7820011Lecture's are extremely extremely boring. Most time given to lecturing with little to in class exercises or coding. He does know what he is doing, and he is a fairly tough grader.
