See what his student said.
Student A:"Thanks for being our USACO Silver teacher, Chris!!! Your classes are always so clear and organized, and probably more so than some of the CS teachers in our school... I first heard about your class online from some of your older students who were really hardcore promoting your class and leaving extremely positive reviews, so I'm happy your teaching really met those descriptions! Overall thanks for all the help. you're a very cool person and teacher and good luck with your future endeavors. MOO..."
Student B:"The class is very helpful in covering all the content/topics for Silver. The time in class had a good balance between lecture, basic practice & concept-style problem solving. The HW problems were at an appropriate level- for some, I didn't know at first immediately how to solve it, but the problem-solving practice helped over time. HW was also helpful to learn some of the strategies in coding, testing/debugging, & in Big O- it was good that the concept of complexity was referred to continuously. Overall a solid prepared course. Chris was very thorough and energetic in explaining concepts & providing help for better understanding. He clearly had a robust set of knowledge & skills about each problem & what strategies work, encouraging us to actively create solutions & think."
Student C:"Chris is a good instructor. He takes the time to explain the problems in class & codes up the solutions so we can read & study if we didn't understand...."
Student D:"I really enjoyed the class! Chris is engaging and helpful; he always tries to lead us towards the answer(as opposed to just telling us) and is patient and explain things clearly. He does a great job of making sure everyone understands the material by often stopping and checking on with us. Overall I think Chris is a great teacher who very obviously knows his stuff."
Student E:"Chris is an excellent teacher. He answered a lot of my questions. And he gives us a lot of time to do programming during the class..."
