As long as you actually work hard and use the resources Prof. Warburton gives you, you will do very well. He's a genuinely kind guy, and brilliant to boot."

While he does give big C programming assignments that are very long and a final quiz that was rather tricky, it was still do-able and OK. Thank you professor for the course."
