Instructor Comments

Here are some things that Stephen's students have had to say about his teaching over the years. If this isn't enough, here are some more.

 Back to Course Description

Instructor is extremely knowledgeable in OO. He challenged the class. His prior experience provides great insight into OOA&D and how to exploit the capabilities of different environments. This class goes way beyond text books written on OOA&D. - Sr. Consultant - Systems Integrator

Stephen's style, manner for delivery is open, intelligent and humorous. It is worth noting that a 5 day course of such detail and complexity can only be successful if the instructor knows his content and audience. Here, Stephen is outstanding. - MIS Director - Major Retailer.
 
Stephen really impressed me. I was a bit cynical coming to this course, thinking I didn't need it. However, I learned more from Stephen than any other computer instructor I've ever had. - Systems Analyst, Oil Company

Stephen is the best technical instructor I have ever seen. - Software Engineer - Telecommunications Company (Editor's note: this person had been using OO languages since 1981)

He led us to discoveries rather than lectured. Pulled many bits of knowledge I had into "comprehension". - Senior Specialist -PetroleumCompany.

Incredible patience! Especially for someone so obviously extremely knowledgeable on the topic.- Technical Support; Software Vendor

Inspiring and exceptionally adept at understanding our domain with little explanation, able to help me see the problems and solutions without giving the answer. Also, encourages questions in a way that does not embarrass the person raising the question. Allows us to learn form our "dumb" questions. - Programmer/Analyst - Software Vendor.

This was one of the BEST courses I've ever taken (25 years). Stephen made the course fun and exceptionally VALUABLE! - Consultant, Systems Integrator.

It is rare when an instructor has both an excellent grasp of the material AND the ability to communicate effectively with students of varying backgrounds. Even though I have a significant amount of OO experience, I still learned a lot of new and interesting things in this course. - Consultant.

I really found it valuable to hear about Stephen's project experience (what worked and what didn't). - Project Manager - Petroleum Transportation Company

Stephen is an excellent teacher. he is not only very knowledgeable in the theories and material, he also has an excellent style of teaching (in the sense of getting the concepts across to the inexperienced students - like myself). He is also very good at understanding questions, even if they sound nothing like anything we've gone over. - Project Manager - Entertainment Company

Stephen is one of the best instructors I've seen. He handled the class well, responded completely to questions and concerns, and had comprehensive grasp of the subject. - Sr. Programmer/Analyst - Tire Manufacturer

Stephen's passion for the subject matter added to the quality of the course. - Sr. Programmer/Analyst - Heavy Equipment Manufacturer.
