Tim McInerney

Tim McInerney is a super chill and excellent teaching prof who explains concepts clearly and gives solid, structured feedback. I took CPS188, and he really helped me understand the challenges of C programming. He's also approachable and genuinely cares about students. Overall, a great prof—attend his lectures and you'll be just fine.

Interesting course and he is pretty passionate about computer graphics. Tim makes the math very light in this course, so you don't need to remember much about MTH108 to do well. He has a course discord server for students to ask questions so he's very accessible. The weighting distribution is pretty fair but he changed it two assignments this year.

I swear this class is used to weed people out from taking Tim's beloved VR class. I hated this class! I think Tim was an interesting lecturer but the tests were challenging. If you hate math and linear algebra- don't take computer graphics.

Took cps209 and cps511 with Tim and I can't recommend him enough. Try to take a course with him before he retires! He is very passionate about graphics and wants you to truly learn. He updates his slides all the time, unlike other profs. Never late, never cancels. His tests are application based, so make sure that you learn the subjects well.

Super genuine and amazing professor, definitely go to office hours for extra help! Sometimes the lecture can be a little dry, but the labs and assignments are interesting.

Long story short, You won't be able to find any better cs prof, believe me. He is amazing at explaining and he really knows how to teach. And yes he makes lot of jokes that he only laughs at ! SO much love to this goat.

Tim is a treat for any student who takes his class. He truly cares and goes above and beyond for students. Attend his lectures and you'll learn more than just the course material, you'll learn what it means to create software. Note: Java is taught in this course and is a big learning curve for beginners, make sure to practice and don't cheat.

Very fortunate to have taken OOP with Professor Mclnerney, incredible professor that explains OOP, memory and Java extremely well. Also very insightful comments about life, careers and the technology industry. Explains fundamentals behind OOP and the structure very clearly. He brings a welcoming environment to learn Java for any level student.

i found lectures to be very useful if you want to pass the course. he also records and posts these lectures online but smtimes they have tech issues. overall his class was really helpful and i was able to pass very well. weekly labs are similar to the midterm and final.

If you value your academic success, steer clear of Professor McInerney's CPS 209 course. His teaching style is ineffective and fails to provide a solid foundation in computer science. The assignments were poorly explained, and his office hours were unhelpful. Don't waste your time on this professor.
