I had a distance ed (CMPT 110) with Dixon but that hardly counts. I did send an e-mail once asking for help and he answered fairly promptly, if that helps.
I took 126 with Mitchell. He is boring, makes tons of mistakes on in lectures, and nit picks on little things in tests. Nevertheless, still was an easy class.
I took 126 with Mitchell as well, it was an easy class for me but he's a pretty boring prof.
Dixon's good, some people think he's boring but I find his lectures quite interesting. Sounds like you're in second semester Comp. Sci... I remember those days :) (I'm happy to answer any other Comp Sci course questions you have, just send me a PM)

Yes, I am in 2nd semester Comp.Sci. Today I had both CMPT125 and CMPT150. I fell asleep during last 15 minutes of CMPT150 lecture =)because of calculus early morning lecture plus Dixon's voice is so smooth. But I'll try to stay awake next time =) In what year are u now? And thanks-I'll definitely ask you some CompSci course questions :smile:
And don't worry about falling asleep...I've done that once or twice in Dixon's lectures, and in a few other lectures too (well...more than a few...:embarassed:...ah, 'tis the university life)
yeh ill agree with the part with making a lot of mistake part for Mitchell, yeh i had cmpt 126 today as we were going over recursion, oh joy... he wrote down return 2 + 3 =.. then follow by a little talk and quickly answered it like a pro..... by writing down 6...
i wasn't really paying attention at first but when 2 students in the back cracked up really hard, then i noticed it and thought it was quite humorous...

then he was not too happy afterwards.. hah =/
He surely wasnt happy :sad: Ithought he would laugh or smth like this-but it didn't happen. Did u have cmpt 150 also? I studied for cmpt150 midterm and i thought i understood material - but i think i failed =(
Last two questions were hard =( -i coudln't do matching cause it just didn't match! And question with NAND gates-that was an easy question and i did stupid mistake so it turned out wrong >_< It's going to be my first failed midterm..........and i hope it's the last failed midterm.
I am in 150 with Dixon now, he is a good prof, but I am not too fond of that class.
I did 126 with Mitchell last semester and I am not too fond of him. He only knows enough Java to teach it so you can't really ask him any questions. He also is highly unorganized and his assignments where a mess in trying to figure out what he wants because he has so many errors.
Now J. Liu is by far one of the greatest Comp Sci professors.
