Not an overly challenging professor. Doesn’t want to really help with any questions. The standard for cs professors at uw Tacoma is to be elitist and condescending.

This professor is very unhelpful. To be honest I'm not sure how come nobody has reported this man. I refer you to ratemyprofessor.com. He scares the students into not asking questions by belittling them or refusing to answer what he feels is a "homework" question. When asked why he treats students who are trying to learn this way his response is that they learn by finding the answer on their own. So then what am I paying this school and his salary for? Recommend not taking classes with this teacher unless you will not need any assistance with the work required.
