 Pros: Knows materials really well
Well prepared for class
Clearly explain the problems in class
Very open and nice to students
Cons: Nothing. The course is hard and requires a lot of work
Professor Mongan is the best. He explains the materials well, and will help you with any question you have. Very open and generous. If you have some difficulties that prevent you from finishing the homework, he won't hesitate to extend the deadline if you tell him ahead of time.
Enjoy every single moment of the class
PS: Just don't cheat on his assignment (copy code somewhere else). He HATES it.

 He took what I thought would be a horribly boring class and managed to make it interesting. He's a great professor and is always available to help you if you ask.

 Agree with previous poster. Def. justifies the tuition rate.
Only professor I know that actively tries to teach the material in a easier approach rather than bogging you with technical terminology.
In addition, he is extremely responsive in class and e-mail when questions are asked.
Probably the best CS Professor!

 Mongan is a really awesome teacher. He takes a very difficult class and makes it manageable for most of the students. He would always extend deadlines when asked, and the exams were not as horrible as I imagined they would be at first. He keeps the class alive and is genuinely funny. Overall, I can't think of a better teacher to teach this class.

 Cp. MIPS!! Bill's a pretty cool guy, and he definately knows his shit. Your grade depends on the grader, which he is not. Actually went over a lecture a second time just because I asked him and I didn't understand the material. Funny mother-fucker, too.

 Bill is one of the best professors I've had at Drexel. His enthusiasm for the topic is obvious almost immediately. He sincerely cares about his students and if they actually understand the material, and frequently looks for feedback on the course. I don't think I've ever had such an engaging teacher.
