Even students who like Seth Pettie complain that his classes move too fast for them - perhaps he's just not that talented as a teacher, or maybe it's that he's so focused on cutting-edge research that he can't come down to an undergraduate level that easily. One way or another, he is making a name for himself outside of the classroom, assisted by an eighty thousand dollar National Science Foundation grant. His current research involves data structures; the mathematical side of computer science and engineering seems to be his forte. Certainly, new algorithms are the subject of almost all of his published papers.
