C S 630 Winter 2012 - Comments
Responses (All Sections): 2 Total
001 Classes were very interesting. It was unfortunate that some student presenters were
not prepared, but luckily class discussion quickly replaced those students as teachers, andso learning was continually occurring.
It would be nice to see an even more in-depth version of this class. Maybe a class that was
specifically about Racket and the various interesting PLT problems it addresses. It wouldalso be interesting to have a class that went into types. If either of these classes do getoffer, hopefully it would be this next winter semester when I could attend them :)001 I loved this course. If I were to suggest any changes, they might include a few small
programming activities geared towards some of the advanced material we studied, toimprove understanding and retention.
The instructor was exceptionally good at understanding and answering questions. The
instructor was also very good at fostering class participation and interest.
I like starting class with prayer and would recommend it. Many other professors do, and it
gives us a chance to hear each other pray, which can be very edifying.
