Reviews of professor Andrew Boateng

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Andrew Boateng is a very nice and caring person, who definitely comes off as someone who cares about your success and understanding of the material. However, he does not understand how to teach this class specifically. Expect pop quizzes, a midterm average of an F, and a completely unintelligible mass of criteria that your grade is based upon.

Boateng clearly wants the students to succeed and does his best, but is so unorganized and makes it very difficult to learn the material. The lectures are very basic, the mandatory textbook homework doesn't follow the class, lecture slides are posted weeks late, and pop quizzes are very difficult and have a 10-15 minute time limit.   Avoid him!

Not sure why Boateng has such a bad score. He's honestly a pretty nice guy and funny. I had a great time in his class and the projects weren't too bad so long as you have found yourself a good group on the first day of classes. Groups remain the same for half the semester!

He's a great guy, but a terrible teacher. I was in his EEE/CSE230 class, and wasn't really understanding his lecture, but figured it might be okay since YouTube and the textbook were available. I was wrong. After seeing that the average grades on the first 2 quizzes were 2.33/10 and 3.17/10 respectively, I decided to drop the class. 

Not worth it

230 this semester has been so bad.  Boateng has made lots of changes as the class progresses (curves, drops, etc) making it impossible to know your grade is.  Midterm average was an F.  Beware weekly in class quizzes where you're only allowed 10-15 minutes.  zyBooks is way out of sync with in-person lectures too.  Would not recommend.

He clearly cares about you doing well and is a really fun professor. It gets much more difficult later in the semester, but he makes sure you have resources to get help. The MATLAB assignments are going to be very difficult if you've never taken a coding class before, so make sure you practice in it.
