Reviews of professor Dwight Sikkema

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
His main goal is for students to understand the material. He will favor students who ask questions and participate over quieter students, so if you make an effort you will not only learn more but benefit from it in other ways. He's a tougher grader but is very reasonable and listens to feedback. Very honest and genuine.

One of the many helpful computer science professors at COC. 122 can be hard at time but this professor makes it very easy for you through his lectures and practice exercises during the lectures. He does the projects with you and you have 2 quizzes, midterm and final. Also make sure to pay attention when you start coding in PEP9

He is one of the best professors I've had. If you want interesting lectures with a little humor, this is the class for you. You need to do the homework and assignments, but he works through them in class and is always available if you have questions. He gives practice exams before every exam and clearly explains what is expected to get an A.

Great class, very informative. I learned a lot because of his extra efforts in helping his students. He posts lecture slides online, which help incase I had to miss class. But being there for lectures is definitely important. Lenient grader.

He's the kind of professor who really wants all his students to pass his class but you're gonna need a good grasp on programming/coding if you'd like to have an easier experience. Also, staying during after hours is a must if you wanna pass. He truly takes an interest in his students and tries his hardest to make sure everyone learns and passes.

Prof. Sikkema is a great teacher who makes class far less dull than with most professors. He will keep your attention in lecture by being engaging by inserting jokes and movie quotes. Even though CS122 doesn't have a lab he will often help with projects if lecture ends early and sometimes sticks around to help after class even without office hrs.

Amazing Professor, really is passionate about the class and does a great job of teaching challenging material in a way that makes it easy to approach. This is a challenging class and Sikkema does want you to learn the most from it so activities and material are time-consuming.  Only complaint is the final, it is very hard so be ready for it.
