Reviews of professor David Filice

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Really interesting lectures. Midterm questions can be tricky. Best to go to class. The content is really what makes this class interesting, David can be a tad boring to listen to. I loved the essay assignment, lots of choice in what to write about. Very well organised lectures, key ideas are made obvious. Good class.

One of the best profs I've had. Super approachable and understanding about online learning. Had clear and straight forward slides as well as midterms. The questions tested your knowledge instead of being designed to trick you. I also enjoyed the required book for the class, which was good mix of related content and additional knowledge.

Dr. Filice truly is one of the best profs at McMaster right now. He truly cares about his students succeeding and their well-being. He will reweight everyone based on their best performance in the midterms/final & bump you up 1% if you're close to the next grade level. I really want him to stay at Mac so I can take another of his courses.

Dr. Filice was my favourite prof of my entire second year. Super young, I believe he was still a PhD student while teaching our course but I think that gave him an amazing compassion for teaching, and for the students. The course was super interesting, lectures engaging, and he was always ready to help every student succeed no matter what.

Hes amazing! His lectures are fun and tests are conceptually heavy but are not overwhelmingly hard. Hes so kind and he love to answer our questions. I hope he teaches more upper year courses so I can take them
