Reviews of professor Brian Atkinson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
The worst. Idk how he's a Phd. Course work was so random and at best just 100-level stuff, I learned nothing. Super unreliable and unorganized. Don't waste your time. This was a huge waste of my time. So disappointing.

Hope you like getting no feedback from your work the entire semester, because that's what you'll be getting if you have this guy as your Professor. First few labs started getting graded at last week of term. Material provided in 'lectures' doesn't help you complete labs or prepares you for exams. Hope you're proficient at googling, you'll need it.

Be ready to learn everything on your own and be utterly confused with hardly any guidance unless you have the time for office hours, which most of us with lives outside school don't. Only good thing is that he was fairly responsive, but gave 0 meaningful feedback or support on assignments which left me lost the entire class.

I don't know why the professor gets the lower grades. In his class, he brings a lot of new ideas. There is not much homework. The most important is the attendance. Remember attendance, attendance, attendance. follow his instruction.

This class is possibly the worst I've ever taken. The assignments are all based on participation. You can turn in essentially anything and get credit, but the end of term project is graded by the professor. TA's are just as lost as the students. All resources listed are either stolen from other YouTube creators or our book that is dry to read.

ITF598 NLP, the professor is very knowledgeable. In this class, all students did a presentation about NLP.  You will get countless ideas from here and there.

Horribly structured class; no rubric was provided for ANY assignments, Final was purposefully vague. Quizzes with four questions worth the same as weekly lab assignments, weekly reading is necessary to ensure you understand main concepts for assignments so be sure to do that. Easily the worst class in my undergrad experience. Avoid if possible.
