Reviews of professor Paul Delamater

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This isn't an easy A, but manageable. The class has a ton of assignments and two midterms, no final though. You definitely learn to code R and there's a class website which details all of the content and assignments. However, this guy is condescending and rude. Not a huge problem, but be aware. Overall decent class but I did not like the professor.

This class was so unnecessarily stressful and Dr. D is the most condescending person ever, he's so mean and degrades you if you ask questions, don't go to his office hours. Lectures are so painfully boring and participation in this class is so obscure. This class would have been more enjoyable if he wasn't teaching it. You do learn R though!

Mostly graded by tasks that have very detailed instructions so its easy to do well but the lectures were super boring and frankly unnecessary. I skipped half the classes and got an A. Don't mistake this for an easy class though. Even tho the assignments were handed to you, they took several hours to complete. Learned R but did not enjoy the class

He's such a cool dude. I love watching him lecture. I have had some family issues this semester and he was beyond accommodating even with the arrival of his baby. I really enjoyed the class, it's fun and easy if you like coding. But, even if you never coded before, it is beyond doable. Take it!

Professor Delamater is a really nice guy and also very passionate about what he teaches. He's a great professor that genuinely cares about his students and making sure they understand the course material. Personally, I thought the course content was a bit difficult, but if you pay attention, take notes, and do the exercises you will be fine.

Cool class. Great professor. Definitely recommend it.  Class is made up of many assignments that are easy to complete with the detailed instructions given. The final Project is a little difficult for me but that was only because my topic was weird. Just pick something simple. The participation grade is weird too, but it's only 5%. Awesome class!

I love Dr. D and this class! I learned so much (you learn R) & he was really helpful with feedback & responding to emails & discussion posts. There's a semester-long final project, many coding assignments, demos, and in-class exercises. It's a lot but if you pay attention to his (sometimes boring) lectures and do everything on time you'll get an A.

I honestly had no idea what I was signing up for when I registered for this class, I mostly used it to fill hours, but I ended up loving it so much! Dr. D was seriously great in every aspect. The lectures could get slightly boring from time to time, but you could tell just how passionate he was about the content. No coding experience required!
