Reviews of professor Aaron Oliker

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
It was a required class and I am no fan of coding, but he made it fun.  As long as you do the homework on time and go to class, it's very manageable.  I feel like could code in python by the end of the semester.

Aaron ensures that his Python class will be near impossible to pass. Despite my best efforts to communicate difficulties, he rarely replies if ever, taking weeks to reply, despite expecting students to fully reach his standard solely through his lectures. Often being no help and expecting students to teach themselves, telling students to google it

I took the class without any programming experience and got an A.  You do have to go to class but he does record the lectures on zoom.  He reviews homework each class one on one and reviews the previous classes.  I enjoyed it and learned a lot considering I never programmed before.  I think you just have to go to class and do the homework.
