Reviews of professor Thomas Steiner

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I had the professor while the school was online only, say for in person classes it may be a different experience. Both the midterm and the final exam used material from the lecture, so pay close attention to what is said. He took almost the full semester before he started grading homework, so it was difficult to get feedback.

Thomas Steiner is an excellent professor, I learned a lot in his Advance AI class

He is very flexible and all he cares in grades is if you understand the concept. Even if you are not able to put it down well, if your answer reflects you understand he gives good marks

Professor Steiner doesnt know how to teach and his tests are extremely difficult. He grades too strictly on the labs. He expects us to know so much about coding when were new students. If you take this class, you will spends hours coding. He also assigns programs aside from the labs and theyre really difficult. I dont recommend this class.

He is the worst teacher I have ever had. His lectures are very boring, which is tolerable but he never assigned a single assignment until the day before spring break and was due pretty much right when we got back. The midterm was IMPOSSIBLE! Since we never had an assignment before it, no one knew what to expect and had NO practice with the material

Added an extra project to the 4 on the syllabus when he took over for summer II, had ludicrous (50+ page) requirements for program documentation, administered a 19 long-answer question final exam, but at least his lectures were good! If I were working or had any other commitments, I wouldve likely dropped/failed Steiners half. I miss him (Guo)

Hard grader, hes a good lecturer but his workload is very overwhelming and its probably worth it to just take another professor honestly.
