Reviews of professor Joseph Washington

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Washington is a super chill prof, he cares a lot about his students' success (he even moved back an exam from Thurs to Tues when he was told that a majority of the class had a physics and chem exam that Fri). If you go to lecture and do the HW's, you'll do well.

Lectures tell you exactly what you need to know with good explanations and examples. His tests and homework are very fair. The 4 hour lectures are super boring and tons of time is wasted answering excessive amounts of questions from a couple of students who struggle. Needs to tell them to go to office and move on with lecture for everyone else.

Lectures slides were confusing. Fair on explanations (in lecture/responding to questions), sometimes messing up examples in class. Not enough homework to make me learn material. Exams were easy.
Not a mean person. Just needs to work week-to-week preparation of explaining material

Prof. Washington is a genuinely down to earth guy and really cares about his students. I love taking his classes, he makes homework and exams fair and reasonable. Great guy, please take his classes.

The best parts of this course are how organized the lectures are and how thorough the HW is. I just skipped watching the recordings and read the lectures and did the HW. That being said, exams are very easy if you do and get the HW.
While relatively little time was spent, the material was easy to assimilate -- this class was very time efficient.

Absolute worst professor I've ever taken in my entire life. He and his TA's take at least two months to grade anything, and when they do they leave zero feedback. All they put on your paper is the grade; no explanations, no critique, not even slash marks where your values were wrong. Nothing. He ghosts students' emails regularly. Do NOT take him.
