Reviews of professor Kory Russel

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He said our midterm was multiple choice + short answer, but there was no multiple choice. After question 17/25, they got harder and worth more. We were not informed this would be the case. He also arranged it so you can't return to prior questions. I studied hard, yet possibly failed. Absolutely unacceptable behavior from a PhD professor here.

Very lecture-heavy, but he's a good speaker and the slides are engaging. Biggest problem is that he talks about a LOT of things and it's hard to distinguish what you need to take notes on. 

Low number of graded assignments so far, which can be a small issue.

Midterm test was fair but difficult. Homework has been relatively easy.

Russel is very passionate about what he teaches. Lectures often finished early, but were still interesting. Very nice and flexible, and a pretty easy class overall.

Great professor. Caused me to switch my major, little hw but is very easy. Puts memes in his lectures. GEs will help you more that the actual professor so it matters which GE you have, overall great class.

only 4 homework which is nice and one big group project. homeworks are worded in a way that make it seem difficult. Lectures & professor himself is engaging but lots of visuals in the lecture slide so be there for lecture to understand what is going on. open notes for mid term and final. highly recommend this course, teacher and overall solid class
