amazing professor. Take his class.

Tests are near impossible given time restraints vs content. Uses 3-4 full inclass labs as the 50 minute hand written code portion of the exam.

If lectures were not mandatory, I would never step foot in that man's lecture again. Basically, reads off slides and relies heavily on TAs to explain the material. Tests are a bit long. Although he's a nice person, he is not a great teacher. Takes forever to reply to emails as well.

Is this your first time taking a computer-related language class? This is for you. While the course load and pace for this class are insane, this is not a learning environment. TA's grade harshly and most of our knowledge comes from zybooks which do not prepare us for labs and projects. you must have prior coding knowledge to succeed.

The class was difficult, but the teacher was very understanding, and moved exams around depending on student preferences.
