Reviews of professor Darrell Criss

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took him for both 141 and 145 and I was very happy with him as a professor. His background is mostly industry, so he has a lot of wise words and advice to share - really promotes professional development and job prep, which I greatly appreciated. He's realistic with tests and coding, with plenty of extra credit opportunities if you participate.

I had him for 141/145 and learned a lot. You get back what you put in. During lectures, he encourages students to take pictures of sample code to re-engineer for projects. During free work time he will hangout and answer any questions/help where needed, has great stories/insights about the industry, and creates a lot of extra credit opportunities.

Awesome class, I had no experience with coding before coming into this class, I learned a lot. Midterm and final aren't that bad, 3 calendar assignments are a bit tricky. HW and pre/post lab, and labs are easy. Extra credit offered for going above and beyond expectations. He truly cares about students success. Overall great!
