Reviews of professor Nico Hotz

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Hotz is a nice guy and a solid lecturer. However, he is among the worst professors at Duke at grading timely and giving feedback. Labs, worth the most besides exams, seem to be harshly graded (70-80%) with no feedback provided to improve later submissions. 

Exams have a large curve and it's frustrating to score low and not know where you stand

Professor Hotz was an amazing professor and made the transition from high school to college very easy and was understanding. Deadlines are not solid , and there is a lot of flexibility in this class. If you come prepared to do the work and follow the rubric for the assignments then its not hard at all to get an A in this class. Would recommend!

Nico is truly an incredible person. Classes were online and he made every possible accommodation to make student's lives less stressful. Although the material in his classes is hard, his heart is soft <3
