Hands down best professor I have had at Tech - take his Info Viz class!

Dr. Shapiro is an inspiring and engaging professor. He is clearly very passionate about Educational Technology. In terms of grading, he and his TAs grade very, very harshly. You'll want to write a lot and reference readings to get into the 90 - 95 range. Participation also matters a lot and is kind of randomly graded at the end of the semester.

Ben is a great professor; makes lectures as interesting as he can. 1 semester long group project, 9-or so small lab & homeworks, 1 midterm, no final. Cancelled the midterm during COVID, extended deadlines (made certain homeworks optional), overall very caring about his students.

I definitely learned a lot from him and he's definitely one of those professors that go above and beyond. Only annoyances are that a lot of grades on assignments were 88-91 range throughout the entire semester so your always on the edge of getting an A or B. So participation and readings matter. Tip: reference lots of readings in essays
