Reviews of professor Nelson Dellis

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The first 2 months was same as CSC115 + Zybooks and then we did data science stuff. 6 small assignments every 2 weeks, a take-home midterm after 1 month and a final project. The class was fairly easy if you know programming basics but be ready to look up documentations online as his lectures were subpar, slides for the final project was lackluster.

The structure of class was quite bizarre and the point system for grading is faulty. After the final was taken away my grade dropped more than 5% which wouldnt have even been a problem had he prompted us with an explanation. Nice Xmas surprise I guess.

By FAR the best CSC teacher at UM. I will only take my CSC classes with him from here on out. super nice guy, very cool too. always accessible outside of class and will accommodate missing quizzes or late assignments if you talk to him. CLEAR GRADING CRITERIA and lectures are not mandatory attendance. guy is a beast- take him.

Can't say much about the teacher but you could grind the entire class out in 2 nights and that's literally it. Free writing credit as well.

If you like comp sci or are good at it this class is probably a walk in the part. As someone who is neither of those I found it was very easy up until the last third or so when the assignments took a big jump in difficulty imo. However, put in the time and go to TA office hrs and it should be fine. Prof is very chill and lenient as well.

super duper chill and super lenient on the assignments too but the class was a little bit confusing at first just do step by step through the modules and you can't go wrong. If I could have him again I WILL ABSOLUTELY. also the exams are very easy as well which I appreciate too.
