Reviews of professor Adam Clark

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
lectures in depth, but quite dry. exams were standard, very difficult and required VERY indepth knowledge of the material. Projects were hard. He runs a checker, doesn't look at code. key for projects: go to office hours 1-2 weeks b4 due and ask him to run checker and debug based on feedback from that. Exam av 55%, Proj av 40% final grade C

The real deal. Doesn't waste your time and gets right to the point. Material is difficult, but lectures felt engaging despite other reviews. Have to read and do zybooks, but it's a well-written book & helps with studying. Labs can be quite challenging (in a good way), but you can work in groups. Participate in class and ask lots of questions!!!

Professor Clark is a pretty good teacher when it comes to presenting material and answering any questions you throw at him. The only gripe is his grading scale. 20% Quizzes, 40% midterm 40% final. Your grade is essentially based on 52 total questions for the entire semester. 12 for quizzes, and 40 for the two exams. Overall he's pretty good.

No doubt professor Clark is very knowledgeable about the subject matter, but his lectures are dry, incredibly hard to follow, and often incomplete. Compounding this, the exams and labs often look nothing like the reading or homework, questions are intentionally ambiguous, and on top, he's a very strict grader.
