Reviews of professor James Sutherland

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
His lectures are easy to follow along and organized. Everything that's done in class (notes/worksheets) are uploaded on carmen. Although lectures aren't required, go to lectures! His lectures and especially his review sessions are very helpful to prepare for the exams. He's easy to talk to and really helps you understand things you need help on.

I liked this professor, but he was kind of hard to read and it was hard for me to come to him with questions because I felt stupid.

James is great! He's really responsive when it comes to email and he's an excellent TA. He goes over the material in detail, he works hard to ensure that everyone understands, and he's a very forgiving grader. I knew someone who had a different TA for math1148 and she was scoring lower on tests than I was despite answering the same way.

The set up of this class is awful. The professor does not make, see, grade the exams. The 4 exams make up nearly the entire grade. Quizzes & MMLs have no impact on grades. My TA was great and the only reason my class survived the course. James was quite rude and very unapproachable to students. People refused to meet with him knowing it didn't help
