Reviews of professor Austin Willoughby

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Austin's lectures aren't that good, because I found myself lost or confused at the end of most classes. I had to go to others for help and wondered why he couldn't explain them clearly as other students did. This isn't the professor for you if you enjoy being frustrated at doing work you have trouble figuring out.

Be wary of the weekly quizzes, they're the only thing to fear. Otherwise a very nice and forgiving professor who runs an good class

Good lectures, especially great to talk to one-on-one about concepts. Extremely knowledgeable and is happy to help explain concepts, or break them down beyond what was mentioned in class. Will point you in the right direction if you want to learn more. Straightforward class, with practice exercises, a few HWs, and some exams. Def recommended

Austin is in his first year of teaching, over the year he has become more and more confident in his lectures. His grading style is extremely fair and timely, meet the requirements, you get an A. If you do find yourself falling behind you can just ask him to re-explain or go to one of his numerous office hours. Overall a great addition to IGM.

Austin has done a good job teaching DSA 1 considering it is his first year. The material is simple (basically GDAPS 2 but in C++) and there is not a lot of work at all. His lectures are more example oriented which I find helpful. He is funny during lectures and approachable if you need help. Overall a good professor to take a class with.
