Reviews of professor Nicholas Amato

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Amato is great. He had interesting lectures videos which were 10-13 mins long, which is a good thing. Quizzes were easy if you really studied and Exams were easier than the quizzes. Interesting and rewarding programming assignments that really makes you love the essence of programming. Overall a good class. I learned a lot. Good luck.

Would have had a better grade but the last couple weeks life happened and took my focus. his lectures were great, He covers amterial, goes through a practrical excersize, has another for the class, then there is a homework assignment. Extremely easy to work with, and readily excessible outside of class. Helped me correct a lot in zoom.

I feel like there'd be more coding for a CS class, but I guess it makes sense that this class would be a little more conceptual. I liked learning about data structures - just wish we actually were required to implement them to get some practice in. 2 exams, 8 programs, 5 quizzes. Just one thing due per week, read the textbook & watch his lectures!

I took him for fall 2022 and honestly it was very smooth and not too hard where you start stressing. we had quiz one week and a lab the other week. The quiz and really easy if you read the book or just follow his google slides. The lab were also easy, not too hard where you will be stuck for days. Book is really helpful and I really like him.

This is my first time trying out a programming class, and Professor Amato made it as easy as possible. His lectures were long, but he did his best to keep it interesting. There was a coding assignment every week and a quiz about every two weeks. Along with a Midterm, which was fairly easy, and a Final exam, which was pretty difficult.
