Reviews of professor Will Gutekunst

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The entire course is graded on accuracy. You have three midterms (each 20%), a final (25%), and three problem sets (total to 15%). There is very limited room for error in this course unless you get the CIOS requirement at the end of the semester, he may grade replace.

Dr. Gutekunst is a great professor, but this is a difficult class. If you want to do well I recommend attending as many lectures as possible. Many people will find the class difficult and blame the professor, but I believe Dr. G is great. The class is very test heavy, but if you pay attention in class and do the work you will do great.

Dr. Gutekunst was a great professor! His tests were pretty difficult, and he doesn't allow any kind of crib sheet, but his grade cutoffs lower than the typical 60/70/80/90, he dropped an exam, and he's very accessible via email, office hours, and piazza if you need extra help understanding the content.

85% of your grade is based on 4 tests (including the final) and the other 15% comes from problem sets that are also for accuracy. There's no room to learn from your mistakes without getting academically penalized. Dr. G seems very passionate about what he's teaching, but I wish he simplified. Take only if you have a lot of time to study/ memorize.

Passive aggressive, gatekeeps the lecture videos,  and the entire class structure is very exam heavy. The exams are usually harder than the practice and problem sets.
