Reviews of professor Philip Buffum

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The class itself is worth taking because its almost impossible not to get an A in but Buffum is a terrible professor. Labs & homeworks are always based on coding concepts he is yet to cover in lecture & instead he would just tell us to Google it. He makes the programming section of the exams way harder than necessary. TAs were helpful but he wasn't

Buffum just started teaching, so the high level of disorganization and confusion in class is understandable, but for a class like data structures its not ideal. The grading was entirely based off your TA and he was unreasonably harsh for the first midterm so it would be a learning experience. Definitely do not recommend.

The lectures were boring but the class was ridiculously easy.
