Reviews of professor Forrest Bao

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Forrest is very knowledgeable in programming but cant teach sadly. He was upset that a majority of the class was failing and told us that he'd rather be dying on the beach on D-Day than be teaching us. The first week without teaching us anything, he told us our lab assignment was to program the Taylor series. The worst organization I have ever seen

This dude was literally mining bitcoin in his office when I went into his office hours. And didn't help me with my question.

no foundation to the class materials. starts very sloppy. pop quiz is 0 points in form of solving problem or coding on paper. 30% for quizzes and 60% for exams. it says its an intro but you need to know how to code before you start this class. lab is not graded either. his problems has many syntax errors and doesn't explain well

This man is a knowledgeable teacher. However, he doesnt communicate with his students very well and can come off as rude. Some of his stuff isnt explained well.

The worst professor I ever met in my life. This professor's grading criteria was very unfair. You should take an A or else you will get a B grade. There is no grades between A and B. The professor won't reply for your emails once you get grades

Please Don't take this course otherwise your GPA will be f**ked up 

If someone faces this issue, REPORT

Needs to find a new profession and needs to seriously stop with the whole teaching thing, I've never experienced a class so unorganized and graded so badly. this is. supposed to be a introduction to coding class and he put problems on their that even the kids that have taken years of computer science get wrong.

Bao is extremely unorthodox, and unorganized. He either doesn't know how to use canvas or just avoids using it which can make it difficult to find certain materials. His teaching style, however, is rather fun and engaging. He will randomly dive into topics he finds interesting and generally they're fairly related to the course content.
