Reviews of professor Raymond Pettit

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
CS2110 professors all have different teaching styles and I don't regret taking Prof Pettit's class at all. He is very chill and approachable. I have actually come to like his dry sense of humor. Don't hesitate to come to his office hours if you have questions about the course material or CS in general, he gives great advice!

Algorithms courses are difficult, and I have no doubt that Prof. Pettit knows his algorithms. But when he teaches, for some reason, it feels as though he is just reading what he sees on a powerpoint. The reason is that he can spend 15-20 minutes essentially saying once sentence in multiple ways. He'll read out a new concept without explaining, too.

He was very charismatic and always tried to engage with and make students laugh. The class isn't too bad in terms of content if you actually pay attention and go to lecture/and or refer to the presentations and the online textbook they offer. In-class quizzes were a bit annoying since its on paper and most students just use trial and error to code.

Coming into this class with no coding experience, this class was not too bad. Professor Pettit is a really nice guy and cares about his students. The lectures are all recorded and he uses a token system for late work. The hardest part of this class is the "in class quizzes" that are essentially exams. These are written and can be tricky.

Very Excellent Professor.

Pettit is an awesome professor. His lectures are fairly entraining, and tend to be fun/funny; he tries to make them at least. 
The class itself was easy for me since I've used computers all my life, despite not knowing how to code before taking the class. Getting an A is really easy, just do the homework and pay attention in lectures.

Professor Petitt did a great job in teaching the first summer session of CS 1110 in a while. I went from not knowing a word of python to building a makeshift game of sorts in the span of 4 weeks. Professor Pettit is very accommodating and he clearly cares about his students and computer science education in general.
