Reviews of professor James Reeder

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Reeder is one of my favorite professors. He was a nice guy and always willing to help his students. Even though the exam is really hard and there are many projects throughout the semester, I could learn a lot from his class and could actually apply what he taught in a real job. Great class, great materials, amazing lectures.

Professor Reeder is a very caring and helpful professor. His class is definitely hard, especially when it comes to the exams that are all written. The class itself though is enjoyable and he's a good professor stand-alone minus the exams.

Professor Reeder has been an amazing instructor because he clearly communicates throughout lecture and answers questions. He does move quickly but he always posts all in-class materials on Brightspace so as long as you put in the effort, youll be fine!

Tests are extremely hard because he wants us the 'master' not memorize lol. Give us a formula sheet but they are in random order so basically useless unless you 'truly master' the course. Some simulations are almost impossible to get right especially the extra credit sims. Make sure you speak in class because there are actual participation points.

Professor Reeder is an excellent professor and really has a passion for what he teaches. His course that I'm in is fairly difficult, but the information is so useful. The way he runs a classroom is very inclusive and open-minded, which makes it an excellent learning environment. I have him now, and I'm signed up to take another one of his classes!

This is the honest review: If you have friends in the class and are a hard worker, this class isn't too bad and you will either get a B or A. When I say hard worker I mean putting hours each week into this class. He is a very very nice guy but makes the Exams so damn hard legit the hardest exams I have had in college. Content is enjoyable!

Professor Reeder is an extremely thorough professor, and is always keen on making sure his students understand the concepts. He could be a tough cookie at times, but he is a genuinely nice guy and will do everything he can to help students. Get ready to work hard in his class!

Great teacher. One of the only lectures I have ever looked forward to going to here at Purdue. Does a great job explaining content and is accessible for office hours quite often. Really enjoyed his class and although it was really hard he was very fair about it.

Professor Reeder is one of the best professors I've had since coming to Purdue. His tough grading comes from holding students to a high standard and the general expectations, doable if you  attend class, participate, try on the hw, and  spend time to learn the material. Put in the work, he'll reward if he sees you trying.
