Reviews of professor Jason Zietz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Zietz was an awesome professor! Always had good energy even when he didn't feel good. He made class really fun and engaging! He has a great sense of humor. He is so smart and good at explaining what he did and what his code means. He is always happy to help you if your confused and answer your questions! Show up to class and put in the effort!

Dr. Zietz was amazing. I see a lot of reviews about him hating AI, but he allows us to use it as long as we state the specific prompts we use and use it as a tool to help us learn how to code rather than have it write everything for us. He cared a lot about answering students' questions and would make sure we understand something if we ask.

Jason was a really cool professor who always made sure to engage with his students and ask how they were doing. The class got stressful towards the end because the problem sets were very different than what we had learned in class. However, collaboration between students (with credit given) is allowed, and it really helped me.

Easy class if you have any prior programming experience, and probably not worth the time. Zietz is a good prof and typically conveys concepts well, yet I could've finished the class in a month if he just posted all the notebooks. Wouldn't take this if looking for an advanced course. Only assignments are bi-weekly homeworks and a final project.

Zietz is great, he is funny and very smart and always willing to help. Class content can be difficult sometimes, but he makes it engaging. Asks for pretty much the bare minimum, as long as you go to class and just try he'll be really accommodating to you.

Not a good professor, does not explain anything and treats kids that do not know things poorly. The content learned in the lecture does not match homework. Be careful taking his classes. Also he is in bed with chegg.

I was hesitant to take this class seeing some of the previous reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. Mr. Zietz is a down to earth guy and he seemed to care about us learning the material. Some of his jokes maybe a bit dry, but he's never been rude or condescending.

Professor Zietz has the best teaching approach I've seen at CU. He codes with you in class and posts his notes once it's over for you to review. The homework can be tough but the TA's were super helpful. This class is difficult but I feel like I got a lot from it. No exams and he offers this class in a hybrid setting. Definitely recommend.

User-Centered Design with Jason was so much fun to take! It was very much discussion based. He really encourages students to talk and share their opinions and experiences. The assignments were fun and creative! I really enjoyed taking this class and would recommend it to anyone interested in design!
