Reviews of professor Alexander Katrompas

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I was weary of the reviews heading into the class, as they seem bot generated, but regardless, I would without doubt 110% recommend Professor Katrompas to anyone who is at all interested in a comp sci career. His lectures (online) were amazing, and he teaches skills and practices that are a staple in the real comp sci world.

Honestly, I had to drop. I was not at all prepared for this class but I've already signed up with the same professor for Spring. Class is great but you really better be prepared.

It's a tough class but you will learn so much if you put in the work.

Very harsh grader but you get to submit again for a better grade. Tests are easy, open book and do them on your own. It's basically all programming.

Awesome professor. Stresses doing things professionally, and you can use AI to do your work. Instead of saying "don't use it" like most teachers, he teaches you how to use it!

Professor doesn't give B's. LOL

Hard to get started because of all the tools you need to learn but easy once you get the hang of it. A lot more in depth compared to other first courses in programming. A lot of homework. Easy tests, open book and on your own time.

Prof Katrompas is a great teacher. He explains everything in detail and his expectations and the path to getting your grade are clear from the start.

Very harsh grader, the final weeks of this class are very stressful and can be hard to get through if you're taking a lot of classes at once. The lectures are pre recorded and a little outdated due to the low quality of the audio that makes it difficult at times to hear what's being said, the class is not good for programmers who visually learn.

The best professor at ACC. 2436 is HARSH in terms of difficulty, but Professor K's feedback is outstanding. You get two submissions, and he gives clear, PRECISE feedback. If you follow his guidance, this is the professor to ACTUALLY learn computer science. My SWE ability has sky rocketed due to his feedback. 10/10

Practicing stepping out of my comfort zone. I took this class along with GenPhys during the summer! Dr. Katrompas is badass and will help prepare you for the professional world. Resubmission saves. If due Sunday, I submit Friday, fixed the error, then resubmitted. The best practices are now etched into my subconscious. Very fair. Highly recommend!

Very good course.

Lots of homework, but not hard once you get past all the details. Open book tests (easy). Great lectures but long.
