Reviews of professor Dwight Sikkema

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Cant believe people are complaining about this professor. Best Ive had. He makes it very clear what you need to do to succeed in this class and if you dont do it, thats on you. You can lead a horse to a practice exam, but you cant make it take it. Also the average grade of everyone who took the final this semester was a Bnot a D.

Sikkema was a tough grader, at some point doing all the Assignments and studying for the quizzes does not matter if you don't perfect the mid term and the final. I completed all work with 90 or more but missed a few on the midterm and final and greatly reduced my grade due to midterm and final being such a high percentage of the entire class.

This Professor is absolutely AMAZING! His lectures are very interesting and he engages with his students well. He gives out amazing homework assignments that prepare you for the midterm and final. He also gives Practice exams in which are the same type of questions are on the final. He really cares about his students! SO TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!

Prof. Sikkema is a great teacher. Genuinely wants all his students to pass. Stays after hours to help with projects and homework until it is understood. Don't miss lectures, read chapters ahead, and ask questions for an easy A. Will accepts projects after due date so long as you try to your hardest to complete. Knows the the industry well.

One of the best professors Ive had at COC. He clearly knows the industry and provides helpful career insights. He gives practice exams that are super helpful for the midterm and final. Always happy to answer any questions or walk you through something.

A retired and highly experienced person, who's main focus is to educate, not grade. He is a tough grader, however very honest and integral. He will above all else, listen to the students opinion and take it over his own. He's flexible, articulate, and will actively try to make it a good experience for you, so long as you actively participate.

Really engaging and friendly professor he was very invested in the class. He had practice quizzes for each quiz and had plenty of attempts for the practice quizzes. The only issue was the final which had completely different concepts from what he taught. The average in the class was a D on the final. Grades dropped a lot for so many people.

*235 NOT 122 Intro C programming. Experienced code writers in the class had trouble figuring out and completing the assignments. This class consumed my week. spent 12+hrs per week studying and doing the various assignments and projects, midterm and final are weighted heavy and very difficult. He is very friendly and engaging though.
