Reviews of professor Jeffrey Davis

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Favorite professor I've had at GT. Very apparent in his passion for this subject and teaching. Very understanding for projects and gave extensions if needed. The projects were also fun and were effective at teaching class content. Exams were tough and few so it is admittedly difficult to do well in the class, but I thoroughly enjoyed the class.

Personally, I felt that the textbook readings were more helpful than lectures. His lectures go down rabbit holes and tangents, however he is funny. This class is graded on 4 exams (lowest one usually dropped) and one 15 point extra credit assignment. There is no homework, so its pretty much just up to you to do the textbook readings and questions.

Really nice professor who cares about his students' wellbeing and responds really quickly to emails. Got sick before a project was due and he gave an extension after I explained my situation. Really appreciate having him as my teacher, would take his class again.

I've taken Davis, and he is one of the toughest professor I've met. He doesn't curve the tests. I studied 1 week and a half in advance for the test, and final exam but still couldn't make it. 2 tests, 1st one is 20% and end one is 25%. He does provide old tests but they don't help much. No quizzes. 6 challenging coding projects. Not recommended.

Love this man. Want him to be my dad. Orgo is hard, you won't pass unless you do additional work outside of lecture bc he goes fast, but he will make your experience as painless as possible. Drops your lowest exam, offers extra credit, and a fat curve. Definitely would recommend him for any class.

Professor Davis is great. His lectures are clear and focus on examples and code instead of reading off powerpoint. The lab assignments are relevant to the course and always introduced something interesting. He definitely cares about students and tries to be understanding of circumstances.

Professor Davis made this class super easy and he is hilarious during lectures. However, you're only graded on exams. You get extra credit for doing an easy assignment graded for completion and an 80% is the cutoff for an A-. He does go all over the place with his lectures which makes them hard to follow, but his exams are very doable with practice

Genuinely might be the best professor I have ever had. He offers great feedback on the labs and presents the content of the class in an interesting manor. The labs can be a little tough but there are plenty of resources to help you get through them, there is also a bit a leniency in the deadlines. Highly recommend taking 2036 with Dr. Davis.

He was really nice and gave pretty food feedback. His lectures were kind of boring and long but other than that everything was pretty easy.
