Reviews of professor Derek Lowes

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
down to the earth, He is the best teacher at UWM. I do not know why some people do not like him but me personally I like him so much. He is helpful professors and he cares about the student. He makes a curve if needed and gives extra points but honestly, it is tough. Overall he is a great professor take with him any course under his name.

Great professor that makes himself available outside of class. He is a great resource for career and academic advise. There is a lot of excel work in his classes. If you pay attention in class and ask questions when you have them you will be fine. The classes are challenging, but I learned more from his classes than from any other professor.

This course is hard if you don't know excel (IF, MATCH, INDEX, etc. statements). In going to office hours, he wasn't helpful at all unless you know how to ask the right questions. Avoid him at all costs but it's likely you'll have to take a course with him while at UWM... Good luck.

If you put in the work, the class is straight forward and I've learned so much and he helped me land my current full-time job.
