Reviews of professor David Parker

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
David Parker is a good instructor, however he struggles with lecturing as a whole. He puts in some effort into his lectures, however they only pertain to the Halo assignments, and not any new material that adds to this class. Considering his lack of introducing new concepts, the sole motivator for going to his classes is for participation only.

This class was not designed well for an online format. Directions are not clear most of the time and the videos that are supposed to help are just verbatim directions. He taught this class in person as well but seemed to forget about his online students and only remembered to tell us if I showed up to office hours and brought up the same issues.

David Parker does not know how to teach, literally. He only reads off of slideshows and is bad at elaborating on certain topics. He gives a lot of busy work, but sometimes they're not for a grade. All participation is online so coming in person is basically optional. It's an easy A but very boring and you won't learn anything.

Professor Parker is a great teach and person. Helps out if you ever have questions and very helpful during office hours. He is the G.O.A.T. ������

At first, I didn't like Parker, but as the year progressed he was pretty good. His lectures are uninteresting, but you can just do work during them. There's usually just a discussion question you need to do for participation. His grading is not harsh, and a couple times he let students have another shot at a difficult quiz.

He was the only option for CST135 this semester... extremely disappointing. Unclear grading standards, dull lectures, and overall poor quality teaching. Would not recommend.

I took his class online, it is pretty easy however there were around 3 times when he marked off a significant amount of points for non-submitted work even though it was submitted, as well as many unclear instructions for assignments.

I have had Professor Parker twice now and both times I did not enjoy the classes. I did learn the information that was needed, but it by reading our figuring it out on my own. Professor Parker does care and he is very forgiving and understanding. But his lectures are scattered and hard to follow most of the time. Very easy class to pass.

David Parker is a great teacher for Intro to Comp Sci. He is always willing to help his students and he makes learning easy and fun. You can tell he really cares about his students and walks through things very well.

Parker is a decent option. The lectures can be dull, and I found myself learning most of the content outside of class. He allows for re-submissions for everyone which is great, and responds fast when you contact him. He is helpful during office hours as well. However, I would try and find another option if you are new to programming.
