Reviews of professor Degan Kettles

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
201 is an easy class. It is very straightforward. Prof Kettle is a gem. He is spiritual and hilarious. He will show you how to do your work in class. You technically do not have to go to class because you can learn everything from the online textbook and Google/GPT. GPT is allowed in most of your projects.

Most students didn't quite know what to make of Dr. Kettles at the beginning, but after getting to know him he's one of the most caring, knowledgeable and enjoyable teachers I've ever had. His assigned subjects may not be the most exciting in the core, but he makes them enjoyable; and make hands-on, usable knowledge readily available.

Professor Kettles is one of the kindest professors I have had. Genuinely invested in the well-being of his students. He gets a bit off-topic sometimes, but the course content and structure weren't too difficult.

Class can be pretty hard a times. Going to TA hours is really helpful for any questions about assignment or topic. I find it helpful to go over my assignment with a TA if I don't want to miss any points. The first exam is the hardest bc of the time limit, however both exams are open everything but AI. Group projects aren't bad, ask TA for help.

He's a super nice guyThe whole course is online and his lectures weren't very helpful, I recommend taking it from someone else. He spent a lot of class time not even preparing us for the next project, you kinda have to do it on your own.

Prof Kettles was great! I didn't think the class was too difficult. I learned A LOT but it was very rewarding. A bit fast paces, but to be expected for a term class. Did a great job walking you through class examples and preparing you for the exams. He was super great though!

Professor Kettles is an amazing at teaching IS 303. He explains things plainly and helps you when you need it. What I loved most is how organized he was with his lectures and being understanding when technical problems happened.
