Reviews of professor Patrick Rock

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He was so amazing and helpful when answering questions. He truly cares about his students and wants you to do well. Just make sure to actually do the work and watch the lecture videos. Even though it's a lot it will really do you good. Take him!

He said we can work with groups, and we can have some answers, but every time when we do the writing module exercise, he always "take care" of my group so hard, and he said it's not acceptable. Blablabla. If we do not discuss then how can we do the group work, if we do not discuss how can we get the same answers? Rather drop now

Extremely condescending for no reason (if you're reading this- please work on your attitude!). Super easy A, just show up and participate. Two large modules a week which take a huge chunk of time to do. Very doable class where you will learn a lot, I was just constantly annoyed by his condescending tone towards students in every single lecture.

Requires you to participate on Zoom meetings and he does tend to sound a bit condescending, but he's still reassuring when students get questions wrong. Lots of assignments, but he's recently implemented no deduction on late work. If you do well at the start, you'll worry less about getting low grades in later modules, every assignment counts

have never liked math, makes me cry, BUT professor rock's style of teaching which is video lecture at home & group classwork in class makes it super helpful & easy to ask questions & get help/understand. he is an understanding, easy to reach, & cool professor. your grade is mostly based on the work you do, notes help on tests a lot. also EC

 If you dislike group work this class may not be for you, however the group work he assigns daily is quite difficult to be stuck on as he is always floating around to help out and he is very patient with helping. He gives about 2 hours of online lectures each week and are mandatory. It's also quite hard to fail unless you try, just do the work!

Took Rock's course not too long when it was Zoom/Online. He's very organized and clear at teaching that it was no issue to complete the work. He puts a lot of effort into his teaching and provides great feedback/help. Now he's in-person and I imagine that his class would be much easier. No experience with him in person but trust me about online.

I took Professor Rock in the Fall of 2022, honestly it was a great class that involved group work and taking notes from his online lectures as the class I had with him was hybrid. The homework was taking notes and tests have open notes! Just make sure to bring your calculator, do your work, pay attention, and you'll be more than fine.
