Reviews of professor Chris Bryan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class is one of the best I've taken at ASU, great prof. Homework assignment were given for 2 weeks at a time and could earn 30% in extra credit. The 2 exams were word for word from the lecture slides with 10% of each exam coming from a paper you had to read. Group project was almost 2 months, plenty of time, make sure you find good teammates.

The projects are excellent, especially if you are new to JavaScript; courses use vanilla JS and D3 js library. There are enough in-class activities and extra credits to improve your chances of scoring well. I suggest doing all the extra credit tasks for the first three hw's. Also, exams are easy, and from the practice questions he provides.

Dr. Bryan is a pretty cool instructor he alternates between theory and coding demos and he doesn't make his class too hard. His lectures can be boring but every now and then they get a little interesting. There is one group project towards the end of the class but if you get a good group together it isn't too bad. Great if you need an easy elective

Unlimited tries on quizzes, 5-6 javascript/html hw assignments, extra credit opportunities on every assignment, 1 group project, and random points for attending class. I liked the class, however, if you have no experience in javascript/html, it can be hard. He gives plenty coding examples which definitely help as you can basically copy/paste them.

This is a type of Professor who would show his ratemyprofessor page on his introductory slide. And would say 'these are my reviews, and let's go'. His lectures brought a human element to the code. The class was assignment heavy but worth it. This class is for all the nerds who got the code but forgot the human.

AVOID this class and professor by all means. This professor is demanding literally attendance for every class with 10 or more paper reading and summarization tasks, which has definitely no meaning as most of the recommended papers are not relevant to the class, but just from his random picking from conference publications.
