Reviews of professor Neil Rhodes

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Taken 2 with Rhodes. Gives ludicrous amounts of homework and his classes are a GRIND, but it's all excellent stuff. Don't take if you want an easy class. You will work and you will learn. Lots of practical, applied stuff.. good prep for real software dev jobs. One of my favorite profs at HMC but he's definitely not for everybody.

Prof Rhodes' CS152 class was awful Spring 2021. The way the course was formatted meant that you had to score 100% on all labs, all challenge problems, and all quizzes. Unfortunately, he nitpicked every lab, couldn't score 100% on his own quizzes, and did not solve the challenge problems himself. Complete garbage.

I love his unconventional grading scheme. You need to get 100% on a fixed number of quizzes and labs for each letter grade, but he lets you retake the quizzes every week and he provides great feedback on the labs. His class format is unusual to be sure, but don't let that scare you. His lectures are wonderful, and he is a very nice guy.
