Reviews of professor Paul Stotts

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's very monotone, and personally, lectures were very hard to focus on. The material of the class is not too difficult if you're super comfortable with code already. The assignments are do-able without going to lecture if you take the time to teach yourself outside of class. He did provide some resources for midterms.

Stotts is fantastic! Although his voice is fairly monotone(he can't help it), he makes up for it through eloquently explaining concepts and cracking hilarious jokes. He is very effective at introducing students to data structures and explaining what it means for code to be "efficient." The exams and coding assignments are very fair. Take410WithHim.

Monotone and unengaging, but the content isn't too hard so you can just look at the slides. Assignments take some time but aren't too bad, especially if you get LA help. This might just be online - but tests take a long time to return and had mistakes in grading, and Stotts and his TA are not very responsive! 94 to get a A so sucks if you had a 93

He's ok, but the lectures were really boring and uninteresting. There is not a lot to engage in at all. Assignments were challenging but really beneficial, as you really have to understand the material well in order to complete them. LAs are very open to answering questions and helping if you need it. Exams are weighted really heavily, too.
