Reviews of professor Sebastien Plante

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Plante was really good! His tests were straight forward, no trickery, tests to see if you truly know the material. Material is interesting and he teaches it well. Would recommend taking 320 with Professor Plante.

Profess Plante is a very friendly guy who really seems to understand the material. He's a solid lecturer, but he'll often use Excel to show examples/solve problems when we don't have that luxury for exams. He only grades based on 2 exams and a cumulative final. I felt like he could have focused more on practice problems in class to help for exams.

Sebastien is very knowledgeable and interested in the course content and gives clear lectures. My complaint would be that there was no textbook or homework so really all that you had to go off of for exams were his lectures. It's a very low-commitment class.

Plante may be one of the funniest professors I've ever had. He's very smart and makes class light hearted/fun. This semester we had python on problem sets and exams. It sucked but he doesn't expect that much. Exams are full of trick questions so be very careful. All content based off lecture and the slides no textbook. Study the slides for exams.

Sebastien is a really nice guy that genuinely cares about his students. His lectures can get a bit dry, but if you follow along with his slides you'll be in good shape. There's only 4 grades (heavily favoring a midterm and a final), so make sure you jump on the two problem sets early. Definitely recommend his class.

Professor Plante has a hard class to teach but does a great job with it. The slides are very helpful as well as his review of the last lecture at the beginning of class. He definitely cares that students learn the material and is accessible outside of class.
