Reviews of professor Jerod Wilkerson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Wilkerson is an amazing professor! 340 is a heavy class on its own, but Wilkerson explains each of the concepts thoroughly and gives plenty of in-class time to work on exercises and ask questions. I couldn't recommend him enough!

Although the class is very difficult, Professor Wilkerson gives you all the material needed to success in the class. The projects are very large, so do not start late, that is the best way to fail the class. Overall Professor Wilkerson is very sincere but also very focused and somewhat serious. If you want there is a ton to learn from him.

CS202 is an online class. It is very well organized and you know what to expect each week. The quizzes are not difficult if you actually do the readings/watch the videos. The labs are not difficult but are informative. You have one of each, each week. And you have plenty of time to get them done.

The guy is competent and passionate about CS. And to be fair he teaches the two hardest classes in CS (240 and 340). But my experience was negative. I couldnt get extensions when I needed them, and Ive seen him turn down other peoples requests for exceptions or extensions. His main piece of advice for those struggling was "Just dont get behind"

Dr. Wilkerson is inspirational as a master in the world of Computer Science. He knows what he is talking about. He truly cares about his students as evidenced by how kind, patient, and respectful he was when we asked questions. The knowledge I gained by taking CS 240 and CS 340 from him enabled me to launch my professional career.

CS340 has a bad reputation, but it's not THAT bad of a class. They've done a lot of good work fixing up the main project so your time isn't wasted. The twice-a-week quizzes/exercises are pretty easy (but not worth much). The tests were weird, the midterm was proctored but the final was open-book. Prof Wilkerson opens every class like seminary haha

He isn't the most flashy or funny professor, but his clear and deliberate style of lecturing worked well for me. Yes, he relies on powerpoints for most lectures, but he doesn't just read them verbatim, and the code examples he writes to supplement his lectures were always applicable and clear. CS240 was going to be tough for me no matter what.
