Reviews of professor Sean Deitz

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Deitz isnt too bad of a teacher. His homeworks are direct extensions of what you would think to receive on a project, but he has a ton of homework. Now his lectures and homeworks and projects arent the problem. This dude cannot grade for his life. Take him for anything besides 341.

Boring lectures and the class is work heavy. Hummel usually teaches 341 so I'd recommend taking it with him instead.

This dude has a tendency to assign a project or homework when they're not even ready to be released because he's still working out details. He tells us what to do, but he's not even sure of his own project entails yet, so doesn't do us any good. Gives very short deadlines, and he doesn't postpone the assignment when he releases it 2-3 days later.

The class isn't organized very well. The homeworks are free points. The projects aren't too difficult. I recommend not taking this course with this professor.

Please please please do not take a class with this professor. The first midterm that we took in September was not graded until the very end. He left for a month in the middle of class, no response for a month. Then he comes back and tries to make up for lost time, makes us learn entirely new material last week, has a project released day of finals.

Lectures are pretty terrible. They're very slow and uninteresting and you won't learn anything. I have had to teach myself everything on YouTube. Lecture is led like a 3rd grade classroom. The professor uses random number generator to force people to participate. If no one says anything the professor stares at the student in silence. Awful.

He is a really awesome professor. Answer questions super fast on piazza. The lecture is really helpful too. Would definitely take class with him again.

This professor has a lack of teaching methodology. he makes the course harder then it should be. you don't learn anything from his lectures and his way behind the schedule. there are other sections with professor reed much better and fun.I really regretted taking his class. because of him I started thinking about changing major.

Though Prof. Deitz has received some negative reviews in the past, CS341 with him in Sp21 was enjoyable. The homework led up nicely to the projects--all of which had the autograder promptly running. He has immense knowledge on the subject. Also, the class felt easy, but you still learned a lot. The course was structured, so you knew what to expect.

He's very awkward and disorganized. When class was in person, he'd stare at everyone after asking a question. Very monotone and I struggled to pay attention. You're essentially teaching yourself. At least Reed made lectures fun. Condescending too. He seemed annoyed when people would ask questions about projects and after exams. He COULD care less.
