Reviews of professor John Stuart

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Good feedback/knowledge of the material, w/fair grading. Looking at the other CS classes I enjoyed them a lot more. The material was hard and sometimes the lecture or directions were confusing. No offense but it felt like students came second, and although he would respond, it was all very different in style. The end project is a great idea.

Grade is based on weekly homework (1-2 hours), midterm, and a final. The class itself is extraordinarily boring but informative and not difficult. Lectures can be viewed online if you fight the urge to sleep. The homework or labs are fairly straight forward and not too difficult. Not hard if you either read the book or pay attention in lectures.

Best CS instructor I have had so far. While the content itself is dry, John does his best to liven up lectures and the content itself. I am extremely glad he was my instructor for this class and would recommend him to anybody.

Stu puts in a lot of effort to make his lectures engaging, though a lo of the time they aren't. Homework, aside from a couple, were fairly simple. The midterm wasn't too difficult, but the final was fairly challenging. The class is easily passable. After he has taught the class a few times I'm sure he will figure out a way to make it more engaging.

Assembly language is boring and can be really overwhelming, but Stu does a good job making the class less boring, and as understandable as possible. He does everything possible to make the class as easy as possible, like giving a study guide that was almost the same as the final. And he has a good sense of humor.
