Reviews of professor Brandon VanDam

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor VanDam was an excellent professor and I am thankful to have had him in my first year. Lectures covered pretty much everything you needed to know, with the textbook only really being read for a few bonus mark quizzes. There are a TON of easy bonus mark opportunities (like attending S.I.). Exams and projects are challenging but very doable.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Extremely strict attendance policy for all lectures and labs. Materials are all about memorizing. Teaches nothing useful in lectures or labs. Easy pass if you do most group projects, which are very time-consuming. Very hard to get an A. A useless intro course with lots of projects and assignments.
