Reviews of professor John Wenskovitch

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He was inaccessible during the entirety of the course as he was initially travelling across the country and then moved into his new home, far from Blacksburg. His monotonous lectures were boring as he did nothing to make them interesting. We were basically left to fend for ourselves when it came to projects and homeworks, he was not accommodating.

Professor Wenskovitch is the kind of professor that does not want you to fail. The class uses TopHat the entire semester. There are 5 projects, a mid term, and a final. Though the mid term has unlimited attempts. The TAs are SUPER helpful, its almost impossible to fail this class so just put some effort.

Really funny and personable guy who makes the class really easy. When we did iClickers he showed us the answer distributions as we guessed so I never had to worry about missing those. He's project heavy and same with programming homework but you have more than enough time to get it done and it's easy to get help from him and TAs.

He unfortunately does not prepare you for any of the quizzes or assignments in this course. I have to look at the other professors lectures to learn anything because Proffesor W jumps around so much he is impossible to understand. 0/10 reccommend.

Prof. Wenskovitch is very fair and accommodating, and the class is set up well. Each week there were two pre-recorded lectures, one or two small programming assignments, and a project, along with a few short essays throughout the semester. He was always responsive on Piazza and made sure to remind the class of upcoming assignments.

Hard class but a great guy. He helps, he really helps like for real, he helps.

Took 2506 when it was still MIPS based. John has online lectures that are recorded so you can rewatch them if you're confused. He has a great teaching manner and his lectures are engaging. The program assignments are fairly easy if you start early enough, but the homeworks are all McQuain-based and are difficult. Tests were hard but fair.

He speaks extremely fast. I can't breathe.

Genuinely a really good professor that really cares about his students and how they are doing in class and outside. Everything was completely online and lectures were asynchronous but TAs and the professor were really accessible. He was the only professor that I had this semester that actually taught well.

Everything about the course was fantastic. I learned a lot about Python and computer programming in general, the projects were really fun to implement and just enough of a challenge, and the lectures gave us plenty of time to discuss issues with TAs and the professor.
