Reviews of professor Daniel DeFrance

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I've taken 3 classes from Mr. DeFrance and somehow he gets worse each time I have him. His lectures are incredibly dry with the same content from his required readings. I'm incredibly disgusted at his combativeness to his students' initiatives to make his class accessible remotely during a global health crisis, because he failed to do so himself.

He gave good lectures and was patient when answering questions. He was also very good at explaining things in class so that you wouldn't need t ask many questions. When teaching he would also show you how to do the things he was teaching you, which was basically an overview of your next lab.

Wonderful lectures and informative lessons

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
His lectures aren't really necessary, though he does record them if you really need them. He's pretty funny, definitely not uptight. I learn more from the book than him, though sometimes he makes it easier to understand.

He was the technical instructor for the web design course, and while his lectures were less entertaining than the design lectures, I still learned a lot and he clearly knew what he was doing! He did make the occasional mistake that the class would have to correct, but he usually explained what he was doing and why.

This class was taught by Daniel and another professor. The days Dan lectured were often very dry. He's a really nice guy, it's clear he's knowledgeable, very approachable and easy to talk to but it's clear lectures are not his strong suit. The lectures are simply not engaging and I found I learned more from Google.

DeFrance was a great instructor. I liked how he connected the assignments and content to real world applications. That allowed me to be more engaged in his class. As an introductory programming course, it convinced me that I really do want to be a programmer.

He is well versed and knows his code, I had prior coding experience so this class was a breeze, but if you do not have prior experience I do not think it really matters as the assignment due dates are quite spread out. Daniel is caring. Turn his lectures to 1.25 speed and they won't be so dull (I think he knows lectures are not his strong-suit).
