Reviews of professor Michael Taylor

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Overall a good professor. Based on the way 15-112 is structured, I'm not sure that lecture is even necessary. I got bored sometimes during lecture since he talks kind of slow but was definitely helpful and available outside of class

He. Is. So. Caring. What kind of professor meets with you on short notice on a weekend just because he doesnt want you to stress about his class? Professor Taylor, thats who. Hard class but 167282/10 would recommend. Puts so much effort into this course its incredible.

Grade is dependent on the midterm exam and the final exam. Teacher does not present information in a clear and comprehensive way. Teacher does not answer student questions and gives attitude when asked for clarification. Does not offer extra credit. Many papers must be written on films watched in class, but due date for the papers is unknown.

Every class is a boring lecture that he tells you to take notes on but the only important assignments are the quizzes/tests which don't include anything from the prior lectures and are random questions based purely on the textbook and he doesn't tell you this, you have to find out after you get handed your first quiz.

The class was really good overall. As someone with close to no CS experience, it was a great class to learn the fundamentals of programming.

Does not explain homework very well as everyone is confused. Take a different upper division ECON elective if available.

Professor Taylor's lectures are interesting and usually pretty engaging. The course material is pretty basic but he goes above and beyond to make it fresh. I don't enjoy the discussion sections but my TA did a good job with it.

Class was always confusing. He would make you watch a movie and then assign a paper on it with the due date being 3 weeks away, then would randomly decide that it was due early and would not except late work. When students ask questions he would respond, but he would not answer, then would give attitude if you did not understand. Don't have him.

15112 is a well run class, especially considering its size. I have learned a lot, and found I never got overwhelmed by homework if I started it early. He cares for the students a lot.

Wasn't a terrible professor. There wasn't much graded tbh. But the tests are hard if you don't read the textbook! Papers were fair, had about 2. Can easily do well if you do the reading.
