Reviews of professor Lars Kotthoff

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Lecture material is acceptable, Lars attitude is not. Reach this teacher outside classroom hours? not a chance. Is not in his office for most office hours and and when he is there he is not happy to see students. He will, through body language and actions, let you know how much he despises students in his office.

Not much to add - very hard but you really learn something unlike other classes.

This is the worst prof I've ever experienced at UW. Unable to reach outside of class and in the off chance you actually can meet with him he'll make it very clear he doesn't want you in his office. Lazy lecturer, even lazier grader. It's clear that he has many bots on here boosting his score-see reviews with under 10 words and 5 stars praising him

Lars is a great lecturer, and his use of the flipped classroom was the best I've seen so far. The assignments and labs were also very fair. However, the exams were unreasonably difficult because it's very unclear what will be on them. The curves on exams are nice, but a curve is just an excuse for a poorly written exam.

He is just awful in every aspect that he is making fake bot IDs to improve his ratings on rate my professor. Approx, 90% students knows that how awful he is as an professor.

Lars is a pretty good teacher, and you will do well in class if you put in effort.  The only thing I don't like is his office hours are kind of difficult to access but possible if you really need it.  However, he gives great and timely feedback over email and through Github if you use it!

I really liked that there were no deadlines and you can submit exercises whenever. Makes it easier to plan with all other classes!

Goes through every assignment in detail in class so you know what you did wrong.
