Reviews of professor Andrew Wheeland

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Introduced far too difficult concepts much too late into the year. Many lectures were unhelpful in understanding the material. Working with actual code was the real enjoyable part of the class. Did not discipline more disruptive students. Larger projects and small exercises are given similar amounts of time and attention in class.

This class should be a 4 credit instead of 3 with how the dude runs this class. Class time is wasted on lectures on material that we are required to learn before said lecture begins. Gives homework that doesn't help students learn and is just "copy this code and submit assignment". Then gives multiple big projects at once that are time consuming.

Decent professor, passionate about subject. Found lectures somewhat dull. Fairly nerdy lol.

Its not necessarily that the class is hard, but the way he teaches it makes it a lot harder than it needs to be. Theres a lot of assignments that are time consuming and don't help with understanding the material. It's more like just googling the answers. Which is what he literally expects you to do for the weekly quizzes. Should be a 4 credit class

Way behind on grading assignments, didn't receive project grades (which were worth >50% of the final grade) until finals week. Assignments were evaluated on subjective qualities rather than fulfilling the objective of the assignment. Assigned way too much work, didn't allow nearly enough time to complete assignments. Nice person, terrible prof.

Took the online async version of this course. Prof Wheeland made some amazing video lectures. They were informative and entertaining. I consider myself to be successfully "introduced" to web tech for games.

Professor Wheeland is a caring professor who both lectures and provides resources outside of class. There are consistent quizzes, but all are online and open-book. Projects are interesting and I feel like learned a lot! He's willing to give you extra help and extensions if needed.

Wheeland's not bad. He's not great at lecturing, but he's a pretty easy grader, so if you pay attention and actually try, you'll do just fine. He's sort of a goob, honestly.
