Reviews of professor David Valentine

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Incredible story teller! You name it - he's got a story. Very clear lectures not always sure what information he is looking for on test but one of the most enjoyable classes to sit in. Easy. Stories include patriot missile batteries, grand-daddy patent wars, slaying dragon lady.

Do not take anything from Valentine if you can help it - he makes material so much harder than it needs to be and is unnecessarily rude to students for not being expert programmers in their first semester. The class would be much more manageable if class time wasn't so stressful and unpleasant.

He decided not to use a textbook so that was a fail from the start, I had no idea what to study ever he has powerpoints and takes questions from them but also he likes to make questions based on what he said ONCE during class. The man is smart but the class is really hard especially when he expects you to dig through java oracle on your own

He taught me more about the structural integrity of STEM than he did about anything computer science related. He undertook thorough stress testing at least once a week by leaping an inch into the air. He has inspired me to continue running 4 miles per day to ensure I will never reach that point.

As a junior in my 3rd spring semester, he is by far the worst professor I have had. He expects everyone to understand coding like it's our native language. He randomly calls on students to answer questions and singles them out. Any questions asked that are obvious or deemed stupid by him will only be responded by a laugh and joke. Not good.

Valentine is just a weird being, and his existence shows how creative God is. He loves Jesus, and preached in class about how we should judge others by the same way we are being judged. He only reads off the slides and phrases test/quiz questions in creative ways to make sure we do not know the answers. God only brought him here to test my patience

Dr Valentine is the the single most incompetent professor Ive had in my life. He never returned multiple projects. He said he gave them to another prof to give back, but that other prof was completely unaware and surprised when students went and asked for their project. His tests are hard and specific, and he is a very harsh grader. An awful prof.
