Reviews of professor Kristian Stevens

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I didnt go to a single lecture and used the slides to do the work which probably gave me a more difficult time trying to learn the material. His grading and teaching is MUCH better and EASIER than other profs and thats why everyone wants him,class was PACKED in the first week. I was waitlist 7 during pass and got the class. (other prof is TERRIBLE)

Super good introduction to coding and goes very slowly to help people with no coding experience. Class starts off slow but starts to pick up in like week 6. Do the HW's and go to the discussions and you'll be fine. Discussions are actually very helpful and you can even watch the lectures online via Zoom. Everything is recorded and posted as well.

Friendly and kind. Pay attention to your homework because it weighs a lot.

What everyone else is saying is right! Accommodating, great lectures, and easy to get an A if you put in the work. By far best CS prof

easy a+. ended with over an 100%. never took a cs course before. hw each week with unlimited attempts. open note quizzes every week but able to test code to get 100%. same with midterms and final. able to drop a lot of stuff. lectures recorded and lots of outside help offered if needed but i didnt use.

amazing prof! if this your first time coding, make sure to go to lectures & discussion, if you alr know coding, you dont need to. the class starts to pick up around the second midterm, so make sure to stick it out - as long as you do the assignments and quizzes youll be all set! plus, he drops 2 hw grades, 1 quiz and 1 midterm/final grade :)

Great lectures that are easy to follow, challenging but fair weekly homework (you can collaborate with others on it), and take home midterms/final. Recorded lectures and lots of resources outside of class for hw help. Very easy class overall but also interesting and informative.

If you don't plan on taking more CS, take Stevens, but if you plan on taking 32B (or really want to learn) don't. His class is inadequate prep for 32B, and you will struggle, Look at any profs RMP reviews for 32B if you don't believe me. He is good, and his class is well structured, but you learn a fraction of what you would with Butner or others.

the professor is very nice, he explains material very great, I never learn Python before but his lectures helps me understand the Python like learning a new language. Honestly, take his class if you want to learn Python. Grade by 7 hws and coding style and 3 tests including finals, and quiz, but drop 2 lowest quiz, and lowest test get drop too!
