Reviews of professor Scott Wehrwein

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
His "lectures" were a joke, he expected us to absorb a 50 minute lectures worth of information out of 10 minute videos of him stuttering each night and then spend the lecture periods deciphering review questions in groups. If you are a traditional note taker, do not take his class. This course structure is just an excuse to avoid having to speak.

No point in coming to class when all the material you learn is through video/your group mates. Midterm felt disjointed from what we learned. Problems and Excersies also felt disjointed from material covered in the video lectures. TA for lab was very little help for problems and questions.

Scott is great *almost* all around. This was the first time DATA311 was taught by anyone so it was a bit of a mess. There was quiz issues, grading difficulties, miscommunication, and failed content structuring. However as long as youre somewhat competent you should get an A.

Heavy emphasis on peer instruction, but with little feedback and no posted solutions. All course content is posted online. Just look up his course website and grind LeetCode before taking the class. He's reasonable and friendly but isn't great at teaching, but he isn't the worst. Always do the extra credit for the programming assignments!

Scott is one of the most disorganized professors I have ever met. Refused to release grading on final and final project, is not easily accessible if not in his office hours, is blatantly unhelpful, and at times extremely condescending. The content is super rushed in some parts of the class, quizzes are straight up unfair as well as the final exam.

Although Scott is a very kind teacher, you would ask him questions and he expects you to know it from the videos. Going to his office hours he will walk through the problem on the whiteboard. Class is mandatory and you just discuss what you watched at home; no lecture in class, which is rough. Midterm was difficult but you get 1 page of notes.

Taught us via video lectures. Seems nice enough in class but is a more intimidating one on one. Projects are mostly graphics based, and all material is graded by TA's who grade on the tougher side, it also takes them weeks to get grades in. Had us take a final but proceeded not to grade it or include it in our finalized grade.

Smart guy who knows his stuff but socially awkward and immature. Which is a tough combo for being a teacher. Would get visible annoyed with class when they were unresponsive to his boring azz lectures/ assignments or jokes. Really hard to listen to. If you can you should avoid.
