Reviews of professor Douglas Malcolm

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class was a breeze. The online course materials and lectures do a great job at teaching you what you need. Quizzes are no big deal, and often short. Nothing on the exams comes out of the blue, either. Study the material and you'll do fine. Really chill class.

I think some of the reviews are a little harsh. He has okay lecture videos, despite rambling at times, and the quizzes and assignments themselves are not too terrible. 
However for CSE1300, 60% of your grade is from 3 Exams, this was highly frustrating, because if you had a bad day, you may have just cost a high percent of your grade.

He's extremely by-the-book with no room for deviation period. One of the worst professors I've ever encountered. He doesn't teach you a thing, and when you ask him questions about literally anything, he gaslights and shames you with passive aggressiveness for not looking it up yourself. Avoid taking this course with this professor.

He had great videos explaining all the topics and 8 easy quizzes to which the answers could be found in the power points and videos. Answered emails within the day. The only thing is missing a quiz will drop your grade A LOT. Tests were fairly easy if you watch the videos. Easy class if you stay on top of it and study the material.

Took his in person 1321 lecture without any prior coding experience and I was able to catch on really fast. He explains the material really well, and he's pretty chill as long as you aren't staring at your phone or playing minecraft in his class. We played kahoot before tests and the winners got free T shirts and frisbees and stuff. fun class :)

The class and labs were okay. Labs were performed and graded by TAs, and the listed professor was no where to be found in terms of communication. Grading was on the lenient side but sometimes inconsistent. You basically have to teach yourself everything. If you're not a self learner I recommend finding other professors or an in-person option.

The course work is easy 10-12 quizzes the whole year .75% of your grade is based on test. So if you are not a good tester then make sure you study extra hard.He rambles on in his videos making this class even more confusing. You are going to teach yourself. Just go in knowing this won't be an easy semester.

This professor was difficult to get in contact with, was NOT clear about due dates or what was to be expected in each assignment, and did not really even put forth effort when I had reached out for help!

I have Douglas for my lab and I'm not too sure why this happened but for some reason, we have a bunch of TAs teaching the class? I can't understand even understand the professor, who isn't Douglas(even though I signed up for Douglas to be my professor). I haven't been able to get any email responses and my work is being graded seemingly randomly...
