Reviews of professor Ron Petrick

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr Petrick is an exceptionally good lecturer. He clearly explains difficult concepts, helps out when people don't understand, and is generally just excellent. AI is not an easy thing to get your head around, but he makes it easy.

Excellent at explaining his field, has a very strong knowledge. Puts up good quality recordings of his lectures, and goes through illustrative examples of all principles he discusses. Responsive by email and in his office, and a very pleasant guy in conversation. An advocate for his students and transparent about university decisions.

He is one of the greatest lecturers at Heriot-Watt. So humble and kind, he genuinely cares about the students, which is something you do not get from most lecturers. His lectures were so easy to understand, the course was of good difficulty, but the lectures just made perfect sense and were explained well.

By far the best teacher I had at Heriot-Watt. He is genuinely nice, cares for his students a lot, is available, makes great, very understandable lectures. Everything he says sounds interesting. The course itself was pretty easy but still very interesting. And as an MSc supervisor, he is very helpful, caring, understanding and involved.
