Reviews of professor Joseph Welch

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Speaks in monotone. Not specific, very confusing. Please avoid if possible. Would be an enjoyable class except he makes it extremely dry and midterms are very ambiguous. Questions are worded weirdly.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The beginning of the class was a little bit rocky (to be fair, this was his first time teaching) because he went through the slides way too fast. However, he definitely improved throughout the semester. Very receptive when asked questions, both in and out of class. He is good at explaining content, you just might have to go the extra mile and ask..

To be fair, this is Joe's first time teaching ANY course since he graduated last semester. If you go to his office hours he really takes the time to explain concepts in detail and he instantly replies to emails. If you are giving Joe a hard time think about how much pressure profs have to go through teaching 200+ people the material.

Joe is really easy to contact outside of class and is very helpful if you have questions. Although you do have to put in a lot of work outside of class time, it is not that difficult of a class. Put lots of effort into the labs and study them because questions on the exams were based off lab material. Overall - he's a pretty nice guy and fair.

Joe was not very good at communicating the course content, required students to buy an upper level textbook, and directly read off of the slides word for word. Also, the slides were very heavy with words and were directly pulled from the textbook. He assumed students knew material that we didn't and would blow through 60 slides in a 50 min lecture.
