Reviews of professor Patrick Hill

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If you don't give him a 5/5 after taking his class especially taking 546, then it's your problem not his. He is the funniest and most helpful professor you can meet in Stevens.

HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL PROBLEMS AND WILL FAIL YOU EVEN WHEN DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER!

Hill is a fantastic professor and knows how to keep the class engaged. However, he assigns a lot of work and is a tough grader. He is not a professor that you want to take on a heavy semester.

This is one of the best courses at Stevens, might as well say the BEST. Be prepared to learn a lot of things, and do not take it if you have no intent to learn. The prof is great and is always ready to help. I would pay just to watch his lectures cuz its that good. Wish there were another one which would make it a trilogy.

Great lectures and I really appreciate his no-nonsense attitude, given it comes along with very fair and reasonable expectations. He sometimes seems not as devoted to this course as he wants his students to be, however, and takes a long time to get project proposals back, stunting progress. Be prepared to start your final without approval.

Wonderful professor. One of my favorites ever. He made me love web dev. He knows his stuff super well. He makes jokes during class. He also gives some extra credit. Make sure you start the final project EARLY. He designs courses with a goal of students learning the material. The assignments are time consuming but not hard, and they teach you a lot.

I've been warned by others that he can be inappropriate at times and I had experienced that myself. He had falsely accused me for plagiarism and was loudly ridiculing me until he learned there was no MOSS report about me afterwards. This professor is not as friendly as others say he is and needs to control his temper towards students.

Professor is good

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Learned a lot from the course, especially since I had practically no web development experience prior. The assignments build on each other and eventually you'll have a final project which is satisfying to complete. Only complaint I have is that the professor clowns on students sometimes - never uses names, but is still a bit personal/unprofessional

Do not waste your time on CS-554. The course has very unclear expectations, no rubrics, don't know whats expected until you get your grade back. Just go on YT to learn React.js and save $6K.

if i had a choice to have professor Hill teach every class i have taken, i would've taken it immediately. although attendance is not mandatory, you never want to miss any lectures. they almost never get boring and the fast tempo of the class lets quick learners strive in such environment.
