Reviews of professor John Beck

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Beck is a nice professor, and is very helpful and willing to answer any questions you may have. ISD is a slog, and since he isn't the professor who designed the course/quizzes/tests it can be a little tricky, but I blame that on 3251, not on him. Solid choice.

Beck is a pretty boring lecturer. The class content is pretty interesting, though, and I quite enjoyed the projects. He's definitely passionate about the course content, it just doesn't translate well into the lectures he does (and he does. so. many.).

While Beck is definitely a smart guy and was really nice in the interactions we had, he's an extremely dull lecturer. Made me doubt if he really wanted to be teaching. Most people stopped going to lecture pretty early on in the semester.
