Reviews of professor J. Scott Christianson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class was the most useless class I've taken throughout my college career (yes, even more useless than all the BA classes). I learned absolutely nothing and the exams were way too difficult for the amount of time you would expect to give to a class like this. The only graded assignments were the exams, so if you do bad on them you're screwed.

4 exams worth 100 percent but you can replace your lowest exam with a 100 if you do a certain amount of assignments. Super unorganized. The workbook you get is awful and you could flip to both sides of it in one lecture. Exams are fine but he makes up a lot of what he says.

The lectures are so boring. He goes on long tangents that have nothing to do with the class. You will not pass the exams if you don't do every assigned reading because the content on the exams is nothing like what is taught in class and the exams are your only grades

quizzes can pop up a little unexpectedly (online quizzes with a few days notice rather than scheduled in the syllabus) but they're never very difficult. very interesting guy with lots of stories and had us listen to a lot of guest speakers from different professions. some concepts are a little difficult but there's plenty of resources to help

Good teacher with a fun sense of humor. If your looking for a class in which you learn the basics of project management and actually have an open lecture about it I would definitely recommend this class. You do some assignments on Microsoft Project but a lot of the curriculum is about understanding project management techniques.

Prof. Christianson is the best. Imagine Hank Green, but for tech. His creativity, tech-saviness, witty humor, and large rolodex of awesome connections that he brings into class is great. He cares about learning, not school. I learned so much in his class and it prompted me to do a lot of independent research abut cool topics he mentions. 10/10

Solely about tests, bonus assignments are impossible, this was the worst class ever.

Professor C was a great person and professor. Clearly cares more about what you take away from this class more than the grade. His lectures were easy to listen to and he gives you a booklet with all the notes in it, you just fill out the missing words. Tests were manageable. Do the Power-Up opportunities, they make this class an easy A. Great dude

Attendance at lectures are not mandatory, but as someone who likes to attend lectures to keep up with material; I am very disappointed in the quality of the lectures. The Lectures are the most boring and irritating thing, To improve I think Prof C could limit himself on the tangents he goes on, as well as understand that
