Reviews of professor Kristian Stevens

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
very easy class for someone who had zero prior experience coding. he lectures at a slow pace, which is good cuz it's easy to follow, but can be boring. you can attend lecture by zoom and lectures are recorded. homework is fairly easy and fun, 'stay late and code' nights with TAs are available 1-2 times a week. midterms and final are online and easy

The best you're gonna get. He is very caring and accommodates students. Everything on quizzes and homework is covered in lectures and the same with midterms and finals. Two homework and one test score get dropped, with all of it online. Lectures are recorded, and so are discussions. Never needed to attend class and got a 101%

Stevens is an amazing professor, not only is this class super well organized, making learning easier, but there is plenty of help available if you are struggling. All midterms are take home and the final was optional. Although his course was pretty lax I'd still say I learned a lot. Definitely chose Stevens if you're considering taking ECS032A

GO TO LECTURES. they might be long and boring in the beginning but it will definitely be helpful as the material gets harder. going to tutoring hours definitely saved me. professor shows how to do things in the program and goes over examples frequently. lectures were also on zoom if you didn't make lecture, but weren't recorded; slides were posted.
