Reviews of professor Brian Page

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Brian Page is a really solid 135 professor. His lectures are super helpful because he explains things well and codes examples for each of the topics we learned. He also records the lectures for you to watch at a later time. As long as you watch the lectures and take good notes youll do great.

Guy was a newbie, but condescending and put very little effort into his class and lecture. He was bad in-person, but when we switched to online, his 2 hour lectures became 20-30 minutes, like wtf. He would get his textbook, assignments, and tests all from another teacher, and still managed to put this little of an effort. Terrible avoid if you care

This class was alright, x86 and MIPS are just difficult to learn and the assignments you do to learn them aren't really related to what those languages are used for. The lectures were nice, read the book, it's incredibly helpful. Give yourself time to do the 12 assignments and you should be fine. Overall, pretty good lectures but hard assignments.

He was honestly a great professor; I understood his lectures pretty well. Although, he grades the assignments based on his own criteria (like how you name variables or how neat your code looks) rather than just the usual codegrade tests.

Not a good professor in my opinion. Every time I don't understand something and I ask him a question, he becomes condescending in his answer. Most of the programs are not overly challenging but we did one on a Card Game. It was hilarious because we had to use objects which we never learned in class. If you fail a test, good luck passing. Tests r ok

Hes pretty good over all, lectures were straight forward. Hes nice that one of my classmates missed final and he rearranged it for him. Only one thing tho, if you ask him questions he somehow gets annoyed, and usually wont give you the answer, TAs helped me mostly about my questions.

Smart person, but doesn't teach very effectively. He's also very hard to hear unless you sit in the front. He will help you and answer questions helpfully but the problem is that you have so many questions because you're expected to learn things on your own. Most assignments require a lot of out of class learning because he doesn't mention it.

CS218 at UNLV has always had a stigma for being an extremely hard course. This course was not that as the rumors, and all of the grading and tests were extremely fair. There were rarely any tricks on assignments or tests, and any difficult parts of the assignments were discussed in class. Would definitely take this professor again.
