Reviews of professor Daniel Walker

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Goes offline when he does not feel like helping. Take that any way you like! Not caring if you require any more attention than he is willing to give! A friend or someone with previous knowledge is recommended because professor is unwilling to help and explain .

It is extremely difficult to grasp the content he is teaching since he is a very dry and dull lecturer. Most of the time you would think you did an assignment perfectly, but huge chunks of points are taken off from assignments. He assumes students to be proficient programmers and assigns homework with not much explanation. Not recommended.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Overall enjoyed the class but he takes forever to grade anything (led to issues with assignments based on previous ungraded work) and emails are hit or miss. He's new to teaching and hopefully addresses these issues. Other than that he's fair but a bit monotone in his presentation.

Very quiet professor. Has not taught me a thing. Be prepared to learn on your own. Very good grader, he is reasonable and gives excellent feedback.

Although he's a new teacher at Depaul, he knows his stuff very well. The homeworks are pretty straightforward if you follow directions. I got a B+ but I could have studied for the midterm more. He gives good tutorial videos on how to install the software required for the course.

Prof Walker is a dry speaker, this is clearly reflected in his monotone drawl when he reads over slides. His grading criteria is okay, I just wished he'd reveal his full hand so I know what I am truly being graded on for all assignments. He doesn't emphasize anything which makes lectures forgettable and useless at times. There's also no textbook.

I had a great experience in his class, and while lectures were dull sometimes that's sort of the nature of the material. He would always respond to my DM's within minutes on slack, and he was always able to get on zoom for extra help. One of the nicest/most caring teachers I've had at DePaul. Project was the hardest part bc of meh documentation.

Im laughing at the other ratings because they are all spot on. Dan seems like a great guy,knows his stuff; but is REALLY horrible at teaching. He has 120+ page powerpoints with just a few key points to major ideas and he just casually reads them off as if we're supped to know what he's talking about. You'll end up teaching yourself if you take him

While he was not the greatest at teaching or explaining things in lecture, he did an awesome job about exams and making sure that they were straight to the point.  If you study the material as you should and prepare all notes as you need, you can excel at the exams.  The homework assignments were enjoyable.  I learned a lot from this class.
