Reviews of professor Michael Cormier

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Cormier is a newer prof, so his assignments, lectures and tests are not as refined as some other profs. His lectures are quite bland, he reads off the slides, and makes a few jokes. Where he shines is his office hours, where he is beyond helpful, and his response to student feedback. He really is trying to improve, and it shows every year!

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Cormier seems new to teaching, and did improve throughout the semester. His lectures were very dull, but if you missed something or didn't understand he is quite helpful during office hours. The labs were fast passed and well thought out (after the first few). He allows a reference sheet on tests.

Micheal seems to be challenged by numerous things. Number one is making clear and concise lectures to his students. In the entire course, we did a total of 6 demos. For a computer science course, that is nothing, and is not effective for students to learn! 90% of the stuff he will ask on midterms, finals and labs is NOT covered in class!

He is one of the most intelligent profs I have ever seen. Great lectures, very clear on what he wants. Helps a lot during the labs.

Dr. Cormier is new to teaching and his lectures improved throughout the semester. He is very reasonable. He is great during office hours. Very approachable.

I've emailed and texted him many times about certain assignments which many students have been struggling on. He would read it on teams, and I could see that he read it, and would simply not reply. When I asked him about it in person or in class, he would say talk to the Teaching Assistants or go to the help center. Both things could not help.
