Reviews of professor Patrick Ward

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Doesn't seem to know what he's teaching, like he's reading the powerpoint presentation for the first time. Does not explain any concepts. You will have to teach yourself everything, as the book is pretty convoluted as well. I don't recommend this professor.

He is a very knowledgeable about the areas he teaches, he gives a lot of quizzes, and will typically go over them after. When he gives open ended questions, he reads each response and tries to give you as much credit as he can. He makes the course hard but then tries to work with you. His lectures are solid, you will read the book heavily.
