Reviews of professor David Yurkowski

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Can't really go wrong with no textbook and no labs. The whole semester was kinda meh, and I felt like I didn't know what to do to get a better mark in the course at all. Note taking wasn't easy with the pace of the lectures, but the slides are posted after each class so you can review them on your own time. Guest lectures were interesting.

David is a pretty nice dude, always asks the class what they though of each test afterward, and tries to implement the suggestions that he receives. Lecture style isnt the best, but the information is there. The guest lectures are interesting. The assignments varied the most in marking. I put the same effort to each one but got anything from C-A+

Easier class that requires decent studying due to the amount of material. Grading and exams were fair and is accessible outside of class. Interesting guest lectures that are tested on.

The class slides are unclear and the diagrams are confusing. The exams use matching questions which is unfortunate. Just stick to multiple choice and short answer, otherwise things get complicated. The grader/marker for the class is also a bit harsh when grading assignments, especially with the poorly organised assignment descriptions.

5 reading reports (5% each) and 3 exams. Exams are multiple choice, true or false, matching, and short answer. He reads directly off of the slides during lectures, and has guest lectures occasionally. If you can take this course with someone else, do so, unless you enjoy re-reading slides at home.
