Reviews of professor Curtis D'Alves

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very knowledgeable and good at explaining complicated concepts for beginners. Encouraged me to continue in computer science and was eager to give advice on how to get a career as a software developer

Curtis is the best prof in compsci faculty, he knows everything and is willing to help. Enjoy this course so much, got an A with not that much effort.

Didn't teach the material needed for 1st assignment before it was due. Refused to give the lecture slides for the first month of class. Tutorials were nothing more than taking up assignments for participation marks. NO practice problems or labs where you are taught HOW to program in Elm. He is condescending and does not foster a good environment.

This course is way harder than I thought. I cannot follow up with it. His lectures and labs make me mess up everything.

Computer science is a hard program, and he even makes it way harder. Heavy lectures all the time. When you ask him questions, he does not explain in details. He doesn't explain things in details, it makes it pretty hard for beginners. He expects advanced computer science students to be in his class.

The course is not organized at all, TAs and prof seem like they are not working together. Also, the prof is not helpful, and not approachable.

Not an understanding guy at all. Comes off as very condescending and hard to reach out to. Little to no helpfulness and even less encouragement.
