Reviews of professor Akito van Troyer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Akito is a great professor, he keeps the class super interesting and challenging but is very patient and always takes the time to explain the hard concepts to beginners and when we have problems. I felt welcomed and engaged in the class

Akito is one of my fav professors at Berklee. He is organized and super clear in classwork. This class is definitely hard if you don't have any programming background. But it's a valuable time for the person who is interested in programming and wants to engage at Berklee. If you're thinking about it, grab him!

He's one of the most patient and kindest professors I've ever had. He knows a lot and the structure of his lesson  (involving you to solve problems in front of everyone) kind of forces you to learn. You'll probably remember what a VCA is ten years later thanks to Akito. Not a tough grader if you try hard, he'll appreciate your efforts.

I've had Professor Van Troyer for almost three years now and I've enjoyed every second of it. Sure he's a tough grader but there's nothing in any problem set or project that he has you do that hasn't already been done in class. He's easy to reach and talk to during office hour and here you can get really stellar information and tutelage.

Akito is awesome, very knowledgable about the subject matter and very good at teaching you how to code. Also one of the only professors I have had here that actually updates grades as they should be and uses the OL, A+ for that. Hard on attendance and grading in general though, if you're even 1 minute late one week that will bring your grade down.

Akito is easily one of the most amazing professors at Berklee. His lectures are well prepared, engaging, and informative, making three hours of class time feel like only one hour. He's tough on grading, so be prepared to work hard, but you will learn a lot from doing his assignments and projects properly.

Akito is an excellent audio programminv teacher, whether you're new to programming or you started in high school. The class material is difficult for sure, but Akito is extremely thorough with his teachings.
