Best professor in the cs department. He truly cared about his students and wanted everyone to succeed. Provided a lot of extra credit opportunities and assignment extensions during the stressful era of covid. I'm sure putting the projects from this class on my resume grabbed attention of a lot of companies. You get to learn js, react and dialogflowRate My Professors ↗

Professor Mutlu's lectures are engaging, that I never missed any of them even though I'm one of those "slackers". I still remember his "pep talk" which gave me confidence to succeed in this class. I've landed an internship at a big tech company thanks to React (Native), and DialogFlow experience from class projects. I wish he taught more classes...

in online class, be prepared to teach yourself everything. they teach you the basics of react/js and expect full working algorithms done in a week. tons of homework, but it helps balance out grades. they were good with accommodating extensions, but no curve for final grades. if you have no experience in user design it will be roughRate My Professors ↗

Bilge is a phenomenal professor. UI is a course that needs to be offered and he created this course from scratch because he cares, not because he has to. Some people will say this is a hard class, but it's probably just their first 500+ level course. Bilge even helped me land a research position. 10/10 professor.Rate My Professors ↗

HW not well designed. I believe that this course should be helping us to bulid UI, but not to challenge us with programming. As a CS student, it's important to solve these issue ourselves for sure. However, you may face a bunch of confusion bugs if you are a beginner of js, react. Though I'm able to solve them, it's really a waste of time.Rate My Professors ↗

Building User Interfaces is the best CS course I have taken in UW-Madison yet. The lesson I gained from this course is so valuable and I would not have landed my internship if not because of the knowledge and skills I gained from the course. He truly cares about his students and the there're pretty much office hours any hour during the week.Rate My Professors ↗
