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 dialogflow
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 rough
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.
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.
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.
I took his UX course and this course is the turning point in my CS studies. I did spend countless hours on projects because not everything is covered in lectures, but they were the most rewarding experiences among all of my CS projects. Definitely recommend if you are interested in putting yourself in users' shoes and learn the basics of UX dev.
Even though his lectures are fast, he's one of the best comp sci teachers at UW-Madison. The homeworks are thorough, which reinforces your knowledge of the material needed for real-world front-end, ui building. The class takes a lot of time, but it's really rewarding once you get everything working.
He only teaches how to write a hello world header using react and then expects us to come up with a fully functional course scheduler and recommender program within a week. Completely unfair.
His class is a complete scam and a waste of your tuition. Prepare to hear a lot of look it up comments. Youll be learning more from YouTube than him
Amazing professor. The class was super interesting and useful. He was super good at explaining things and was really helpful during office hours
Best lecturer I've had at UW Madison. I really enjoyed "Building User Interfaces", and I learned a lot from the class (JS, React, React Native, Dialogflow). It was very project heavy, and extremely time consuming. I really recommend this class if you are considering frontend development!
This is the first time Building User Interfaces has been taught and it showed. The course had some cool topics that are really applicable but the mandatory lectures can be tough. There are design lectures that consist of lists of principles you are expected to basically memorize. The rest is coding in React which is not interesting in lecture form.
