About this rating

Raw average: 4.69/5 from 16 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
BEST professor ever! Not only does he have a kind heart and a good life philosophy (you'll see throughout the class), but those aren't the main reasons I'm giving him a 5. The real reason is he brought amazing donuts to the final exam ;)

Dan is a great professor who knows a lot about parallel computing both on CPU and GPU. Lectures and homeworks are well designed; lots of room to explore parallel computing with the final project. I really liked that lecture recordings were made available as well. Great class/great professor/great guy.
