    "comment": "(ECE 204) Dimitris was an alright lecturer, but this class is designed for people who've coded before even though the syllabus says it isn't a prerequisite. Lectures go pretty fast if you haven't ever coded before, but that seems common for comp sci classes here. He has a bit of an accent too.",

    "comment": "This class is very difficult, and Dimitris managed to make it chewable and taught it well. The reversed format of the class worked well with him and the other prof answering any questions about the material on the exercises. He was also really helpful in office hours and concisely answered questions about problems on the exam and homework.",

I understand that he may be excited about this technology but it was not relevant to the course and I felt like I was not getting the most out of my education. I expect my teachers to prioritize teaching the course material and helping me learn.",

He makes concise (usually 5-15min for each period) videos with clear presentation slides. Activity problems are very reasonable and guide you learning. Review sessions are given before exams and unexpected problems rarely occur.",
