He definitely cares a lot about his students and responds fast to help you when you're missing class or struggling with an assignment. The only thing I'd say is that he does sometimes go off topic in class that isn't really relevant to the topics we learn but other than that take this class if you want an intro to coding!

His lectures can be confusing sometimes, but he's such a sweet person. He just tends to go a bit fast, but as long as you know someone in the class you'll be fine. He offers lots of grace points, so it's very doable to get an A in the class.

Literally just go to class bro, there's no reason why anyone should get under 100% in this class, you're entire grade is just coding random stuff in lectures. pretty long and boring lectures but really easy a

Amazing professor!! Very easy class, if you need the Quant A credit, take this class with him. All you have to do is go to the lecture, follow along with him, and do the out-of-class short assignment, and you will get an A. He gives 200 extra points in the beginning, middle, and end. Attendance is mandatory. TAKE THE CLASS WITH HIM!!

this class was frustratingly easy. genuinely annoyed that i had to go to lecture bc i could teach it to myself w a few google searches. take for an A but be prepared to listen to him monologue about nothing for 1.5 hrs. trust its more annoying than u think.
