Told me that going over an exam question that I got wrong was a waste of his time because the TA graded my exam. Only used lecture videos from ten years ago to deliver course content and often times had us come up with our own practice problems during lecture. It was very obvious that he just did not care at all about teaching us.Rate My Professors ↗
Lectures for this class were pointless. Didn't learn a single thing from them and had to get help from a TA outside of class, and even the TA wasn't much help. Was very unclear what the content of the exams were going to be, and the examples in class did virtually nothing to prepare us. Avoid this class if you can.Rate My Professors ↗
Lecture is pointless, but you're graded on participation so you have to go. Random surprise grades for lab. Class just sucks.Rate My Professors ↗
If you want him to ask you a question, he never tells you if your answer is correct, he only asks the question he wants to ask. This method of learning is of no use to me. Studying with him is a waste of time, and he makes you feel very unsure of yourself, which I really mind.Rate My Professors ↗
Mean and bad at teaching. Somehow manages to make you feel stupid and not teach you at the same time.Rate My Professors ↗
Does not do a good job at teaching.Rate My Professors ↗
