Professor Zoet is one of the clearest instructors I've had at UW. His lectures are well organized and full of real-world examples that make the material easy to connect with. The quiz and exam questions were taken straight from the lecture slides, which were provided.Rate My Professors ↗

Does not care about his students. If you are preforming badly and attend office hours he will not help you. Enjoys seeing his students do poorly. The exam questions are worded difficultly and use terms like "all EXCEPT". Slides are frustrating to understand. No notes or assignments throughout the week but exams are extremely difficult.Rate My Professors ↗

Interesting class and Dr. Zoet did a good job delivering the material. The quizzes had some fairly random questions but you get three tries to complete them so it's pretty easy to get all the points. Sometimes his lectures move quite slow.Rate My Professors ↗

He was a great lecturer, and made the material easier to understand. The class is rather tough, so be prepared, especially when Annie Baur is co-teaching. Lukes lectures were much more class friendly and was more open to questions and in general a good lecturerRate My Professors ↗
