Michael is very kind and responsive. He is very accommodating. The class is all based one one group project. Some of the deadlines are unclear and the project is sometimes just busywork but overall an easy class. You can learn if you choose to.Rate My Professors ↗
Michael is a fine teacher. There are a lot of random deadlines and rubrics for grading are not clear. The course itself is not difficult.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Maguire is one of the most kind and understanding professors I have ever had. He is approachable, friendly, and accommodating. He clearly cares about his students and is a genuinely good person. The coursework is pretty straightforward and not too difficult. I highly recommend this class, especially if you need a CSCS for a SoHE major.Rate My Professors ↗
It's not hard to do well, just show up and do the work that's expected. Pretty straightforward!Rate My Professors ↗
So kind and helpful outside of class, lots of writing but very easy assignments. Very vague on assignments and not much material to learn in the online format so I struggled to know what to write about. Would def take another class again but would want it in person. Easy to get a good grade, very understanding Professor if you need an exceptionRate My Professors ↗
Professor Maguire cares a lot but this class was very frustrating online. There are a lot of looming deadlines, big projects/papers, and a lot of writing to do. We only had a few mandatory class sessions and making the class asynchronous was not a good idea. I do not recommend taking this class if you are not a CNPL major.Rate My Professors ↗
