GB 307 has 2 professors, he covered the first half, I really liked him!! He is helpful in office hours and I thought the material was interesting, but you do need to put time into the class watching his lectures and doing the weekly activities. I learned a lot in the class and thought he was a really nice, cool professor!Rate My Professors ↗
His lectures were fairly interactive even in this virtual format. I think he does a pretty good job of explaining the concepts. He is a bit of a hardo though and over the top in what he expects you to know for certain concepts. His midterm is a time crunch, so make sure to do his practice exams. I made silly mistakes on the midterm. Practice SQLRate My Professors ↗
Firstly, rick-rolled the whole class by faking that he leaked the exam answers. It was really funny. But he is a great dude who makes the content mostly understandable. There are a lot of videos/lectures each week though but they aren't too bad. There are also some long "quizzes" that you can work on with friends. Overall, solid choice.Rate My Professors ↗
Hoban is a very good lecturer. He wants to make sure his students get the material, and is extremely helpful if you ask questions. Very nice guy, and a good teacherRate My Professors ↗
Paul is an interesting guy, but his lectures are kind of a mess. He moves quickly, flipping through slides and excel examples. It's impossible to keep up. The average score on his midterm was a D. Make sure you take the weekly activities seriously and do the prep work.Rate My Professors ↗
I liked Paul a lot more than the prof for the 2nd half of the course (they switch). 25% of your grade comes from the weekly CLC activities, 50% comes from the 2 exams, 20% comes from the 2 hw assignments, and 5% comes from the weekly quizzes (very simple). Exams are hard, the average for the midterm was a D. Hard class, but doable. Easier than 306!Rate My Professors ↗
