About this rating

Raw average: 1.00/5 from 2 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 1/5
Don't think I've ever seen a professor put less effort into a class. All the content is prerecorded and online. There is 1 quiz (unlimited attempts), 1 hw assignment, and 1 in class assignment per week all effectively completion grades by the TA. Only things that are actually graded is 2 exams and project. Class is beyond boring and feels useless.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 2/5
Worst professor I've had at UW-Madison. Doesn't seem to dedicate any time to the class itself. Already has premade lecture articles that replace live lectures and during the one live class a week, sends us into groups to do a worksheet that is then graded by a TA. Doesn't seem to care about his students. Smart but not good at teaching.
