David Van Horn CMSC131A Expecting a B Anonymous 05/09/2018	The good: This guy is very knowledgeable about programming languages, he even wrote some textbooks about them. He is very clear on what he wants and is always willing to answer questions. Sometimes he can be generous with bonus points with quizzes and other things. He can be low key funny af sometimes but is mostly monotone. Also dis man look like lil dickey bro lmao. The bad: Expectations are wayyyyyy too high for his students in 131A who are supposed to be beginners to CS. His lectures are boring and have little engagement. Some of his assignments can be straight up disgusting and will destroy your will to live. He can be very inconsistent with posting assignments and notes.
