ENME441 was really enjoyable right up until the final project. I had DeVoe for 202 as well, so I knew going in that he is great at teaching coding. The lectures for this course were a bit more boring than in 202, and most people did not really pay attention to them. The labs could be difficult, but they felt very worthwhile and I definitely could feel myself learning Python and mechatronics in general. The final project was really, really time consuming, and didn't really work out at all. Nobody's project worked, the instructions had to be edited multiple times, and he ended up just giving everyone an A and admitting defeat on it. It was pretty frustrating to work so hard for no end result, but I think he will try to improve this for future semesters. Overall, I highly recommend DeVoe as a professor and even would recommend 441 despite the frustrating project experience.

Lecturing on how to code is never easy. He put in a lot of effort though. We had a lot of technical difficulties this semester. He never let things outside of our control (technical difficulties, his errors, etc) affect our grades and he granted extensions for the class often. If you reach out he'll likely accommodate you. The class was challenging, but fun. I hardly listened to lectures because they were so hard to pay attention to and learn from. Lecture slides are your friend.
