Reviews don't accurately represent this course in my opinion. The concepts were understandable with a little bit of effort on the student's part. He held live sessions to answer questions and explain concepts and even gave us a pass on some of the quizzes where we would get free points. I enjoyed it. Just wish there were recorded lectures for students to view.

Python course is straightforward with helpful resources and clear assignment expectations. Very reasonable workload.

Instructor didn’t teach a thing. He puts out power point slides every week, additional reading materials, and gives assignments. The TAs grade the assignments. There is also a final project that I spent weeks on, just to have it not graded. The professor didn’t communicate that either, he just submitted final grades without even touching our final projects. I wasted so much time on it. I don’t know what he does, but he sure does not lift a finger to be a part of this class.

If you are great at Python you should be fine in his class. If you are bad or mediocre at python he won't do you any favors. Choose Aric Bills.

Do not take. Very rude to students and generally aloof.

Mainly gave lab based assignments until the midterm which was lecture heavy. Lecture slides lacked context and explanation.

not sure why there's the hate in the some of these reviews... professor was very clear that the course was going to be asynchronous from the beginning. and whenever i did go to lecture he was really helpful and nice. i didn't have to waste time going to lectures and labs for stuff i already knew or could easily google which saved me so much time. there were other in-person sections for 326 too, feel like some people would've just had a better experience there. honestly this was one of the best classes i've taken, but to each their own ig

Do not recommend this professor. Nice guy, but class relies entirely on reading slides, the textbook, and an optional lecture every 2 weeks. If you are not confident in your Python skills this is not the professor to take, you will likely fail. I have learned nothing from the course material and have to rely on google for learning. Office hours are constantly swamped. TA's are not helpful I have gotten responses such as "this is a simple concept to understand, re -read the question" downright degrading and unmotivating.

I do not recommend taking this professor as he uses previous course materials and expects you to work on assignments on things that have not even been taught yet.

DO NOT TAKE INST 311 WITH HIM! I literally almost failed my class and he never responds to any emails or gives any reasoning for a grade deduction.
