Christopher Andrews

Professor Andrews seems like the right professor for this class. He is very knowledgable especially with the topics covered in this class, and does a great job explaining it. This course in general is very difficult, not to the fault of Professor Andrews. The alternative grading style is works for this class as well, and fits the idea of abstraction that is the backbone of the course. The real bottleneck is the first exam/midterm exam which is much more important than you think it is. It really does determine your grade in the class (of course the final is the other half to this, however, many people were out of contention for an A/A- following the midterm itself).

This is a very heavy course in terms of workload. The programming assignments require solid coding skills—much more than what is required in data structures. When it comes to project deadlines, I spent entire weeks working on them. The teaching style is not really for me, as the lectures felt too fast-paced and lacked direct application to the projects. However, Prof. Andrews is very helpful during office hours.

Professor Andrews is a really good lecturer and I liked him a lot as a professor. He explains things clearly, posts great notes, and definitely puts effort into helping students understand the material. The class itself can feel pretty overwhelming at times just because there is a lot of content and it builds quickly. I also felt like the first exam comes pretty late in the semester, so it can feel more important than you expect. Overall, though, I thought he was a strong professor, and I appreciated how much support he gives through his lectures and notes.
