Christopher Andrews
This course was rough and it should not have been. Professor Andrews seemed to enter with the expectation that students who had never coded before would be able to create understanding that was never covered in class. He also held a near obsession with catching students cheating while still offering none of the help in office hours or actual teaching in class to figure out how to do the thing without outside sources, which were forbidden. On top of that, the grading policy was full credit or no credit, which was ridiculous.

This class was such a trip. It is designed for students who have no previous background in comp sci but i was still STRUGGLING. the lectures are boring, and its easy to not pay attention. course assistants are very helpful though!
I had professor Briggs, who wasn't listed. This class was pretty easy. The material was a little bit challenging for a true beginner like myself, but the quizzes and tests were pretty easy. The professor allowed cheat sheets on the tests but you hardly needed it. Weekly homeworks and labs but nothing you can't deal with
