Michael Linderman

Professor Linderman is an amazing professor. The course itself is an expectedly structured cs class. Homework can be hard at times but it is easy to find help from professor Linderman. This course is very accurately described as "what you put in is what you get."

This class is very fast paced, and you are going to need to devote a lot of time to it outside of class. Content from lectures are really hard to keep up with so you will need to look at the slides again after class. Also, you will need to teach yourself how to use a lot of software that you've probably never used before.

Whether you have some or no coding experience, this is a great course to introduce anyone with any interest the Python programming language. Professor Linderman always comes in with enthusiasm and rolls with it the entire time. He will give his goofy one-liners every once in a while which shows that CS guys aren't completely dead inside. Outside of class, it is expected that you read a small section before class and complete the weekly projects that you have two weeks to resubmit for full credit. During class, Linderman lectures about the material, has interactive examples and discussions, and, on lab days, you take a quiz for 15 minutes and then work on two programming questions based on the material learned that week with a small group. Overall, after only taking AP CSP in high school, this was a good review of the material I had previously learned.
