Phil Chodrow

I experienced Prof. Chodrow as a compassionate person and a good lecturer who deeply cares about students and their success. The course material can feel a bit unforgiving for people with an aversion to math like myself, but if you put in the work, you can get a good grade. Notes: He runs a flipped classroom and unconventional grading system, so I recommend familiarising yourself with both sooner rather than later.

Computer Science 0200 by Prof Phil employed a flipped classroom, which requires students to learn course material before class meetings. And during class meetings, students are organized to certain class activities, such as group problem solving. Prof Chodrow gave medium amount of course materials to study before every class, so students are expected to study gradually instead of studying 1 or 2 nights before exams. Since this class is math-related and I have personally studied part of the course material, it is not too hard to follow up. But getting an A is still considered pretty hard, since students are expected to get 18/20 learning targets to get an A. Comparatively, A- is a little bit easier.

I really enjoyed this class. I didn't always love the "flipped classroom" (watched video lectures on our own and did examples in class) because sometimes the videos weren't clear, but I did like the grading style, where we had to hit a certain number of learning targets by the end of the year, so it was okay to not do as well on an individual quiz because grading was cumulative.
