Will Pyle

Professor Pyle is a kind professor who enjoys the course content, but he does talk about random side stories a LOT. There were 3 exams for the class and a couple of homeworks. There was a debate in the course that required reflections and writing responses. He was a bit of a stickler on grading homeworks and exams.

Professor Pyle’s lectures were consistently straightforward and paced thoughtfully, with built-in pauses to revisit tricky concepts and take questions from the class. He often walked through examples step by step, which made even more technical material feel approachable. Assessments were aligned closely with what was emphasized in lecture and practice problems. Exam questions mirrored the style and difficulty of homework and in-class examples, and there were no surprises drawn from readings that had not been discussed.

The lectures were all clear and easy to follow, while allowing a significant amount of time for any questions that students had on specific content. The exams were very fair as Professor Pyle only tests students on material covered in his lectures or the homework. There was never any material on exams that was only covered in the textbook.
