Computer Science

I had Prof. Briggs, who isn’t listed here, but overall the class was okay. The material itself wasn’t too difficult, and Prof. Briggs is really nice, though her teaching style didn’t always work for me and I sometimes struggled to keep up in class. The weekly quizzes and midterms were pretty chill, but there’s one big homework assignment each week that can be time-consuming.

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 very helpful for someone who has no background in CS. Although a lot of the material can be overwhelming, the homework, labs, and grad assistance makes the course manageable. If you use your resources, this class is a great way to get into computer science.
