Computer Science

This class just was not particularly interesting to me, and I felt like the homework was graded on an extreme. He graded it as a 100 or 0, so there is no room for partial credit. It wasn't my favorite style. Pete is great though, very enthusiastic and kind.

Professor Kimmel follows an objectives based grading system which is very forgiving and allows for reattempts on skills. Lectures are very foundational but often leave out a lot of intuition which usually needs to be supplemented with office hours or external learning in some manner.

Prof Andrews was very enthusiastic about comp sci, but the course was nearly impossible. The grading system is too confusing and rigid; you spend more time trying to get the autograder to accept your answer rather than actually learning the course content. The challenges were definitely a challenge, but they were too time-consuming and frustrating. I've had previous experience with Python, but still found the content hard. I think the content is super valuable if you are looking to pursue a STEM field, but take it with a different professor or once they restructure the class (if they do).
