Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is very reachable if students do the projects and use revision opportunities, but it is not effortless.
Online reviews show more deadline flexibility, while in-person reviews add stronger warnings about project difficulty.
Is the course easy?
The course is approachable with his support, but C++ projects can be hard for students without prior programming confidence.
Online reviews describe a smoother path, while in-person reviews are easy for prepared students but tougher for weaker programmers.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance expectations differ by section, with many reviews marking attendance as optional and several marking it mandatory.
Online reviews consistently show no mandatory attendance, while in-person attendance varies.
Is this professor recommended?
Students recommend him because he gives unusually detailed feedback, cares deeply, and makes difficult material learnable.
Both formats are strongly recommended, with online reviews slightly more consistent and in-person reviews slightly more workload-sensitive.
