CollegeAwful professor. Expects everyone to be an expert in coding and calculus and doesn't accommodate for those who aren't. Posts lecture videos to watch outside class, then lectures the entire class period, then assigns coding and quizzes. Expectations for the midterms are wildly unclear. If you don't have coding experience- buckle up.
Louis genuinely wants everyone to succeed. I was terrified going into this class bc I had no coding experience and hadn't taken calc for 2+ years. Definitely challenging and forces you to think and approach problems differently, but I really felt like I improved over the quarter and was able to walk away with an A. Put in the work & you'll be ok
The exams are basically impossible to do well on b/c they're open-ended & you're expected to hit certain points that are not clear. You can know the material super well & still get C's on the exams because they're graded so specifically. Also, super lab technique heavy which was so hard bc a lot of us had never even stepped foot in a lab (COVID).
Gardner is an ok professor at best. Her exams are extremely long and basically undoable. She either has a difficult time answering questions in class or she just doesn't answer them at all. Really inexperienced and doesn't seem to care much about teaching. There are many more professors out there that listen to feedback and care.
