This was for video game design, a special topics class in CCS. Richert was amazing. Prioritized projects where students can explore their interests, interacted with students, and gave good feedback/explanation. He is good at explaining concepts in a simple, clear way. If you have the opportunity to take his class, please do so.
Homework was easy but there was a decent amount of it (for the first few weeks, tones down in the latter third). Quizzes are a little harshly graded but overall very clear in expectations and content for the class.
He is probably the best lecturer I've had so far. Very clear and easy to understand, very caring and nice. He doesn't use Canvas and you have to buy the online textbook, but is easy to contact and gives good feedback. Quizzes every 2 weeks that range in difficulty but aren't awful. Final wasn't too bad. Absolutely take him if you have the option.
MY GOAT!! He explained lectures really well and would work with you so well. If you get the chance, choose him!!
I took his class for CS9, and honestly a great overall experience. He is very good at making hard concepts make sense. He is always very professional, and his github for the course has all you would ever need and more to succeed in his class. He posts all of his recorded lectures which is very awesome!
Tough class with the new syllabus (70% of your grade determined by written exams) There are plenty of office hours for help on labs/hw due every week. Professor Wang knows his stuff, so is very important to attend lecture/watch recordings and read the textbook to pass the class, since it is very conceptual and there was only a small curve.
