Prof Miller is inspirational! Though slides are a bit wordy, his project feedback is amazing. He shares great CS history and pushes you to explain your code well. Highly recommend the Raspberry Pi Pico research option with fellows. You can earn extra credit by staying on top of labs and homework. The class uses Python.CS5001 2026-02-02 10:14:48 +0000 UTC
Mark led the lab for another class. He came to every lecture despite it not being required and ensured he was always available for help and questions. His teaching style leaves a little to be desired but he more than makes up for it with his desire to ensure you understand and have all of your questions answered.CS5005 2019-07-30 02:08:12 +0000 UTC
Great professor. One of few who has experience witnessing the development of the computer science industry. The class includes pico which is quite interesting. if you are really into tech he is the right professor. PS: he will introduce you to other professors of other opportunities.CS5001 2024-01-10 21:19:56 +0000 UTC
Mark is dedicated, approachable and tries his best to be helpful. But exam and hw questions are too wordy and sometimes misleading. Expectations are not clearly communicated and lack of insights on current topics in the field. Lectures are less vital than your own efforts, you need to study a lot on your own time to grasp the course materials.CS5001 2023-09-12 14:52:53 +0000 UTC
Pro: He cares about his students a lot and he is very knowledgeable. He will listen to his student and make improvements accordingly, but there's still a big learning curve. He will reply to your email asap. Very active on piazza Con: The class is unorganized. Unclear instructions for assignments and quizzes. boring lecturesCS5001 2021-01-19 05:31:08 +0000 UTC
Mark spends only 30% of class time on teaching coding. The other 70% was spent on logistics that were unimportant. So I didn't learn much from him.CS5001 2020-09-22 01:38:19 +0000 UTC
