I have not listed courses that I have taken through dual-enrollment or high school AP credit. I highly recommend taking professors for the classes that I have rated a 4 or 5.

Professor was in the hospital for a while, so we had to cram a lot of content towards the end. Zybooks-based class. Exams were multiple choice and moderately difficult.

Extremely disorganized. He took notes on Microsoft Notepad. He does not use his lecture slides, but they are there if you want to (they are abysmal; recycled and cluttered with more information than necessary).

The subject itself is difficult. He did not offer partial credit for the exams.

She did her notes on a notepad. Her TA grades harshly and sometimes even unfairly. Homework assignments are very difficult. The only good thing about this class was the exams because she provided a study guide before them.

Introduction to Machine Learning
Nicholas Ruozzi
3/5
His homework assignments revolve around implementing machine learning techniques from scratch, which is really cool but difficult. Exams are extremely difficult, being entirely free response and connecting all topics together. You can’t really do well just by studying the lecture slides. This was by far the hardest class I have ever taken in my life.

Homework deadlines and exams were based off of class consensus. The professor was extremely understandable and offered late days for submission. Study guides were provided beforehand, and mirrored the same format and question types as the exams.

The amount of homework snowballs rapidly, especially when the time approaches to code out the group project and study for the exams. The class was fairly disorganized and did not utilize good slides.
