Awful

I took a 5-week distance learning class with Prof. Duran. It was entirely self-taught because he doesn't interact with us at all. He entertains emails, but his responses do not make sense at all. Syllabus was also useless. You get 10+ weekly assignments with addition of a test or two. I wouldn't recommend him at all.

Awful

I was so frustrated with this class because there were so many homework tasks that took away the fun of learning. Every week, we had to read the chapter, take a quiz, complete two assignments, and prepare for the final project. He didn't allow late work, didn't offer good feedback about how to do proper coding, and didn't care about the COVID-19 situation.
