Reviews
Professor Chodrow is an excellent teacher, always well-prepared for lectures with engaging and educational materials. His class was flipped, so we would learn Python in the pre-recorded videos, then go over examples and questions in lecture. This was a very effective teaching style, if you kept up with the videos.
To help keep you accounted for the videos, there were also short quizzes every lecture day (don't worry—they weren't worth that much, and quite a few could be dropped) to test your knowledge of the material, and keep you on pace.
Professor Chodrow was also extremely helpful in office hours, providing helpful suggestions for class materials, as well as insightful advice on career choices. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Professor Chodrow and would easily take another class with him.
