Easily the best prof I have ever had and I hope I'm able to take later CS classes from prof. Dodds. He is enthusiastic and makes you want to learn CS! I went in taking it because I had to for my major but somehow fell in love with CS and am planning to duel major with it now. BEST PROF EVER!

Prof Dodds is literally the most amazing professor in the world. He cares so deeply for every student (even though there are about 150 students in one section). He's always available to give advice or help. 3

Comment:

Put it this way: I honestly don't think it's possible for a professor to be better than Dodds. He has attained the perfect levels of informative lecture style, humor, understanding, approachability--you name it. And he freaking learns the names of all the students in a 150+ size class! Amazing. And almost a guaranteed A if you put in the work.

Good class - a step up from CS5 (although you can still finish the HW the night before!). He is, as usual, cheerful, interesting, and nice. The lectures were pretty good, although you definitely have to think through some things very carefully.

Prof Dodds is by far one of the best professors at Mudd, and quite possibly at all of the five Claremont Colleges as well. He is kind, genuine, and makes learning a difficult subject fun.

Dodds is the best. Enthusiastic, intelligent, and somehow remembers most names in a class with 100+ students. You'll want to take more CS with him for sure.
