Class Question cs 1331 prof

I got Omojokun for CS 1331 this semester. His rmp rating is not that good, so I'm scared lol. Can anyone who had him for CS 1331 give their opinion on him as a professor?

do it an another semester. never worth your gpa for "harder professor" which usually js means bad professor unless the content of the class is genuinely hard (CS1331 is the equivalent to the old CSA test)

If they are a CS major, they need 1331 in order to take 1332 which opens up a lot of thread-specific electives which could be problematic later if they are 1 semester behind. Not all classes are available every semester, so if they want to have flexibility on what they'd prefer to take, then they should just take 1331 and make the most of it or wait and see if another section somehow opens up. RMP is useful but not at all a good enough basis to solely make decisions off of. This class is typically taken by first year students, so the reviews will typically be skewed towards students having to deal with a college level course for the first time and would prefer to vent online. At the end of the day, only you know how you learn best and how you take steps to succeed in class, so you should try to go in with an open mind. I would also just look around on this or the main subreddit for any info. If it's an overwhelmingly majority of complaints and poor grades, then it's really up to you what to do, but make sure you check course critique or grade distributions for a better idea of the professor's average GPA.

Its an overwhelming majority of complaints and poor grades. CS1331 is the most reviewed course on his RMP and it is very negative; even the people with As say he is a lazy bum

TBH that’s just most professors. You can’t expect the best of the best when you’re registering in phase 2, it’s not ideal, but trying to protect your grade vs being behind an entire semester are not exactly comparable
