Aaron Tucker

a teacher before a professor honestly, sets every student up for success, always responds to emails and makes time for extra office hours if need be, literally learned everyone's name -- the only way to mess up with Tucker is to literally try to fail (plus, literally wrote the textbook so it can be free to his students)

Extremely kind and compassionate prof. Clear lecturer and gives extensive feedback. Easy to do well as long as you attend lectures, do the homework, and listen to feedback. Wayyyy too much content about AI though it didn't interest me in the slightest and there were hardly any other options (if any) for assignments.

Professor Tucker saw each student as an individual, and if you asked for help he would provide it. Plenty of chances to do well in the course, and he would explain his feedback to you clearly and in detail. Very clear with what he expects from you, and will go over it in class to make sure everybody understands. Overall, a great professor.

He's definitely one of the best teachers I've ever had! There will be homework every week but it isn't anything too unmanageable and is always based on the prior week's hw. He was also super kind and accommodating to me throughout the semester so I highly recommend!!! :)

The only way someone could do poorly in this class is if they ignored the MANY opportunities for help the professor provides. He treats every student as an individual and will explain his feedback in detail if you ask. He took my writing from barely passable at a high school level to something I can use in university. Go to class and ask questions.

Professor Tucker genuinely cares about his students. This is a hard course but he makes it impossible for you to fail as he gives a lot of help and lots of useful feedback. For as long as you attend the class you will be fine as he is always willing to provide extra help for his students.

He is a really caring teacher who genuinely wants the best for his students. The course itself is quite hard though, so don't expect an easy A. Even though the lectures aren't mandatory, they're really helpful and you will definitely do better in the course if you go! He definitely made the course more enjoyable for me!

This course is so boring. He is nice in person, weirdly rude over email and in feedback. The entire course he repeated the same thing over again and EVERY topic is the same. This course should be called "intro to AI" because you will ONLY learn about ChatGPT and AI. The lecture is 3 hours long which i didn't feel was necessary. AVOID.

One of the best prof I ever had. Remember to attend all the lectures and finish all the homework, and you will get a good grade.

Very supportive and always encourages students to ask questions and go to his office hours. High expectations when grading papers. Can get a bit close physically during 1 on 1 questions if you aren't comfortable with that, but not out of malice. Overall, professor has high expectations that he clearly sets out, but may be hard to meet grade wise.
