Class Reviews
- For me this course became very helpful as professor was always available via office hours and during lecture as well. I can't thank enough for clearing my all doubts and guiding me. Thank you so much professor.
- Cared about our learning journey
- Professor Takats had enthusiasm and patience teaching the course materials. I really appreciated the speed of the course as an HCI student with no experience in web development; I would imagine the course is fairly slow for Software Engineering students or others with a coding-heavy background, however. I also appreciated that he's honest when he's not sure about a particular question, and welcomes learning opportunities from students as well, many of whom have experience working in Web careers.
- I absolutely loved how Professor Takats taught the class. Maybe it is because I needed a refresher on web development, but I appreciated the pace of the class.
- He was supportive in and out of class. He provided resources when needed and was willing to assist the student at all times. Overall, he was a mentor figure for me.
