Amazing Professor that keeps you intrested in a pain in the butt course. Extremely nice and lots of fun! And take this advice from someone who has taken and failed the course once... YOU WANT STALLWORTH OVER ANYONE ELSE!!!

He is the best professor who teaches 1371. The class itself is hard as hell, but that has nothing to do with Stallworth, since he is not the one who makes up the homeworks and tests. There are a lot of chances to make up points (labs, mini-quiz) in the class though. If nothing else, got to class and Cedric will always make u laugh. He is a blast.

A good teacher and a really funny guy. take him in if you want to have fun. test are prepared by TA's, but go to reviews and u should be good.

He is the best out of all the CS teachers. Lectures are by far the least boring. The class itself is hard as hell, but this former NFL player tries his best to make class enjoyable. Besides, all the teachers use the same tests and final anyway, so you might as well pick the most interesting professor.

The best CS1371 teacher. A must have. He is funny and both well paced and versed in the material. The tests are hard as hell but the staff will do their best to help you out. The class and homework overall are very time consuming. Be warned.

Awesome professor, he's a pretty good professor and he makes class very entertaining. Definitely try to get him if/when you take CS 1371 (and if you're an engineering major, you will). The class can be kinda tough if you don't pay attention and work at it though, just a warning.

Great teacher, makes cs tolerable. He knows how to explain concepts and show appropriate examples well. One of the best lectures, especially for a cs class.

Awesome and funny professor. I only attended his lectures to be entertained. MATLAB is tough at first but gets easier once you know the basics. Actually do the HW because you need to know how to code on the tests. Review sessions by the TAs are very helpful. Do well on the final and he replaces your poor test grades. Got an A in this class.

Awesome lecturer. The best you'll have for CS 1371. He's entertaining and explains concepts very well. Go to class, do the homework, and the review sessions you'll be fine. This is a very time-consuming class, so plan your schedule accordingly.

To do good in CS 1371, all you need to do is go to recitation and do your homework, nothing more. BUT Stallworth is a great teacher, and will make the class alot easier. His greatest trait is that he is very entertaining, while still very good at explaining concepts. You will not find a better CS professor than him.

He's a very good teacher -- makes sure to give lots of examples and demonstrations. Very personable as well, constantly tells funny stories when he has extra time in the lecture. My one complaint is that he doesn't communicate well with the TA's so he is often teaching material for homeworks that were already due.

Stallworth is a fantastic lecturer. Although I prefer Kantwon's lecture code, I find his lectures to be just as educational. He explains things well and teaches what you need to know for the homework and tests. On top of being good at teaching MatLab, Stallworth is a really entertaining and funny. I enjoy being in his class.

Stallworth really knows his stuff and is a solid prof for 1371. Kantwon is a little better but Stallworth is way better than having Smith. That said, the class is just difficult in general, but he makes lectures funny and entertaining. Go to class it makes it way easier.

Stallworth teaches it like it is. Get in, get out, get an A. Awesome dude who cares about learning and loves teaching CS. Do the homeworks, use the CS1371 website for data banks and review videos, and find a recitation with a good TA to go to to help learn the material even more. Just don't slack off and you'll have a good time.

Stallworth is an excellent professor. He makes his lectures very entertaining and engaging. He very clearly cares about his students and wants them to succeed.

CS1371 is really tough and time consuming. Kantwon and Stallworth are both solid choices.

His lectures are entertaining. He's good at explaining the basics, but a lot of learning takes place outside of class. He does go over the homework in class, which helps a lot.

Absolutely loved him for junior design and was such a treat! You could see he really cared about the students! 10/10 would recommend

Stallworth is a solid professor who teaches a really hard class. He tends to get off topic pretty frequently which can be pretty entertaining but isn't always super helpful. He's very personable and a solid choice for a 1371 professor.

Stallworth doesn't get the same hype as Kantwon, but he is nevertheless a great professor. I didn't go to class very often, but when I did I really enjoyed his lectures. He's very funny and can make a 300 person lecture hall feel like a more personal experience. Highly recommend taking.

Amazing professor! Lectures are as entertaining as Kantwon's and the content is the same. He gives a lot of help with home problems, so going to class is enjoyable and worthwhile, even though not required. Comment the hw problems to get extra credit and beaware that they can get pretty hard by the end of the semester, so plan ahead.

Stallworth was a great professor! It's important to note that this isn't an easy class and you will have to put work in. The tests are hard but reaosnable, and the homework gets pretty challenging as the semester goes on. Stallworth was a great lecturer and explained concepts very clearly. He also went over homework a lot which was nice.

Stallworth is way underrated among the CS1371 professors. The dude is a real 10/10. He teaches to really know MATLAB, and he always goes over that weeks homework on Fridays. He provides so many extra resources, and he's always available for questions. MATLAB can be a pain to learn, and Stallworth understands that. I would take him over Kantwon.

CS1371 is a tough class, especially for those without prior coding experience, but Stallworth makes it so much better. Lectures are educational and entertaining. Homework is tough, and there's lots of it but you usually have at least a week+ to do it. Tests are tough but fair, and the final is optional but can replace your two lowest test scores.

I entered this course with no prior coding experience. The class was a little rough at first, but eventually things started to click and I began to love computer science due to professor Stallworth's teaching style. Advice:attend recitation, start homework early, and use the CS1371 website for help. If you do this an A or B is possible.

A good professor and really knows how to teach MATLAB. But he is a tough grader, and it's not a good idea to take this course with him over the summer

I took this class remotely and to have no prior experience in programming it went great. There are lots of resources available to use and its good to always reach out to TAs or other classmates for help. Totally recommend Prof. Stallworth, he is very knowledgeable, experienced, explicit, and caring.

Awesome class! Stallworth will make you work for the grade, especially with the long and arduous weekly homework. TAs are super cool and very accessible, 10/10 would take again.

Prof. Stallworth is awesome. He definitely cares a lot about his students and is willing to work as hard as he needs to help you succeed. His explanations are thorough and he's been teaching the class for years so he's pretty understanding. He's also a fun guy - plays music and puts up a poll at lectures to keep things interesting. Would recommend.

He is good at giving real world examples for coding concepts and overall is a great teach for an intro to coding class. He projects his screen and goes through code and examples in MATLAB. The recitations are super helpful though when he forgets to mention a needed function for the hw & on Fridays he would go over helpful tips for HW.

Class is chill. Polls are fun. Cool guy but can be a little slow at times.

Stallworth was so good a professor that I ended up changing my major to CS. He's hilarious, a great lecturer, and his passion for the material was contagious. Everyone talks about how great Kantwon is an that's no doubt true, but Stallworth is not to be underestimated. He is a fabulous professor in every way

Cedric is pretty nice guy but is absurdly tough grader. He lacks clear grading criteria and absolutely horrific feedback. He'll cut off say 5-10 points and only write positives instead of telling us what to improve on. He is one of the better choices for JRD 2 so keep that in mind. He also put in grades pretty late this sem which was stressful

Very funny and engaging professor, however, don't rely solely on lecture material to complete the homework.

He's very nice, personable, and a great teacher. He was one of the only teachers whose lecture I enjoyed going to. Regardless, he would get off topic sometimes since he wanted to connect with us but he hits everything that needs to be taught. There is a lot of hard homework though so GO TO RECITATION and make sure to make friends to help on hwk.

If you have no previous coding experience, this will be a hard class. Otherwise, not terrible but a lot of work. He doesn't actually teach much in class, but he's very entertaining so you actually do pay attention to the stuff he does teach. He doesn't utilize class time well but the homework teaches you basically everything. Google will teach you.

One of my favorite teachers at Tech. Lectures are informative and easy to follow.

Professor Stallworth has to be my favorite professor at Georgia Tech. I had him for Matlab (1371) and he was fantastic. He lays out the course expectations clearly and is very organized with everything. I would highly recommend him.

I took this class in the Spring of 2021 when it was fully online, so I cannot speak to how he does as an in-person lecturer. However, he was an amazing professor. The lectures were extremely helpful. The homeworks were shared across all of 1371, but I was always fully prepared for the homeworks. I had never coded before 1371, and I had no troubles.

Was a great professor for an intro to programming class, he is clear on his grading criteria and offers the equivalent of half a letter grade on extra credit. On the down side professor Stallworth is known for going off in tangents and having a conflicting schedule. Recitation will be key, especially early in the semester to have good foundations.

Professor Stallworth's 1371 class was a great experience. Lectures are hilarious and are also geared towards doing well on the homework assignments which are worth a large part of the grade. If you have some experience with coding, you'll have no trouble, and if you don't, it's a great time to learn!

Honestly, I never went to lectures in this class and learned each week's worth of content in about an hour from the lecture notes, which were clear enough. Not super accessable outside of class or good with communication, and TA's carried the class to prepare for exams. Not a terrible professor, put in the work and you'll get an A.

Stallworth is an energetic, amazing lecturer who will teach you MATLAB and CS principles from the ground up. As a former NFL player and a dean in the COC, his lectures are energetic and engaging. I'd highly recommend attending them. He can be rather inaccessible outside of lecture, but is willing to answer questions afterwards.

I really liked this class and stallworth a lot!! it was super interesting and really satisfying when you get the code right. the homeworks take up time each week, but if you can complete the homework and practice problems, you can do well on the exams.

Great personality and loves to interact with students. Tends to go off-topic a lot, but we still get all of the material by the end of the lectures, and he answers any questions as they are asked throughout the lecture. I only attended ~50% of lectures, and still got all of the material I needed through the lecture notes posted in Canvas.

Stallworth's lectures were literally entertainment and mostly got the material across. He is very genuine and wants you to succeed, but he's not very accessible outside of class. The homework took a long time each week, but if you can do the homework, you are set for the tests.

CS 1100 is a pretty boring class honestly, the class is essentially just listening to Stallworth or a guest speaker talk about career advancement. Stallworth himself is super engaging, and about half the time brings in a really engaging guest as well. For a class where showing up is basically the whole deal, Stallworth does it right.

I'd never taken a CS class before this, but Stallworth made 1371 enjoyable. Sometimes the lectures can get dry, but Stallworth will at least throw in a joke or two to make it more bearable. If you actually do your homework, you'll be fine. This is not a hard class per se, it just takes some effort.

For CS 1371 all students will complete same homework and tests regardless of professor. Nice guy, tends to ramble, eventually covers all the important information. Having never coded before, he did a fine job of teaching the concepts and covering everything necessary for the course.

Very solid guy, went through Tech as a student too and understands the culture here better than most professors. While he does tend to ramble, he always eventually covers the course content. Super cool guy. His explanations are simplistic and clear, very good for those who don't know a ton about coding. Just do the homework and you'll be fine.

This class is solely homework and tests. All homework is structured the same for each unit. Stallworth knows what he is talking about and makes lecture enjoyable. He is a funny guy. There are lots of study aids available, final is optional and does not hurt your grade.

Professor Stallworth is an amazing person, and and I loved his class. However, I found it hard to pay attention to the actual material as he would sidetrack during class. If you can follow along with Stallworth, amazing, but because of my learning style I wasn't able to adapt, so I sat in on Kantwon's lectures instead.

His lectures aren't phenomenal, but he ultimately teaches you everything you need to know. The most important thing is to take advantage of the homework, because if you understand the homework problems then the exams should be easy. There is also extra credit in the form of some extra homework problems and recitation attendance.

got a 72 on the first midterm, but got 97s on the other two midterms. wouldn't say that stallworth helped me much, I found much better luck sitting in kantwon's lectures. i enjoyed how funny stallworth was and he occasionally had good rants. would show up 10-15 minutes late towards the end of the semester though. the final is optional :)

Professor Stallworth is a good professor, making this course as simple as possible. MATLAB as a coding language is not preferred, but he gives shortcuts to make it as easier. Within lectures, he adds a bit of humor and rants slightly. There are multiple chances for extra credit. I didn't need to go to recitation or the Friday lectures and did well.

Great guy. He spends most of lecture ranting about different things. MATLAB isnt neccesarily hard to learn. HW does a great job of teahing you the content. After first few lectures I stopped showing up. Recitation. TA's were my main source of knowledge. 2 extra points of extra credit are available. you should be fine w him. go to recitaion

He's the best. Loved his lectures for the one month I went to them. Made my mornings really energetic and since I transferred from UGA it was funny hearing him talk about it. Learned the concept initially from his lectures but later just went to recitation to understand it throughly. I would definitely take him again if I had to take CS again.

The lecture was somewhat useful for understanding, but the class is hard if you haven't coded before. The homeworks weren't too time consuming, and the tests are formatted exactly like the practice tests posted in canvas.

Difficult class if you don't have coding experience. Stallworth's a funny guy, but the homeworks are a little more complicated than what he teaches in class. Definitely use other resources like his lecture videos, Kantwon, and recitation. Beware of tests. If you struggle with time management the midterms will be hell.

Super funny lecturer, but would sometimes go on side tangents that weren't related to the lecture at all. Clear that he cared for all his students. Applying concepts taught in class was sometimes tricky, but it really depends on how much prior coding experience you had.

1371 is a personal class. Everyone starts with different amounts of coding experience so Stallworth starts slowly, however once the class gets rolling he can't teach everything. The best way to study is to do homework problems and practice exams and figure out what works for you. Stallworth is engaging and nice. There are many resources available.

I came into this course with no coding background and found it very heavy on coursework and studying needed. BUT thats not to say I didn't love it. The TA's are AMAZING; you should sign up for a recitation, they provide great insight. I have insanely fond memories of this class and Stallworth was a very passionate professor (he did yap at times..).

Professor Cedric makes lectures really interesting and fun. He does rant and go off tangent sometimes but all the things you need to learn he will teach, so as long as you listen and do the HWs you're fine.

Similar to what I have seen this prof does ramble on at times and gets easily distracted but is also a fun guy. Since all the topics already have video lectures and in person lectures were not mandatory, the class itself is easy but make sure to sign up to and go to a recitation both for extra credit and to learn more!

I love how he would try to make topics in class relatable to his students. He does an amazing job of breaking down the information. CS1371 is a challenging class, so you still have to put in the effort, but Professor Stallworth will do everything he can to help.

Funny and good at teaching, but kind of talks a lot during lecture

Professor Stallworth is a hilarious lecturer, and even though he may not cover everything in class, the recitation, videos, and extra credit are more than enough to succeed in this class. Final is optional, he is the GOAT for 1371 rn.

Professor Stallworth is a cool guy and very funny. A lot of times his lectures may feel like a ton of yap about unrelated topics, but the class itself is pretty easy. He gives you all the resources you need to succeed in the class -- recitation, videos, and extra credit. The final is optional so do good on your tests.

Great lecturer but the man can yap. Easy course and prof if you've coded before, but he goes slow enough for someone who hasn't coded to understand and learn. Go to recitations, the extra credit for it is a great whole grade booster. The final grade is exam heavy, but if you can do the homeworks without needing ChatGPT then you'll be fine.

He's an amazing guy, the tests can be a little tedious, but what else can you expect at a Georgia Tech CS class especially made for engineers. The class isn't easy, but the professor does want you to succeed! I say go to lectures, and then fill in the gaps with his videos and recitation. His lectures are slow but perfect for introductions.

This was my first CS class, so I was intimidated at first, but Stallworth offers a lot of resources to help you succeed. He does sometimes go off topic during class but he's a funny guy. I learned most of the content in recitation or through the lecture videos on Canvas.

I was TERRIFIED to take CS1371 at tech because...ive never TOUCHED code before, however Mr. Stallworth really does try and teach you from the very beginning assuming no one even knows what a function is. Make sure you go to recitation, he is super funny and made my 8am class a little easier to get up for. GO TO OFFICE HOURS if your struggling

Had him for challenge. Easily the most inspiring teacher I've met. He keeps his students engaged and pushes them to do their best.

1371 is by no means a "beginner" programming class. Even if you have some experience, getting used to MATLAB takes some time. The homework can be a massive time suck if you're new to programming but the TAs are great during recitation. That being said, Stallworth is extremely funny and a great guy. Just be prepared to put a bit of effort in.

Lowkey the goat. Informative lectures as are the recitations with his TAs (+1.25 EC if you attend all). There're like 24 five-min quizzes of which 16 best matter (sometimes you can get a free 100% if lecture is too long). Lectures are fun and engaging through personal stories. 3 exams + final can be dodged. Hw comes with EC part and can be tedious.

Good teacher when he stays on task. The homework does take a while and sometimes he hasn't taught what's covered in the homework. Attending recitation is helpful and gives extra credit for the class. He knows what he's talking about but it's frustrating when he gets off task. The tests are pretty difficult, but there is plenty of practice available

If you have a previous understanding of basic CS concepts, this class is easy. He does yap a lot but that honestly kept me more interested/let me pay attention to the lecture. The videos are also helpful to watch, and the homework and exams were hard, but interesting (at least to me). If you put in the work this class is not hard.

Exams do not evaluate your understanding. They say they try to give you partial credit but I lost 20 points due to typos on an exam. Besides that everything else is easy and Stallworth is great; y'all are hating on him for no reason. Also the exams should change starting in the spring so that you can actually code (so my complaint becomes obsolete)

Great professor with lots of knowledge on the subject, which is more evident in the lecture videos than lecture because of the side tracking. There is a daily quiz that you take at the end of lecture as well. The exams will change for next sem so I will not make a comment on that, though the grades coming back takes quite a while.

Went into this course with no coding experience, but felt lectures and recitation were enough to succeed. Homework can be time consuming, but it prepares you well for tests. Also gave lots of extra practice and mock exams to prepare for the tests. Up to 5% EC and final exam is optional. Only gripe is that getting test grades back took quite a bit.

He tended to go on rants and not get through all the content needed to complete homework, so often had to find other resources to learn it. Recitation is extremely helpful. He is interesting and funny though!
