Great guy! Great Summer! Best Computer Class ever!

No Comments

A little full of himself, or maybe a lot full of himself, but makes lectures really engaging and is brilliant at making abstract comments easily comprehensible.

This class is very useful class, but his TFs are not well trained to grade students' work. Be careful about final grade. Even though most of the assignments are good, but still C. He himself is very reasonable but his TFs are not good.

He is a very cool guy

Great class. He is a very good teacher. The course I have, cs75, is a lot of work, but you will learn a lot. I have not opinion on the hotness factor -- this is a lame part of this site. D. Malan is one of the better instructors out there.

Very entertaining

Best lecturer ever.

Excellent

I think for a first time computer programming class, cs50 is too fast even for Harvard students. first 6 weeks,you study c programming, from conditional loops, then pointers, then functions,then structures,then data structures,(stacks,Queues, link list). Then he switches to teach Website design(html,css,php,ajax)

Excellent!

Excellent!!

Wicked awesome lecturer.

GREAT TEACHER

He teaches awesome classes. You should definitely take CS50.

Was amazing to follow David J. Malan CS50x course. I had some programming background so I was Ok, if you don't have any programming background, still, take the course and make use of the classmate and staff help resources

inspirational

lectures are very instructive and clear.

aWESOME

Professor david j malan is a grate professor

CS50 was hilarious. Youtube is a good chance for you to try it.

Best professor ever seen!

I loved CS50! Everything about it including David was awesome!

Fast and phenomenal!!!!!!

Best class ever. I wish I had discovered his courses sooner. He talks super fast, yet makes clear point and uses effective example. Would take again.

Best professor for introduction to computer science to students on campus and all over the internet alike. Emphasizes all sorts of aspects on computer science including the theoretical, engineering, entrepreneurial, etc. Even though psets are verbose, they are sprinkled with inspiration and breakthroughs. One critique: too too much pop culture!

good, very good, very very good, very very very good!

Hat's off

He is the best Computer Science Professor out there

Nice lecture

He is an amazing instructor. He is precise and to the point.

Lectures are very useful and has a nice vibe to it.

Great prof.

Excellent teacher

I'm not done so maybe I can update later. I thought I'd write a review since I taught based on early lectures & taught elsewhere. I have the impression an enormous, incredible amount of thought & effort have been put into this class so it satisfies the goals of those taking it & stays accessible. I haven't seen anything like it. Staff is tops.

CS50 has been one of my favorite classes.

the best one!

He's very good in teaching in a understandable class hello is one of the best professors and I'm not even from computer science background but still I can still understand the class in abetter way

Amazing Teacher

Amazing Teacher best teacher I have ever seen

I am among those "less comfortable" with CS and if you're like me, you'll love this professor because of his way of teaching - he can make everything understandable. If you're among those "more comfortable" - you'll love him because of his knowledge - no matter how much you already know, you can still learn a lot from him.

The best professor I've ever heard, would definitely like to take his other courses. David is so inspiring!

Amazing lectures and explanation skills.

The best professor I have seen in my life, always well prepared with lectures well thought through. Makes the course material accessible and interesting. Highly recommended!

Professor Malan gives the best lectures I have experienced.

Extremely good professor at Harvard, one of the best. Learned all about what an interger was etc.. addition multiplication and even subtraction. You really have to study and have a love for cs.

Good explanations. CS50 as a course could have been structured better.

Hands down the best professor I've ever had.

I took his class on Youtube's CS50 channel, and I was amazed by his passion into coding. Really appreciate to have him teach me the basics of Computer Science.

Best professor I've had in my entire undergraduate career. He is super passionate about coding at it shows. His lectures are organized. He does an amazing job of making such a hard and fast-paced class easy and manageable.

Make me learn the subject I used to fear the most.

Awesome prof

He is the best professor ever.

Great

he is a very good guy i would take his class till the cows come home he was very respectful to every student give good grades not to much home work i guess and he is hilarious he tells the funniest dad jokes overall great guy teacher he could be a great friend to

Amazing prof

Malan got my swagger back!!! I was legit a cow with no udders before this class and now Im plump and ready! Great lectures and a better person!

Great Prof. Made me fall in love with Computer Science!

Professor David keeps lectures interesting, and easy even when it comes to explaining the toughest things in every computer language, he is the person that actually got me interested in CS.

5/5 absolute unit

One of the best professors I've ever had, clear and concise.

AMazing

EZPZ, highly recommend!

Computer sciences are a tough subject for me, but thanks to him I've rekindled my desire to learn and stay in STEM. I highly recommend his course regardless of whether you're an enrolled Harvard student or not, he's very beginner friendly and highly motivational!

very good

This professor is very good

Professor David is knowledgeable, approachable, and passionate about computer science. Their lectures were engaging, and they provided helpful feedback on assignments. Highly recommend.

Best professor ever! Thanks for all you do David & team!

Professor Malan is very inspirational, knowledgeable, and funny. His courses are one of the best computer science courses, and they're available for everyone, not just Harvard students.

Taking his lectures through HarvardX and he manages to make comp sci easy and interesting. Clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about his field, I was a little iffy about going into comp sci but watching him convinced me. Idk what he's like in person but clearly a great lecturer.

He was awesome. Watched online

The best lectures in CS for beginners and newcomers in tech.

This guy makes me wish I could've taken his class in person because his lectures were just THAT amazing. I took CS50P in my junior year of high school, and he is easily the best professor/teacher I've ever had. He has the most concise and easy-to-understand lectures I've ever seen. 100% recommend!

Blah blah blah

He's Amazing!

he is very nice. i forgot about an assignment so i turned in my essay on the mean girls movie and he gave me half credit. never thought i would ever meet another mean girls enthusiast

I wish I took this class in person. The way he teaches is truly special and helps people fall in love with computers.

very nice and friendly, also funny. answers very fast to any emails containing questions about the lectures.

he's awesome

The best lecturer.
