Comment:
If you put in effort Prof German will bend over backwards to help you pass. The class is difficult, but the amount of opportunities given to students is amazing. I graduated in 2015 so it's been a long time, but I remember him letting me retake a quiz I'd bombed during office hours. If you make an effort then so will he.

Professor German has awesome programming skills. He is very accessible and helpful. He has an appointment system, and you can see all his available time through the system. He is available almost every day until late at night, even during the summer and winter break. If you study every day, I am sure you will get a good grade. Best professor ever!

Comment:
German's lecture is easy to understand. And he is very patient so if you get any question during the lecture, just go to his office hour, he will try his best to help you. And he doesn't want his course to be tough. Even if you did a bad job in one exam, once you think you are well-prepared. You can retake it again and still get the full credit.

Professor German is fantastic. He cares deeply about his students and you can tell he wants to see each one of them succeed. German makes himself available to students and goes out of his way to help students understand the material. Fair grader, compassionate, interesting, and knowledgeable. He is truly IU's best. Can't recommend him enough!

Professor German was my first CS professor at IU. He really helped build my base and the tips he has given are invaluable. Such as expect errors when compiling and clean up your code when stuck. For that reason I rank Prof German 1% of CS professors. Take a class with him and visit Prof German with an attitude to succeed and he wont let you down

Never had tests, only HW and Labs. Also never had a due date, most kids just put everything off and turned in everything at end of semester. I stopped going to Zoom lectures cause he would ramble. At the end of the semester he just gave out A's to most of the kids, I was missing nearly half of my HW and never did the final project. Nice guy too.

Adrian is one of my favorites Professors at IU, I am not a CS major or minor so I know nothing before taking this class, but he always happy to answer questions. He contributes a lot of time for office hours even during the weekends or after midnight. This is not a demanding class but you definitely need to pay attention during the class.

Comment:
Prof. German was a great professor, he has this really goofy personality that keeps you engaged and interested in the material and the class and he was always really understanding when it came to deadlines and make up work. I learned a lot of java under him, and I don't think I would've passed IU's Data Structures class without his help.

Comment:
German is one of my favorite professors in this school. He is diligent since he held office hours basically every day - even when it is the weekends or Thanksgiving week. He loves to help students with their problems. Easy A for this class if you could attend office hours when your confusion happened. Will recommend this professor in that case.

Professor German is the best professor I've ever met at IU!! I toke 2 classes with him. He is very responsive and cares about every single students in the class. I got email back even in holidays. He hosts office hour every single day and you can easily make appointment online to reserve a time slot. Class instructions and grading were clear.

Professor German is the best instructor I have ever met at Indiana University. He was always trying hard to know students' needs, and he set office hours almost every day to help his students solve their problems inside and outside the class. Also, the contents in Professor German's lectures are interesting and you will find them really useful.

I also took 211 and 322 with German. German is the most empathetic professor I've had at IU. Whether it be explaining complex topics or helping with assignments, German is always willing to go the extra mile to explain things. He is a great professor and an even better person. There is a lot of work, but most of it helps you learn.

Professor German was the first CS professor I had, and he is one of the most memorable ones among all the others. He genuinely cares more about students learning the material than the students' grades. I have never had a professor sacrifice as much of his time for office hours. He is always available to help, no matter the time. Amazing professor!

German is a super nice guy and the class is very easy, but he is very unorganized and is very hard to follow. He constantly jumps around from topic to topic and gives very vague answers to your questions. You never know what is expected of you and you always feel like you're missing something.

If you want to genuinely learn about computer science, avoid taking classes with German. His lectures are awful. His thought processes are never linear, they're absolutely all over the place. Yes he allows remakes of everything, and you WILL get an A in this class, but you will get nothing out of it and it will be a waste of your time.

He is not great at explaining things. You will rely on the textbook, classmates, or SICE tutors when you're confused. He has plenty of office hours available but he can be kind of... aggressive. He allows you to make up any HW and retake tests so it is possible to get 100 in the class. Beware: to make up HW you must write the entire code by hand.

He's a great lecturer, and makes himself readily available outside of class. He also lets you retake tests for full credit.
