Prof: Peter Dobbins / Spring 2026
Apr 8, 2026
I got into CS because i really liked math and this class is basically starting blocks for math in CS. They introduce proofs and have some coding. Everyone complains about dobbins, and yes he does ramble at times, but he is very passionate about the topics and I do learn when i listen to him. Sometimes when hes going through problem sets i zone out because those aren’t really that important. The important thing is to do your readings and the homework’s well you will be fine. I skimmed chapters BRIEFLY in the book in like 5 minutes and listened to his lectures in person and have an A+ in this class.
aside from his teaching, he is extremely passionate and will talk with you about anything in office hours. I had a lot of fun going to talk with him there and its always good to build connections with professors
one main thing is DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS in the book. I think this single handedly made the exam questions so easy for me. They are harder so they prepare u better but not too hard that they dont make sense. Also he doesnt really cover every single individual detail in the book so if youre reading something and u didnt see it on his slides then it wont be on the exam lol.
