CS1/COP 3502c Tanvir Ahmed vs Corey Pittman

General

I'm an IT major looking to see if anyone has a recommendation/insight on which would be better. Also before anyone suggests, I cannot alter my work schedule.

My work schedule is basically forcing me to either take Tanvir Ahmed if I want to be able to attend Lectures AND Labs (assuming they're not strict about what lab section i attend)

Or I take Corey Pittman and only attend lectures since all of his Labs are during my work hours.

Pittman doesn't have a syllabus up or much of a history online for CS 3502C since it appears he just started teaching it at UCF, so I don't know how much of a big deal missing labs would be for him. Based on what I could find he doesn't record lecture videos or do zoom for them, which Tanvir Ahmed does.

That being said Pittman seems like it would be an easier class for a non CS major. Based on what I have read Ahmed is better for those seeking FE prep because of the intensity and thoroughness of his assignments, which is not relevant for me.

So if anyone has more insight on Pittman especially it would be very much appreciated.
