I would not put a whole lot of weight in rate my professor evaluations of A110, or a lot of freshman level classes for that matter. A lot of people who are not suited for college (and a lot of IU freshmen are not for many reasons) will not like the workload. The important skills-- the stuff applicable to K201-- won’t be taught by Pope (he does the lecturing), but by lab instructors in the small lab sessions.

Content overlap is evident here:

[CSCI A110 Comprehensive Calendar: Lecture and Lab](CSCI A110 Comprehensive Calendar: Lecture and Lab)

People who stick out the class pick up lots of skills that can be used to raise their K201 grade (important when you are competing to get into Kelley) and grading for those who complete the class is pretty good:

Here are videos of some of the applications learned in K201. The more exposure you have to Excel going in the better.
