I think this guy might be power tripping. He smiles watching students struggle to answer obscure and unclear questions that have no relevancy to anything he has taught us (which is essentially nothing), and expects a perfect answer. Worst professor of my life.CS4520 2025-06-24 23:08:39 +0000 UTC
Imagine the worst qualities of a professor - mean, rude, unprepared, cruel, unfair, and terrible at teaching. Well, that's what we have here. He will yell at you for things that are out of your control, like not having a camera, or not knowing topics he never even taught. Quite honestly the biggest waste of money, and infuriating to say the least.CS4520 2025-06-24 23:00:18 +0000 UTC
HE IS THE GOATCS4520 2025-05-01 21:48:39 +0000 UTC
The worst professor I've had. Just don't take the class if it will be with him. He is extremely bossy, you don't learn anything. And btw, there's no rounding so if you get for example 89.8, he won't give you the A- which is 90%.CS4520 2025-04-28 22:52:39 +0000 UTC
Do NOT take CS4520 with this professor unless you don't want to learn. You will be assigned time-consuming projects, to then be deducted points for random, and irrelevant stuff. No live coding, and lectures are very boring. If you take the class with him you won't learn unless you spend hours and hours on your own trying to figure things out.CS4520 2025-03-26 21:36:38 +0000 UTC
lectures provide zero preparation for homework/projects which is the entire course grade. covers little to no code examples in class. left on your own to scour the internet for docs and code examples. a particular TA would CTRL+C CTRL+V our code into ChatGPT to grade, at least have the decency to actually grade. point deductions for random reasonsCS4520 2025-03-06 06:50:35 +0000 UTC
Very bad lecturer, he goes through the topics extremely fast, and explains very little. Doesn't provide code after lectures and has slides which are not readable at all. Very hard to learn, he just talks and doesn't even do much live coding. Takes a long time to answer Piazza posts.CS4520 2025-02-12 00:05:45 +0000 UTC
