Kirda is a fair and good professor who cared about the course. He does warn you at the beginning of the class that you will get into trouble if you cheat so I am not surprised some people here are upset.CS5770 2024-09-30 18:39:08 +0000 UTC
My grade dropped by one and a half because the system accepted my copied submission as final submission which was picked from the internet. I truly had fun solving all the assignments and put my hard work in just for this unfortunate event to happen. while my classmate who couldn't solve a single of them (whom i helped in ALL assgn.) got an A gradeCY5770 2024-01-06 19:36:22 +0000 UTC
Awesome professor. Really will go out of his way to help students understand the material, which to me wasn't that difficult. Exams/quizzes are really easy.EECE5698 2014-03-20 12:01:29 +0000 UTC
He is rudest prof I've ever met. He talks aggressively and does not intend to help students. He really has a difficult personality.CS5770 2024-05-06 21:07:45 +0000 UTC
