Has years of industry experience. Excellent communication and clear grading criteria- You can learn a lot if you are paying attention in class. A lot of the grade comes from Assignments and Labs. Labs are cool. The tools that are used are super relevant to present Industry standards.IA5210 2015-10-18 17:32:22 +0000 UTC
Has a very strong theory background, but lacks when it comes to technical skills and relies completely on his student assistant for Linux related or advance technical exercises. Wants students to call (doesn't like emails) but at times is very unresponsive. Poor announcements. Time-Management Failure! Very good on a personal level (very friendly).IA5210 2015-03-12 01:51:30 +0000 UTC
