i worked here for years. he is unthankful for the hard work students put in to keep his institute afloat & has no problem making the lives of those around him as difficult as possible. for the good of your mental health avoid HSyE and do not allow yourself to be a victim of his never ending power trip. he takes out his lack of a personal life on usIEMG215 2018-08-14 09:58:00 +0000 UTC
good teacher, hard class, but you'll pass. He's very passionate.MIMU516 2009-10-14 08:54:37 +0000 UTC

Can suck my D**k!MIM404 2009-01-26 21:15:25 +0000 UTC
He has to be one of the worst teacher in Grad School. we are actually learning more from one of the student in class.MIM 2004-03-29 19:07:27 +0000 UTC
Deffinetly not the best teacher... tests impossible and lack of clarity... also confused himself at times and not always available during office hours... stay away from the classMIMU315 2004-01-03 01:37:38 +0000 UTC
Prof. Benneyan's class is quite difficult. The assignments are tough, as are the exams and projects. However, if you like the material and work hard through the semester, the course is very satisfying.IEMG215 2006-08-09 14:23:15 +0000 UTC
worst teacher EVER! his tests are rediculous and he can never answer a question in office hours. He is a statistics teacher that can't give you a correct estimate on your grade, unless its a +-20 estimate, obviously he knows his stuff!MIMU315 2003-12-22 12:55:17 +0000 UTC
Ok for his statistics test he is horrible. makes up rediculous tests and doesnt teach much. his ta doesnt know the subject and neither does he at times. do not forget work at any point in your hw or you will not do wellMIMU315 2003-12-21 21:29:58 +0000 UTC
