talkative with no point. class is mandatory that is why all student have to listen to his nonsensical lectures. Not at all useful. There are so many great professors who are alienated to accommodate the toxic environment of MGEN.INFO5100 2025-11-29 17:43:31 +0000 UTC
He's honestly a genius—managed to convince a university to make him a department head, just so his trash course could be mandatory for everyone.INFO5001 2025-01-06 08:12:36 +0000 UTC
Rude and worst man in person. If you take any class from his department he will dictate other professor to give lower grade.INFO5200 2013-05-15 16:21:53 +0000 UTC
Nice guy... Other than that terrible. He doesn't have a bad stile, the problem is that he teach useless stuff. He needs an urgent update in knowledge and get better TAs (who are usually useless) In general a bad experience in everything class-relatedIIEG 2010-06-24 12:39:18 +0000 UTC
I began my Master Degree with the Java class(ISY 100) that he taught. I like his teaching style. Honestly, I never feel bored when taking his class. He emphasizes more on the design and problem solving technique. Moreover, his class really helped me got a co-op at Oracle. I would recommend anyone taking a class with him.ISYG100 2010-02-13 19:57:12 +0000 UTC
205 would be a good platform for learning the horizons of application development. This course explores object modeling to hottest technologies which could be used for developing smart applications. I would definitely recommend this course for students who are really looking to establish a good learning curve.ISYG205 2010-01-19 20:34:10 +0000 UTC

Awful.......INFO5001 2024-09-13 15:04:34 +0000 UTC
Super hypocritical, disrespectful to studentsINFO5100 2025-11-21 05:14:30 +0000 UTC
He can't teach you anything.INFO5001 2024-02-02 22:05:18 +0000 UTC
Bro please just retire and stop poisoning your program and students!INFO5100 2025-02-26 05:29:43 +0000 UTC
If it is not mandatory, I would never ever take his class anymore. Assignments are super hard without any explanation and help. A beginner is asked to write a complete project without syntax being taught.INFO5001 2023-11-10 22:40:44 +0000 UTC
The professor is very detached from the course. What is being taught is not reflected in the assignments and projects. Often the assignments did not have a clear rubric and the TA team were not responsive. The class size is very large and thus the TA team were probably overwhelmed. You must know Java in order to do well in this course. TLDR; AWFUL.INFO5100 2024-12-17 10:33:41 +0000 UTC
