Bad structure of course and tons of micro management. Murmuring all the time and could not explain even the most basic OOD concept clearly. Also, expect to use some tech stack in HW that has never been taught before.CS5150 2026-03-18 01:45:02 +0000 UTC
Be prepared for a ego-driven classroom that is filled with micro management. The professor expects 100% compliance and will call people out for not paying attention, yet the content being taught has no actual value. You'll spend more time managing the professor's 'expectations of respect' than actually gaining skills in the subject.CS6966 2026-03-13 12:42:59 +0000 UTC
I took CS5150 (Game AI) in summer 2024 at Seattle. The professor faced a family emergency, impacting his teaching quality. He canceled several classes and struggled to prepare enough material. I bombed a few assignments due to lack of guidance. Thankfully, he allowed me to redo HWs and was generally flexible. I hope his situation has improved.CS5150 2024-09-21 23:38:23 +0000 UTC
