I'm 3 weeks into his class but I can already tell why he's rated so highly. Great at explaining, very approachable, breaks down a difficult class into easily understandable sections. Also love how affirmative he is when we ask questions, it makes the process of attending his class so much more enjoyable.ALGORITHMS 2026-01-24 00:18:20 +0000 UTC
The best professor I have ever studied under and definitely the best course structure.CS5600 2019-06-05 00:21:43 +0000 UTC
Amazing lectures! Starts from the basics and builds up as the lecture progresses.CS5800 2018-12-10 17:40:00 +0000 UTC
He teaches very well. Great Guy!!!! HomeworkAssignments are way to tough. Examzzz are cool....!!! Final Project was very innovative and technically challenged....!!CS6710 2010-10-22 20:39:34 +0000 UTC
Great guy! Class was a little slow moving at times, but that's really Fell's problem. If you put a decent effort in, you'll get an easy A and learn a lot. Some of the written HW was difficult, but everything else was very fair.CSU200 2009-01-27 23:33:15 +0000 UTC
Raj is a tough professor, but you will learn a great deal in his courses. He is a nice guy, and willing to help those who need it. Grading was fair overall. I usually enjoyed coming to class, which is strange.CSU645 2006-12-19 12:22:26 +0000 UTC
Was a tough class for me but Raj did a great job presenting it. Always willing to put in the extra time to make sure students understand the material. Very organized classes.CSU690 2006-11-15 11:39:57 +0000 UTC
Class can be boring. He teaches wierd concepts. Does give out A's alot though and you can get extensions on stuff easilyCOM172X 2003-05-14 14:31:29 +0000 UTC
Great lecturer considering how boring the material is and incredibly willing to help in OH!ALGORITHMS 2024-12-04 06:34:21 +0000 UTC
This is one of the best prof. you have to take course under his guidance. Excellent teaching and explanation. He takes efforts from his side to help the students. Which I haven?t seen in other prof. Assignments are tough , quizzes are ok. Grading is fair, totally how you performed in the coursework.CS5600 2011-07-27 17:05:50 +0000 UTC
A great professor. Very approachable and extremely patient.CS5800 2017-09-10 19:29:37 +0000 UTC
Great guy and great teaching. Always available for extra help. This class does require a lot of work, but overall it was easy.CSU200 2009-01-07 18:24:42 +0000 UTC
The Raj! Really nice guy, and will give you an A for effort. Unfortunately, he rarely quizzes on what's covered. Somewhat easy course, though.COM172X 2003-03-04 01:48:03 +0000 UTC
Raj is the goat at ALGO!!! The most difficult part of the class are the exams, HackerRanks on HW's, and writing proofs. Very slow and thorough lectures. Is accepting of students questions during and after lectures. He also was a co-author of the discrete textbook, and has over 7,000 citations.ALGORITHMS 2023-02-08 18:52:39 +0000 UTC
One of the best professors in the CS department. His lectures are absolutely amazing. He stops the lecture to answer any student's doubt no matter how trivial it is with the same enthusiasm as he teaches. You will definitely learn a lot in his class.CS5800 2017-03-28 21:55:52 +0000 UTC
