Nice professor. Chatty. I liked him. He is like a dad. I would chat with him all time but not take a course again. Not much learning ongoing in the class. I took Special Topics in AI. But could have been a lot better if he has industry experience. Decent professor if no other choices availableINFO7375 2026-06-11 14:04:02 +0000 UTC
Professor Aityan is a knowledgeable and approachable instructor who clearly cares about his students' success. Would highly recommend to any graduate student looking for a professor who is both academically rigorous and personally invested in student growth.INFO7375 2026-06-06 00:26:03 +0000 UTC
He seems like a nice, laid-back person. However, in terms of subject knowledge, I wasn't impressed. While I appreciate his personality, I wouldn't take another class with him and can't recommend his courses based on the academic experience.INFO7375 2026-02-17 05:08:36 +0000 UTC
Very nice professor. The course is less relevant but useful to an extend. Could certainly be better. I would not take the course again if I am given the choice. Okay for an A.INFO7375 2025-04-25 00:33:27 +0000 UTC
TBH I took this course expecting to learn AI, and it delivered. Professor Sergey breaks down neural networks from scratch, covering the math and guiding us in building our own. It's not just theory—it's hands-on and essential for truly understanding AI from NNs. Highly recommend.INFO7375 2025-03-19 00:11:50 +0000 UTC
