He is goodINFO6150 2026-02-22 23:11:58 +0000 UTC
Great professor, perfect balance of learning and grading. I got lots of opportunities to practice what I learned with modern tech stacks, fair grading standards. I learned systematically about full stack web development with essential skills for nowadays SDE, I got interviews after took this course.INFO6150 2025-04-19 03:57:16 +0000 UTC
He just reads the PPT and shows no enthusiasm in classes. There is no difference if you just learn it yourself on Youtube. He used to give easy grades to students but NOW everything just changed. His Quizs and Exams become difficult and hard to achieve grades.INFO6150 2025-04-12 13:37:51 +0000 UTC
Course was a letdown. The midterm was packed with way too many MCQs, impossible to finish in time. The TA's grading is super harsh. Attendance is mandatory, so you have to show up even though lectures don't help much with the exams. If you care about your GPA, time, or tuition, I'd strongly recommend avoiding this class.INFO6150 2025-04-12 13:28:48 +0000 UTC
Everything changes in 2025, it is the most horrible and hard course I‘ve taken. You need 6-8hours for weekly assignment, midterm and quizes' mean are always lower than 70%. What makes it better? in final week, here is a project and final exam waiting for you. Class attending is required, but here is no credits for it.INFO6150 2025-04-12 13:28:47 +0000 UTC
His ux class is good! CSYE 7280INFO6150 2024-08-04 03:20:50 +0000 UTC
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the course as it provided ample opportunities for me to enhance my knowledge base. The class activities were instrumental in laying a strong foundation for me. The professor's provision of supplementary sources and articles served as invaluable resources for deepening my understanding of the subject matter.INFO6150 2023-02-22 20:44:36 +0000 UTC
I had a wonderful time during the course. There were a number of class activities which helped build my foundation. The professor would share additional sources and articles which helped me build a deeper understanding.INFO6150 2023-02-22 20:40:19 +0000 UTC
Classes are pretty straight forward. Its little hard to for beginners, but eventually one can built a career out of this course. Professor covers all the front end related topics that are currently used in the industry and keeps updating the course syllabus for every two semesters.INFO6150 2023-02-22 20:13:30 +0000 UTC
Very goodINFO6150 2023-01-16 02:44:06 +0000 UTC
Easy grader. You will get an A without any effort. The TA's handle the class and the lab. The professor teaches word to word from tutorialspoint (reads the slides). If you want to learn something, don't take this course. Or take the course and get an easy A :)INFO6150 2022-08-24 01:13:34 +0000 UTC
