Comment:

Doesn't have a set grading system. Has to follow the textbook way of learning so you can't learn it your own way. Reads PPT off of slides word to word based from his complicated textbook. Dismisses questions or gives a vague answer. You honestly will do better self-teaching yourself the subject from the textbook than learning from him.

Comment:

Okay so he himself as a human being is not that bad, he's nice. His teaching style is the worst! He reads powerpoints for nearly 2 hours, like word for word, and not made by him. You can't take notes because he reads them so fast. Only midterm and final. Hw is a headache: notes on chapter with very picky criteria. Textbook is another pain Good luck

Comment:

He is the worst professor anyone could ever have. His teaching is practically you teaching yourself. Every single class, you'll find him reading off of ppt he found online and when he teaches without them, he contradicts both the textbook and the ppt. He will never help you after class as he says "I don't do private tutoring so don't ask me".

Comment:

The homework is essentially to teach yourself using the textbook. The lectures are made more complex than they have to be with and example problems are not properly explained. He did not explain the criteria of what he expects from the class and seems to grade based on an unknown rubric. Very difficult to get answers if you don't understand.

Comment:

He is the real hero of Seidenberg. I love how he walks in the room and brings in a positive vibe and energy with him. I dont know how any one can not pay attention to him when he gives his lecture with great passion while keeping them interesting. No even in my class ever uses their laptop because everyone is busy admiring this mathematical genius.

Comment:

Worst professor I've ever taken. Doesn't teach anything. Midterms don't make sense, and grades it on clearly you've written your answer. Takes points away even if your answer is right because it's not written clearly. Don't take this guy

Comment:

Seidenberg's worst professor! Teaches nothing about Computer Science! Very condescending and only respects you if you agree with his vague lectures. You will learn nothing and it's not his fault, even if a huge portion of the class drops out (and THEY DID!). If you take his class and suffer despite heeding this warning, you deserve it. Just saying

Comment:

Just about everyone was on their laptop doing something else, and you should too because it's almost a waste of time trying to actually follow his lesson. You won't learn much, but your grade will be fine, except there's a lot of BSing involved. Preaches teamwork too much. Only teacher for the mandatory CS232 unfortunately, but avoid if you can.

No grading rubric. One of my teammate received 18 on midterm which was significantly lower than mine. His grade was only half letter grade lower than me. I asked him to show me a breakdown of my grade. He didn't show it to me, because there is none!

Comment:

Really a terrible Prof. If you just want a grade, it's fine. If you want to learn, just skip this Prof. He has insufficient knowledge. Once I ask the question of the assignment which is from the textbook. He didn't know the answer!!! And said he need to search the internet. Even with the help of Google, he still can't answer the question.

Worst professor ever. No feedback missed or was late to 42% off classes fell asleep during presentation. Failed to post final online properly and made student attend final after term ended. Lectures a about being an adult and is lazy himself. No control over class room.

His class is not so difficult. Do the homework, pay attention for the PPT, you will be good. Must have a solution manual. Focus on how to solve the problem, it will be efficient.

It is not about the computer science project. It is only about the business plan and financial plan. I didn't learn anything new about how to build a perfect project.

Comment:

Joseph is very knowledgeable in the field. He assigns one group project and makes you work in teams so as to increase team building skills. He is a tough grader, however most of his exams are based off of questions discussed from the lectures and the homework assignments. Do the homework, pay attention, and ask questions. You'll do well.

Comment:

He is annoying and incomprehensible BUT at the end of the semester he becomes a total push over. Easy A, I know nothing of computers and didn't learn anything but still got an A-. Just make sure you go to his office at least once during the semester!
