Comment:

Horrible. Just horrible. Gives really really really hard finals. Especially the one we got. Such a hard final and expects us to solve those problems. This course is hard and requires a lot of thinking and not memeroization. On top of that, you have a really bad professor wit a TOUGH marking scheme. 0 marks if you make a little small mistake.. No jk

Wow just wow. This guy doesn't post anything except skeleton notes and he goes through the material so fast / messy in class that you don't even have time to write numerical answers down, yet he doesn't 'believe' in posting finished notes. The tutorials are joke, they're ahead of the lecture and the TA gives Quiz problems that aren't from the labs.

Can be monotonous at times, but explains clearly and at a steady pace. He is very helpful one to one and will easily clarify any doubts about the material. Tests are hard though. I found that drinking coffee and reading the textbook ahead of time really helped.

Comment:

Will show you the code for 0.1 seconds in class and spends majority of time discussing theory portion where nearly everything is evaluated based on code. The TA will NOT DO ANYTHING during the labs and leave you to be on your own. May as well not go to the labs other than to write the occasional quiz or submit assignments, otherwise its a waste.

Lectures are spent mostly on the basic things. Better to learn off the textbook instead, since he was usually behind from the lab questions.

Comment:

Writes on the board for the entire lecture. Very hard to follow what he is doing when you have to constantly write. I suggest just paying attention instead of writing notes and review the (summarized) posted notes. There are 5 group assignments and exams are completely fair if you do them. DO THE ASSIGNMENTS OR YOU WILL DO TERRIBLE ON EXAMS!

Absolutely ruthless. Terrible professor. Biweekly assignments which the questions are taken out of the textbook. He has markers grade the assignments and midterms and are very inconsistent. Average on midterms were low 50s. No bell curve.
