Comment:

Really nice guy, and very engaging so long as you share as much enthusiasm for the topics of the course as he does. Active conversation is expected, which helps with the mathematically denser material. Marks were easy to get up until the 25% final exam (many failed). Overall, really great prof and knows his stuff, and expects that you do as well.

Comment:

Nice guy, helpful. He's usually a serious guy but can be funny when he tries. Decently engaging lectures, though his notes (in-class and online) are too mathematical: many concepts could be explained in plain English but aren't. If you're good at matrices and enjoy dealing with them, you'll like CS3731; otherwise, you won't.

Comment:

Does not prepare you for labs,which makes lab time useless, class time is often wasted with confusing and useless notes, extremely rude, refuses to give any sort of outline or format for his tests. Midterm included material he had not yet taught so he tried to teach it while we wrote. HORRIBLE PROF, avoid at all costs!

Comment:

Difficult Class - because there is a lot of hard material to cover. Good lecture style and notes, but only scratches the surface. If you want / need help just ask at an office hour - Prof Miminis is reasonable. Overall very good class - assignments and project were a lot of work, but that is how you learn things.

Comment:

he may be good for higher courses but as for comp sci 1510, all he is going to do is screw you over, the midterm average was a fail and he doesn't teach the material before the labs
