Comment:

Only attended 1/2 a class. He only reads from the slides. TAs had literally no idea what they were doing. Labs were from another school. His slides are so dense you can't tell understand what's important and what's not. Exam was full of random garbage too. He seems like more of an academic than a teacher. Very unorganised but it was an easy class.

Comment:

Took the course in Spring. Isaac is a nice guy and his lectures are useful. He shows good examples that are similar to content on labs/exams. You might have to read the slides again & try some codes on your own when you get the time to understand the content. Labs and exams require minimal effort so this is an easy course to ace.

The midterm and exam are based on the slides. No need to attend the lectures, he'll just repeat the slides. if you have any questions better to ask on office hour, he is helpful on office hours

Either read the slides or textbook. Slides have way too much information on them.

Excellent teacher when you take time to listen to him. Very smart and has lot of knowledge. He is always available when you approach him. I don't understand other students who find him poor. Anyway they are free to say what they want. But I was very impressed by that Associate Professor. And I encourage you to take CPS125 and CPS118 with him.

Comment:

Is okay if you're going to take an easy class like 125 but for a difficult class like Computer Security, he's literally the worst person that could teach it from the Computer Science faculty. Had him for Computer Ethics which was a waste of a class. Reads from slides, doesn't know his stuff, uses online labs, etc.

I got 20% on my CPS125 midterm when I first tried taking it during the spring semester with Kokkarinen but then decided to drop it and take it during the summer and I've never made a better decision. Isaac made every lecture extremely interesting and this was the first course of my university career that I didn't skip a single lecture. Best prof!

Comment:

Very poor at explaining. Simply reads slides which have mediocre information. Most work for the class assigned and due in last month; bad organisation. Wouldn't want him for anything again. Oh yeah, did I mention the time he sent everyone's gpa/student number to everyone in the program? Not sure how such a mistake is made. Not a good prof.

Comment:

Doesn't take breaks for 2 hour lectures, just drones on and on. Reads from slides so may as well stay home and read them yourself. Homework is really long if you do it legit from the book, but all the answers are online. Labs were interesting but useless for understanding course material. Very disorganized. No midterm, so you're flying blind.

Isaac is one of the only professors that cares about his students. Go to his lectures, answer his questions, learn his material, and after a hards day work, play a game of squash with him.

Comment:

Boring but straight forward. Not a hard marker, especially on the project. Material covered is a little much but the exam was fair. No midterm. Labs are the only compliant. He gets them from various other schools and not only are they not covered in the class, but are quite hard.Did the other schools have an in class component for the labs?Probably

Comment:

He just read from his power point notes each lecture. Had some difficulty making the examples completely clear. The labs didn't really match the material in the lectures, so it all felt disorganized. Seemed like he was not that interested in being there. I really didn't get much out of the course.

Comment:

Fair prof. Gave decent examples in class, and answered questions clearly. I had done some computer science in high school, which helped. But if you do all the labs on your own, and study what they tell you to for the tests, you can easily ace this course.
