Comment:

Follow his methodology and you should do ok. Read his lecture notes and listen to him when he does his examples in class. Ask him questions. Hes a pretty funny guy. Also go to his tutorials! He does all his examples in them and goes over them so many times. His style is unusual but just put in some work and you will pass!

Cares about his students and WANTS them to succeed and understand. Incredibly patient and casual. Fun classes. His slides are comprehensive so they can be a bit overwhelming. Don't hesitate to ask questions thoughhe's willing to help.

Comment:

Jeff is a good teacher for theoretical cs. The only comment I will say is that he uses fairy god mothers and gnomes to explain concepts to people over 20 years old. I prefer more of a formal style of teaching but he did make the concepts easy to understand.

You have to know his learning methods you can't use the methods use from Google otherwise you will get the question wrong and it's hard to apply his steps for interview questions

Great Professor, I have learned alot and his unique style of teaching always made the material easier to understand. The material might look scary but he makes it manageable and as long as you put in the effort you will be able to understand the material and do well in this course.

Comment:

Jeff teaches material in an abstract way such that you can apply these concepts to more general problems. You will first (and may continue to) find the way he lectures confusing but eventually (hopefully) you will find yourself understanding the material once understanding his teaching style.

Comment:

Firstly, 2001 is a hard course. It's 100% theoretical and abstract. Just remember that when you take the course. Now, when you have course material that's super hard, it helps to have a professor who teaches well. Jeff is super patient, answers literally 2 dozen questions every class, and wants everyone to pass. He makes the course bearable.

I did not know that when I stepped into Jeff's class for the first time, that my life was about to be changed forever. His beautiful long hair keeps you energized, but his soft soothing voice is what keeps you coming back to class. He explains everything in great detail and will go over it until you understand it. Jeff is truly an inspiration.

Comment:

We have not gone wrong. There is an optimal professor that extends my choice on taking 3101. By far the best professor I've had. Very friendly, approachable, and an overall "good guy." 3101 is a difficult course but his abstract approaches definitely helps you understand algorithmic analysis. My own wish is that he taught more courses.

He is a great prof , trying his best so we can understand the base of algorithms. His exams may appear hard but he doesn't ask for more than he teaches.

Comment:

Jeff is very helpful if you ask questions and go to his office hours. He puts a lot of his own time into helping students understand the material, and even records lectures. Even though I got a low grade, I still think he is a good prof and an even better person. Pay attention when he says NOT to do something. And follow his darn steps!
