Comment:

The assignments for Comp 273 were really really tough sometimes but he always listened to students and extended deadlines a couple times. Really good prof. Make sure you actually go to the lectures or watch the recordings. Kaleem is a great lecturer but the slides just confuse you more.

Can't say more on Prof. Siddiqi. Very gentle and lots of knowledge into vision. A true good professor, easy to contact out of class and always ready to provide advice. Respect student's idea and situation. Good grading for assignments , mid terms, and project. Strongly recommend!

Always helpful, steady pace during the entire course. Lets you know if something if really important. Explains all the things on black-board instead of running through slides (unlike Precup), which is really helpful and doesn't become a load during finals.

Good Teacher, although he whipped through the circuitry / boolean logic a little fast. Overall though, very clear, and helpful if you have any questions. Assignments were fair, as were the exams.
