Comment:

He is a good prof comparing to others in the dept. He cares about students, and wants us to know the material. If you understand algorithms, you would be fine. My suggestion is to memorize some of them for tests if you have a tendency to stress out on exams. ( Like you know how it works, but just in case...)

Fantastic professor that welcomes questions. Does grade the quizzes a little harsh but gives a huge curve at the end and a 10 point curve on the final.

Explains every concept thoroughly, welcomes questions, and adds a bit of humor in between. He makes class fun! Class is fast paced, however. As long as you keep on top of the short homework assignments, you won't be lost.

Do not miss a chance to take professor Yanofsky! He is easily in my top 3 favorite professors. He is not just an excellent & passionate educator, he is a hilarious, genuine & wonderful person as well. I not only learned an incredible amount but laughed my butt off during the semester. It was an honor to have taken his class & I hope you do as well.

Very good professor. Knows what he is talking about. But his quizzes can be fairly difficult. DO the HW or you won't pass. Ask questions over and over again until you get the answer you are looking for. He's great.

Amazing teacher. You can tell he really wants the students to learn the subject. Although, you HAVE to read the book and the tests can be a bit difficult.

Comment:

This is an incredibly difficult course. My advice is to read through the book (which is a difficult, but I do suggest google searching answers to help you through the material & homework). When you see an algorithm, you must trace it to conceptualize it because there's a strong chance it may appear in a quiz or final. I mean it!! Don't memorize!!!!

I'm a Grad student One of the best instructors I've had for anything. Able to explain complicated ideas clearly. Attentive to students questions. Respectful. Hilarious. I would not recommend skipping class. Definitely should read the book. Def. do the homework. It's 5% of your grade, but if you don't, passing quizzes/exams will be hard

Ok this class is wierd, maybe because I was not expecting to learn what people CANT do. However, this professor makes this course interesting and fun. You will learn a lot of tricks to show off to your friends. 3 exams; tes1, test2 and final. Easy A+

Comment:

It's a tough course with a lot of material to cover, but he reduces the damage by making it interesting with stories and anecdotes, and adapting tests to what is learned or is unable to be learned in class. He's pretty busy, but he does try to help, and is very approachable.

Great professor. Explains the concepts well and always answers questions in person or via email. We had six quizzes which were very fair. Also, he's a generous grader.

He is a great guy. VERY HELPFUL. The class is straightforward, do all your hw and you will get a 'A'. The quizzes and final Qs are the same exact questions from the hw.

Teaches straight from the textbook and the textbook itself isn't very clear or helpful. Bi weekly quizzes which are "alright" but if your struggling with homework then you will probably fail them.

Comment:

One of the worst Math professors i've had in the cuny system, and i've had professors which english is their third language. He goes straight from the book (which sucks), and stops every 5 minutes during lecture to either let a story or promote his book. When you ask him something, he may or may not answer. Avoid or take class in another school.
