Comment:

Waste of time and money. Gives you loads of questions to figure out, but never goes over them or the answers. Expected to go to office hours. Cannot understand the man's speech, what he writes on the board, nothing. Tests are super long and tedious. There is a garunteed curve because no one does really well with few exceptions. Awful. Avoid.

Comment:

This man is the absolute worst. You are almost guaranteed to get a D in his class. Impossible to understand and horrendous at presenting material. His tests are ridiculous and he is not very helpful during office hours. On his final exam there was one question that was worth 25% of our entire class grade... ridiculous

Comment:

WORST TEACHER AT MARIST. Openly admits he has not coded in many years. 1/3 or more of the class is in the D-F range. Marist should be ashamed to have kept him teaching for so long and wasting students money.

Comment:

Do not take. Like the person below me he will make you hate Computer Science. His project is so ridiculous that he had to cancel it because so many people were having trouble. he doesnt even know how to program other than from the assembly book we used! when you go for help he just tells you to read the book. Many dropped out or failed

Worst teacher I've ever had. The thought of his class makes me lose my appetite. This class will make you hate comp sci. The final project is ridiculous and his tests are brutal. Will not help you on programs, sends you to non helpful textbook sections. Do not take

Comment:

i've never worked harder, but i've also never felt like i've worked more. ppl with negative comments basically expect to pay tuition and get the 'a' wrapped in a box. prof makes you work, but it feels worth it at the end.

Yeah, difficult class, but you come out of it knowing a helluva lot. anyone who complains does so because they go into the class without any effort. he pushes you to your limits, and you come outta the class knowing more than you ever did

Comment:

Class is used for undergrad and graduate material. Undergraduates andGraduates syllabus and material are the same. Most importantly course material in book and course material in notes provided by professor are never on any of the test's. When asked for further explanation for a better understanding, all information goes through a downward spiral.

Comment:

Comes across as strict and harsh, but a nice guy overall. Gives clear notes and examples on the board. Expects someone to answer the in class questions he asks, so you need to have a clue coming into each class. Take good notes, do the examples in the back of the chapters, and you will do fine on the tests; which he does curve somewhat.

Comment:

Onkar is the MAN! His class is tough, but he is the nicest old indian man. After one class you will get used to his accent and you too will fall in love with him. 3 tests, no real hw, and as long as you pay attention you will do well.

Comment:

I love Onkar P. Sharma. He gets really into the material and wants the whole class to understand things before he moves on. He does expect you to be on your toes, and tests will be tough, but you know exactly what will be on them.

Probably one of the most difficult professors at Marist, and his accent makes him difficult to understand.

Comment:

Possibly THE worst teacher I've ever had. 1.You will learn nothing, because the things he says in class are wrong. 2.You will do poorly, because he grades based on the CORRECT way to do things, not what he teaches. The class is a waste of money and time.

The project is tough, but the tests are fairly easy as long as you study. Questions come right from the exercises he gives you. Change the course around and seems alot easier. Make sure you have good programmers in your group.

Comment:

He was tough to understand and get used to at the begining because of his thick accent. He was very willing to help you out when you have trouble. for one of the test, the class average was 60 or 70... out of 200. so i would say the class was tough...
