Comment:

Groza is a good professor. The real thing that will ruin this course for you are the terrible TAs and labs. They are disorganized, impatient, and worse of all: the lab schedule makes no sense. The labs will be on stuff no one has learned, and the TAs will only get mad if you ask for help. DGDs last for 10 minutes and are useless. Good luck.

Comment:

I've had him for 2 courses, Comp arch 1&2. He is one of the worst at giving lectures just from the way he talks. He clearly likes the material and tries his best to give good lectures, but at the end of the day I fell asleep more often then not. But he is one of the nicest guys and a very gentle marker.

Nice professor, very helpful and extremely friendly.. recommend his course, assignments and exams are exactly what he teaches. You may find slides confusing if you would not listen in class, but concepts can easily be understood from next guy who concentrates iin lectures. Easy marker, easy on presentations and project.

Comment:

Groza is a hit or miss. If you have prime interest in the subject, he'll convey the subject in his little nerdish manner. However, for me at least, the slides are extremely confusing and doesn't help when you can't stay awake in his class because you have no idea what's going on.

Comment:

Extremely helpful and kind-hearted professor that' for sure. But this alone is not helpful enough. He always makes you (or atleast me) fall asleep in class even though I have 2 cups of strong coffee before his class. There is no other prof but this one that had made fall asleep ever in a lecture and I think its cause he goes on in too much detail.

Excellent Excellent Professor. Work load is high in his course and projects are tough. Even though he is a great professor and great gentleman. You can discuss problems with him, he always ready to find solution.

Comment:

Not the best lecturer around as he tends to go off on tangents which serves primarily as source of confusion. The slides have many mistakes and apparently haven't been corrected in years. He is however a generous marker, and very helpful individually. There are few surprises on the exam, midterm or quizzes.

Very nice guy. But please don't follow his slides. His teaching is good. But teaches most unwanted stuff. Overall I would say, take his subjects.

Comment:

A really nice guy full of good intents; however his slides are the most overloaded ones. Seems to have issues with large group (tends to get angry when people talks) but my group was abnormaly large. The subject needs to be studied if you don't know it. He will explain it, but in his own very nerdish way talking about flying saucers. Concentrate

Comment:

Nicest guy you'll ever have as a prof. However he is extremely difficult to follow during his lectures. Even with some prior knowledge on the subject matter, I had a hard time figuring out what he was trying to teach. Figuring out what he's going to test you on is the hardest challenge. Going to the tutorial is a good idea.

Comment:

Not exactly the most clear prof when it comes to his lectures... he has a very deranged sense of humour as well. However, everything in this course is do-able and his tests are fair. The course is not hard if you focus and study...
