Comment:

A great guy. Really helpful in the office hours. But the assignments are quite difficult. So are the tests. Grading is very tough. A very difficult course indeed. One needs to spend a lot of time to properly handle the different aspects of the course.

Comment:

He knows the material well. I personally wouldn't recommend taking this course with him if there is an option. In my experience he is not fair & consistent in grading at all. This course requires a lot of work which is fine, there are lots of techniques to be covered. I personally learnt mostly from the textbook. Good book, some typos though.

Comment:

I'm doing well in his course, but it's not his doing at all. The textbook is excellent. His weekly quizzes contain material he never did in class, and when a student in our section commented on how we were only to be quizzed on material taught in class, the student was told his point was not valid. Smart, but not personable, doesn't care about you.

Comment:

Very good lecturer. I don't know why others don't like him. I think he was a pretty good professor. His teaching style is good. He doesn't linger on stupid questions if no one is going to answer. He gets all the material done, mostly on time, so you don't get too behind. Also, the Mat Sci book is a good read, so read it.

Comment:

Knows his stuff and also teaches it well. But he also expects you to know it well (nothing wrong with that). You walk out as a different person from his course. Gives a deep insight. But be prepared to work hard or else drop the course.

Comment:

He was my IED professor, and he did less than the minimum asked of him. He provided no help when we were designing our project, and did nothing but criticize us on our work, even though we worked very very hard on the entire course.
