Comment:

He's a wonderful lecturer, probably one of the best in the CS department. The only downside to him is that his exams don't really matter in his class. Once you do excellent on the Home works you should get an A/ A-.

I do highly respect this guy. He is there only for teach and gives knowledge. He wants his students to understand. He and his TA are always available for explaining and making things clear for you. His exams are quite similar to his review. He gives lots and lengthy HW but you would learn a lot. He is away much better than many of CS professors .

One of the best professor in CCNY. His lectures are very clear and answers any question you might have during the class. He give 3 or 4 group projects , 1 midterm and a final exam. Make sure you read his slides to understand every concept. Exam questions are tricky and plus point if you're good in linear algebra. Make sure you participate.

Comment:

This is by far one of the best professors at CCNY. This professor really knows how to draw in his students. Unlike the other boring professors who are too involved with their field, Professor Wolberg gives you history about the subject then slowly gets your attention and keeps it. I would take him again if i had to.

This guy really is passionate, he will always try to include real world applications to what we are learning. His exams are super easy because they review is exactly the same. The homework is not too hard, just may take some time.

Comment:

Probably my favorite class of the semester. Lectures are clear and insightful, answers question, and most importantly, demonstrates live code in class. My only peeve: his curves could end up putting you at a disadvantage if averages are high. Grades should have one-to-one correspondance with performance, otherwise they're essentially meaningless.

Comment:

Really cool guy. One of the things I love about his lectures is that you'll get a bit of a history lesson to give you perspective on why what you're learning about exists. He has a lot of knowledge, and he tries very hard to convey it. Definitely not an easy A, but you get what you put into this. He also totally deserves the chili pepper.

Prof. Wolberg is definitely one of the best Compute Science professors that we have at CCNY. Very helpful, professional and confident. Great attitude and personality in and out of class. If you wanna learn how to become a REAL programmer you have to take his class. With no doubt I recommend him.Make sure you participate in class and get to know him

If u want to learn some basic Digital Circuit, this is your guy. He always answer your questions. He explains everything so that u understand. His protects are very very helpful and interesting. He doesn't use the book a lot. Exams are made from what he teaches.

He is very helpful professor. If you attend every classes and try to understand those materials, you can learn a lot and can get good grade. If you are lazy student, I recommend not taking this class.

Comment:

He is an expert in Image Processing, but his course is overly-demanding. I loved the field prior to taking this course. The lectures are mathematically intense and the slides are too sparse to be helpful. The homeworks are extremely time consuming, and challenging. If you are taking 5 courses, you will not be able to handle Wolberg.

I like Wolberg. He's one of the best professors in CCNY. If u'r not interested in the material u'll prob fall asleep in class cus he uses slides, if not u'll b ok.(sometimes). He's very smart and u can ask him things from other classes as well and he'll help u. =) He cares more about HWs than tests.

Probably the best computer science at CCNY. He knows his stuff inside out. He explains stuff in a easy manner and goes over anything a student needs. I took him for upper level courses (Image Processing, Computer Graphics) so he expects you to know how to program in C. Ppl who usually give him a bad grade are just laszy students.

He is a very good prof. Teaches well, very professional. He is the kind of guy you want to take classes with if you want to learn. He gives a lot of HW so if you are lazy or too busy with other things in your life, be careful.

Comment:

he gives 23 programs to write more that what I ever did in city college. Some was very hard and does not give extention on due date. He had a TA to help but y need a TA when students need your help? His notes are to small and just go over what is on the slide. Boring and you sleep most of the time.
