Comment:
Univ. mandated chats.... he make it to 7 of 12. He chooses to have text based weekly chat hours. His response time in chat is very slow. All but disappears after mid. term. Lecture notes are just outline of topics from book. He wrote the book, and book cover states additional material is at (URL) but there is nothing there.

Comment:
This has probably the worst professor I have ever had. Course is completely self-taught. Forced to purchase the professors book, which the entire course is to read the book and answer test questions from the book. If you can avoid this professor I highly encourage you to try. This guy is just collecting a paycheck, and you are getting nothing.

Comment:
Online class: Lecture notes are scattered, abrupt, incoherent and mostly slides from the text book. Weekly multiple choice tests have at least 10% typos and language errors which can make one give wrong answers. Professor did not speak(audio) on weekly chats. Text only. Most material seems to be translated from another language with copious errors.

Comment:
Boring lectures! Taken the class for Algorithms, Quizzes have only two questions and he has no clear grading criteria. You might even end up getting 5's or 15's out of 100 despite not doing too bad. Would never recommend anyone to take his class

Comment:
In the Algorithms class (Fall 2016) he only read from slides but was not open to providing recordings. Mid-term (two of them) had just one question to be done and no marking scheme was shared (highly discretionary assessment over 100 marks). Overall grading curve was really bad.

He reads from the text book in his lectures. Boring and you will sleep right away. If you go to him for help, he would read from the text book once again.

Comp Science at Ulowell...hmm... Your on your own, teachers do nothing except mimic your text books. Went to four of his classes, fell asleep. But hey, you dont have a choice, one teacher for all of the computing classes, no options :(. Good Luck.

Comment:
Gives lecture directly from the text, then reads his slides to you. Can't give answers to class. Gives large programming projects that are difficult and stressful. You can't ask others for help. Graded on Hw,final,midterm,2 projects. 1st 1/2 easy, 2nd half not so easy.
