Really nice guy, a bit hard to understand and doesn't explain things well but I took intro to open source so he wasn't lecturing most of the time. The class suits him well, definitely recommend. Genuinely cares about students and inspiring open source creation

Moorthy is a very passionate professor. If you can get past his accent (Which is a problem for some people) then he is a great professor. He knows the material and is always ready to help. He is invested into his students.

Professor Moorthy, overall, was pretty good. He is a very entertaining lecturer and presents the material well. Sometimes the tests could be quite difficult, but that comes with the territory.

Comment:
I had him twice: once for Algorithms and once for ModComp. In Algorithms, the TAs ruined that class as some TAs didn't give partial credit so a lot of is TA-dependent. Moorthy is helpful, he has a facebook you can even use to ask him questions. However, his lectures are fast-moving and hard to understand.

Comment:
Moorthy is the best professor at RPI, aside from R. Grice. His lectures are hilarious, but only if you pay attention. He is ALWAYS willing to help and loves to teach. His accent isn't too difficult to understand. I think he is a bot though, he responds to all E-mails in roughly 29.7 seconds flat....

He's knowledgeable and has a good sense of humor, but I really had a lot of trouble understanding him because of his accent. I skipped most of the lectures but luckily you can learn most of the material from the textbook.

Professor Moorthy's Models of Computation class was very enjoyable. I've heard very mixed opinions about him coming into this class, but there really is nothing to complain about. He does have an accent, but he's very understandable.

Moorthy's a great teacher. He knows his stuff, but the accent does provide some trouble at times. He's very helpful if you seek him out, pay attention and go to his office hours if you need help.

Good teacher. His accent was a bit tough to understand at times, but he was good at explaining, and cracked an occasional joke, in his own kinda way. Very helpful too. He went out of his way at one point to meet me for extra help late evening because I had such a busy schedule.

Projects were difficult, and he spent lectures teaching us "magic tricks" (which was really just math).If you had questions he recommended you use google. He did curve tests though, but the projects were very time consuming and frustrating

Comment:
The course material is difficult and demanding. The projects are very difficult and should be started on immediately. He's very helpful if you seek him for help. Class is only semi-useful. He can be difficult to understand, especially when he gets excited about a topic.

Can't understand a word he says in lecture and he has poor organization and teaching skills. He makes things more complicated than it seems. I was really looking foward to taking this course, but he made this course hell for me

Can't understand what he says. He jumps from point 1 to point 5 without explaining how he got there. Hws are graded pretty tough but the projects are ok.

Lectures are tough, but if you go see him to get help he will basically walk you through anything you have trouble with. Gives projects which are involve little more than cutting and pasting code together.

Good teacher. In his class you can learn as much or as little as you want to really. He makes the tests and projects pretty easy. Tries to get the class involved in discussions. His accent isn't bad at all compared to many other TA's and professors.
