Comment:

Study every single old exam. They help. Read the Antonakos book that he ****es about a lot. I mean, really really read it thoroughly, I know people at NJIT don't seem to be able to read anymore, but seriously, it's not such a damned hard class. You can get a good grade without even writing a single program. Think he's on sabbatical right now.

Comment:

He knows what he's talking about. His exams are hard to pass, simply because of the programming. The other parts of them are very easy. Go to facilitating and you'll be more than fine. It's not quite an easy A, but it's definitely not a hard class.

Comment:

He teaches very good but the way he grades programming assignments on exam and on homework, it makes it hard to pass an easy class. He gave me zero throughout the semester on programming even though my programs ran perfectly. He wants them to be done only and only his way.

Comment:

Without a doubt, one of the best at NJIT. Not only is he funny, but his teaching style is awesome. Of course, you can't get away from programming, but it's essential either way. The class is interesting and really valuable, be glad that he teaches at this school. If you want an A, get old exams and go to facilitation sessions.

Comment:

Rosenstark is the man! I love his annecdotes (sp?). Just go to facilitation and you'll pass everything. After first exam, it's all cake cuz you learned all you needed to pass. He even put to me to sleep and I still got A's. Just make sure to go to facilitation!!!

Rosenstark is awesome funny guy and teaches well material is easy too atleast 6 people got an A including myself. Tests are easy, he tells you whats on it before hand. you just have to listen and pick up the clues. imp course must know for EE 395 and beyond (for EEs) must get test questions 100% right for credit 1 mistake = low score. attend TAs

He's not as bad as people say. He can teach quite well and the class itself is not that hard. He's a tough grader, thats all. Just pay attention and you'll do fine.

Comment:

A very small insignificant man who could not relate to the real world. In order to feel better about himself he purposely makes a straight-forward class harder than it should be.

Comment:

This guy should be called prof. Rosenyenta. Grades unfairly, no curve, no partial credit, and can be a jerk all the time. Failed me in the course but re took it and got a C. Obtain old exams and you will be fine, good luck.

Comment:

He is the only choice for this class. He knows his stuff but he can't teach it. he is just around for his research projects. he could care less about students. the material is hard enough and it gets harder with him confusing us.

You have no other choice but to take him. He is not too bad. Just make sure you understand the programs. Don't miss the little examples in class, could be in the exams. Don't miss the facilitation sessions, absolutely hepful. If you can solve the old exams you got a good chance to pass yours.

Comment:

This professor has got to be the worst professor in NJIT. He simply can not teach...How he gets around that is very simple though. By using large words and a new set of computer vocabulary that EE/COE students have yet to learn, you have the advantage of saying anything you wish without contest.

He's a bad teacher,he throws around all these acronyms like you know what they mean. He also throws around a lot of technical terms, too advanced for the course, and talks like we've been studyin the subject for years, he knows his stuff but cant teach!!!

Comment:

Can be very full of himself, definitely knows what he talks about and generally explains it well. However his exams are short, difficult, and he takes off many points for small mistakes. A very difficult grader with very difficult exams.

DO NOT TAKE HIM. If you fail his exam he has the nerve to tell you to drop his class b/c he's going to fail you.

Quit trying many years ago. Wrote a textbooknobody uses but NJIT, and thinks he's God's gift. Sells stuff, makes profits, more interested in little money than teaching. Bragger, big ego. Treat him like he's god's gift and you'll do ok.

He takes off so much points for little stupid mistakes, very unfair grading. Others are right, he thinks he is the man. He WANTS people to withdraw in the beginning of semester becasue he doesnt want to deal with all the students.

Comment:

Plain and simple. He is a hard teacher(but he is fair), he wants you to know your stuff solid to give you a good grade. If you meet his standards you will be fine. Don't screw around with him because he takes his material seriously.
