Comment:

Despite everyone else's opinion, I really like Elazmeh. He knows his stuff and it shows. Yes, his tests were hard, but he did bell curve them, and I ended up doing very well on both of them. Overall, I think he's a great proff.

Comment:

Very fast at teaching. Very sarcastic from what I remember. I wasn't able to finish the midterm cause it was so long and the last 2 questions were worth the most. The average was insanely low.

Comment:

Best CIS prof. SO much better than Li, explains things, is concise, and he is NOT DIFFICULT, especially in comparison to Li. I only wish I had him now for 242. Thank you Elazmeh, we miss you... don't listen to the others.

Comment:

At my time, questions on his midterm were worth 20 marks each, but you could only get either 0 or 20 on them. Why out of 20 if there's no potential of getting 1-19? Ridiculous.

Comment:

Maybe its just because this was the "weeding" out course but I did not like his testing methods at all! I guess his teaching methods aren't that bad but considering how many people dropped and the craziness of the midterm :(

Comment:

Goes on and on about problems that don't exist, takes marks off for correct code and style because he wants us to be sure we know what we're doing. Refuses to return any marks. He gets off on the sound of angry students. He has no credibility with faculty

Comment:

On the one hand, he speaks clearly, on the other, he's a being of pure evil. You know the teacher on Invader Zim? That's not far off. Granted, he's never come to class and said "Doom, Doom, Doom!" but I think he'd like to.
