Very good proffesor. Had the ability to keep the attention of the class. You will have all the slides from the beggining so is not neccesary to attend to all the classes but it provides very usefull tips on class for examination. Very passionate about the topics, is very open to talk after class. One of the best prof.

You have all the slides and syllabus available to you from the get go so you can prepare yourself well ahead of time, the mids and final are very easy since most of the questions are abstract. If you start working your project early you should have a smooth sail. This course is a must take for anyone keen on software testing.

Comment:

his teaching is fine. But the project that he expects from the student from the short period of time is really hectic. if you are a undergrad you can take this course. but graduate students who took this course with me either dropped it or they were failed by the professor.

Comment:

this guy marks one thing the entire term and thats the final, leaving you with no idea of how he marks until the last moment. the finals look easy and are finished quickly, but he marks them very hard so expect to drop 10 or 20 percent because of it. his lectures are extremely boring and will make you want to blow your face off.

Comment:

This prof will make you hate software engineering for life! Mandatory labs are torture, for which you'll be given 10% of your final mark regardless of whether you've done anything or not. The final exam looks so easy you finish it in two hours, but he marks it SO HARD you wish you were never born. Too bad he's the only one teaching this course...

Comment:

Listen, he is totally not bad. I did fail one of his courses, but he has gotten a lot better recently. He is very smart and really enjoys what he teaches. Very hard to do well, and you need to study everything, but you will really know a lot by the end. He is not going to let you get away with anything.

Comment:

If you don't mind all your work just rewards you a B- or F,just take this course. He doesn't know what he's talking, what he wants you do,you can't find him during his office hour, he'll let you know your grades at last min so that you don't have time complain. He is a smile killer, taking his course is suicide. People from Asia plz believe me.

This man is doing reseach on students. particulary the labs he assigns, they are totaly a reseach for one of his future projects and not a learning process coz the help you get in these labs is zero and no feedback.

This guys is just evil. Gives you all the marks you want before the exam and pretends to be a nice guy. Then screws you over on the exam. Can't fight it, cuz the remarkers are his 2 UML buddies Ajila and Bryant. I know couple ppl who Ombuds'd they're way to what they deserved.

Worst class EVER! If you're thinking of taking this as an elective, for some unknown reason, DO NOT! This guy's a HACK! He teaches you nothing, and his labs are USELESS! They're for him to do research on you, not for you to learn anything! I HATE THIS GUY!

Comment:

Seems like a decent guy but his assignments are pointless and his test are way too long. Doesn't really seem to have and goals for the class other than to put a lot of material in the students lap and get a bell curve out of student's marks in the end. Don't take this course as an elective!
