Amazing prof. The course material is hard, but he teaches it very well and solicits feedback from students to improve his teaching style. He is always open to explain lecture material and go over assignments outside of class as well.

Comment:

Probably one of the best profs I've had. He's extremely passionate about the things he's teaching, and he explains the concepts very well. The course is still extremely hard though, and you have to attend his lectures. I missed 1 lecture and I was completely lost for a week. He tries to help out students as much as he can, holds many review classes

Through out all my 4 years at carleton, i can truely say that prosenjit is the best proffessor i have ever had. He knows his stuff very well and has the unique ability to convey super complex material in a way that students can easily understand. It is very rare to encounter a proffessor as great as bose. We need more people like him to teach.

One of the best profs at Carleton. Really knows how to teach and you can tell he has a passion for it. 3804 is a difficult course, but he really tries to make it as simple as he can. Really wish other profs could be like him. Thanks for a good semester!

One of my favorite professors. He explains things very well in lecture, so I suggest attending class while it is not mandatory. He is extremely helpful if you attend office hours. Finally, he provides sufficient resources such as a textbook and practice problems which are free online. Good sense of humor, and ultimately an amazing prof.

There are a few teachers in people's lives who really leave an impact, Prosenjit Bose is one of them. Not only is he an expert in his field, he truly cares about the learning his students receive. He goes above and beyond his usual office hours to make sure that you as a student gain a deep understanding of the material.

Attend those lectures because they are worth every penny. It's hard material to follow but he's an expert in the field and is ALWAYS willing to explain everything. His office hours are golden. Try to take every course he teaches because you will be thoroughly rewarded.

Hilly recommended prof. Not an easy course , but Jit is the best person to teach it. He can explain discrete math in a way anyone can understand. Try taking it with Jason Hineck then tell me the difference. Since discrete math has a little bit of Calculus and Algebra, Jits has made it easy for me to understand Math 1007 and Math 1007.

Very funny, friendly, and great at teaching. Tests are pretty easy, but assignments can be tough. Overall though you'll do well if you attend the lectures (which you'll want to, since this guy is awesome)

Assignments were unreasonable hard (TA's couldn't help). Really difficult to get a hold of him (takes weeks for him to reply to emails if not longer) A pain in the ass for PMC students Would ask questions and he would answer something different.

Love this guy. No way I'd go to these lectures if it weren't for him. As for the class itself, the tests are pretty easy and worth the bulk of the mark. The assignments are a lot harder but not worth as much.

Great Prof. Funny and Smart. Assignments were relatively difficult while tests were much easier. He posts notes online which are handwritten and can be difficult to read from time to time. Exam was multiple choice. No textbook required.

Comment:

Class isn't easy, Assignments were incredibly hard and the TAs have way to much control over what mark you can get, Class is kind of boring but he's a decent prof and a funny guy. The material is definitely tough, and TAs can screw you over if they don't like you.

A laid-back, honest and helpful professor. His lectures help to alleviate the difficulty associated with the course. Some improvements I would like to see are clearer hand-writing, and perhaps a bit more detail on the notes. Otherwise, a good prof.

We brought a first year student into a 4th year Algorithms course for the first few lectures. Jit teaches so well, our first year was keeping up, answering questions, and understanding. He makes hard topics obvious. Go out of your way to take this Professor.

Comment:

Every computer science student should be taking COMP 4804. Jit is legitimately interested in what he teaches in this course, which makes lectures much more bearable than reading notes on your own. Not a walk in the park, but far from impossible. Learned tonnes, had lots of fun, recommended fo shiz
