Comment:

If you want a class to pass for sure, you can take his class but he will give you D's and C's. He is a 10 year so he does whatever he wants. He does not even teach the material, he will give you 1-2 questions on the board then leave for the day. On all his tests including the final its only like 1 question, he passes everyone in the class though.

Comment:

He's so far the most knowledgeable professor about this subject. If you want to get a good grade and learn nothing about AS then you should probably take someone else who doesn't know what he's teaching. This professor doesn't need notes, he's knowledge about the subject is wide and whatever question you have I can bet money he will have the answer

Comment:

He is NOT the best if you are not smart since he does not explain too many times. I could have gotten a better grade probably an A but in that class there were many strong students so he did not curve the grade like they say he normally do. But I learned a lot and probably will switch from CS to engineering

While he is really brilliant and one of the most knowledgeable professors I have taken a class with. On the flip side he sometimes plays chess during lectures and becomes unapproachable.

Comment:

Very knowledgeable always comes with answers. However, if you do not have a good logic then better skip him. Other professors that teach the same course are weaker and not so knowledgeable and therefore much easier to get a good grade without sweating. Also it is impossible to cheat in his examinations so be aware if this is you main plan.

Comment:

One of the worst professors in LAGCC , he does not care if you learn the topic. He will literally give you an assignment you know nothing about and leave for the day. He should not be a professor making money off that. He needs to be fired.

Comment:

Please do not take his unless u want to ruin ur GPA. I took his class this semester, to be honest, he is not responsible at all. In the whole semester, he missed at least 4 classes without sending any emails notification. What's more, his teaching materials was extremely a mess and I was unable to understand. By the way, his handwriting is so bad.

Prof knows his staff never uses notes. If the student is smart then the class is real easy and beneficial. For not a smart student I think the class can be a nightmare!

Comment:

Another professor who is there to just get paid. His teaching style is, go over once and work on an example, if you can't figure it out he will ask you to not be lazy. Very frustrating taking the class. If you need a good grade and have the time to work on your own take him, if you have a FT job like me, don't.

Comment:

He's terrible overall. He doesn't explain anything at all. He just sits at his desk and plays chess the whole class. Whenever he does get up, he just writes or "displays" a code and vaguely explains each command. I would not want to have him as my professor ever again. I am sure that most of my classmates can agree. Just terrible.

To be honest if you have brain he is the most amazing professor you will take class with and you will learn a lot. If you are not so smart or care specifically about this subject then skip his class as you will have to rely on your class friends to understand or copy. Take it with someone else who knows less but is friendly to the weak students.

Comment:

Professor Peled's class involved more self-learning than anything, and it might not entirely be his fault, but he contributes to it. He is given very basic tools to teach students in the Assembly course, but provides no effort to teaching the class anything they can apply to expand their knowledge outside of what he spoon feeds his students.
