Comment:
Amazing Professor. Always helpful about making you learn the material. He goes all out to make the students passionate about learning the material. You will like his lectures and you will like that he is extremely helpful and wants to see you learn than just get a 100 on the exam, Absolutely recommended. Not many Professors like this in CSE at PSU

He thinks that student can handle stuff(assignment) but the assignments(especially simulation)is non-sense because we can't apply things right away but he expects us to do it.

Comment:
VJ knows his stuff. He tries hard to convey it to students too. I feel the course material and pace itself is pretty tough for students to cope up with. But he is willing to help and he wants the students to understand the material than just memorize it. He won't cut marks in exams for small syntactical errors as far as you get the concepts right

This is by far the worst professor I ever had in my life, barely comes to class, and when he does makes everything more confusing. Would read the book and understand everything leave class completely lost. I would not take him. I don't even feel like I learned anything from this class, that should have been an interesting and fun class.

Good course material. This class will give you deep understanding of how computer system works. I spent most of the time reading textbook but I attended class only 3 or 4 times. And, Im expecting get an A because textbook is way better teacher than class. If you have to take this course with vijay, change your major or wait until other guy teaches.

Pretty useless, course material is good its just that the TA doesnt seem to know what hes teaching, he likes to read which why he reads all the slides to you in class ONly god can save you!! Also Vijay barely comes to class. I think he like torture students in class by asking them things about he never taught. What a miserable class.

He is a really good professor! He makes question during the class that make you think about what you're studying. Sometimes he doesn't give a full explanation but he always give you the reference to research and study that. I recommend this professor for this class.

His lectures were very clear and interesting. He does borrow the slides from Dr. Irwin but is equally proficient at presenting them. It was a smooth transition for me from Dr. Irwin's 331 class to Vijay's 431. Grades easy too.

Nice guy, but seems pretty disorganized. This class doesn't seem to have any structure. Of course, by my understanding, he hasn't taught this class before/in a long time. Pretty decent teacher though.

Welcome to CSE477. Please leave your dignity and social life in the boxes by the door. VJ can teach (if you can understand mild Indian accents), but pours on homework/projects like they're going out of style. Be prepared for huge amounts of application-ba
