Comment:
Don't take morning classes. He is eccentric and does not function before his coffee kicks in. Not an enjoyable person to be around, let alone be lectured and graded by.

He knows is stuff inside and out and is a really conversational guy. Sure he drifts off topic, but he does get to everything we needed and was helpful in giving direction on the final project

Pretty great guy overall. Definitely knows his stuff and has a variety of ways to explain it. If you try in his class then he'll make sure you succeed.

Comment:
He's very enthusiastic but his lectures tend to have no direction and he is often very scatter brained. Very nice guy and super approachable. His tests are very hard compared to what he teaches and the homework tends to be a bit extensive.

Wow. Horrible. Talk about the most useless teacher ever. He is a nice guy but he rambles on about dumb stuff in class. Doesn't teach whats on the tests.

Comment:
He teaches at a very fast rate. I do not recommend taking his class at 8am if you're like me and hate math. He doesn't have the patience for sleepiness. His tests are hard, and the homework, at times, is extensive.

Can anyone say musical lecture Friday? He's an enthusiastic teacher but he does force you to learn the material so the exams range from "wow that was easy" to "ouch."

Comment:
I guess he must have changed by the time I got to take him. He doesn't give hardly any examples or how to do work by hand. It's like pulling teeth to get help from him. He's too busy talking about things we DON'T need to know instead of how to do the actual assignments.

GREATEST. PROFESSOR. EVER. End of discussion right there. I had him for CS157-8 as well, and he is a very helpful professor. That, and he is brilliant, absolutely brilliant. He even used that as support in one of this proofs - "Because I am brill

This man is a god among men. He is the best professor I have ever had, period. I'm going to miss him a lot when he goes on sabbatical. Don't leave us Caristi, we need you're vast intelligence and incredible insights.

Quite possibly the coolest Prof ever. Owns a Black Lotus "Magic the Gathering" card? Unreal. He knows the material. He knows how to teach it. He has a sense of humor. And, best of all, he'll do his best to answer your questions.
