Comment:
Teaching style is OK but very high-level. Gives a lot of advanced reading assignments for classroom discussion with very less background covered in class. Grading is not very fair. Does not assign fair weightage to the work done throughout the term. Greater weightage is assigned to final exam for which the coverage in class is barely enough.

Certainly talented professor but expects a lot. He told it is an introductory course but the things he expected and work he gave is too much. Final is also very tough.

Sometimes it's hard to concentrate and listen to his classes as they are somtimes at a very slow pace and not so interesting but remembering that it is only an introduction to databases he did a fairly well job.

Pretty clear lectures, although the material in itself isn't terribly hard. I found it difficult to focus on him, though -- kept falling asleep. Assignments are fairly straightforward, and the vast majority of midterm and exam questions are straight from previous terms.

hint: look at the past midterms and exams. I also recommend checking the questions in the textbook. But don't count on the lecture to explain the textbook and vice versa.

if you have past exams, midterms then you can do extremely well in this class. many questions are reused. go to lectures as he explains things quite well. assignments and exams are average difficultly. he makes final average around 78.

Asks very broad questions in lecture and expects narrow, specific answers. Expect one or two of those to sting you on every test. Otherwise generally good.

Reasonably interesting to listen too; one of the few CS profs I've seen actually use a computer to do lectures with. However, lectures contain a lot of material which is incorrect or "simplified". Does not take criticism very well.
