Comment:

COME ON CONCORDIA. This is the most important course in the computer science graduate diploma because its context is used most cs related interviews and understanding concept is very crucial. And this is the WORST prof ever teaching this course just does not make sense at all. I would say AVOID at all cost but this is a core course so I can't.

Comment:

For COMP353, You'll have to work hard to pass the quizzes. REVIEW your quizzes with TAs so you better handle mcqs. Project and Assignments are heavy. Team up with good students (and be a good one) or else you'll fail. A good team will get you a good grade. The prof? USELESS. Lectures? USELESS.

Comment:

He is not at all as bad as the other reviews make him appear. He gives actually decent lectures but with a very low and boring voice and at the end of the semester, 95% of the class was skipping. The quizzes he gives are hard but fair, there is no midterm or final in his class, the real problem is the delusional length of the final project.

Most chaotic class I ever had. Huge amount of stuff to learn (Datalog, Relational Algebra, Relational Calculus, Relational Design, and much more), very hard quizzes and also a huge amount of work to do to finish the assignments and the group project. My worst class by far.

Comment:

Please listen to other reviews. They are absolutely right. I thought it couldn't be so bad... Big mistake. I took COMP353 with Desai Bipin and I can tell you, it's been the worst class I've taken at Concordia so far. His quizzes are EXTREMELY hard and it isn't realistic to finish the quiz in time. I should have swapped classes.

Changes assignment contents after it has been sent out, secretly, without notifying student. You get your surprise reviewing assignment 1 hour before submitting it, quite a lot of fun! Relatively easy on assignment marks. Have unclear assignment and quiz instructions and quite a lot of mistakes in slides and quizzes.

Comment:

Extremely strict with his rules. but not a bad person at heart. Though this does not make him a good teacher. All he does in class is read out his pre-prepared slides. If you have the option to, dont pick this course.

Comment:

Implements the worst peer review system I have ever seen. You basically either all agree among team mates to give each other 100 for every assignment, or see the whole thing go sideways because with every assignment grade out you can see how much your peers rated you and it's directly correlated to the assignment mark. No need to attend 5511 class.

Comment:

He has a set of slides that he reads monotonously in the class. Only attended the first two classes before realising there's no use of attending his classes. He has zero interest in teaching. Easy to score full marks on the assignments. Study only from the slides for the exams. Understand how each data structure works, to score well in the quizzes.

Comment:

He is a terrible teacher. His final project outline was terribly written, he expected us to know and implement stuff that was not covered in class. As a teacher he is petty, unavailable and provides no feedback, quizzes are incomprehensible and worth the majority of your grade. A waste of my time and money overall. Take someone else for databases

Comment:

I've never seen such a failure as a teacher in 17 years of schooling. His quizzes (10% each!) are SYNTAXIALLY INCOMPREHENSIBLE which makes studying USELESS for them. Class avg: 35%. His assignments are long and worth 2.5% each. VERY long project. Rude, doesn't answer questions, etc. Hands down cancer of SOEN program in teaching. Just don't.

Comment:

Quizzes are worth 40%. They are designed to let you fail. Every questions has more than one possible answers. If you miss one, you lose the whole marks. If you select one choice that's not correct, you also lose the entire marks. So the average of every quizzes is roughly 40%-50%. It's a guessing game. Even if you study, you will fail the his quiz.

Comment:

A legendary bad professor, avoid him at all costs. His writing contains mistakes that make it unintelligible (except to himself) so it's hard to read slides, understand the project requirements or pass his online quizzes. His website is a disaster and makes everything complicated. He is rude and blames you for failing instead of improving himself.

Comment:

He is so bad that less than half the class shows up for his lectures. He is basically just reading his incomprehensible slides. You are better off learning from the internet than to try to understand what he's saying in class. The quizzes and assignments are riddled with English mistakes that makes understanding them difficult. Good luck passing!

Comment:

When asking him to clarify some of the quiz questions he'll either just stare at you or tell you should understand it and that deciphering his confusing, not to mention riddled with typos, quizzes is part of the quiz. The questions usually don't make sense and the majority are slightly reworded versions of previous questions.
