If you want to learn how to write code the right way and walk away from the class better than what you started as, professor Nat is the way to go. I took data structures with him and I learned a lot and he is fun guy as well.

Comment:

CS major is difficult and requires a strong study habit which Prof. Kumaresan helps prepare you for. He is extremely knowledgable and helps guide you and make sure you're on the right path, but he will not hold your hand. If you are expecting to be spoon fed, this is not the class for you, or the major to be blunt.

Prof. Nat is a nice guy. However, his lecture was not so clear. He would give pop quiz out of no where, his written test was hard, make sure your understand everything in class.

DO NOT TAKE HIM. He doesn't teach, he doesn't like to teach, he wont respond your question, instead he will ask another student to answer you, if someone ask him to put the info in Icollege he says he doesnt have time to do it, if you ask question in his office hours he ask you to go to the library . Go to another campus and take a better one .

Comment:

I took him at Dunwoody. I was new to programming and understood the basics pretty well, but as we advanced into the course, it became a hell lot confusing. If you already know programming take him. If you are new, DO NOT TAKE HIM. Even if you do not have an option do something else but please do not take him. His assignments are tough as hell.

Take him and you will regret it. Out of the 30 students that were in the class at the beginning of the semester, only 8 remained by Final Exam time. Everyone else withdrew from the class. 6 of those 8 students cheated on every test and still made a B in the class. teacher has got to be on some type of list of worst teachers in history of the world

Comment:

This teacher is the worst teacher in possible history. If you think you could take notes in this class. Think again. He just takes everything out of the book and then expects you to know it instantly. He literally slides through each of powerpoints in a matter of seconds. Good luck if you don't know how to program. I already knew.

Study the book and practice coding! He doesn't make the course easy but it isn't that hard. I studied a few hours the night before each tests and made straight B's. He gives extra credit and the tests are really not that hard.

If you register for his class, you are paying $ to teach yourself the material because Nat doesn't teach you anything. He doesn't drop any of the impossible tests he gives. Terrible terrible teacher who is supposed to be educating engineers and programmers. Don't take him.

Comment:

Unless you have previous expirence in Java or very comfortable learning on your own, DO NOT TAKE. If you dont understand the material he is very rude and condescending. I'm sure he's a good programmer but he's an awful teacher. He gives no second chances and is very cut throat to those who struggle. Really avoid the class at all costs.

Comment:

He is a good professor, if you truly want to learn how to program! He is passionate and experienced in the subject.Be prepared to read the book ahead and ask questions in class.He is likes to help students that are interested, but not the lazy ones.Come to class, read the book, pratice the exercises and turn in all your projects even if with errors

I'm taking his class again and I think I'm beginning to like the class. It is still hard but we are using a new book now and it's so much better than the last book. Example he gives you in class is very important so don't miss that. Go to his office more often if possible.

Comment:

His style relies a lot on the text. If nobody asks questions bec. no one has done the reading homewk, he'll move on or ask you to code somethg in 2 mins. Exams can be easy if you read and practice from class/book exercises. He'll often give a lot of partial pts for incomplete/buggy code. If you dislike fast-paced, don't take any CS in the summer.

Comment:

This class covers total 10 chapters and he goes over 1 chapter per week. Extremely fast pace and you are required to read the whole book. There are only two tests and a final exam. So, if you fail one, the chances you will get an A is very low. Absolutely no extra credit, no curve. Good luck.

Comment:

So maybe he's smart. It's great that he has real world experience, but let's be honest, he doesn't kno how to teach. For those of you who have comp background, his class will be fun but I warn you, he will challenge you. He just don't understand why ppl don't get it right away.

Comment:

Bad teacher. Not patient at all.Doesn't explain material well. Maybe for people who are interested in Computer Science he might be good.If you don't have any prior knowledge about computers it will be very difficult class. I don't mind to work hard but this was way too much work just to survive. Yes, he doesn't get it that people don't get it...
