-assignment/lab heavy course -disorganized lectures that were not always helpful -nice man with a good sense of humour -often outside of his office during posted office hours -you will have to teach yourself java as the lectures don't get you very far -some midterm questions are of a higher degree of difficulty than expected

Dr. Kobti is a great professor, he has a unique teaching style that is engaging and also very informative, posts slides but doesn't go over them in class as he prefers to show students real examples of how to use methods being taught. He is a very busy professor but he still makes time for students, and genuinely addresses any concerns.

He seems to be either under very heavy workload, or does not know how to teach an online course. He posts content once per month, and deflects criticism rather than trying to improve his techniques and raise his engagement level.

Not all topics are covered in depth, his techniques are good but more detailed lectures will be very helpful for knowledge as well as reading for exams.

Really genuine person does his best to install enthusiasm for the subject. Class difficulty depends on how familiar you are with OOP. Not super hard to pass but will need to work to get high marks. Hilarious which in this subject area is definitely welcome.

He expects you to know Java before taking this class which is ridiculous. His midterms completely screw you over, doesn't show any examples or use slides. One of the worst professors I've had in terms of teaching. You literally have to teach yourself everything if you want to try passing this class with him.

Intelligent prof, explains the material clearly and effectively. Beyond teaching the material he focused on teaching how to write good code and how to be a good programmer. Assignments were tricky and lengthy but reasonable. Midterms and final were fairly straightforward but you had to work fast to finish in time. Excellent prof, would take again.

Comment:

Way too excited about the material and is horrible at explaining things. I basically had to teach myself. This class is difficult because he expects that you have programmed in C before, even though it is an intro course and doesn't even give examples for the programs. Be sure to do all the labs to even have a clue whats going on.
