Comment:

I do understand Computer Vision better now, but Chandra is wildly inefficient in "teaching". He never explains anything in layman terms or matter-of-fact, he's always using abstract matrix algebra. He assumes that some topics are so easy to understand that he doesn't explain them, and ironically, become the hardest parts to teach yourself.

Comment:

Had for computer vision. HORRIBLE class and professor. The best I can describe the whole experience was chaos. If you ask a question, he lingers mid sentence and moves on. Instructions are not clear for anything. Homework is easy at least, however projects feel totally impossible. I would not want my worst enemy to take this class or professor.

I've taken many classes at UD, but this is the only one that's been a complete trainwreck. I have a bit of empathy because covid, but lectures are disorganized and assignments are unclear. The timelines are aggressive, we had a midterm followed by a homework and programming assignment all due within 5 days, only plus being deadlines are flexible

I took his computer vision class because I was very interested in the subject, but I did not get what I expect from the class. Lectures were very disorganized, he will keep jumping between slides, project are easy to do if you are good in programing. Exams are very tough, plus he will curve down grades if too many people did good in the class.

Comment:

Chandra is one of the worst professors to take a fundamental class with. He is completely disorganized and extremely missy. He will assign homework and project without any instruction and expect you know know what to do. He will examen you in concepts that he never thought before. If you want to have a semester full of confusion take his class.

I took computer vision class. - Had to study from text books, online videos to understand the concepts - Prof is very helpful, accessible outside class. Just drop at his office! - Get ready for doing lots of programming. Pretty cool stuff. - Review his slides, you will be good in exams. Not a tough grader at all.

After not doing so well on my first exam, I decided to attend his office hours. He really does care about each student's success. He helped me understand the class more and I did much better on the next few exams

Clicker every class. Tests are super easy but the labs and programs are more difficult. Not a bad class.

Definitely take him for CISC106 if you can. The material is pretty easy, even for beginners and he extends the dates of pretty much every lab. Tests are not hard and even if you get his clicker questions wrong, you still get full credit for participation. He is a nice guy and he goes over pretty much everything you'll need for lab in lecture

This class is easy, even for beginners! Tests are straight from the lecture notes. Labs are very easy and don't take long to complete. The professor gives you all the programming you need for them. As long as you go to class, it's not difficult to get a good grade.

Easy class. Very slow pace and he postpones deadlines several weeks. Tests are simple and straight from lectures. Labs don't take very long if you take notes in class because he gives you literally everything you need. I don't understand all of the negative reviews here- probably people who aren't suited for compsci.

Chandra doesn't appear to know how to use a computer, much less how to teach a computer science course. Only take it if you mostly know how to program already and don't get frustrated easily.

very nice and always willing to answer questions,but he's unclear when it comes to assignments and the lectures are so boring. The hw and labs are very time consuming (2-6 hr/wk).Tests require you to memorize errors, definitions, and programs he goes over in class. It's easy to make stupid mistakes on his tests. Books you buy only serve as reference and used for some hw.TA does not communicate with prof so labs you do don't reflect test material.

Prof K is a decent professor, but if you have never had programming before, this is going to be hard. Tests are hard for beginners, labs are reasonable, and just take good notes. Textbooks are required and used frequently. Work is time consuming.

showed little interest in teaching the class, and missed several lectures. Tests were too hard, and projects too long. Take another professor if you can, or break up with your girlfriend because you won't have time for her anymore...
