Comment:
I will start by saying this is the worst professor I ever had at FAU (I am a junior). His test are EXTREMELY LONG AND DIFFICULT and you are only given 50 mins. After 50 minutes you must turn in your paper or he turns the classroom lights off.He teaches really FAST IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP UP OR EVEN TO WRITE. AVOID AT ALL COST!!

Comment:
He is not that bad. He does expect you to do your work and he will help you. I can see why people don't like him but it is far from the worst class in the world. He is very straight forward with his test and yes he can be a little rough on grading, but not unfair. If you pay attention and keep up with the reading, you will have no problem.

Comment:
He tries to teaches Logic Design and wrote a book about it. Keyword "tries". Take Logic Design with a different teacher, it's not a bad subject but he makes it seem horrible. He just doesn't know how to teach. The book won't help you much either, you should have a good teacher for this class.

Who would have known a professor who wrote his own book and founded the CSE department would be so bad?

Comment:
Horrible teacher. Avoid him like the plague. Fortunately, most of the other professors who that teach Logic Design have good scores. Take their classes. Oh my god, save yourself and avoid this professor. Even if all classes are full. Even if it the very last class you need to take to graduate. He really is that bad. You have been warned.

Comment:
He's the hardest professor I've ever met. He talks and drinks water at the same time. He spits a lot. His book is good though. You'll learn more from his books than from his lectures. I think this is why he talks like an auctioner.

Comment:
I didn't think he was that bad of a teacher. He wasn't the best, but I really had no trouble with him. If you're intelligent and can follow a professor rather quickly and easily then he's OK. The tests came right from the notes. I can see where people have trouble with him, did well in his class. Take him only if you don't need coddling.

Very harsh grader, if he does curves you won't even notice them. He wrote the book, and he lectures as if he is reading out of the book. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR,RUN!

Comment:
I appreciate when knowledgeable teachers don't slow down in order to follow material, but this guy is ridiculous. He doesn't interact, snaps whenever you ask a question or requests that he elaborate on subject matter. Since he wrote the book, you're better off just reading it instead attending class, although he does quiz frequently.

He knows a lot, but he doesn't explain that well... since his book is more understandable than him.
