Comment:
The class is very hard when taken online with no previous coding experience. Also very hard to get help from outside sources considering the whole class is solely written by the professor. The only thing that was good is the exam at the end of the class. The exam is fairly easy and doesn't include materials learned towards the end of the class.

Comment:
I have had Simha for 2 courses. He is a great and smart prof. He really cares if you learn and understand what he is teaching. With that said, in both classes he gave us soo much work outside of class; it can be daunting and very time consuming. But he is always accessible out of class and very approachable if you need help understanding something.

Comment:
This online class comes with an insane amount of work. The amount of problems you have to complete within a week is not reasonable. There are modules that have taken over 13 hours to complete. I highly recommend NOT taking this course if you have never learned how to program before. This class is not worth it, get into the lecture.

the way the class was structured was very clear and in-depth, considering it was an online class. When getting stuck, the TA was always a lot of help, as well as many other resources we were given. Work heavy course, but worth it

Good professor, hard class. Lots of work. Weekly assignments that at sometimes seem impossible. TA will get you through it. Start early!

Comment:
His lectures cover a lot of breadth, but he tries to infuse it with a lot of depth. The result is that it's easy to feel like you're missing a lot as a student, even when putting in the effort. He seems to deliberately overwhelm students, to push them, but a little too hard. I would've preferred more depth than lots of spread out information.

Comment:
He's a witty and sage-like lecturer. With that said, he can come off as intense and inflexible if you are confused. There is a good deal of work in his class, but depending on the TA the grading can be quite good. If you're reading this, it's mandatory; but I'd recommend it anyway.

Excellent professor. Lectures could get a bit muddled at times, but he knows exactly what he's talking about and is passionate about it as well. Very helpful towards students. Highly recommended.

As long as you like programming, you'll love this class. He knows what he's doing, but prepare to spend a lot of time outside of class if you want an A. If you don't want to make effort outside of class, major in something other than Computer Science. Great teacher.

He's a very good teacher, and as lame as his jokes may be, you can't help but smile at them.
