Comment:

Zima is one of the best CS professor in Waterloo despite his accent (actually not very hard to understand). He is very kind and helpful in his office hours. From his teaching, you can really see he knows algorithms well and tries to help you understand them through great examples.

The most incompetent and uncooperative prof I've ever had the displeasure of taking a course with. Assignments are constantly posted late with minimal/no adjustment to length. Even the final assessment was posted 4 days late when they had 2 full weeks with only 1 of 3 profs teaching to construct it. Assignments were sloppy+full of missing details.

Is very dismissive towards student grievances. Also comes across as rather rude in office hours. That being said, he has pretty good slides. Overall, he's a bearable prof, but be prepared to struggle more than any other term's offering

Bizarre professor, bizarre assignments, bizarre instruction. People seemed to like him at Laurier. Maybe he should have stayed there. The assignments are difficult and excessively tedious, even for this class, and his lecture are scattered and terrible.

Zima is one of the best professors I had at WLU. I learned a lot from his classes. Very knowledgeable and helpful professor. Replies very fast to his emails and truly cares about his students. I would take as much classes as possible with him. I totally disagree with all the negative comments students posting here about such a great professors.

Awful indeed. My high school teacher had more organized lectures than this university prof. Lectures are all of the place and his notes were useless. Overall does not look like he enjoys teaching. Very disappointing.

Absolutely terrible lectures, he was all over the place. Nothing he wrote on the board was legible. Hard to understand his accent as well. He even said at the beginning of the course that the University assigned him this course, but he didn't like teaching it. Real inspiring.

This wonderful man was my prof for cs341 and cs350. His lectures are funny, but sometimes he goes on long tangents, which can create confusion. He has a heavy Russian accent ;) He is very friendly in and out of his office. He even helps students outside o

Explanations not always clear. Sometimes glosses over important details. Nice guy, though, and isn't that bad, everything considered.
