As a CS graduate who had to relearn all of algorithms from scratch since all Jeff taught was how to memorize his nonsense fairy tales and paste them into the tests/exams, do yourself a favor and take Algo with any other prof. You will save time, money and learn legit material that's actually applicable. Work hard and get good marks with other profs

You either like him or hate him. But he was a caring prof that was different than others that actually cared about how you did in class and tried his best to help you in any way to understand. To me, he was a great prof.

jeff is a super nice guy. also a terrible prof; insane teaching methods/ranting lectures. incomprehensible tests. got A by guessing/BSing. take if you want to copypasta slides. don't need to attend class, just have notes open when you're doing tests. don't expect to learn anything except "game" method, which is useless outside his class.

Comment:
He's a good lecturer, but his tests are hell on earth. Some of the questions are so vague to the point where it would be a coinflip to answer them (since he gives 20% if you leave something blank). He also uses this "proof game" to do logic proofs, and coming from 1019, I was unfamiliar with this since it was so unconventional.

Comment:
He stands out amongst the typical boring monotone math/comp sci professor's at york. You can tell he enjoys educating people and loves socializing. I myself am extremely introverted but it was a relief to see a prof expel so much personality and uniqueness. He really has helped me understand the subjects I learned in an abstract open minded way.

Jeff is the legend in computer science theory and a very caring prof. He would always be open for questions during a lecture so you can interrupt him if you don't understand something and he would explain stuff clearly. Computer science math courses are very challenging but luckily he's very generous with grades and gives you lots of time to think.

One of the worst eecs profs. He is clueless outside of math theory. Doesn't know any coding languages. doesn't know how to teach effectively. test's and exams are really difficult. not worth the time investment because you won't learn anything.

Jeff is the worst option for the algo course. You have to memorize and write algorithms using jeffs way (using fairy tales) otherwise you will get a low mark. But his fairytales are useless for actual algorithm analysis and job interviews

Comment:
Jeff is an excellent professor who cares about his students. His style of teaching is unorthodox which I felt was a good thing -- he explains abstract concepts in a straight forward way mentioning things like fairy god mothers or oracles. His tests were fair and if you do all of the questions for each topic you should do well!

Jeff made me reconsider my life decisions. I dropped out of York and started living a minimalistic life. Currently living in a trailer and have my own organic garden. Sometimes I talk with fairy godmother and little bird when I feel lonely

Comment:
Talks about functional characters when he tries to explain algorithms. He uses little bird, fairy godmother, and friends. These ways that he uses is very difficult to understand. He also doesnt explain what these charters mean and it will not be useful in interviews. If you can take the course with Professor Data. You will learn better.

Comment:
There are no outside resources because he teaches using weird fictional characters and if you write anything other than his mythological proofs on the tests and exam its an automatic 0. His textbook is equally as useless because there's no professional reasoning/explanations. his proofs are all based on fairy godmother and little bird
