Comment:
This prof was by far the most boring professor i could ask for, his lectures put me to sleep. His exam was vague and not clear once so ever. Did not stick to syllabus at all and in result made it difficult to get marks. Assignments were very tough as well. But if you know your stuff you should be able to pass:)

Robert Kent will make you work hard. His course was the hardest I've ever taken, but it was also my favourite. He will make sure you actually understand the fine details of the topics at hand, and the workload is heavy. Put in the work to get a good grade.

You are extremely lucky if you get a chance to take a class with this man. Has two PhDs, knows his stuff but best of all: cares so much about the students and what you get from his class. His lectures are very enjoyable because of his passion and knowledge in the field. If every course was taught by him, we would be a top 3 CS school in Canada.

Absolutely legendary prof. He really cares about his students and it shows through his teachings. Hands down the best teacher at uWindsor. He really understands the content and makes you understand just as well. While his course takes effort, it is absolutely worth and he makes it really enjoyable.

Comment:
Lectures were interesting, but mostly philosophical rambling and minute details that aren't helpful for learning to do assignments and tests. He'll help you through the practical stuff if you ask though. Tests were easy (they're really similar to the ones on his website), assignments were fairly hard. Good class but requires initiative to do well.

Extremely arrogant, often makes offensive comments to students or other professors. Spent 10-15 minutes discouraging students from computer science every single class.

Comment:
He was a very clear and effective speaker. The labs were excellent. The tests however don't reflect your knowledge. They consist of MC questions with tricky language that just gets in the way. I spent my time learning the material, but I should have spent my time learning his style. I find that unfortunate.

Knows his material inside and out. Can always count on his examples and anecdotes for a laugh. I learned more from reviewing his slideshows individually since he does like to go quickly. LABS: these take a long time - do them ahead of time and register for one later in the week cuz sometimes he hasn't gotten to the required material in time.

A very bright fellow who expects standards that are typically unpopular. An excellent lecturer with no interest in resorting to sock puppets in order to entertain those who do not belong there.

Comment:
Expects a decent amount of work, but makes it very worthwhile. In Digital Design, the final project was one of my proudest achievements. His way of teaching the course makes you learn the material, otherwise you are screwed. If you can take 265 with Dr. Kent, do it. It's a great experience.
