Comment:
Horrible! Missed class once amd didn't send an email. Decided to add an extra class on Fridays and cut the 1.5 hr classes to 1 hr. ended lecture whenever he felt like it. When we asked him questions we didn't get a straight answer. Nobody knew when anything was due. Highly disorganized! Need I say more. Don't take him.

Comment:
This professor is one of the best I have ever learned under. His clarity and thoughtfulness only complemented his amazing intellect. I hope that he continues to teach for a long time, so that we, as students, may benefit from him. The exams and homework are very difficult. Lecture is very clear. I got a B-, after first taking the class with Olsson.

Comment:
I don't know what everyone is raving about frankly. He wasn't particularly helpful answering questions in class, he wasn't very accessible outside class, the exams were nearly impossible to finish in time, and there was no curve. I didn't do poorly, maybe I should have so I could take this class again. :(

A good teacher, very friendly, but expects a lot and very hard. If you plan to take 150 with him in the future, becareful, he plans on making you build a whole operating system from scratch in the future, as if editing one is not hard enough as it is.

Hands down the best ECS professor at Davis. He is clear and helpful, and even hands out all the lecture notes in class, so all you have to do is pay attention. Tests and projects are difficult, but this is a great class and he teaches it really well and is very organized and precise.

I also took ECS 140A from professor Pandey, and I can honestly say he is the best CS professor I've had at UCD. He doesn't just read off PowerPoint slides like so many other teachers. He loves to answer questions and is passionate about Computer Science.

Pandey is very passionate about the material, and it's contagious. I really liked his class. The project is a lot of work, but if you finish it and do mediocre on everything else you'll get an A or B.

If you go through the UCD computer science program and don't take his compiler class, you're insane. Hardest and best class I took there. Seriously...take this class.

Excellent teaching style, fuses a lot of material together. Very approachable, and answers questions in great detail (don't listen to the loser bellow). Pandey's the best CS prof I've ever had

Never answers student questions. Always says "let me get to it" and then forgets. Teaches so abstractly, yet expects you to apply to concrete homework examples. Very difficult midterms, where hardly no one finishes.
