Comment:

Deep down, Sabharwal is a caring guy, and if you talk to him he'll do a bit of listening. But as a professor he's well past his prime. I want to give him credit that he was better pre-stroke, but his instruction is completely lacking. The only thing that carries most people in this class is that the graders don't understand his rubrics so easy A's.

Please take someone else if you can. The guy is older than dirt. He talks with a slur and sounds like he is having a stroke. He barely knows how to work Microsoft Word. He calls out students to answer questions during lectures. He has a very hard time hearing or understanding any of his students in online class. Avoid this prof if you can help it.

Very poor instructions on assignments and can be very rude to students when they ask questions. Is also very hard to understand at times and his handwriting doesn't help either. Very bad with technology and will spend a lot of class time fiddling with it.

Confusing lectures, homework, and exams. Nice enough professor with some mercy shown, but the entire course is so unorganized. Several exams featured questions w/answers already so opportunity to score points were removed. Assigned three massive projects at the very end.

The material is easy but he is an awful teacher, very slow-minded, terrible with technology (i.e. minimizing a screen, dragging a window, etc.) everything about him as a teacher screams incompetence.

When I first got him, I was scared because of how poorly people rated him. But Dr. Sabharwal is an amazing professor. As long as you do your work and attend class you'll do fine. Test are graded very leniently and he is willing to help if you are struggling.

Explains concepts very well, but is slow in doing so most people tune out. Easy class if decent at math. He shows all formulas on the board and usually does examples as well.

He definitely isn't a great professor. He is quiet and his accent makes him hard to understand. He is very nice though, and he will give partial credit very easily on questions as long as you know just a little bit. Keep in mind that he gives frequent quizzes. His lectures are not very helpful, and I ended up learning everything online via YouTube.

Hands down one of the worst professor's I have ever had the opportunity to experience. Mumbles very quietly throughout lectures, on top of having a very thick accent. Lecture notes are horrendously disorganized, and everything he writes on the board is completely useless. Inconsistently, and very harshly, grades quizzes and exams.

Has recently changed teaching style, he is now unclear in expectations, and can not clearly explain course. He skips around material and likes to surprise students with homework assignments. Homework has little to nothing to do with the test, and may even demonstrate what you'll never be tested over.

Very poor lecturer. Does not know material. He may have been good with mathematics principles 40 + years ago, but he is now too antiquated in knowledge and ability to be useful. His grading is horribly subjective and he doesn't like to admit he is wrong. Nice for the most part, but incredibly rude for every 1/8ish students. No rhyme or reason.

Not a great teacher. He knows the material but he has difficulty conveying it. He expects us to read the book on top of lecture which most people were not willing to do. He didn't give any quizes in my class, as of SP16. Tests are important, but he is has done grade replacement on the second one. All I can say is study.

A lot of time was wasted in class because professor could not figure out how to use his computer. Gave out lots of quizzes in which you will not be prepared for. Class was just made out to be boring. Lots of errors when grading homework/tests and you had to ask for points back on questions you answered correctly. Just run.

While not very good at explaining things, he does cover a wide range of interesting computer science problems. Prepare for very shallow lectures and confusing homework.

Horrible Prof. Mumbles everything, sets up his office hours so it's impossible to get help, if you don't understand the question he repeats it rather than phrasing it differently. That being said, do the Homework, get an A. The study guides he hands out, are just the tests with a few more questions tacked on.

I'm sure that somewhere in his head he has a clear picture of what's going on. It never leaves his head. Prepare for unclear lectures, notes that go back and forth between unrelated topics, and assignments where you can't even be sure of what to turn in. He couldn't explain anything to save his life.

He is, by far, the worst teacher I've had. He is a relatively nice guy, but beyond that he is a bad teacher in every sense. Can't understand him or his handwriting, doesn't cover material needed, doesn't assign appropriate homework or even have due dates that make sense. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Comment:

Top 5 worst at this university. Teaches a programming class & he can't operate a computer well enough to lecture. Difficult to understand, mumbles a lot and trails off to an inaudible level. Poor handwriting so taking notes is hard. Fails you if you use methods not covered class or if he would have done it differently.
