Easy/straightforward class, but there are only 4 questions on the exams, so a small mistake can hurt your grade. The class is mostly watching pre-recorded videos and listening to him rant.

Only take Morty if he is the only choice you have. Not sure how he normally teaches, but his style of teaching online / remotely is terrible. He plays back pre-recorded videos during class. Extremely exam heavy with 90% of the grade just from exams. The class is a waste of time and you really aren't learning anything besides memorizing problems.

Horrible professor that has absolutely no idea about any of the topics he is supposed to teach. Boxes and boxes everywhere - from his website to his exams. Learn how to fill in those boxes and you will get an A. Oh and he likes to tell stories.

The exams weigh a lot in this class, do the homework and reviews quizzes and you'll be okay. Class times were pretty useless since he just played prerecorded lectures you can watch anytime. "READ THE BOOK" as he would yell 10x per class(really tho read the book). Could've been better but the TA was the actual worst TA ever initials KN.

One of the worst professors at NJIT. His lack of trying to engage the class makes it unbearable to take this class. He just talks and talks and doesnt really teach the material. Please save yourself by not taking him.

I saw a lot of negative feedback about Professor Morty but if you really pay attention to this class, he taught the core of OS. Since we all are remote because of the pandemic, his HW, Quizzes are key to the exams. He gives HW first, then he will review them after we submit, quiz will be based on HW only after the review. Exams are based on HW and

Professor Kwestel by far was one of the best professors ever. He is really funny and teaches very well. Exams are super easy. Just practice the HW and no way you will fail. If you do the HW and practice, you are guaranteed at least a B or better. You learn a lot from his class and teaching skills and he bumps you up a letter grade if you are close.

Lectures are practically useless, so you will have to rely on the book. The terrible TA that teaches the course will count your answers wrong even if they come straight from the book.

Don't get me wrong, the class is an easy A or B. You follow his class examples, do it on the homework then repeat it on the exams with slight changes. But the professor himself is awful. He ignores emails and question. Berates you if you ask questions in class. In short, he doesn't care. You don't learn anything from him. You just memorize hw steps

His recorded lectures were OK, but you still need to read the book. He made all sorts of assumptions on tests and assignments and refused to clarify them. He does not have online office hours and does not respond to questions. I had to take time off work to go to his office to ask him questions. The tests were ridiculously easy.

Takes forever to responds to emails and sometimes doesn't even respond. Took 2 days to respond to emails and homework sometimes is due within 2 days so he doesn't even help with the homework. Usually late to class. Exams are based on the homework and literally anything that was in the textbook. He gets off topic very easily and often.

Professor Kwestel is the nicest professor on campus, he gets off topic very easily and if you dont like professors talking about non-sense then dont take him. when he is on topic he is always on point, and knows the material so if you have a question just ask. he breaks everything down to make sense for everyone.

He shows you how to do the homeworks in class and the tests are 80% homework and 20% vocab from the book. He goes on long tangents unrelated to the lecture, but it can be funny sometimes. If you really want to learn OS concepts, Kwestel will disappoint you. If you just want to pass for your degree, it's easy to do well.

He's ok. Class could be funny. He's an old man who means well. He will definitely answer any question because he knows a lot. An interesting person. Easy class, but you have to read a lot. Refer to the internet to find old class material. Two exams and about 10 homework. Will curve your grade if you do all the homework

Comment:
Not a difficult class, if all you care about is an easy class to pass he is a good choice. But it is likely you will resent the man. He regularly embarrasses students who ask legitimate questions, while actively encouraging questions. He's a grouchy man, but can be funny. His exams have few questions on them, so even good students can get unlucky.

Get ready to listen to this professor rant about pretty much anything except computer science. He has talked about anything from potatoes to recycling. He gets off topic very easily. He will make you feel bad for asking questions: "You asking me that tells me that you didn't read the book! You should already know that". Overall easy class though.
