Boring!!!!! You come to class and watch students sleep, play computer games, watch movies, or do other stuff. It's the most boring thing ever. Consider this class as a flex period to just work on whatever you want. Enjoy his funny personal stories!

Comment:
20% of grade was homework, try to do well, find answer manual to previous copy of book as well as pdf of old version. The new revised book has the same questions but different numbers. Test are open book but honestly have no idea how/where these questions came from! Honestly just read the book and know the homework.

Comment:
He is the worst professor ever in my life. He does not use BB, so the only way that you can check the grade come to him personally, but he does not even show up in his office during office hour. No need to explain more, and you will figure out how horrible he is, once you attend at first class.

Comment:
He spends the first half of class time talking about his personal life, and the second half reading directly from slides. His grading is arbitrary and ridiculous; don't try to use any big words in your papers because they confuse him. Actually everything confuses him. You will not learn how to improve your writing from this man.

Spends at least half the lecture time talking about his personal life. Reads word-for-word the lecture slides without knowing the material. Is extremely picky in grading and marks things wrong unnecessarily on papers.

Comment:
Doesn't give proficiencies to anyone. Gives assignment direct from the book. Penalizes if answer matches the solutions manual. Teaches by sitting and delivering. Lame efforts to make the class interesting by giving stupid anecdotes (as if the class is not enough to make u sleep). Many absentees in the class. People come only on exam days.

Comment:
His HWs are long, & at times tedious, but they help you understand the material. He is very helpful unlike most professors in Stony Brook. He's funny & very relaxed and knows his stuff. He might wander off talking about his experiences during lecture & while that might be distracting, it really gives you insight into the industry and its history.

He's helpful and takes interest in his students. Very approachable.Will sit with you and go through everything till you understand even if it means sitting for a couple of hours after class and getting home late.Generally tends to be late by a couple of minutes. His knowledge for the subject is immense and his zeal,unrivaled.One of the better Profs

He is kind of a rough grader but the class isn't hard. Do the writing assignments, do the revisions he asks. He's a little annoying with how he wants things done (1.5 spacing, not over or under the word number requirements), but that's not too bad. He's a good guy to take CSE 300 with.

Do nothing to help students passing his stupid requirement. Insultin' students like "you're not likely to pass; you might have to revise your essay" even before reading it. Being picky won't help students AT ALL!

Not on time. Did not help students with writing problems. Insults student of their hard work. Assumes students would redo the 8+ page 1.5 spaced paper nonstop within 2-3 days without need to take other classes. Tortures students taking writing req. in Fall 04 for the CS Department's "accreditation".
