Try to take someone else for CSCI 435. 88% of your grades come from test & quiz. They are not easy at all. You have to study ALOT. You will read a lot of slides. If you have to take him, don't take other tough courses with 340, you wont have enough time or energy. You will pass this course only if you study A LOT.

Comment:
Specifically makes questions on quizzes and exams as convoluted and unclear as possible. This is as much a reading comprehension class as it is a CS class. It feels like he hates his students. 100% would not recommend.

Comment:
Won't listen, won't help, won't compromise. Lectures are boring. His notes are unclear and over-complicated. Will be annoyed if somebody will ask him a question. If you have a passion for parallel programming this guy has a high potential to change your mind. Have fun. You are on your own.

I was about to change my major because of him. you need to do EVERYTHING by yourself, you need to forget that you have a professor. His review questions are prank. there is no review before the tests. His project are unsolvable. he will curve in the end of the semester. there is no extra credit. good luck with the pop quizzes.

Comment:
Weiss is extremely knowledgeable and teaches using fairly verbose notes and lectures. He's a great computer scientist, but a lousy professor. He lectures without making any real effort to make sure his students understand the material don't fall behind. Questions are usually discouraged and undermined. Avoid/take this class with any other prof

Professor Weiss has a deep understanding of the subjects he teaches. His notes are clear and concise and you will be expected to know almost everything in them. He is a hard, but fair grader. You get very specific feedback and if you follow it, you will improve. He is also very prompt with returning grades, a rarity at Hunter.

This class is hard and you will have to put in work. The exams are 70% of your grades. They are difficult but not tricky so if you study his lecture notes, you will do well. Prog assignments are fair and he gives enough time for each. He is a great professor and you will learn a lot from this class. He is very organized and also curves generously.

Comment:
The professor himself while being knowledgeable about the topics is not a good professor, I expect to end with a B-B+ range score; however, his teaching style is not sufficient nor is his pdf's regarding topics. There were 70+ students in his two classes this semester, there are now 20 for both classes. Avoid at all costs, Test heavy, very hard.

Comment:
Professor Weiss was a great professor. The material was presented in a clear, organized manner and the projects reinforced the content we learned in class. His notes are also great and I find myself frequently referring back to them even though I have finished the class. The course can definitely be challenging at times but you'll learn a lot!

This class was a LOAD of fun and very challenging. Parallel computing is rapidly expanding field as we reach the limits of moores law. Prof Weiss does an outstanding job walking you through Quinn's material and topic relevant information. His experience rubs off, a must for your CSCI career. The course material and past assignments are on his site.

Comment:
Weiss is awful. He makes the course insanely difficult and his exams are a nightmare. He's a tenured old fossil who's ways won't change. He will also talk down to you for asking too many questions or not grasping the material as quickly as he would like. Most students fail this course and even more drop it halfway in. He lectures. He doesn't teach.

Comment:
OMG! Please, avoid at all costs. Terrible teacher, terrible person. He thinks too much about himself while he teaches Perl, a programming language that is barely used anywhere. I would not recommend taking this class, there are better professors in the computer science department who know how to teach and care about their students.

Comment:
Prof. Weiss makes this course very difficult. By the end of the class half the class dropped it and from the half remaining, only half of us passed. Projects are difficult and long and exams are very difficult. Must know his notes in and out and practice the material. However, he is very organized and an excellent presenter. Very knowledgeable.

Terrible teacher. Avoid at all costs. Is not there to help you when you need him. Expects you to know how to do assignments a specific way and doesn't give proper directions or assistance. DO NOT TAKE HIM. ROTTEN APPLE OF THE COMP SCI DEPARTMENT

Very strict professor. Midterms and projects are so difficult that you are might wonder if he gives them just to make you feel bad. It's clear that he knows his stuff but he's really unhelpful.

Extremely strict. The course is unnecessarily difficult to the point where he is considered shallow and pedantic. He doesn't test theory, but will dock a lot of points for missing semicolons. Avoid!
