CollegeThis class is for ERSP. This is my third class with Professor Matni, and he did NOT disappoint. Fun class and really caring guy. Go to his office hours; he loves giving students advice! Professor Matni is a key reason my experience in the CS department has been good so far (i am currently a second year).
Professor Matni is one of the best in the CS department. He's funny, fair, and a great communicator. The class is tough but his lectures and office hours are set up for you to succeed. He makes sure you understand the content if you put in the work. Quizzes are every other week (one dropped), no midterm, and a fair final. Take his class if you can!
Great prof and great lecturer who is a genuinely nice guy, grade is based on homework which he grades very strictly, biweekly quizzes which are challenging but you should be fine if you go to lecture and study (he drops lowest one), and final which was hard but straightforward
Great lectures, very obvious that Professor Matni cares about his students' learning and the subject itself. He teaches with both slideshows and code demonstrations, so the lectures aren't hard to understand.
Professor Matni is awesome! I've had him for two different classes now, and each time, his enthusiasm and attitude make learning easier and more enjoyable. No midterm, quizzes every other week and a final exam, plus weekly homework and sections. Teacher and TAs are easy to reach for questions, and helpful with explanations!
Super good lecturer. Homeworks were hard, but prepared you well for quizzes/final. exams made up 70% of your grade. very fair grading on quizzes, exams, and hw. difficult class overall but that should be expected. highly recommend going to lectures and office hours
