CMPTGCS1B . Matni Z A 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

Professor Matni gives super clear lectures; he even records supplementary videos as further clarifications. He has a perfect balance between teaching and exercising in class, and is really willing to help you learn stuff. Grading consists of weekly quizzes, weekly assignments - worksheets or coding, some can be super long (13 pages) - and a final.

Professor Matni's lectures are about as good as they get: thorough explanations and practical examples. The labs and homework assignments are simple, but I don't think the homework helped me understand the content as well as the lectures did. Exams were challenging, but within reason.

His lectures are amazing, such a charismatic guy. Felt like homework and labs did not prepare me that well for the final, studying lecture slides and lecture code did though. Overall felt like I digested the contest of CS32 really well because of how good his lectures are. He is sytnax heavy on his tests so be aware of that.

His exams were really reasonable- just make sure you go through all the lectures beforehand. The homework sometimes took a long time ~4-5 hours but they are good practice and it's easy to find help. His lectures were also good- overall a good professor to take 64 with.

CS64 . Matni Z A 7 Months Ago

Only gripe is you can tell if he thinks your question is stupid and that HW is graded harshly. Matni was really good at getting the content to go into our heads, and the HW helped in really cementing down that knowledge. Did not have to spend that much time on this class, but make sure to triple check your HWs

Matni is a great CS professor. My third class with him and he is still great. He gives great lectures with in depth examples. The class is really straightforward and really well organized. My only gripe is that the homework is really long and hard sometimes. The exams are usually much easier than the HW and he allows an entire cheat sheet.
