EL-SOUSSI M H
An okay class and okay professor. It was pretty easy work overall, but beware some assignments were clearly made with ChatGPT and, as a result, some questions we had to answer were not very relevant to individuals, especially those without jobs/income. I also had to learn a lot of things through my own research because it wasn't very thorough.
He doesn't care about teaching; No office hours. It's the quarantine, he just posts 20 minutes total of pre-recorded lectures of him clicking poor-quality ppt. Labs & lectures are basically a total tangent or lectures are always behind & unrelated to lab. The 2 Hrs lecture per week never happened. You can only learn so much reading on ur own.
The labs took a long time to complete and the midterm/final written exam were a train wreck. We were too busy doing our labs in order to learn all of the theoretical stuff we were taught in lecture. This class should be split into two. Not really El-Soussi's fault, he's a good guy and does try his best. I don't think he actually failed anyone.
Very clear and helpful teacher. He took an engineering outlook on teaching us the material, but still provided proofs when asked. Very fair and helpful. He was present for office hours before every class. The class is easy, but extremely time consuming (lab requirement eats 15+ hours a week).
Great guy, so nice! Will get a good grade if you try!
Excellent prof.!!! Super nice and helpful, he put everything online even extra practice problems! So approachable, and his T.A.s are very helpful as well. At the end of the quarter the whole class was cheering because we convinced him to teach 6c.
