CS170 . Yang T 5 Months Ago

Workload seems easier than most offerings of 170-- especially compared to Wolski. The labs are actually very doable. Large part of your grade is exams instead of coding, and the midterm was doable but you should definitely study. Slides are good and textbook is also really helpful and aligns with the course content.

Very chill and nice professor. Slides are very organized, and projects aren't too hard.

Nice guy, his accent is a little hard to understand sometimes though. His assignments are generally not that bad and the material he covers is pretty interesting. Not the best lecturer but he's very reasonable and responsive.

Aside from heavy accents and projects that are a little hard, everything seems fine for me. The material covered was interesting and the professor is a nice person

Useless, incoherent lectures. Obviously does not have any passion for teaching students. You will have to self-study all the material. Tests and homework are relatively easy, but programming assignments are long and frustrating. Felt like a waste of a quarter; disappointing, because the material should be interesting.

Poor lecturer. I believe he won't pass the Teaching Evaluation for students. His language and homework description are terribly unorganized.

He's a nice guy but may not be a good lecturer to articulate himself. And the homework requirements are in a mess.

Very easy class if you try. Projects are long, but that's expected in this class. There is no other homework. He is super helpful and even gave out source code for the projects to help you debug. Midterm was extremely easy. You get 6 pages of notes, and some code. Project guidelines are bad, but tons of help in his slides and from prev class.

Poor class. His accent is very difficult to understand, lectures are long, dry, hard to follow, unorganized. Projects are poorly prepared, overly difficult, and there is little help. You're basically on your own to figure it out. If the class was better organized, it would be ok

Lectures are quite boring. Hard to stay engaged. Programming assignments seem pointless. He gives you sample code, removes some lines, then expects you to put the code back. I do not like his way of teaching. I've heard other professors for CS170 are far superior.
