He keeps lectures interesting and always breaks concepts down to be as easily understood as possible. Also, very responsive to concerns about quiz questions. Top tier professor.

I enjoyed being in Gurmail class a lot. This class isnt very hard but if you do struggle, I feel like he is accessible. Just stay on top of lectures and study a bit before exams and you will be fine!

Gurmail spends considerable time explaining concepts and a decent amount of time outside class to help students. His assignments are easy to understand if you follow the course material, and he is very fair with his grading. I'd recommend that anyone take his class to better grasp Python.
