Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
His course is too focused on theory, should be a math major class instead of a ECE or CS class. Works are unnecessarily complicated. Feels like the professor is showing off his skills in math and computer science, instead of trying to teach, in which may explain his poor handwriting and arrogance.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
This class used to be more implementation-oriented, but for some reason, he changed the curriculum to focus solely on the theoretical side by taking four exams rather than a team project. The official reason given was unsatisfactory projects. He doesn't provide notes or record lectures and the class would be great for math majors not CS majors.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
He lectures too much for a flipped class and frequently makes mistakes in his work, yet is kind of arrogant about his teaching ability. Some exams are needlessly hard and they tend to focus on the underlying math, not the actual useful content covered in the homework. It's a tough course taught poorly.
