COMPSCI 564
Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
Lectures towards the back-half of the semester became super vague and unclear with very limited examples of difficult topics. This made the final exam very hard (class avg about 65%). On the other hand, the coding projects are easy and there are not many, so overall workload for this class is fairly light. Take LIS464 if you just want to learn SQL

This guy kind of reminds me of Marc Renault without as much of a hatred for students. Chill enough guy and the class was super interesting.

He's definitely better than his current rating suggests. You can tell he really cares about his students understanding the material. In his lectures, he's always asking questions(to the students) or encouraging students to ask their own. It's clear he knows the topic very well, which only helps the lecture more.

Paris lectures are very boring, but filled with information so if you pay attention you will do well in the class. He also records lectures which I really appreciated. Projects and exams make up the grade. Grading was quite generous and transparent. Final project B+ tree and final exam was a nightmare but everything else until then was easy
