BSE 365
Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Professor Anex is a great professor. Yes, he makes his classes difficult but he is also extremely accessible outside of class to help and makes a big effort to make students learn. he is the best professor i have encountered at UW and the only reason why he has a low rating is because he actually challenges his students.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 5/5
I had anex for BSE 249 and though I will say that he was enthusiastic during his lectures, I would not recommend him to others. Test questions seem to want to trick you instead of testing your knowledge of the topics. Only a few people get A's in the class. Lecture environment is a little fearful, as he describes most of the topics to be simple.

Took 249. Bad teacher! Lectures are hard to follow and make little sense. Grading on exams is very tough. Self taught most of the material.

Rob's fine. That's it really. As he teaches it feels as if he is teaching himself at the same time. The number of mistakes he makes while explaining things makes it more confusing. 'No stupid questions' is not true for him. He encourages questions, but make sure yours isn't dumb. Make a group chat with class members, it's the only help you'll get.
