COMPSCI 407
Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
The course use autograders for lab projects without giving any documentation. You have to guess how they implement features though it is impossible to do so in android development. The exams also contain physics content.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 2/5
Suman is a nice professor that does seem to be very passionate about the topics of networking, but has difficulty communicating these ideas to the class in a succinct and clear way. At least 4 weeks of instruction were lost due to quizzes and reviews, which severely hampered the amount of content we learned. The book is more useful than lecture.

COMPSCI 640
Quality 1/5Difficulty 2/5
Confusing and several times factually incorrect information provided during lectures and demanded during quizes. The only thing he required is to repeat exactly what he said/presented, no matter if it makes sense. Wasn't able to cover much from the syllabus due to inability to explain concepts concisely.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
Very disappointed with this course. Slides are unclear with errors, and quizzes have mistakes. TAs rarely answer academic questions, and grading is unclear. For effective learning, consider other professors like Paul Barford.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Awful slides with numerous errors. It seemed that there was insufficient attention given to teaching and quiz creation, although the professor was somehow responsive.
