Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Probably the rudest and the most unapproachable professor I ever had. Do not take any of his course or go to him for any help.

ISYE 604
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
He never released the guidelines for grading and told us that he would curve in the end, which he did not. He is extremely rude and not welcoming when you ask him for help or guidance and always replies with "I do not know, I can not guarantee". Upon asking for the grading guidelines he reduced our grades. Won't recommend taking any of his courses.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Fabulous professor! So so good at lecturing and actually teaching the subject matter, and you can really tell that he wants to be there and is actually interested in teaching, not just doing it out of obligation. Fantastic vibes too. He's great at giving help when needed, but doing so in a way that prompts you to do your own thinking.
