Ahmed Abd El
Al,
Networking classes - very knowledgable, very bright
guy.
Accent
difficult to understand, but once you get over it, very
good
teacher. Tests pretty easy, HW a bit difficult if
you want to
do it
right, but bearable.
Arabic
background not a problem.
Ajaz Sana
- terrible, pre-req is Hindu 101.
Easy ?A? though.
Dipak Basu,
Operating Systems - I have never met a man more full of
himself. Will work you VERY hard - believes BC should be taught no
different than
Harvard,
except BC students
should work harder. Will
make fun of you in class if
ask bad questions.
Clark - computer architecture - very nice guy,gives good lectures. BUT,
assumes you know too much coming into the course,
tests and projects
are 90% not based
on
lectures but on a difficult book. Usually does not
give tests, only projects and a takehome final, which is a
BAD thing -
the final is ridiculously hard, most
of the class will cheat on it so
your score will be lower in comparison if you don't.
Cogan
- very good (frum woman, great teacher, lot of work)
Cox
-
good, workload ok, interesting guy
Cook - very good (teaches well, grades well)
Dexter -
decent
Essaffi
- good
Etinger
- very good
Fenwick
- doesn't always explain very well, but giveees easy tests
Fleischer - very good (very funny)
Francis -
good
Friedman
- very good teacher, but a bit hard (frum guuuy)
Friedman,
Shlomo, Hardware type
classes - not a very good teacher, but
gives you
old test very similar to
one he'll test you on. Get a
little
'mesorah' going from previous
semester tests and you should have every question he'll
ask
on your test (different numbers, same style questions). Very nice guy,
being
frum helps your grade.
Gathos - (CIS 714) awful
Gueye - easy
Rave Harpaz, programming classes - Fairly good teacher but not great.
Very easy tests.
Israeli, not frum. Very entertaining guy, good sense
of humor. Doesn't usually
have much time to give
personal
help/attention, which can be
difficult with programming classes. Still
recommended for an easy
and somewhat informative class.
Harrow - good - multiple courses, esp. database systems(by reputation)
- fair person, fair tests, good teacher, makkkes you do a lot of work.
Heinsch - good
Husarsky - very good, supposedly less homework than some teachers
Jervis - will strike you down
Kahanda - good, but a bit difficult to understand (rated terrible on www.ratemyprofessor.com); easy tests
Danny Kopec - IT management courses and AI - super nice guy,
knowledgable about his own
interests, and quite possibly the worst
teacher I've ever had in my
college career. Lectures are unorganized, scatterbrained, and have little to do with tests, which are usually unfair. Gets
intimidated by harder material and frankly has no idea how
to teach it - says "Look this up in the book" when he doesn't know what
he's talking about, then tests you on the stuff anyway. Makes you
do a
LOT of work for his own profit, hoping to get his name published
with
your work.
Langsem - very hard, but fair grader
Leiser - Everyone tells me something different! From v. bad to good.
Efraim Levine, C programming - very smart, knowledgable, good teacher.
Tests are extremely thorough,
but not necessarily hard. Lots of HW (but
normal for
programming classes).
Listhaus - decent (lot of work, but easy)
Lowenthal - good (frum, real easy, but you won't learn a lot)
Stephen Lucci, AI - wonderful teacher. Very clear,very knowledgable,
very good guy. In charge
of AI section of graduate comprehensive exam,
gives a review each
semester that should not be missed under any
circumstances.
Big drawback is he will keep class VERY late on a regular basis
(we're talking half hour and more sometimes) and tests
can LITERALLY go hours overtime. Fair grader.
Mollah - Good for grades, bad for learning. Assigns group projects.
Eric Pacuit, Computer Graphics - might have changed since then, but was
a clueless
PhD student. Very easy
A, very little work. You won't learn
a blessed
thing in his class - doesn't show up often, ends classes
early, spends
class time on stupidities
that you don't have to know.
Rankanthawar? - bad
Ezra Rhein, IT management courses - helps a lot to be frum and speak
English. Very
knowledgable, business experienced, nice guy. Loves
classroom discussion and dialogue, to a
fault - he is over-talkative, will sometimes keep classes
late to finish his lectures. Fair tests, on the
easy side. Lots of projects, but that is the nature of the classes
he teaches,
not his fault.
Relatively easy A.
Scarlatos - she's OK.
Sverdlov - bad (v. bad teacher, but good grades)
Thurm - 5- you'll either hate him or love him, but
good overall, 4 SHC - Joe Thurm, Database
Systems, Intro to
Computers,
Advanced applications, others - The
most interesting professor
Brooklyn
College has to offer. Excellent teacher, excellent
background in
practical applications, makes courses very interesting and applicable
to real world jobs. Tests range
depending on the course from easy
to
hard (DB usually hard, others easy -
midterm/final 100 T/F). However,
very fair - if you make a good case
he'll
give you credit. Standup
comedian, has class in stitches. His class
could very well be
one of the best classes you take at BC.
Waraporn
- bad/decent (hard to understand)
Yanofsky -
good (teaches very well, apparently)
Zachos
- aweful, stay away
Zamir
- Never heard of him, for those who are askiiing
