This was the hardest class I have ever taken in my life. I ended up dropping it week 8 because i was going to fail it. i constantly got low scores on the homeworks even if the code functioned almost perfectly. my friend who has been a cs major for years couldn't figure out the weekly homeworks. For an intro class, this course was so beyond unreasonable. I think the professor enjoys feeling powerful and authoritarian while assigning homeworks that are nearly impossible. He's super condescending and expects you to understand things perfectly after explaining it once. Lectures are boring and monotone. He doesn't give enough examples that actually explain the concepts. Instead, he reads off of plain slides. TAKE THIS CLASS WITH LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE. I didn't learn a single thing besides how to cry myself to sleep without my roommate hearing.

He is the kind of professor that you would deeply remember even you graduated, a kind of professor that would appear in your nightmare even you have left college for years. His lectures are super dry but loaded, trying to cram an intense load of concepts in your brain. He doesn't really care about the correctness and functionality of the program compared to rather meaningless syntax requirements. He will heavily punish you if you violated his requirements. Programming is torture in his class. RUN!
