CSC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: N/A Required (Support) 5:01 pm, May 7, 2013 Report Evaluation |
To be fair i have never had a programming class before this one but i know that there are better ways of teaching c. this professor does not teach you a thing. You will be spending time learning outside of class all the time. He will come 10 to 15 minutes late to class with an unprepared lecture of just scribbling on the board. no organization. He has a very condescending tone when you ask him a question and looks at you like youre an idiot. | |

CSC 453 Senior Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 1:05 pm, Apr 24, 2013 Report Evaluation |
This professor sucked. He explained everything in a very topical, high level way, and never went into detail. The only concepts he ever provided examples for were the concepts that were already rather easy to understand. His program specs were incredibly confusing and not very helpful, and he never elaborated on them in class; he just expected you to figure them out. He also makes the programs a bigger part of your grade than any other professor. His quiz questions were often things he did not discuss in class, and were incredibly obscure questions from the book that were easily overlooked. Don't take 453 with him. Nico, Seng, and Bellardo are all better at teaching it. | |

Professor Khosmood was good at talking about the topics but not as good at explaining them. It seemed as if everything was talked about at a high level and didn't go in depth into the implementation. Also, the program specs are really long but contain very little useful information. Overall, he's a nice guy and probably just getting used to the teaching position. | |

CPE 453 Junior Grade Earned: C Required (Major) 10:08 pm, Mar 25, 2012 Report Evaluation |
Foaad is an interesting teacher. When I had him, this was his first time teaching operating systems. The class itself is very similar to 315 and 225. Both, by the way, I did not like one bit. The whole point of the class is to let you know what goes on in your computer and not to make everyone a OS designer. There were 4 projects a midterm and a final. For the midterm, you could have an 8'x5.5' piece of paper of one sided notes. And then the final was an 8x11 one side notes. Luckily, I wrote down definitions to what we learned and got a question completely right since it was asking for all the definitions. This got me a C in the class. Overall, Foaad does his best to try and make the class as interesting as possible since the material itself is rather boring and sometimes very difficult to wrapped one's mind around. If you have a choice between Foaad and Bellardo I would go with Foaad only for the fact that he is easier, but Bellardo will make you learn. -IF66 | |

CSC 357 Senior Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 10:40 am, Mar 7, 2012 Report Evaluation |
Very good professor. There is a lot of work but it's one of the hardest programming courses at cal poly. He's actually great in office hours despite saying you don't have to go to lab or go to office hours. It really is for your benefit and really if you go to office hours you should be fine. He's really good at helping debug and if he went through it with you its easier to get a grade correction/alteration on a specific program. | |

CPE 357 Junior Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 12:54 pm, Feb 3, 2012 Report Evaluation |
Foaad was awesome. This is his first time teaching at Poly having just graduated from grad school but he did a good job. He definitely knew what he was talking about and while he didn't present the material super clearly at times, he was willing to help people with their programs and adjust the class as necessary. This class is a lot of work no matter who you take it with. The midterm wasn't too bad, but the final was hard. Expect to spend at least 10 hours on the programming assignments. | |
