Reviews of professor Dung Mai

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Paul is very knowledgeable and can answer any question. He cares that his students are learning. Very reasonable. Assignments can be unclear sometimes and vary in difficulty, but Paul is reachable for clarity. Assignments, including exams, sometimes have mistakes and it can cause stress. Overall though, I would take his class again.

The '2' comes with a BIG asterisk, because it's his first time teaching CS142. In fact, he had to use another professor's entire Canvas course. This meant that he struggled to teach with lectures he didn't make and didn't cover everything. Thus the final had tons of questions on things that were never covered. Wait awhile to take his 142 course.

This is actually for reviewing CS142:  I took CS 141 with Paul in the fall, and I am taking 142 with him now as well. Paul is a great teacher who is ready to help when students ask questions. He explains concepts very well and I like how we learn through actual coding rather than memorizing textbook terms. I look forward to doing CS143 with Paul

Lectures are unnecessarily long and repetitive. Lecture notes are an absolute mess, and often are incomplete. Exams cover material that was never covered in class.
