Reviews of professor Sundar Sinnappan

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Decent professor. Not the easiest one tho - his test are heavy on theory while homeworks are heavy on practice. Class is heavy on material. Just do self-study using his slides and you'll be ok. Open notes, but only written and on limited paper space. Textbook is not needed with his slides. He is happy to answer any questions you have and explain.

A *programming* class is taught through powerpoints. He doesn't give much guidance for assignments and exams. The exams are like the ungraded questions but they're still confusing. Most of the test is "what is the output" questions of a snippet of code written in a way that nobody would normally write code. Very sarcastic and doesnt like questions

If this is your first programming class do not take him. He 'lectures' by reading from a powerpoint that was given to him by pearson(or mcgrall hill). If you ask a question, usually he just re-reads the slide. He is a very sarcastic and demeaning person.

Lectures are all powerpoint, broing, not helpful. this guy is funny but bad attitude. not recommended, tests are multiple choice, pretty weird for a coding class

Tests heavy class. If you have programming background, you will do well for class. About 10 assignments entire semester for 20% grade. 5% grade come from the MSP project which is a bit difficult if you have not work on anything before. Test MCQ are not hard but confusing and tricky. The coding question from test can be easy to code. Slow lecture.

"Honestly anything you can find on youtube would be better than any example I can do in class" - said by professor sundar on the second day when someone asked if he would ever do an example in class... He did not teach me anything in class, if you need EGN 3211 and he's the only prof just wait another semester.

Cares to teach. Great PPT slides (w/ examples & notes). Great English speaking (to the point & doesn't mumble). Understands what some students go through, so he opened quizzes that were past deadline & late HW w/ no penalty. He took time out of his day in Spring Break & school nights to help me out on practice problems. Zoom recordings are helpful.

He's a cool person, but not a great teacher. If you already understand C and want an easy A this class is for you. If this is your first programming course I'd look elsewhere. The tests are based on ungraded questions he provides. Practice them beforehand and you'll pass. The final project is easy and only worth a small percentage so don't worry.

Homework too heavy, almost every week you have to complete homework which I think he doesn't even know what inside those homwork, just copy and assignt us to do .
