Reviews of professor Eric Chan-Tin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Eric is a super chill dude that is always ready to help at any time. He is very passionate about computer programming and is able to fix any problem you have. One programming assignment and one homework (lab) assignment due a week. Two exams and a Final Exam. Might seem like a lot of work, but most of it will be completed in groups. Overall GREAT!

Lots of extra credit on almost every assignment. Weekly labs, but they're fast and easy and he puts them out weeks in advance so it's easy to get ahead. Midterm and Final exam were way harder than the labs, but still pretty manageable. He curved it as well. 3 projects that are pretty easy if you start early, but hard if you leave it to the last min

Eric's Cybersecurity classes are the only Cybersecurity classes at Loyola that are actually interesting. He shows lots of real-world examples and gives plenty of hands-on opportunities to apply what you learn. He's also pretty nice but can come off a little blunt if you email him.

Dr. Chan-Tin is knowledgeable and has an extensive background in cyber security research. He gives interesting projects that are both interesting and engaging, but time-intensive. He is lenient on homework. His lectures are lackluster, but he tries to engage students. Attendance and participation are mandatory as you are graded on both.
