Reviews of professor Akalanka Mailewa

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The best Cybersecurity professor at SCSU. Lectures only cover real-world material that taught us a lot about the field. Goes through labs so there is no confusion, and does not mind if labs are a little late. CNA 430 and 435 should be taken together for a easy schedule. Refuses to let students fail, but should still try and learn the material.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
10 Homework, 5 Labs, 3 Online Quiz, 1 Exams, and 1 group  research project. 

Prof. Mailewa's dedication to providing students with clear and comprehensive feedback is a testament to their expertise in the subject matter and their strong teaching skills. 

Don't worry that you won't pass. Generous grading!!!

Prof Mailewa is a fantastic professor who knows IA 612 very well. He provides guides for his labs and projects and recorded lectures of his notes. You only follow his prerecorded lectures step by step on his labs and projects, and you won't have any problems. He provides outside materials so that you can understand the concept of the course well.

This course was completely online, if you can, do NOT take a course with him if it's this way. All lectures were prerecorded and low quality. He is competent in his field, but it was difficult to learn from recorded lectures. His tests were riddled with errors but he'll give you credit back if you support your claim with textual evidence. He's okay

Very helpful & reachable. Has labs and quizzes, but not very hard if you pay attention and refer to his lecture videos on D2L and the resources that he provides. Inspires students to go for an extra mile to think different. Will encourage and help you to write research papers. (will try to find grants and publish them as well)
