Reviews of professor David Houngninou

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Much harder than expected for an intro. Labs come with very poor instruction but perfection is expected to receive full credit. Expect this course to take an extra 10-15 hrs. Prof is very rude, impatient, and receives criticism poorly. Every reading/quiz/&EXAM is announced week of, leaving very little time for planning. Syllabus is very "loose".

Kebo is a great professor and a talented lecturer. He makes class engaging and entertaining while teaching the material in an understandable way. 313 is not an easy class, but he provides extra credit opportunities, and it is very clear what you need to get an A in the class. Almost half of your grade is 5 programming assignments, start early!

I really enjoyed the lectures. They felt relevant and he would often use lecture time to explain the PAs and LEs. Assignments are difficult but TAs and prof help. He also would explain and answer questions about the exams which were take home and to be finished by midnight. Overall a lot of work, but he gives you everything you need to do well.

Great lecturer that made me learn lots of applicable concepts towards computer science/engineering (Linux, Basics of OS, Multithreading, Sockets/Packets, Cryptography). 2 open note all-day exams and quizzes every other week, and for LEs and PAs start early! Labs are office hours, and you'll gain an intuitive understanding of content over time.
