Reviews of professor Michael Borbacs

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Overall, Prof Borbacs was good. This class met once a week, and he did a good job of giving us an overview of the chapter(s) for that week. It will be up to you to do the reading and/or exercises to make sure you know how to do everything. The homework is not too bad, especially if you utilize the TAs when you are having trouble.

Weekly homework assignments consist of excel problem sets with a specific set of instructions. Overall, it is easy to do well if you follow the homework instructions carefully and do the class exercises during the lectures.

Pretty sure the only option for this class. Didn't pay attention at all and he went really fast, but it's literally the easiest class. As long as you do the homework and do the practice tests for the midterm and final, you will get an A.

Borbacs is a nice guy. Lectures are dry, but it's partially due to the content of the subject. PAY ATTENTION and TAKE NOTES during lecture because if you don't you will fail your exams - where a majority of your grade comes from. He has weekly HOE assignments (Hands on exercises) but he never checks any of them. I often submitted blanc docs back.

easy enough, fair amount of HW

Good class to take for OPAN requirement. Lectures can get boring, and attendance at lectures dropped as the class went on. Homework can be difficult at times, but the simulations help a lot and homework is graded on completion. Final is a group project and multiple choice quiz; with a good group for the final, an A in his class is manageable.

He's pretty chill (probably one of the most chill for OPAN1101) but don't expect an engaging class. It's a dry class and all the work is a miserably boring drudge. The final is a group project that takes a good 10 hours.

OPIM 170 is no easy class, but I think Professor Borbacs is a solid choice. He is super understanding and he'll go over a concept multiple times if needed. He knows the subject very well and he is always open to extra help. This class has a lot of homework and some group work. It's a lot of content in little time but I think Professor B was great.

Super easy class. He goes over everything that's necessary. Just go over the chapters and you'll be straight for the exams.
