Reviews of professor Ilia Benson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Terrible professor for 310 avoid him at all costs. He made false promises when it came to the grading and curve, which was barely any help. The class average was 59% nobody passed the final with a C or higher. Makes constant mistakes when lecturing and expects you to be practicing a lot outside of class. Does not response to slack or emails.

One of the worst, if not the worst Professor at CSUN, holds his students to levels above what they're capable of. CSUN should also revoke his teaching license, because if he's gonna just ditch the students and make them learn on their own, then he should definitely not be allowed to determine anything in the class, nor grade us.

The Professor doesn't care about his students at all. There's no point in studying for his midterm as all the questions are subjective. He always Googles while teaching and is never prepared for class. He is always debugging and wasting class time in the process

Makes mistakes constantly yet assigns hard problems with little help. 2 exams 80% of grade, no extra credit. Curve was nigh nonexistent despite 95% of both class sessions bombing both exams. Got top 1% exam scores 2x yet ended up with a B. Gave out a total of 1 A between 80 students. Grades slowly and inaccessible on slack/email. No office hours.

His lectures are packed with content that are crucial for the midterm and final, make sure to study. Quite slow in grading our labs, therefore the due dates for them were fairly lenient. Can and will answer any question you have, and is also very funny and friendly.

Very lecture intensive since the 2 exams are based on labs + lecture(mainly). His lectures can be an overly simplified summary of a topic which is preferred for his exam answers. STUDY OFTEN, pop quizzes  extra credit, they help a lot. Hard exam grader, no homework except for 7 labs. They weren't hard, just busy work and research.

This class is an absolute joke. You will learn nothing from this guy's lectures and you can't even teach yourself after class because 584 is one of those classes you need to practice to get good at. No good way to study for exams, and does not care about helping students succeed. I hope he never teaches 584 again.
