Reviews of professor Jonathan Misurda

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This teacher is not transparent to his students. Does not use piazza, barely uses D2L. Extremely lazy when posting information about hw and exams. Does not post announcements at all. Joke of a professor at an academic institution.

Not understanding the negativity in other reviews. Dude's really enthusiastic about his field and knows what he's teaching backwards and forwards. Classes are very lecture-heavy, but I found that alright because he's a very good speaker. Take good notes and get a good mental model of the material, because it's hard to fake it on his tests/projects

I really dont understand all the negative reviews for Dr. Misurda. His lectures are amazing and he is passionate about the subject material. If you dont wanna learn, dont take his course. If you do wanna learn, hes the professor for you. He goes very deep into the material. Outside of class his email response time is the quickest I've ever seen.

Misurda is really boring. It's fine because he is very knowledgable and passionate about what he's lecturing on, but the guy can literally talk for 75 minutes straight without taking a breath. This is the first class in the Computer Science sequence with group projects and it is very beneficial. Group work and agile development are real world.

Bruh, dark souls but no bonfires. Doesn't try to change the direction of the class to help the students but rather just to get on and get paid. Try to avoid at all cost.

i found it very difficult to learn from dr. misurda. the classroom was kind of hostile and I found it hard to relate or interact with him. his teaching style is also extremely difficult to learn from and very different from other instructors. i would advise students to avoid if possible - even taking the course at another branch

Garbage! Should be thrown out of teaching entirely. No piazza, no slides, nothing but his snide, long-winded lectures and demeaning jokes about any student that asks a question. I'm disgusted that I had to pay to take this guys class. He thinks he's god gift to man, constantly preening himself, but he never actually provides any value to my degree

Dr. Misurda gets a lot of hate, some of which I think is justifiable, but Dr. Misurda is definitely one of the best systems professors in CS. His 352 class is difficult, but you'll be thankful when you take OS (452). Once you've taken one of his exams, you know what to expect. Working hard in his classes will prepare you more than the alternatives.
