Reviews of professor Ajoy Kumar

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
No clear grading criteria, no chance for extension, no resubmitting assignment. Assignments, exams VERY TOUGH. Starts off okay but progresses too fast and impossible to process what he teaches. Hates it when you do not do the assignments his way, even if it may be right. I'D SAY AVOID (but he is the only one to teach these classes so you are stuck)

Due to covid, we had to take this class online. He offers participation questions for easy points. However, his assignments are difficult to understand and don't really explain through his lectures and only give python code examples. he does give feedback on assignments but you don't have a chance to re-do them.

Lots of assignments, read them over more than once because they can be very hard to understand

The class is difficult, but not impossible if you try. Dr. Kumar encourages you to ask questions and will always help during office hours. He can be passive aggressive at times, but don't let it get to you just focus on getting the grade. Attention to detail in the assignments is important. Be sure to pay attention and study, it will not be easy.

It was okay in the beginning but his assignments got more difficult and hard to understand. So did his mini projects and I had to do outside research for those And he goes a little to fast and mostly uses examples from the book and not his own

None of his assignments in this class had a clear objective. It's almost like they were up for interpretation, but if you didn't guess what he wanted correctly, then you would fail the assignment. He is not easy to get a hold of, and his lectures are so boring that it could put a rock to sleep. Would not recommend.

You can tell that he knows a lot about Python, but he does not communicate that knowledge or teach it very well. He is not for everyone really. Some people like his teaching style, some people don't. Boring, longg lectures, which makes sense since it's a 4 credit class. Personally would never take this professor again.

This professor was knowledgeable, however, you were expected to forget any previous coding knowledge you had and only do things his way. He took off points unnecessarily, and too many points for small mistakes. He is not willing to help you succeed. Don't take the class!! Meeting his expectations is not possible.

Don't take! Instructions unclear, if you don't do it his way u get nothing. Any tiny mistake results in so many points being taken off.
