He is really nice. He's very helpful and his assignments are quite easy. The exams cover from what we learn from the lectures. The exams contain multiple-choice and a few free-response questions. You will have plenty of time to complete the exams since it's a 3-hour class.

He does pick on random students to answer his questions, but you'll be fine even if you get the answer wrong. He will help you out or move on to the next person. Class attendance is required since it's part of your participation grade. Very long lectures and exams. Exams contains multiple choice and free responses. A few questions can be tricky.

He's a nice professor. He will take his time to re-explain his lectures if students are lost or confused. His lectures are really long since it's a 3-hour class, but beware, he randomly picks on students to answer his questions in class, so make sure you do not miss class because that counts towards your participation grade. Exams are little hard.

He's a relatively new professor, but he really knows his stuff. Very nice and caring, he wants each student in the class to understand. Can explain things in a confusing way or quickly, but as long as you ask questions he will stop the class to make sure you understand. He wants everyone to do well. Good professor, but be prepared to participate.

Shounak is a good choice if you are okay with participating in a class for a 3-hour class. Explains well enough and will repeat over and over if you don't understand. Midterm and final are very straightforward. 20 multiple-choice, 4 short answers, 3 coding questions. Pay attention and read his PowerPoint for the exams.
