Reviews of professor Robin Hillyard

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took Algorithms class under Prof Hillyard. He is a very organized teacher with clear syllabus and grading criteria. He really wants us to understand the concepts. The quizzes, assignments and final project all made me learn algorithms in the right way.

Robin is a very nice man and an excellent professor. Actually the other review was mean and I don't think that was fair. About style of teaching, some people like it some people don't, those words were too harsh. Also, about the Princeton slide, professor has his own works on it. I also took his scala course from Northeastern, He's nice and patient

This class is designed to take an engineering approach to algorithm rather than a scientific one. The class has regular assignments and weekly quizzes. The professor focuses on solving algorithm problems for real-world applications & writing production grade Java Generic code. This course is not designed for algo proof analysis.

Amazing Professor! One of the few Professors at Northeastern (COE) whose courses feels like a Master's level course. Very structured, amazing assignments and projects to work on. Definitely would recommend this course to anyone in COE at Northeastern.
