Reviews of professor David Lamari

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Not a bird, but if you do the weekly readings and lectures you should be fine. Exams are tough but he gave everyone on the final like an extra 18%. :p

I could not deal with Lamari's style of PowerPoint presentation. It was horrendous. Be professional about making your lectures, and actually have them done before the class or posting them.

David Lamari is one of the best teachers I've ever had. I highly recommend taking this course. Content is difficult at times, and it is essential to go to his lectures to do well, but considering how awesome his lectures are, it shouldn't be an issue attending. Overall, NOT a bird course, but easy to do well in if you attend the class.

Horrible prof, his lectures are audio recordings talking about the slides. A lot of reading and his exams are structured horribly. DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE.

Lamari is the best and my favourite professor at Western. 2300 is by no means a bird, but if dedicate 2 hours a week to watching the videos and doing the readings, there is no reason to achieve below a 90. If you believe that you can keep up with the workload, TAKE THIS COURSE.  Lamari is the GOAT and an amazing professor

Mr. Lamari does not possess the knowledge needed to teach any course. Often, the information he provides is incorrect, he makes inaccurate and mildly inappropriate comparisons. It makes him seem unprofessional, and it is hard for students to receive good and accurate information when he is not preparing himself accordingly.

Professor Lamari is clearly very enthusiastic about what he teaches. He made the course very enjoyable. However, the lectures can be quite long and you have to listen to them all the way through as it is just an audio recording and then a slideshow to go along with it so you need to pay attention and take notes. He also tests on the readings too.

He teaches the 7-10 night class for CS1000. Lengthy late-night classes are hell to sit through, and Lamari is literally your best bet for a course like this. Really funny guy, def one of the professors I was looking forward to seeing every week. A prior interest in the course will make it way more bearable btw. Also, DO THE READINGS!!

Good teacher and interesting material but he does not give you enough time for assessments. You can know all the answers but still get them wrong on quizzes/exams because you don't have enough time to think. I get that the course in online but jeez...
