Reviews of professor Ajoy Kumar

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
His assignments are helpful because you get to learn a lot. Read his powerpoints before quizzes or exams. All his lectures are posted on canvas so take advantage of that. His assignments and grading are unclear. Make sure you ask him if you have doubts about something. Class is boring and mandatory attendance. Anyways, best of luck and work hard!

He's the only one for this course so have fun and good luck. If you don't do it "his" way u fail. He explains very poorly.

Dr. Kumar is super smart and shows his students how the concept learned in the lecture applies to their future careers. There are weekly assignments where you MUST follow the rubrics. There is a midterm and final where you need to manage to answer the questions within a time frame. He is always available during office hours if you need help!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! the worst prof to teach coding, impossible to understand anything from his lectures. EXPECT TO FAIL, even if you don't do a single part of the assignment his way. you will learn nothing from his class. very tough grader. If you make a single mistake on assignment, he gives you a chance to resubmit and never bothers looking at it

Professor Kumar is very unforgiving. If you submit the assignment using the wrong file, he will not go back and look at it even if the homework is correct. You will get no credit for it at all. He explains information how he understands it, and goes fast through problems.

Dr Kumar is an excellent professor, though he may not be for everyone. I've heard people complain. However to me, he was an amazing professor. Communicated well outside of the classroom during office hours and explains what is required for assignments. He explained well during class and gave examples. If you dont understand something GO OFFICE HRS

Professor is smart but his teaching style is not the best when trying to learn.. and his HW assignments are too complicated and such a heavy grader for no reason.

Dr. Kumar isn't specific about his grading criteria for his assignments & the instructions are unclear. So, if you are confused, ask him. He takes points of randomly. Better safe than sorry. His lectures are boring and his class attendance is mandatory. He drops one quiz and one assignment. The class was worthwhile because I learned python.

He does well explain in the beginning of the semester but half way he goes too fast and doesn't really give you a rubric asking for the criteria of the assignments/projects causing lots of confusion and random points taken.
