Reviews of professor Shrideep Pallickara

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Took in summer. Best online course I had at CSU. A Breakdown:

Pros: Informative lectures. Decent walk-through videos for coding/non-coding hws. Exams are fairly easy.

Cons: TAs run the class. Online format making it impossible to interact with prof personally. Sometimes lectures aint clear enough, where I had to use Chatgpt to understand fully.

By far my favorite professor at CSU the best lecturer I have ever had. Additionally he knows what it is like to be a student, he doesn't believe in hard comprehensive exams, that doesn't mean you don't have them, but they were relatively easy multiple choice with open notes. However the capstone project for this course was a bit much for a 300

Professor Pallickara gives amazing lectures. Although pre-recorded, his lectures were a joy to watch and broke down very dense materials. He is very organized and clear with his expectation. He's also willing to clarify questions and assist you despite such a large class size. Do your work and don't forget the term project.

I took the online course, his lectures are a little long (watch at 1.5 or double speed) but never boring, he is clearly overqualified for this job. The homework starts out difficult but gets easier for some reason, the TA's were a huge help. Recitation was super easy as well. Also he is pretty funny, I mean his name is Shrideep lol

I LOVE professor Pallickara. Some CS professors can be very cold, but he is a very caring man. His lectures are throughout, and he makes sure students actually understand. If you have any questions, he will answer them and give you endless examples until you understand the content. My favorite CS professor by far! Take a class with him!!

Shrideep is carrying the CSU CS department on his back. CS250 was by far best CS class I have taken at CSU, by far, and he made seemingly mundane topics incredible engaging. His expectations are high which makes all these lazy CS majors actually show up and do well! The class made me want to continue being a CS major.

Very passionate and interesting, he is committed to making the course organized and nothing he doesn't say you have to know. Very fun projects with lots of time and support to get you through. Small amounts of grades though, so projects have a lot of weight.

Prof. is energetic, caring, and passionate about course. Made an difficult class much easier to understand. Encourages students/gets excited for students when they ask questions/provide good answers. He keeps lectures engaging, regularly makes the class laugh. Great examples. Only downside is no recorded lectures, but slides are available online.
