Reviews of professor Sergey Madaminov

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's an example of the desperation that Stony Brook is going through in the CS department. As a phd student he lacks the experience that makes a good teacher. His assignments where dry and poorly explained. Test consisted of the usual multiple choice that are intended to trick you. Sure he may be nice, but don't let that fool you.

A really nice person and really cares about students. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask him and he will definitely give you a lot of help.

Very caring professor, don't hesitate to ask him questions. Gives late days, but start early on the homework. You can find him after class, during office hour and by appointment. Although he can help you on many aspects of the class, you still have to do your own work, this includes reading the textbook!

The professor is one of the most caring and understanding person I've ever had as a teacher. He cares about the students doing well. He knows the course has a heavy workload, but puts in the effort to make sure that we all do well if we put enough effort into it. The exams are fair and homeworks are doable, but make sure to not procrastinate.

Very fair; exams were not very difficult nor easy and assignments were definitely humane and doable. On top of that, he gave out many extra-credit opportunities which would definitely reward those well who take the extra mile to complete them. Great guy! 10/10
