Reviews of professor Paea LePendu

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Nope. Nope. Nope. Content doesn't justify the course title. Grading criteria is not clear, doesn't make any sense. Skip. Skip. Skip.

Took CS 150 over the summer. This class is definitely about engagement and participation during lectures. He's a great lecturer and is happy to go over a topic again until it clicks for everyone. He's a caring guy and is also very open to feedback! He shows old exams and hw to help prepare students. No surprises in this class! Definitely recommend.

I have no clue why the others are complaining. Mans let us makeup 40% of missed points from the first midterm cuz he felt bad about making it so long and the second midterm was a substantial drop in difficulty compared to the first one, letting us choose which problemsto do.The dudes complaining probably put minimum in effort and expected to pass.

Prof. LePendu is the kindest Professor I've met in UCR. CS205 covers the basic knowledge of AI including logics, A star algorithm and a bit of machine learning and other stuff. His lectures are great because he cares about you. If you go to his office hour, you will definitely get an A in this course.

LePendu is great because he takes the class's stress levels into account when making assignments/midterms. Midterms are easy and very similar to the homework. As long as you attend lecture and pay attention, you'll likely get an A.

Dont trust any reviews from ENGR001 because that is not a real class. LePendu thinks he's the best professor ever but he's the worst you'll take. Gives extremely long, overcomplicated explanations for everything but then skips over what he assumes to be "obvious". It's week 8 and he still hasn't graded our first midterm (26 questions in 80 min btw)

LePendu demonstrates clear understanding & depth of knowledge of the content that he teaches, however he lacks qualities of what makes a good educator. He acts in a childish, dramatic, manner, often goes on long rants, and puts his needs in front of his students. Additionally he goes out of his way to make his educational materials less accessible.

He has an attitude problem. He often addresses student matters and concerns in a condescending manner. He made a 25+ free response question test that had to be completed in under 80 minutes and admitted that it was too hard but claimed it was due to how the disability resource center's testing policies.
