Reviews of professor Roman Kitsela

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
His homework was too much to handle for an online class. I get that our grade is determined by solely the homework. But assigning 40+ problems on person along with another 40+ problems in the textbook (and they are due on the same day) was just absolutely unbearable. I ended up spending day and night trying to finish his homework. AVOID him!!

This is the hardest class I have EVER taken. The Professor is really nice and you can tell he is trying really hard; it takes effort to give such a long exam(12 hour) and go through 11 chapters in 5 weeks while others only go through 8. Lots of hw. Exam graded harshly (nitpicky), esp since its proofs. 20E he taught is so easy compared to this.

Get ready to be overwhelmed by his INSANE amount of homework. Also, he never replies emails.

Wrong solutions for one of the midterm practices.

During the Covid-19 quarter, the written and online homework was very tedious and long. However, this made sense since it made up roughly 60% of our grade. The midterm and finals were only worth a total of 30% and the matlab quiz and matlab hw was worth 10%.The class will take a lot of hard work and time but it will be rewarded with a high grade.

I think he is awful at teaching. Prof Kitsela is extremely disorganized especially in the remote environment. Most uploaded assignments places are created the day of or right before, at the last second. During lecture he loses so much time copying and pasting something instead of rewriting it. This results in a very messy lecture. Take someone else

Since it's an online class, he gave out a huge amount of homework and the written homework was the worst. He was saying that the midterm and the final is supposed to take 3 hours to finish, but it took me forever to finish ugh
