Reviews of professor Syed Tanbeer

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Evaluations are way too intense. He thinks because he can do things in a given time students can. We cant because were still learning. Exams & labs are far too long & difficult. Had to code from scratch closed book which is near impossible. He literally expects us to be on his level which isnt fair on students. Avoid this prof if you can.

His lectures are extremely hands-on, maybe too much. When it came to exams it was hard to find study material because he doesn't use slides so I had to rewatch the lectures and google concepts to make notes on them. His exam practical is way too intense, they're like full-on assignments but you have 1.5 hours to complete them.

Great prof, grades fairly, helps the students and is understanding and caring. Make sure to attend the lectures and you'll be fine with all of the other assessments.

Great prof. Marks assignments quickly making it much easier to keep track of how you're doing & identify areas for improvement which is very appreciated. Lectures are always fresh and interesting, and he's a very nice and intelligent guy. Would def recommend!

Good prof. overall. In general, his feedbacks and instructions in the course was very vague, however, while he is teaching he always makes sure students understand the concepts(even though sometimes it might get confusing the way he explains things). Exams are very theory based. if you want to excel in his course, you got to work for it, U EARN IT!

Didn't transition to online learning well at all. Excepts assignments to be a carbon copy of his lecture examples, try anything else creative and you'll pay for it. No creativity allowed. Vague assignment instructions don't help either. Exams are purely theoretical, a far cry from what he teaches in lecture time.

Lots of labs, but based off of in class learning, shouldn't take more than a couple hours. Assignments are tougher, as it should be. My problem though is he focuses on code in class, but tests theory on the midterm and final. You could be amazing at coding, but end up failing from being able to memorize every single slide (9 * 90-200 slides btw).

Lectures are long, no class activities, hard to understand. He teaches at a more advanced level for first year and  expects you to have prior programming knowledge.
