Reviews of professor Subhasish Das

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He actually creates his own lectures for the class instead of using outdated lectures from other instructors. He answers questions fairly quickly and explains things well in his lectures. The course content follows along with the lectures as well, unlike other instructors whose lectures don't coincide with the concepts you are learning

The tests are really hard (some trick questions), however, overall Das is a very generous grader. The grade breakdown was 60% tests, 38% assignments, and 7% quiz/attendance/extra credit (I think everyone got the full 7%). This adds up to 105% but its graded like 100. Personally, I found Das funny, but I could see how some people could be offended.

Professor Das was the best instructor in my first semester. He's funny, explains things clearly, and is very knowledgeable. His tests are difficult and will really make sure you know the material, but as long as you know what to put on your cheat sheet(s), you will be fine since he grades leniently and gives extra credit for attendance and quizzes.

Das probably has the hardest section of CSE205 at ASU, but that's great because it made CSE240 which is a re-hash of 205 in C/C++ a real breeze. The tests he gives are tough and the homework is going to be quite a step up from the lectures, but he does a great job of conveying the material. Expect equal amounts of laughs and brow furrows.

I reached out to Professor Das through email five times throughout the semester and never received a single response. He was astonishingly unclear about assignment due dates and repeatedly forgot to upload labs and assignments. In addition, he didn't teach the class at all. That role was left entirely to TA's YouTube videos and the course textbook.
