Reviews of professor Matias Korman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The material for Algorithms should not be that complicated, but somehow Matias makes it feel unbearably hard. I recently learned the only way I can do well on the homeworks is to go to office hours (with 20-30 other kids who have no idea what is going on) where TAs essentially give you the answers. Would not recommend this prof for this course

Mati doesn't have the best rep, but he's a caring and hard working professor who genuinely wants the best for his students. He always welcomes feedback and gets better each term (exam averages have steadily increased). Just be sure to have an open mind and use the resources at your disposal. And you have questions/comments, go to his office hours!

My favorite CS professor at Tufts! Had him for comp15 and comp160. Sometimes the content can be challenging but once you start tackling a problem his explanations make total sense. He's also a giant nerd. During the last online lecture of the semester he got his kid on zoom for a few minutes, it was so sweet!

Worst ever! What a shame to struggle for a whole semester. Not even qualified to teach the course
