Reviews of professor Matias Korman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
After Comp11, I thought that since people told me Matias was leaving I could actually learn something. Instead, I endured two more grueling semesters of his utter nonsense. If you go to class, you will be worse off. Do yourself a favor and wait on classes you have w him till later after he's gone. Most unclear teacher I've ever had. I want a refund

Professor Korman was very condescending when students did not immediately understand concepts in his class. Would not recommend taking the class with him unless you absolutely must.

I don't know why he can teach this core course. The teaching is just terrible. The lectures are not completely useless but not helpful very much. I don't think there are bad students, but I believe there are bad teachers.

Professor Korman does not care about students. I do not think his teaching is clear not successful. This course material is not too hard because it should be a standard course, but he made the material hard to understand. Always look for other resources to study.

Matias is nice and the workload is what should be expected out of a COMP class (which is a lot). His lectures are really boring though but overall, the class is not too bad. Office hours with the TAs are a big help.

Matias doesn't care about his students or their improvement. He isn't considerate and he teaches the lecture in the worst way.

Just reads off the slides and doesn't really explain the concepts. Hard to follow. Course is co-taught with Mark Sheldon and I've learned way more in Sheldon's lectures.

DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS WITH MATIAS IF YOU WANT TO GRADUATE WITH AN EDUCATION. I also want Tufts to refund me for every class I had with this person who is allowed to teach.

This guy lacks the ability to teach algorithms. He solves easy problems in class and gives completely unrelated questions and much harder questions in exams. He refers to math as 'ugly', which makes it harder for students to understand concepts in algorithms that require advanced math. DON'T TAKE THIS COURSE IF YOU WANT TO LEARN ALGORITHMS.

Not sure why all the others are so scathing - Mati is so so caring about his students, and he's always willing to help outside of lectures if necessary! It's obvious that he's really passionate about CS, and he'll always want to help you out if you care enough about the subject.

The worst Professor I had in my life. I had problem understanding what he is trying explain because the explanation is too bad. I basically cannot understand the lecture, not to mention doing homeworks on my own. I use the office hours to do homeworks. Too bad!!!
