Reviews of professor Adam Grupa

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Quizzes were so difficult considering how little time you got, and complexity of the questions. One time I attended his office hours to ask a question about lecture. He didn't like my question so he made someone else explain to me. Never attended another office hour again. Take advantage of TA's if you are in his class.

Professor Grupa is a nice professor, although somewhat dry. He and the TAs are always willing to answer questions about projects, so completing them early can be very helpful for grading as attention to detail is important. I found the exams he wrote to be somewhat difficult, so make sure to study for them if you want to do well.

Just show up to and genuinely pay attention to lectures, and make sure you do/understand every lab and HW, and you should be fine. It's borderline useless to study for any exams if you just do these two things, because they're pretty much all you need to understand everything on the exams. He's always willing to explain anything that's confusing.

He's okay, he tries. I almost fell asleep during 50% of his lectures, all of his lecture is in a single tone, and classes were boring. Exams were okay though, not terribly hard.

Great lecturer, willing to help outside of class, and an "A" grade is obtainable in this course.

"Tough but fair" is the best description I can give. The course itself is hard, and if you fall behind on lectures you will struggle. However, Grupa is helpful if you ask questions in class or during labs. Sometimes he delivers the lectures monotonously, but he still understands the material and will help you understand it too if you need help.

He's a nice person, always willing to help, and often provides extra study resources. His grading is fair. The course content, slides, and assignments are all department-designed, so there's not much to comment on. The exams get progressively harder, but overall they're reasonable and within the standard range.

Man's got a more bland voice than Justin Bieber

He's okay, he speaks in the most monotone voice ever and he's not super fun, but once or twice a semester he will be in a good mood and say the funniest thing you've ever heard as if he didn't just decimate your GPA on the last exam.

Very good teacher.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's a good professor, knowledgable on the content of the course, and is willing to answer questions. A little bit intimidating at first, but tests were relatively straightforward and graded fairly. Lectures are pretty boring, but get the job done.
