Reviews of professor Thomas Gilray

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Gilray is a rare instructor that will challenge you rather than hold your hand. The previous version of this course was nonstop coding, but he managed to include theory and give students an inside look to how the topics could lead them to a career in research. The class is worth it if you want to have a CS career.

Definitely not the easiest class in the major. I didn't do all the coding projects and didn't turn in a single written homework and still did fine. Focus on staying above the class average and you'll be gucci. Take this class seriously, don't wanna have to wait an entire year to retake it! Y'all better put some respect on Gilray's name!

I really enjoyed this class. It is a very difficult class, but it is a worthwhile class to take. The concepts of artificial intelligence are abstract, yet fascinating. You will have three coding projects, quite a bit of group work in studying research papers, a midterm, and final. Dr. Gilray explains all concepts very clearly.

Taking Gilray's 401 was an exceptional experience. He's knowledgeable, passionate, and will help you with genuine questions. Get comfortable reading Racket documentation, and paying attention during lecture. Be present, make a serious effort to be there mentally. Good luck!
