Reviews of professor Peyman Faizian

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
You have to put some effort in for your grade. For an upper-level CS course it is what you expect. Project heavy, but not impossible if you form study groups early on. He knows his content well, very respectable.

Pretty easy class and introduces you to basics of many CS languages. He wants you to pass.

Go to class, read the book, and youll be good. Lectures are clear but you need to keep up or its easy to fall behind.

Gives you 30 hour projects with a little more than a week to finish them. Extremely difficult and constantly has to push back deadlines. Tests and pop quizzes are handwritten coding that he gives no partial credit for. Once gave a speech to us that the previous prof of the class had a near 40% failure rate and that he saw that as perfectly fine.

He is currently at UNF and I struggled (am still struggling) through his class heavily. 5 of my friends switched majors out of mechanical engineering. If your good with coding you should be fine but he over complicates everything.

You will have to work many hours outside of class if you expect to get a passing grade. If you don't have prior experience coding, Dr. Faizian is not the best professor to take for your first coding class. He covers the material in class, but tests your grasp of the concepts on the tests and quizzes, which makes studying difficult.
