Reviews of professor Paris Kalathas

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He cannot teach well at all. Multiple times the class would be so confused on what he was trying to say that he brought up students to teach the topic for him. I felt that I got nothing out of taking this class. Worst Prof I've ever had.

He's is available and personable but the lecture notes and code presented often have errors so I wouldn't recommend learning from them. If possible read the textbook for everything. If he would run and actively display the code examples in lecture I think it would go a long way to help bring his lectures to the next level.

Paris was a nice guy on a personal level, with a thick EU accent. Lectures after the midterm were practically pointless as most of the material was taught early. He teaches straight from the slides which makes attendance completely optional. The tests were basically the same as the practice tests, and weekly quiz solutions were all over quizlet.

Professor is very difficult to follow in lectures and it seems like they don't know what they are sometimes doing. If you want to understand the content you need to learn, do not trust everything that he says in the lectures because there have been multiple times when he has been wrong.

Lectures are confusing, messy, and disorganized. Seems like they have good intentions when talking one on one, but is very stubborn with teaching style.

This professor isn't great, but definitely doesn't deserve the extreme negative reviews. Professor provides slides for every lecture and almost all information can be found on those slides. Assignments can be tedious (which is due to the coding in assembly and not anything the professor caused) but are overall pretty easy. The final was a breeze.

He seems like a nice enough person he's just terrible at teaching. His code doesn't work during lectures, he won't admit when he has made at mistake, and he tests on things in the lecture slides that were not covered in class. Two long slideshows per class that he never gets through and then the material at the end is on the quiz and the final. RUN

Reasonable teacher who gets unjustified hate in many of these reviews. Yes, he made some mistakes in our class when I had him, but he literally just got some of the math wrong, no big deal. He teaches relatively well, but I found myself doing further research after class, which is not to be unexpected in a college class.
