Reviews of professor David Vargas

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
4 hands on quizzes. Open notes midterm and open notes final (20 Multiple Choice for each exam). 2 homework assignments. No presentation and no research paper. And he knows his material but please pay attention in class to pass. Also get ready to do the labs if you like technical stuff.

If you are in the Cyber Security program you will be taking Prof. Vargas's class at some point. Very knowledgeable and experienced professor. Dedicate enough time to study his hand on labs, midterm and final are open book but still difficult. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION IN HIS CLASS!!!!!!

Prof. Vargas is an incredible teacher in the GWU Cybersecurity Program. He is one of the few professors in the program who is an actual practitioner and his technical knowledge is so valuable. He puts a lot of effort into his labs and they're very relevant to tools used in industry. Overall he's great though his tests a little tricky at times.

ehh, the class was alright. we had lots of papers due. Lot of tricky questions on his exams.. (midterm & final). He can but very blunt towards his students & clearly has favorites. Takes a long time to grade hw/papers.
