Reviews of professor Elias Kourpas

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great professor that truly cares about his students. He emphasizes understanding concepts and applications over memorization, and makes sure everyone understands each topic before moving on. Attendance is important since there's no textbook, but if you pay attention you will do fine. He responds quickly to emails & wants everyone to do well.

Great class! Teacher is always available to help after class. Go to office hours, they are very helpful!

He is such a good guy and really really wants the best for his students. He is really good with names and love those that participate and adds participation grade if you do. Class is kinda hard but if you actually pay attention in class and ask questions and do all of the homework you'll do great. 3 exams, no final.

Go to class and you will be fine. Definitely need to put some effort into it but as long as you go to class, you will get an A. He's a great teacher and willing to help you.

Great online teacher

Kourpas was by far the worst professor I've had in my college experience so far. He calls you out on Zoom to participate even if you don't raise your hand/don't understand. He also yelled at a girl for asking him for help to fix her software on the first exam. You won't understand any of this because the software is R, which is completely obsolete

Kourpas was an excellent professor. Definitely have to go to class if you want to get an A, the material is not easy to teach yourself. Part of the exams are open note and he drops the lowest exam grade. I had a great experience with Kourpas for MISY262 and I highly recommend him.

Kourpas seemed like a nice guy, but constantly calls on you in zoom to participate (you get extra credit when you do) if you havent done it enough. My laptop wouldnt load R for the longest time and I went to office hours several times for help to fix it and he didnt care at all and said to fix it on my own time.

Took this as an asynchronous class and it wasn't bad. The material in general can be tough, but his lectures/presentations are very helpful. The exams were pretty challenge, but you'll do well if you practice and study. The homeworks are like mini-quizzes.

Kourpas is one of my favorite professors at UD. Class was enjoyable and his exams were a lot easier than the practice ones he posted online. As long as you pay attention and take notes, you will get an A

Awesome professor made R really easy. There are 2 group projects all based on lectures. Weekly easy quizzes on canvas, 3 exams and a final, final is optional if you currently have a passing grade/happy with your grade.
