Reviews of professor Jonathan Misurda

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Mirsurda is really passionate about the material, but I don't think he relates it to the students. He doesn't give a lot of homework so I you don't do well there isn't much of a buffer. He often speaks the whole lecture, so it's hard to follow for 75 minutes. He often gives snarky responses to the students when they ask questions.

335 teaches you very pragmatic things, but Misurda's lectures are kind of useless and the guy takes forever to go over trivial things, while not taking enough time to go over harder material. The group aspect of this class is ok and executed well; exam questions often ask for code (e.g. JUnit and JavaFX from scratch)and are graded strictly.

I was really disappointed after taking this class. Dr. Misruda makes this class unnecessarily difficult for no reason. There's absolutely no rubric for assignments. He talks the whole lecture time without any participation, so it's really hard to pay attention. He will cover a needed topic one or two days before an assignment is due.

The class wasn't all that difficult and it is my fault for slacking off towards the end. But he was easily the worst CS professor I have ever had. I'm not sure if it was just me but the way he taught the class and interacted with students made me feel very unmotivated to participate. I would avoid taking a class with him at all costs.

I avoid Misurda at every chance I get, you will not find me willingly taking his class. All his lectures are monotoned, without use of examples or direction. Projects are extremely hard, no structure to the course and lack of examples in class. TA's are more helpful at explaining concepts then the teacher. No piazza even tho class is online.

Boring speaker, monotone, with no passion. I have Aspergers and have difficulty with social situations. He did not accommodate my disability, just scoffed. Group projects would have been much better if there was a discussion board, forum, or chatsomething to get to know classmates and discuss problems. If I could ask for a refund I would

Took two classes (335 and 352) with him and I respect him quite a bit. He got a PhD in JUnit testing, what a mad lad. He's very knowledgeable about programming and is capable of engaging in good discussions about the material. Sometimes, it seems like he's condescending, yeah, but I feel like that's because he thinks this is easier material

Misurda has the style of teaching being, "You're on your own". His lectures are very dry and hard to convey sometimes. For 5 weeks he did his 'slides' on a piece of paper where students would follow and copy notes. Come exam time, he doesn't have them. The class average for that exam was a 60 and our second midterm exam average was a 58. Dont recco
