Reviews of professor Marcin Jurdzinski

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The coursework was tedious in a completely mundane way. The teaching is decent, slides were lifted straight from a textbook but were sufficient.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Really good and always replies to questions really quickly. He adapted his teaching to suit what we didn't understand first time. He would also devote a lot of time to explaining stuff to me if I didn't understand and was willing to explain stuff further than just what would be examinable.

The quiz was ajoke and basically set u up for failure. Mr Marcin seemed to be learning the course together with us, seemed v unprepared. Uploaded many MANY lecturers months after the course finished and it was of course examinable. Useful module, but you have to teach yourself that!

Lectures were verbatim reading from the textbook, but the textbook itself is pretty good so I suppose it doesn't harm the experience, just renders the lectures a little pointless. The exam is difficult and quite time pressured, but it's to be expected for an algorithms module. Overall I think "OK" is a fair rating.

Unfortunately, I haven't found Marcin to be a good lecturer this term; most of the problem comes from the fact that he takes the textbook slides, rather than produce his own. These are full of errors, and he clearly doesn't know them very well, and they overlook a lot of content that may come up in the exam; he also can't answer questions well :(

One of the best lectures in University of Warwick!
