Reviews of professor Guillaume Faddoul

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
His lectures are very heavy and is very monotone. The materials can be very confusing but he offers 2 hours of practice during each session during summer session which is useful. However, him breaking us into breakout groups discourages a lot of people from staying for the practice portion. He grades fairly and give partial points.

He was helpful and gave partial credit for midterms, but the final was brutal. Thank God he dropped the lowest test and homework. The overall lecture is long, but the computer lab was fun. I took two classes with him!

The Database Environment, Modeling Data, The Enhanced E-R Model, Relational Model and Normalization, MySQL Workbench, Introduction to SQL, Advanced SQL, Data Warehousing and Data Integration, and Big Data and Analytics. all of this is incorporated in a group project. the class practice for each chapter should help with the homework assignments.

He is a great professor, and he is helpful when needed. Homework is easy, and tests are similar to homework and practice.

Slow and at times lectures gets boring. Coffee is a must in this class or with this professor, at least.

Read book else things get confusing-lots of info. Lectures helpful to understanding material. Projects most important for grade. Weekly quiz, drops 1 of 3 exams. Friendly, polite, helpful office hours, gives good amount of time for HWK. If you keep up with assignments easy to pass, if you fall behind, recovery is cumbersome. Learned much!

First review here, hope this helps. He is a great person. Always available to help, very kind and caring. He might not be a great professor, but he's new, so give him a chance! He knows the subject well. Exams are not hard as long as you do the quizzes and homework. He will read out from the slides, thus not very engaging. Be prepared for team work
