Reviews of professor Samarendra Hedaoo

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took this class online, and the class online you will learn a lot. To help the class he did multiple zoom lectures weekly, and if you need him he makes time. Has a rough accent, the online class has many instructors, but Hedaoo will always be there unlike some. You will learn a lot, and he is very patient so dont feel bad about questions.

Starts from the fundamentals, then proceeds to talk about the more difficult concepts. Plus a great guy overall.

Hedaoo is a good man; he is friendly and tries his best. However, I believe this term was his first time teaching a 100-level CS course, and it was apparent through the overestimation of the average student's coding abilities, as almost everyone in the course had never coded before. He often spent lectures having us draw flowcharts. Take this at LB

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

He does not cover in class things that are required for projects. He does not post assignments until they are due. He is difficult to understand during lecture. If the class was hard, he would make it impossible.

For the eCampus university, he stands out as the best professor I have had.  He goes above and beyond by doing weekly webinars, which were life saving.  I wish all the eCampus classes followed suit.  He genuinely cares about students and offers to meet one-on-one if you are struggling or need extra help.  An overall kind and caring professor.

I took him for CS161 & CS162. He is a great professor. He held regular teaching and help sessions, is responsive on teams, and helps you out with any questions you have.

Professor Hedaoo was the only reason I passed cs 161.  The online modules were very limited and confusing for someone just starting into the computer science world.  He had a live help session each week and would start from basics and break it down.  He posted the zoom help sessions for those that couldn't attend.   I wish I had him for 162.

If you have this professor, I would highly suggest changing lectures. I am not a student who skips class, but the lecture for this class was entirely useless. Topics were not explained well and lots of class time was wasted because he could not figure out why his code wasn't compiling. Very disappointing.

I took CS161 this term online. The class was extremely well-organized. Professor Hedaoo's lectures were outstanding. My only complaint is that there were too few of them. After each one, I felt I had a much better understanding of the course material. I will look him up for future classes.
