Reviews of professor Benjamin Say

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Ben Say is a very fun, easygoing teacher. He does grade tests very harshly, but they are not impossible. The only problem with Ben is that he doesn't understand the material. He was unable to demonstrate how to do problems in class and had to demontrate the problems during the next lecture when he had the premade notes another proffesor gave him.

He is a really fun teacher and really knows what he is talking about. The information is presented in a very clear and entertaining manner.

Ben refuses to explain the material or go over any relevant examples that would make the problems understandable. He intentionally tries to trick his students and is not of much help in office hours. I would avoid and try to get literally anybody else.

A horrible teacher, do no take him if you don't have to. Seems to despise his students, intentionally attempts to catch and fail students. Will try to trick you.

Benjamin Say seems like a nice guy. However, when it comes to your grade, being a kind individual does not benefit your grade. The class is very unorganized. With coding being a problematic language, Ben does not take any effort to give visual examples with codes. He expects you to read the textbook and fully understand. Avoid at all costs.

He doesn't know what he is talking about ever. He doesn't care about his students and he should not be a teacher.

Ben turned a class that I was really looking forward to into the worst class I have taken in the CS dept. Total lack of explanations on what is expected of assignments and group projects. Little to no examples to help guide you. He was also TWO MONTHS behind on responding to emails. Stay away if you can, the headache is not worth it at all.

This is easily one of the worst professors I've had. It hurts to say it because he seems like a really cool professor and is pretty nice during the lectures. I also think his lectures can sometimes be fun, but most students would probably disagree. His tests are pretty hard compared to the content you are learning. If you can avoid him, please do.

A computer science professor who is terrible with computers. Class is taught by TAs pretty much exclusively. He does everything last minute and isn't helpful when you ask for help or clarification. The tests and tricks in them to try and make you miss them. The course work and exams do not match up much, be prepared to study a ton on your own.

Ben is friendly and knows the content well. It was difficult to keep up with note taking during lecture but I found out halfway through class that everything I was writing down is in the slides. There were lots of tests and they only had a couple questions so I had to study well because missing 1 or 2 questions had a big effect on my grade.
