Reviews of professor Matin Pirouz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Her mandatory attendance policy was extremely offputting at the beginning of the semester, but her lectures are engaging and had enough substance for me to feel like my time was never wasted. The tests are difficult but fair and manageable. Great professor, couldn't recommend her enough for 115.

I just graduated and wanted to share my personal experience with Dr Matin so it helps everyone else succeed. I took 3 courses with her (algorithm, big data & complex nets). All 3 were amazing and I got a job with the knowledge. She emphasizes on projects and I learnt AWS in big data. Complex networks was also rich in useful topics. good luck!!!!

I was so scared taking this class since she made it very clear from day one that it was a challenging class. However, the class is very organized, and as long as you listen to the lectures and understand the material, you will pass it! she is not a harsh grader and gives partial credit all the time. Highly recommend taking her!

Study her powerpoints. Read the book to better understand of topics she goes over in class it really does help. Tests questions come from powerpoints. This class is one of the most important computer science courses. Class is not hard if you just put in a bit of effort imo.

Arguably the best CSCI Professor at Fresno State. You will learn a lot of relevant, interesting, and useful information in any of her classes. Her classes are a bit more difficult but that comes with the topics and how important they are. Study her PowerPoints and read the chapters aligned with the current classwork. 10/10.

Professor Pirouz is no doubt the most helpful professor there is. Her class is not that easy but if you study well, You will definitely get a good grade. You cannot BS her class, her exams are difficult. She does not do much focus on the coding but more on the core concepts. Take the labs very seriously to learn the course material.
