Reviews of professor Nambi Thirumalai

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The professor tries to make this class very interactive. The case studies and the practical examples from the class helped me with my interviews. I recommend his class.

if you want a professor that doesn't attempt to understand the students he teaches, then this is the professor to take. Deep inside he has good intentions, but his actions make it harder to realize that. Lecture heavy, slides are always filled up with words, the organization is off, and the lecture itself is extremely monotoned. Good luck.

Quizzes and exams are easy, but the class structure is terrible. Mandates attendance but he doesn't teach, everyone stands and popcorn reads the lectures that no one understands and makes students close their laptops so you can't even take notes. Also doesn't announce the due dates for labs/readings and quizzes announced the day before.

The content of this class was interesting and Professor Thirumalai related concepts to real world scenarios that made the subject easy to learn. The online mode of the course was flexible and conducive to learning. Overall, this was a great course! Would take again. I am now motivated to pursue cryptography and cybersecurity because of this class.

Caring professor sharing real world examples. He tries to engage students in each class and attendance counts. Easy assignments, not too difficult projects and tests. I learned a lot and it has become my favorite class. I would take his class again anytime.
