Reviews of professor Syed Raza

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Raza is absolutely amazing.  He is the best instructor for CIS.  He cares about his students and their education. This is the only instructor I know that gives you their cell phone number so you can reach him at any time.  That is going above and beyond for his students.

Dr. Raza is a great professor. CIS 146 is a very easy class but it has a high workload so it can get boring quickly, but he does a great job of making class enjoyable (he tells stories and jokes) and keeps up with each student's progress during the class period. He works really hard to make sure everyone understands the course material.

Easily the best programming professor you'll ever take, he WANTS YOU TO PASS AND UNDERSTAND PROGRAMMING. What more could you ask for?

I took this class in Fall 2022. The class is well structured, based upon programming exercises, quizzes, a midterm, and a final exam. The class isn't terribly hard if you put in the effort. However, some of the questions on quizzes/exams were rather vague or outright wrong, and the midterm covered chapters 1-5, even though we only covered ch. 1-3.

I took this class online, and we were able to work ahead on the next week's material. All of the assignments were pretty basic, but if we ever had trouble, then Dr. Raza was easily reachable for assistance via email/phone. Additionally, there is a significant amount of bonus offered through quizzes in each section.
