Reviews of professor Florin Ciucu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Absolutely one of the best teachers ever. Great sense of humor (not for the weak), passionate and engaging. Could be difficult but he is very supportive. Easy to talk to, very down to earth and understanding. Make sure you attend all lectures ;)

One of the worst, if not the worst lecturer. The teaching is not precise at all.

Good lecturer, passionate about what he teaches. Beware of his love of trick questions.

One of the best professors. He dives deep into the fundamentals to explain the maths behind what he is teaching. His questions are often very tricky; which require creativity to answer in exams. Usually there aren't any lecture notes in PDF form. He writes the notes on the board. Don't skip his lectures.

A nice professor in lectures. Coursework is not given much help. The analytics have been covered over and over again even in the module.

Human-beings can hardly read the stuff that he writes on the board. Trying to be funny and hilarious but hardly get a response from students. I quite doubt that he really enjoys to let students engage in the class and suddenly interrupt the student who responded to the questions that he proposed.

Lectures are interesting, even though the subject is not easy to learn. Great support available outside lectures. I spent an hour going through each specific problem until I understood everything I needed to for the exam. The exam was fair and the bonus points system is excellent.

Good lectures and a very funny lecturer. He is like a Romanian version of Matt is some lectures, both amazing. The content could be explained more. A good module overall.

Really likes the subject and speaking to students about it. The discrete maths can be tough and feel strange when it you talk about pigs flying but Florin tries hard to make it fun and interesting. Make the subject seem much better than it would be if he were not there.

He made this course very hard to understand. And we have a very difficult exam (50%) and a assignment (4000-6000 words)
