Reviews of professor Masatoshi Hirabayashi

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Most difficult class Ive ever had at Auburn. The material was not particularly hard, but the professor was abysmal in teaching it and relating it to the students. First few tests/HWs arent bad, but towards the end of the semester the work becomes flat out impossible to do. Avoid if at all possible. Get ready to code

He is smart, but does not know how to dumb topics down to an undergraduate level. He gives good feedback but doesn't know how to teach. He's here for research and at times is antagonistic with his grading policies. Make friends to survive. Last semester final average was 8, this semester was 31 so definitely do the bonus credit he gives!

Worst professor at Auburn. His lectures are useless and are only loosely related to the homework and projects. The class is very code-heavy and if you're not good at coding then you'll need somebody to help you. Be wary, they do crack down hard on cheating so make sure that your code is different than everybody else's.

Worst professor I have ever had. Refuses to help students because of which we are forced to depend on TAs for help. HWs are all doable if you struggle enough but final is way worse because he doesn't teach you enough and expects you to know everything. He does not seem to care at all and it is almost like he enjoys watching you fail the class.
