Reviews of professor Muneeb Alvi

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's speaking too fast and with no points, basically like reading PowerPoint.

Very fast paced last, mostly reading from powerpoint. Class can be boring and assignments can be difficult if you have never used python before, but office hours are extremely helpful and he provides useful examples that show you exactly how the program should run. Not an impossible class.

Went into intro to python completely blind had no idea what I was doing and he was available enough and super willing to help so I managed to get a decent grade thanks to him. He really wants his students to succeed and is also understanding with project extensions.

Muneeb is the best. He's super cool and helpful, he always holds extra office hours around project deadlines or challenging assignments, and he always encourages questions and does his best to answer them. Programming is tricky and is meant to challenge you but he gives you the tools you need to do well. Definitely take him!!! He's also super funny

Lectures were fast and a little boring since he only read off of the slides and didn't provide much insight on the material. Grading criteria was vague and he didn't give helpful feedback on why points were taken off and how to keep errors from happening on future assignments. HOWEVER, he stayed longer than required to help students in his office.

Had him for intro to python. Pretty funny. Moves through the lectures a little fast (he did begin slowing down when he realized we were going to run out of material before the end of semester). Holds a lot of a office hours (regular and special) to help with assignments, and if you have him you should really go to those. Approachable and helpful.

Muneeb is a very good professor. I didn't enjoy class, but I mean to have an engaging professor is not that common. You get easy grading criteria, and lenient deadlines for HW. I took 0008, which is an easy class compared higher level CS courses. If you're majoring in CS, take the Java introduction. Because, all other CS courses are Java-based.

Great professor all around. Will definitely work with you if he sees your trying (aka go to office hours). Not a CS major and definitely would've struggled without his help. Homework every week but really does help you understand the material.
