Reviews of professor Amin Alipour

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
You will struggle if you have never coded before. I took this class twice, Professor Alipour teaches as if everyone has experience. It's possible to pass if you have the dedication to learn. The book helps but it's better if you're hands-on. Reach out to TA's, and attend lectures for examples that could be on exams. Exams are random frqs.

(CS1336)This is  an intro course to computer science, he even encouraged many non-compsci kids to take it however this class was so difficult to pass. He won't tell you what will be on the test and doesn't really break down materials in a beginner friendly way, just shows you what he does. Studied CONSTANTLY and still failed the tests.

Took the prof for Intro to Comp Sci and Programming and still felt the class was hard even with previous programming experience. He's really ambiguous about what's going to be on the exams and does not offer any study guides unless you attend his review lecture (which still wont explain much). You're practically gambling with this guy.
