Reviews of professor Debajyoti Mondal

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Mondal really cares about his students, and is accessible outside of class, but man, his lecture notes are absolutely abhorrent. You rarely can decipher what is and is not important. You'll spend much of your time looking up extra information. Fortunately, he is very gracious with marks, so if you put effort in, you should at least pass.

As expected for 360, this was a tough course from start to end. Unfortunately, although Prof. Mondal is a very reasonable person and does really try to help the students, he is very difficult to understand - this lead to many students, including myself, to try teach ourselves the course material and rely on the textbook instead. Be ready to read.

Goes through topics super fast in class leaving most people confused. The lectures barely help with the assignments. The only reason I still recommend taking this class is because it is still not as bad as CMPT-332.

One key thing about the course is that it covers the data science concepts like PCA and clustering, which are then used in visualizing data. I thought this is pretty neat course in cs. Use of a textbook could be better.

Dr. Mondal was an amazing professor in every way. His lectures were clear and filled with examples that follow the textbook given. Despite the content being hard, he was very lenient and helpful when it came to assignments and exams. He did his best to make things accessible and easy for his students amidst the pandemic.

Online lecture with some interaction. Pretty good CS course.

The course could cover some more material, some students really pushed it back by complaining. It was a standard 3rd year course for me. One suggestion for the prof is to add more theory question than coding questions.

Professor Mondal taught the algorithms very well. I liked the way he explained the intuitions behind them. I thought computer science is all about software and deep learning, but this was a very interesting course that made me brainstorm.

Professor Mondal is a great person. This was an online course due to the pandemic. The lecture videos could be more streamlined, the assignments were great. Not a hard course but more use of a textbook would be great.

I took this course because I thought it would be good to have alongside interactive interface design. Professor did a great job in getting us through a variety of visualization topics that I believe would help me in making proper design decisions. It was also nice to get started with D3.
