Reviews of professor Qusay Mahmoud

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Took 5200 in the fall of 2023. Havent programmed in 5 years, and while there was a fair bit of content, zybooks made it pretty easy to study. Good lecturer, challenging but fair assignments, lovely guy to speak with and overall great prof. My only gripe is that I studied python only for him to tell us the day of the midterm that it wouldnt be on it

Not very impressed with his "teaching". Relied on the TA and guest speakers for workshops. Grades unfairly for projects. He will literally "teach" you 1+1 is 2 and expect you to build a rocket as a group project. His expectations are dangerously unrealistic. Spent 3 months working on very novel application only for him to call it "super simple".
