Shrutarshi Basu

The lectures were not very interesting and I felt like I had to spend a lot of additional time at TA hours to get a grasp on the material. It was way too difficult for a beginner level class in my opinion.

Was a super easy class to get an A but learned about super random languages. Did not have a syllabus and did not even have a homework assignment until the 5th week. Do not think I really learned anything.

The content of the course was fine, and wasn't overly difficult. I did, however, feel that Basu was not an effective instructor. He showed little interest in the class, and didn't even seem to know what he was teaching most of the time. He didn't create the curriculum, but it also looked like he was reading the slides for the first time in class. Our "live-coding" was just him copying and pasting dozens of lines of code at once and then not explaining what they do. Grading was very generous on the exams.
