Extremely unorganized, bit too smart for his own good. You’d learn a lot more and have less stress with Khatab

Term Spring 2020Professor Stephen Lee Difficulty 3/5Quality 2/5

The project descriptions were the worst part about this class. They were extremely vague about what was to be accomplished as well as what output was expected. Many of these projects could have been straight forward if the description had been better. The exams were also challenging but manageable if you put the time in to study. Despite this Dr. Lee is a good professor and grades very fairly.

Stephen Lee was a bit difficult to understand at times but I he does a pretty good job teaching. His tests and projects were difficult, but he has good slides to go back and look through and he did a good job offering support to students when they needed help.
