I am taking CS 3510 with Abrahim Ladha, and I think he's a great lecturer. He gives clear proofs and examples of the algorithms we go over in class. Abrahim is also very accessible after classes and is able to provide counterexamples and thought-provoking ideas on the fly.

Prof. Ladha is really interested in teaching the subject and tries to help students. The class was confusing in the beginning, but it got a lot better as the semester passed. He extends the homeworks and makes the exams decent. Overall good professor.

Professor Ladha really cares about his students and it shows. He is extremely accessible outside class and is always ready to help students with HW. He's extremely passionate about the topic and it's fun to see new perspectives on things. Exams are pretty decent and HWs might take some time but they are fun as well.

Professor Ladha is deeply knowledgeable about the subject and the lectures are rather engaging and well-paced. He is not 100% perfect but will dedicate time outside the classroom to resolve whatever issue you might have.

His lectures can be confusing and I ended up learning a lot of the later material on my own. But he has a generous grading policy and goes above and beyond to give fast feedback. He gives test grades back within two days, and will give the test itself back so you can see exactly where you lost points. You can tell he cares about his students

I never attended lectures but he posts extremely detailed notes for his lectures on his website and he follows the textbook very closely. If you are stuck on homework he releases practice problems with answer key. I always felt prepared for exams. Grading can be BS but gives 2% CIOS Bonus plus rounds grades up plus drops and exam and homework.

The prof is great overall. He makes a lot of mistakes in the lectures, but a ton of resources are provided for us to learn from. The people who hated the prof either never wanted to learn something themselves apart from the lectures or they wanted free grades. The TA team is pretty solid as well and does all they can do to support the students.

Ladha is extremely intelligent and flexible. TA's are amazing and provided many resources. I didn't attend lecture since the professor taught at a level too complex for learning material for the first time, but read the book/watched Abernathy's lectures. I would recommend office hours/actively doing the HW to prepare for tests.

The lectures were a bit overwhelming at the beginning, mainly because no notes were posted on Canvas. However, as the semester progressed, typed notes were added and more practice problems were released. There are also 10-15 pts of extra credit for every exam. Overall good lecturer, but sometimes he brings up topics that are too hard for the class.

Great course! He is definitely one of the more difficult professors for this course but you'll end up learning a lot. His exams and problem sets provide a lot of practice. Very generous with deadlines and offers a lot of extra credit on tests. Allows you to exempt the final. His lectures can be a little math heavy though.

Was a really good professor overall. Great and charismatic lecturer overall

It might be because he's a young lad but it makes algorithms very fun to learn.

10/10

Look up abrahim ladha on soundcloud Great prof. Great lecturer. Even better singing voice

Excellent professor for CS 3510. Does his best to make the class manageable and to make himself accessible to students. Lecture style is great, it's clear that he's well-versed in the content and enjoys teaching it.

Ladha is an amazing professor. His lectures are thoughtful and engaging, he responds to questions on Piazza almost instantly, and he listens to his students. Tests are difficult but not too bad. Going to his review session the day before helps a lot.

Great professor, though a little math-heavy at times (especially in the first unit). The course is made to be manageable and the TAs are open to allowing extensions on homework when needed. Though he might not be the easiest option, he is worth taking to learn the content since this is the most important class you take as a CS major.

CS 3510 is a hard class but I think Ladha makes it as fair as possible. Great lectures and the tests are reasonable. A bit too much homework though (seriously, and multiple times they made a homework due only 6 days after it was assigned)

I want to share a story about why I like this professor so much. One time after lecture, I wanted to prepare for Exam 3. So, after lecture I went to his office to ask some questions. This man patiently and kindly went over all 15 questions on the practice exam with me for the next *two hours* on a random Wednesday evening. He is a treasure.

This guy is a G. Absolutely love his teaching style and methods. He's knowledgeable and cares a lot (even tho he doesn't show it). The content is also really crucial for CS careers and is super interesting. Take him if you get a chance; I promise you won't regret it. #loveladha

One of my favorite professors at GT! He really cares about his students and does all he can to help them achieve their best in the class. Great lecturer who's very good at explaining the concepts well and making this difficult material interesting. Homeworks are difficult but prepare you well for the exams which are always graded fairly. Take him!!

Wonderful professor with engaging lectures and taught very thoroughly. He was super helpful during office hours and really cares about his students. Class is 80% exams but exams are fair and have lots of extra credit. Receiving an A requires hard work but if you go to all the lectures and understand the homework, it should be relatively easy!

The TAs for this course are the most unhelpful TAs I have ever experienced. During office hours they give conflicting answers and they give unthoughtful and unhelpful responses on Piazza. I cannot wait for CIOS to give this feedback so hoping this is seen before then and TAs can actually help.

Idk how this class is going from a grade prospective, I think the class average in the class right now is a 74% which is kinda insane. Most kids straight up have a C in the class. The exams are incredibly hard. BUT my leetcode abilities have never been more cracked. So if you need a job take ladha. Hopefully he chills out after DP, so the GPA survi

Its insane how smart he is. Like actually. Take him, you wont regret it. Also someone please him an whiteboard eraser.

Ladha is the hardest CS 3510/11 prof. BUT he will get you a job. Here is your strat: take easy classes if you take Ladha that semester, and make this class your main grind. Apply for all the highest paying CS jobs and practice the concepts as you also do the neetcode roadmap. Don't follow the neetcode solutions, make your own based on class info.

Professor Ladha is an extremely caring and charismatic lecturer for 3510. He makes sure everyone is on the same page, taking frequent question breaks during lecture that help regulate the pace. Always available to help in his office, even late at night.

The other rmp reviews are hilarious, you will get violated, and go to hell and back from his 3510. Its a lot harder than every other section, but he is an amazing lecturer and the TA's provide amazing plus sections. By doing Ladha's class you will know how to pass an interview, his course is practical and seriously useful.

He is one of the most passionate professors that I have had at GeorgiaTech. He was enthusiastic about the content and built an environment conducive to learning. He clearly conveyed why the concepts matters despite the abstract nature of the topics taught (this is quite a miracle, I hope to have more professors like him)

He clearly loves the content and can teach very well. However, the tests are biased heavily to people who are either very smart and can come up with creative solutions or have seen extremely similar problems before from their leetcode journey. If you have one or the other of those traits, you should be fine.

Professor Ladha is very passionate about the content he teaches. He is very clear and articulate when presenting his lectures and is very accessible outside of class for questions.

For 2050, he likes to yap. In general, a pretty helpful guy.

For the first few weeks I attended lecture, however most of his lecture content was more theoretical. I skipped class and started watching videos from Ronnie, which was somewhat helpful. if you have a strong math education before college, this class should be light. If you are like me, you need to put in a little extra effort.

Hearing about the other teachers, Ladha seems like the hardest one. His tests were very conceptual and each had an extra credit problem. Also released a bunch of leetcode type questions where if you were top of the leaderboards, you got bonus points added to your overall grade.

He is a nice professor. Our class didn't even have to by the Zybook because he thought it was unnecessary and too expensive. CS2050 is a very easy class, and I feel like Ladha would be a better professor for harder classes.

This class is fantastic to reinforce/fill any gaps if you have already started leetcode/ competitive programming. If not, I suggest waiting another semester before taking.

He is gonna make u think you are about to get a B in the class the entire semester. And then right at the end he fixes it. Trust the process. I didn't believe him at first either. But trust. He's got u.

Ladha is one of the best professors ever. He was extremely passionate, gave very clear lectures, and was dedicated to helping students on Piazza. He's also hilarious. If he is ever a 4510 professor again, please take him.

If you practice study guides and rewatch his recorded lectures carefully, you should be fine for the tests. Professor Ladha also gave a lot of extra credits near the end of semester, and he was even willing to curve the final average via CIOS. He is also very reachable through email or office hours.

3510 can have some tough topics and Ladha does a pretty good job of articulating the algorithms. He gives a good amount of extra credit but this class is still a grind.

I loved this class and Ladha is a great professor. The content is difficult but he is generous in grading. He's also really good at explaining concepts. The best part is he records everything on YouTube, so you can go back and watch lectures you missed or didn't understand. 10/10 class.

This class was outstanding, thanks to Professor Ladha's incredible teaching. Despite the challenging content, his generosity in grading and crystal-clear explanations made it manageable. Truly an amazing and inspirational professor!

The lectures are based on getting practical experience with more complex examples of the topics you fill face in your homeworks. Ladha doesn't simply teach for you to pass an exam/do HW, which I like a lot. Very good at answering questions during the lectures. Very good at explaining. Greatest prof so far at Tech, would definitely recommend.

I took Ladha for both 2050 and 3510. I really like his teaching style though I know it is not for everyone. He just lectures and writes on the board and then leaves lots of time for questions. His 2050 and 3510 were probably more difficult then the other sections but is very approachable and one exam is dropped in both classes.

I think he's a amazing lecturer, and he always writes elegant proofs. However, he goes very fast, so be prepared to learn a lot in short time. Overall, the class is pretty good and I learned a lot.

Ladha is extremely smart and knowledgable. I hear "what--is going on?" about five times a day from the collective class of students. I was never able to catch up on what he was lecturing about until I got to the HW and was finally able to understand. Exam 3 was EXTREMELY hard and is what killed my grade. Probably getting a C unless final is easier.

Ladha is tough. Had a few tests where our class specifically had a little extra material to cover. But he taught comprehensively and if you want to learn and are willing to put in the work for it, you wont have a choice but to. Tough but very forgiving if you mess up or have concerns about the class. Was late to 2 tests and he let me in to test. A+

was clear on what it took to succeed in the class, tough content but ladha is funny and was even willing to do office hours right before the final. goat

A lot of these reviews are incredibly very overblown. Ladha is very fair; he doesn't require you to attend lectures (even though i'd advise so). He also publishes the entirety of his lecture notes, so if you read those you are guaranteed to do pretty well. His HW questions are sometimes hard, but again it's definitely doable using your notes.

Lecture could be a little bit fast but it can be very entertaining if you focus. most of the grade is dependent on 4 test and the test itself aren't too bad. The most test review are ok, but some are very bad but i think it more of a TA/logistic problem. Overall solid prof to learn from

Time consuming hw, but the proofs on the hw and in the lectures are extremely similar to the ones on the exams so you will be well prepared. Ladha gets a lot of hate for structuring his class different from the other 2050s but it's really not that difficult. He's a fun and engaging prof who really wants to teach students as much as he can

He is extremely passionate about the subject matter and is clearly very smart, but his lectures often are difficult to follow if you aren't prepared. He is also super chill and very accessible - his office was open every time I was in the computing building. Exams were difficult, but doable. If you go to class and office hours, you'll be fine.

Overall, this class was tough but definitely fair. Ladha's lectures are good, and the additional lecture notes on canvas were very helpful for homeworks. Exams weren't easy, but there was at least 3% bonus to final grade by the end of the year. 3510 will be easier if you have a leetcode/competitive programming background, but I did fine without too

Algo is a mindset that you need to practice a lot over the semester in order to get into it. Ladha does a good job lecturing, but his lectures are not for everyone. He also really cares about the students. Only main issue I had with the class is partial credit was few and far between which lowered all my exams a lot--but that is mainly a TA issue.

He's a funny guy, and teaches pretty well. Lectures are optional, but they're really good for learning the content. I would say this class will teach you algos really well if you go to lecture esp from a math point. Tests are difficult and easy to mess up, so you have to study a lot outside of class but Ladha is accessible. TA's are decent

Literally the greatest lecturer I've ever had. Tests were really hard though, even in comparison to other sections, but the questions were really engaging and fun to do. Everyone giving bad ratings got skill issued. Idek if I have an A but I'm manifesting for finals Edit: I did get an A

Ladha is inspirational even if you already knew about the topics beforehand. If you aren't strong in math (at least 5 Calc BC and the likes), expect to work harder. Exams requires more creativity than the other sections. Office hours are very helpful, and Ladha himself occasionally hosts in-person last minute recitations in the TA office hour room.

Ladha goes into more depth than the other professors, and his tests are slightly more challenging. His YouTube playlist of recorded lectures covers all of his lecture's content. His homeworks are difficult and time-consuming, but helpful in the end. He knows this subject very well, and is very willing to help and explain.

Very tough class imo, but Ladha is a cool guy who is generally pretty sane. I'd recommend taking another professor if you want an easier class, but Ladha ensures that you get a good conceptual understanding of the content which I can say that I got. I didn't like how he lectured as it was super abstract and not applicable to hw/exams.

GOAT. If you're at Tech to coast and non interested in learning he's not for you. If you want to grasp the most fundament algorithms with insane clarity then attend every single one of his lectures and annoy him in OHs with any questions, they're almost enlightening. Best prof at Tech imo. Plus content of this class helped me land a FAANG job.

Great guy and best class ive taken at Tech. Excited for 4510 w him.

The 3.3 is primarily because of 2050 reviews, I've heard thats not his priority plus he teaches quite advanced things that freshman cant handle. Best prof hands down for 3510, you're doing yourself a disservice not taking him. I know its hard, but if you have to take a single hard class at Tech, this is it and probably the most worth it one too.

Great prof, teaches concepts well. Class isn't easy but it's pretty fun

Ladha is the goat, as long as you go to all the classes and do the homeworks, you will be fine in the class. He shows clear understanding of the subject, and is passionate about it. Test 3 was hard, and Test 4 was a little challenging, but the first two tests were pretty light. 100% reccommend.

Ladha is not a proffessor for the weak and disinterested. If you are interested in discrete math or CS theory, definately take him. This class is a great introduction to not only discrete math, but general proof writing, and Ladha will make sure you understand your fundamentals, even if tests can be a little bit hard than other professors.

This course may be a good indication for whether or not a student has an aptitude for computer science and should stay in the field. It is the first CS course that cannot be passed through memorization and regurgitation, and requires interest and ability to do well.

Best professor I've ever had at georgia tech. Lectures go really fast and cover a lot of content but are really fascinating. Be prepared to pay attention and ask a lot of questions during lecture though

Ladha and the 4510 course he led was definitely one of the greatest course I had at Tech. Lahda has the best lectures. The assignments are all amuzing and inspirational with carefully chosen materials. Grading aren't too harsh. It might take a bit of familiarity with proof and passion in math and theory to enjoy. But that's a fair ask.

Very passionate about the subject material and always made sure to explain thing in detail. I didn't have anything to compare him to but I have heard that his classes are harder than ones given by other profs.

Absolutely splendid. People say he doesn't care about your grade, but that cannot be further from the truth. If you don't want to learn, you will absolutely fail. But if you are willing to learn, to think, and interact with him, you will do good.

Honestly he's a pretty good lecturer. He's very knowledgeable and uses hard examples in class so that test/HW questions don't look like something we've never seen before. I definitely don't like the 84% tests as I got shafted by one and it made it impossible to get an A, but it happens. The problem isn't him, it's the TAs who make bad test review

In industry, there is no autograder or project that you can flounder on for days on end until you get it right. There is time pressure, and if you aren't precise under pressure, you are axed. Having a majority of your grade come from test is totally reasonable, get used to it here before it's too late.

Incredible lecturer and understands the course material extremely well. Posts all his lectures online and homeworks are pretty reasonable. Very exam heavy with 4 midterms and a final that replaces a midterm (if needed). Exams are difficult (basically 4-5 leetcode questions) but graded relatively leniantly.

GOAT! Super accessible in office hours and all his lectures are available online. In fact, the course should get more challenging.

He is honestly the best option you could take for this class. Hands down.

Brilliant teacher. Course is on the easier side, but it's been taught very thoroughly.

super passionate lecturer, great if you are genuinely curious about the class. not too hard either, if you go to lecture and actively participate. his textbook and lecture videos make it easy to make up class if you fall behind as well. overall very nice and understanding professor.

Great instructor. Hands down the best one for this class.

If there was not a grade associated with this class, it would without a doubt be my favorite class I've ever taken. Ladha is a great lecturer, and the subject matter is extremely fascinating. The tests are just so. Damn. Hard. And difficult to prepare for. Sometimes studying can feel futile and impossible, but it's fun at the same time. Duality.

You can definitely learn a lot from Ladha's class. It's true that people can get lost in the lectures without prior knowledge of the content. He is highly accessible. The course is test-heavy, you'll find some exam questions very similar to practice exams or homework, while the rest are of medium difficulty problems in Leetcode.

Ladha was appointed by Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) to serve and spread light unto the students of Georgia Tech. During every lecture, you will certainly feel a divine presence. O' Allah, lead the disbelievers to the truth and they will accept Ladha (PBUH) as their prophet.
