This professor is probably the best prof I've had in Ryerson since I've started. Although his assignments are a little tough, he's extremely well spoken and makes sure everybody understand concepts (at least enough) before proceeding in the class.

Debashish is probably the best professor at Ryerson simply because he cares for students and will make sure everyone understands. You can approach him for anything as he replys to emails quickly. Test are straight forward and no surprises he will explain concepts very well prior and give hints on what to expect. Great prof but Don't slack off.

Awesome Prof. The class wasn't easy but he is so helpful and is willing to work with you to understand. I took the class in the summer so it was difficult to come all the way downtown to meet with him to get extra help so he said he would skype with students who had difficulty. Great prof. Cares about students but you still have to put the work in.

Awesome Prof. Helps you a lot! Will take again!

Good guy, take the (ITM 820) course with him. He makes sure you understand the material. If you go to his lectures and take notes, you'll get a good grade!

This professor was great, he really cares about the students and gave us feedback on our midterms and often extended assignments and labs. He would always be willing to help out with tough material. The course is tough because everything is very fact based, so it's hard to study for the midterm and final.

This prof is by far the BEST and I mean BEST prof in Ryerson. He knows what he is talking about and is absolutely engaging in all his lectures. He is funny, smart, helpful, and understanding. He loves to teach and you will see that on the last day of your exam. I wish he taught all ITM courses. THE BEST PROF in Ryerson for ITM courses.

I just love this professor! He helps his students a lot. Probably the best in Ryerson. I would love to take courses again with him.

Awesome prof.

This prof is one of the best at Ryerson. He is passionate about teaching and helps his students a lot. He does his best to prepare you for exams. I will take more courses with him.

AMAZING PROF! just attend his lectures and follow his lead!

Debashish is a great professor! He knows what he's talking about and he's willing to answer any questions. Take advantage of his labs (if applicable) because that's the best time to ask him about any homework, project, etc.

This guy is so laid back. His lectures are not clear but if you have any questions, he clears them up. He gives you reviews for the exams so its easy and straight-forward (no textbook needed!!) There's a lot of memorizing but thats with any prof for this course. Super chill guy and he doesnt care about attendance. Very understanding too!

Probably one of the best professors i have come across at Ryerson. He teaches the material the simple way and does not confuse the students with alternate methods etc. He is an easy marker, if you do the work right and have shown effort, he will give you a good grade. Exams significantly reflect the assignments/content assigned in class. The BEST!!

Mr. Roy knows what he is talking about. He is the best prof. I have ever met. He will help you a lot. To clear your confusion he will describe things with lots of examples. And again he is smart and lively!

The best professor I have ever had personally and one of the best or if not the best ITM professors Ryerson has to offer. Great professor who has clear grading criteria and helps his students understand all course material. Made networking really fun and even a career option for me. Just show up to his lectures theyre amazing. HES A BEAST! Take him

He really enjoys when students put in the effort and asks him question. Looking forward to taking ITM 500 with him, he is one of the profs at Ryerson who actually cares for students! He is a great prof!

Lectures may be boring, but he is a very nice, approachable, and understanding guy. Homework and project r always due at 4 am. Helps a lot, and answer emails quickly.

AMAZING PROF. But the course is hard.

best prof ever !!

decent prof. but very risky course

Amazing prof! Shows each and every step on the whiteboard. But the course is basically on logic building so you need to practice a lot! Take him and your life will be easy.

His midterm was fair. Final was really hard!

Awesome prof! I would certainly take him again.

This professor is really nice. He describes everything so easily and he will not start a new topic until everyone understands it. But this course is totally based on logic and so you need to do a lots of practice to do good in the course.

The prof is amazing. He helps you a lot and in the lab you will show you all the steps to solve a problem. To do good in this course you need to practice a lot. The prof is also available outside of the class to help you. Take him and your life will be easy.

One of the best profs in Ryerson. Take him and you will be fine. He even provides feedback on the project work before you submit them.

This prof. is awesome. I like the reviews before the midterm and final. Those reviews give you a nice direction.

This professor is by far the best prof in my student life. The best part of his teaching is he always gives you nice feedback.

This professor really cares about his student. You can setup a Skype meeting also. Different features of networking are described so nicely. He is one of the best profs in Ryerson.

He is my first professor who is so caring about his students. You can ask him any question and he will describe it with lots of examples. He is sooo goooooooooood!!

Very nice professor. Everything he covers in the lectures, are also in the exam. If you take a course with him do not miss any of his lectures. I was present in each and every lecture. My grade will be either A/A+.

For first year BTM students - ITM100 Awesome prof! Lectures are mainly from the textbook but summarized very well. Didnt need the textbook at all. Midterm was very easy but the final was pretty hard A lot of it is common sense if you know a little bit about tech Sitting up close would be better because of his accent

I would say I have started my University study with the best. The prof is the best. This course is taught by many different teachers but our class always had the highest average and it was because of Mr. Roy. He is very nice and easily approachable. The best part is he always smiles.

He is a really hardworking prof. He even stays with his students in the Lab till 10.30 PM. He does not leave the classroom or lab until all your doubts are clear. In the last few lectures although he was sick but he did not miss a lecture and also he did not leave early. Anytime I get a chance to take a course I will take him. You are awesome ROY!!

CHOOSE HIM!!! He's a great prof even though material is dry and you have to teach yourself. He makes it easier and he replies to emails super quick if you have any questions/concerns

The professor helps you a lot. He is also available outside the class. In the class he describes everything really well. I will certainly take him again.

He is a great prof. Although he says you need the book for the exam but I just focused on his lectures and I did very well. He is also really friendly and one more thing I have to say: He replies emails so fast. I got reply even at 4.30 am in the morning.

Prof Roy makes the content of the course really understandable. The reviews before the midterm and final exams are really helpful. I will certainly take him again.

Amazing Prof. and he guides you properly. Exam covers whatever he teaches in class. His reviews are really good.

Prof. Roy is one of those professors who works for his students a lot. He is easily approachable and very understanding. Choose him!!

BEST PROF EVER HE IS REALLY NICE. HE IS SUPEER CARINGG. MAKE SURE YOU GO TO OFFICE HOURS HE WILL GET TO KNOW YOU. BEST CHOICE

This man is hands down the greatest prof for ITM100. His lectures to be completely honest his accent is difficult to understand but he is the nicest and most hardworking prof out there. He will help you out and explain and if you email him even at 1AM he will answer. PowerPoint only for exams/midterm, attend all excel labs and you're solid.

He helped me so much for ITM100 and now it is time for ITM207. Roy is a great prof!!

It is a dry course but Prof. Roy made it interesting. If I get a chance in future I will certainly take him again.

Very easy going professor. Exams were easy. I will definitely recommend him.

His lectures are amazing and if you are in the lectures you will certainly get a very good grade. I will certainly take him again.

I have learned the fundamentals of programming from him. He explains so well. A great professor!!

I had him for ITM500, he is awesome for ITM407 also. If I get a chance I will take Roy again. He is so nice with his students. He also helps you a lot in class as well as outside the class.

Prof. Roy is the best in Ryerson. He teaches really good and he is also available in the lab time. I would certainly take him again

Teaches programming really well. He postes lots of practice questions and in class tutorials helped a lot. I would certainly take him again

Awesome professor. Teaches database queries really great. With his help I am also well prepared for my first certification exam for database system. He is a really nice and talented person. Ryerson needs more profs like him.

The best ever prof for my lifetime. He offers quality teaching. The labs are conducted by himself so you can ask question directly to him rather than to a TA

Prof. Roy works hard for the students. He applies a step by step approach to clear any doubts about database queries. If possible take him.

He is a great professor. I guess he is the only prof. Who writes queries in the board and explains them step by step. I highly recommend him.

Prof Roy is a good prof, super helpful. Went to one class and finished with a decent mark.

Best prof imo. helps all students understand n if they dont he will reteach it.

sick prof, really easy, super jacked, #1 itm prof BTM PRogram, worlwide.

Gets back to you as soon as possible

This professor is awesome. He is super fast in responding your emails and publishes the results real quick. He prepares the class for the exams really well. The sample questions are really helpful. His delivery style is amazing as well!!

He is a nice person. He tries his best so that you understand the topic. He is also available outside the class. So if you have any doubts you can meet him to clarify.

Good prof. The first test is very easy, but don't let that fool you keep going to class as the second test and exam are more challenging.

great prof

I had professor Roy for ITM 107 and all I can say is, he is a nice and helpful person. You could go to him for extra help after class or during his office hours. He does tell which questions you will get in the test + exam. Beware first test was EASY (hs math review) and second test was tough, especially Linear Programming! Overall a great prof!!

Pof Roy has been very caring throughout the semester. He was ready to help whenever asked. Even though attendance is not mandatory but you would not miss his lectures as there are some materials that needs lecturing. great prof overall.

Great prof, very understanding and flexible, wants to help you learn and replies to emails very quickly

Study off the review questions he gives you for midterm and final and you'll easily get an 80%. Make sure you know vignere and playfair cipher inside out and how to solve it if the word has "JJ".

The man is the Goat, hands down the best prof you can get for this class and one of the best profs at Ryerson in general. The man is a legend.

best prof. i had all year

amazing prof. teaches very well & is willing to give extra help. For ITM 107 you still need to understand and practice and attending lectures will help you a lot. Weekly assignments are easy and you get marks just for completing it, he doesn't check if the answers are correct, but he'll post it. Great Prof!

Pretty good prof, his lectures aren't drawn out and he gives good test/exam breakdowns. Tells jokes sometimes during the longer lectures.

Just print out his slides and study the review slides he posts for midterm/ final. No need to buy the textbook. Follow the review and you'll easily get an A, theres not tricks he tells you exactly what to study.

one of the best profs at ryerson. really easy tests, and the homework bumps you up a lot as he just gives a completion mark. highly recommended

He's a really good prof and also very caring! Just do the test/exam reviews and mostly everything that shows up there wouldn't be a surprise. Assignment are a big booster so just do them. Hopefully I would have him again!

All I can say he Excellent

Best professor I've ever had in my life

Probably one if not the only nicest profs at Ryerson! 10/10 recommend.

Hilarious but very accommodating and skilled. Replies emails real fast. Awesome

He's pretty awesome. Marks fairly and is willing to help out students as much as he can. Extremely nice but also knows his stuff. Lectures aren't mandatory but I found them really helpful. Highly suggest you take his class. Better than most IT profs.

He guides the whole class really well. If you want to achieve a good grade then attend his lectures. He also prepares the class for the exam. I highly recommend him.

He is one of the best ITM professors available. He makes you understand the content and gives a lot of good feedback. He's super chill if you go in his office hours. Overall, take this prof if you have a chance.

Awesome and energetic professor. If you seek help he will always help you. Highly recommended.

This guy is the best ! Always willing to help and be there for students . Absolutely amazing

He works so hard for the students and super fast in marking. Got back the midterm grade within 2.5 hrs. He helps the students a lot.

Professor Roy is a very good prof. No matter what concept you are learning, he will try his hardest to make sure you understand it. For someone who is doing his PHD and teaching full time, he is the most caring professor i have ever had so far (3rd year btw). One thing is certain, YOU need to put effort in asking him for help. fast emails too!

Really good prof! Really enjoyed taking his class. takes time to help you understand concepts better. Labs are mandatory but they help when u dont understand the material

Professor Roy is easily one of the best professors at Ryerson. Genuinely cares about you if he sees that you do your work. Put in effort and he'll recognize that.

Awesome professor!! Helps the students a lot. If you dont understand anything he will describe again and again. I highly recommend him.

He is a nice professor and also available to help. If you are present in the class it is really helpful.

Excellent Professor! Really cares about his students and takes every opportunity to help them succeed. Focuses on the big picture rather than the silly nitty gritty. Easy marker, open to suggestions and overall nice person.

He was an amazing prof. Really interesting and fun to talk to. He really cares about his students and is always will to help when asked.

Roy's a real gem. He sympathizes with his students since he is one too completing his Masters etc. His lectures are short & sweet, go to class and he'll likely tell you how to do the labs, assignments and tell you what kind of exam questions to study for. He was the only proff that came clutch when it came to adjusting deadlines for assignments.

roy was an amazing prof and he truly cares about his students. Do not hesitate to take him!!

Debashish is one of the best ITM profs at Ryerson. He is a little content heavy at times, but if you do your due diligence of studying and staying on track during lectures, you'll always do well in his class. He's a solid one.

He's an amazing guy when you get to know him. He cares about you and is willing to help you however you need. One of the best ITM profs that I know of!

- You don't need a textbook; ppts are enough - Midterm is really easy- try getting %85+ - Labs are free %10 - Exam is hard, however he gave bonus marks - Overall, read the ppts, do the labs yourself, don't fall behind and you should be fine.

He's an alright prof. Slides are usually enough but if you want more info you gotta read the textbook. what throws me off sometimes his accent. If you ask him for answers he usually gives you them

Very good prof, had him for ITM107 in first year also he is really smart and kind, definitely recommend taking any ITM courses with him.

Really nice guy final exam went really good

Its been a pleasure to be in his class. He is understanding and goes out of his way to help his students. Lectures are helpful to the assignments he assigns in class. Midterm was difficult but if studied correctly high mark can be achieved in his class.

He is an awesome professor and uploads a lots of help for Raptor. If you don't understand anything then you can schedule an appointment through Zoom and he will try his best to clear your confusion. All in all an awesome caring prof.

Straightforward content. Don't need to go to lectures.

Very interesting prof, kept the class engaged for most of the time. He has a very good sense of humour and is very accessible outside of class he answers his emails very swiftly. If you are taking ITM-102 I'd 100% recommend taking professor Debashish Roy.

Very knowledgeable and gives fair assessments

I had the textbook but didn't really use it since his slides were enough. His final and midterm were all multiple choice and straightforward. He'll give example questions during the lecture which makes understanding the content a lot better. He's also really nice when it comes to asking questions, especially about the group project

He is a great prof. My favorite ITM prof so far. The midterm and final are reasonable and 100% MC. Make sure you go over the slides to ensure you know your content before going into the exam.

i had him for ITM 102 and he was the best prof i think i'll ever have. please take his class if you have the opportunity to, especially if it is online. 10% of the course was just attending lectures and the case study's and quizzes are so easily marked. you don't even have to pay attention as long as you have the right format you're golden.

If you have the chance to take Debashish as your ITM prof- take it!! He's a really understanding prof and the class is really easy! My advice is to actually go to class and the labs because he does weekly quizzes and gives participation marks (for ITM102 at least) but other than that, easiest class I had this semester by far.

Prof Roy is really nice and the content for this course is not too crazy. His lectures are relatively engaging but he gives easy participation marks. The labs and the quizzes are also easy, his TA is nice and explains the labs nicely. Group project is also easy but the exam was harder than I expected.

He's a real gem! You get participation marks if you show up to class so make sure to do so. Easy marker on the group project and case studies. Better than all the other ITM profs!

Explains the concept very clearly and is very understanding. He genuinely cares for his students

Great professor. If I could give him a 6/5 I would. For the project, use him as a resource and check the work you have done. He will give constructive feedback and you will do well. The midterm and final are very fair. You just need to make strong notes and you are set. You do not need the textbook. His slides are more than enough, don't waste $$

Dont listen to first years complaining about itm 207 (that course itself sucks) but for itm 706 this guy was a very good prof. Recommend taking him, if you want a good grade.. Hope this review helps..

Debashish is an awesome professor. He describes the concept nicely and shows the tracing of Raptor charts using lots of examples. The course is challenging, so you have to give time to do good in this course. But, professor Roy is really caring.

If you don't want to waste your money you should take professor Roy for whatever course he teaches. He is the most understanding professor I have ever had in Ryerson. He is the best.

Professor Roy describes the complex problem really easily. He tries his best to make things clear for the students. I will certainly recommend him.

It was an easy A+. Just be regular in everything and submit the assignments/discussion before the deadlines. This course is a very good preparatory course for the CCNA exam and the professor gives a very detailed feedback on the assignments. I will certainly take him again!

The professor describes the concept very nicely. If you are present in the lecture then you will be doing really good in this course. Again, to do good you need to practice programming! I will definitely recommend prof. Roy.

Sick professor, teaches in a fun engaging manner! Everyone genuinely enjoys the lecture and thoroughly understands the content end of course!

Took him first year and his teaching and course were both easy to understand. Honestly, he tells you what to study and how to succeed in his class tests are not difficult and he's also quite a funny and open guy.

Amazing dude very kind and helpful the course itself is boring but what can you do not his fault.

He is a great professor. You have to attend class since lectures aren't recorded and his slides aren't complete and left empty on purpose. He is usually great at providing help right after class and during the week. He just has a rule he won't help 48 hours prior to a due date. His sample midterm and final mirror what the midterm and final will be.

Awesome professor! Provides a detailed feedback and quality lectures. I will certainly take him again.

The best in Ryerson. I will definitely take him again. Just attend all his lectures and you will be fine.

Dr. Roy is the best prof at Ryerson. His lectures are engaging, he answers questions nicely, and he gives very good feedback on assignments. This is the third course I've had with him and it was always a great experience He's very knowledgeable about programming and networking, and even gives good career/academic advice related to your interests.

Prof. Roy is definitely one of the best ITM professors. He does a great job with carrying out his lectures in a way that you gain a lot of knowledge while making them as interesting as possible. Responds to emails extremely quick as well. He does a good job of preparing everyone for exams and assignments are very straight forward.

To do well in CITM 706, I recommend that you get feedback on your labs & assignments before submission. Professor Roy is willing to help! The group project was graded leniently. The midterm & final exam was easy, study from the Modules. Textbook not required. An easy A if you put in a lot of effort.

A great professor. He provides a very detail feedback for the assignments and also available for office hours. I studied regularly and ended the course with an A.

Debashish Roy was an amazing professor all of the test material was straight from the slides and not trick questions. highly recommend that you take him for ITM 102 for a great mark and a enjoyable time.

Good prof, tests are kinda differ from course material but overall one of the best profs. Makes sure students get the concepts and knows his stuff

Lectures are just read off the slides but it covers everything that you need to know on the test. If you stay for the tutorial he will give you the answers if you ask ( Basically free 10%). Nice prof, class isn't mandatory to do well. Easy to approach, nice guy.

Best Itm107 prof! we didn't have to pay for web assign or a textbook. Lectures aren't mandatory, but tutorials are great to attend because he really helps you to understand even if you're having trouble. He gives you a free 10% for attempting the homework. 2nd test was slightly hard , but the first test, tutorial and exam makes up for it.

good professor

- decent at teaching, gives multiple examples - weekly completion marks for practice questions (will get marks even if wrong) - always answer questions to make sure u understand - gives practice tests very similar to tests and exams

THE GOATTTT. Assigns only a couple of questions from the textbook for homework. If you need help he is willing to help you out during tutorials. Makes lectures interesting as possible and is ready to answer your questions with examples. Def recommend as this course is highschool review and this prof makes it enjoyable.

He is the goat. He provides very detailed feedback for the homework and assignments. Exams are also straight from the slides.

The final exam was easy. Just be in class. He will prepare you well for the exams.

It was an awesome course. Before you submit the assignments, email him for feedback. Just one thing, he does not like it if you ask him questions on the due date. I would certainly take him again.

Hes a really nice prof he cares about his students, but ONLY if you respect him by showing up to his class and showing you want to learn. He is a tough grader but only because he prepares you for what he expects in his final exam diagrams. He also tells you his MC is from his slides He should teach itm200 better than derbal, easy A if you listen

Roy is the goat for all ITM classes. If you ever see him teaching an ITM class its a no-brainer to enroll in it. He is knowledgeable and marks very fairly in all the ITM classes he teaches. He was my favourite prof that taught ITM in my undergrad! Make sure you attend class and the labs as he tends to provide helpful tips for assignments and exams!

Took him before, he does mark hard on assignments but he gives you feedback which tells you what to expect for midterm and finals. honestly the midterm was really easy it was majority of routing, class routes, and final exam was very similar. Ask him for feedback on assignments he will help you and basically get you a 100. lecture heavy but easy.

king of bengal

He is a really empathetic prof, very enjoyable class

get ready for such a chill prof, literally just do the labs and the work and you're chilling. easy marker, just seriously do your work and you're looking at a GPA booster. I had a pretty bad TA so I skipped some labs which I wish I didn't but she did not know what she was doing. Other than that, you got this!!!

He is so kind & caring and wants to see you succeed. He's very approachable if you're struggling or require more explanation on the content he's teaching. The class itself is kind of hard as someone who didn't take supporting classes in hs (10 yrs ago) to even have a clue what was going on. I would take him for every single BTM class if I could.

Awesome professor. Replies emails so fast and available for office hours. I highly recommend him.

The professor is awesome. The course itself is complex, but Professor Roy described the algorithms with lots of patience and enthusiasm. I would definitely take him again.

The professor presents the materials in a friendly manner. He helps a lot with the projects and assignments. He provides feedback before you submit it to the dropbox. If you are present in his class, you will certainly get a very good grade.

Awesome professor, probably the best I had in my TMU life.

Professor is incredibly kind and approachable. Lectures can be challenging, but tutorial sessions are super helpful. Using Unstuck study alongside the free course materials was a game-changer for me. Would take this prof again in a heartbeat!

If you need to take 301, take it with Roy! Trust me, you will regret not taking him. He's very kind, tests very fairly, and his slides are good to learn off of.

Amazing professor, super lenient and considerate especially when you talk to him 1-on-1. His lectures are very engaging and he draws many good examples so you can understand the content. I recommend getting to know him by introducing yourself and chatting with him for a few minutes after every lecture! Super sweet & nice person to talk to!

Good teacher, think accent, and easy homework with feedback given

I was enrolled in CITM618 and ITM820 with Professor Roy he was always respectful, and understanding. His lectures were genuinely enjoyable to attend. He's a fair grader, and he's always approachable if you have any questions or need help. From my experience, if you attend his classes, and actually try solving the assignments, and you'll do well.

All the assignments were done simply by following the instructions. I could literally finish every single one in less than an hour if i sat there and just focused. 100% on every assignment and even on the group project as well. The tests will be difficult IF you do not lock in and pay attention and don't ask question or know the material, expected!
