Very good teacher. He has an accent, but he's very good. He knows his stuff and he's more than willing to answer any questions in class until you understand it. If you want night programing, take him.

I've only been to class twice, but he said that we won't have to come to lab if we don't need to, so that makes him good in my book...

Helpful. Good instructor. Misunderstood. Students who got bad grades gave bad feedback. But he know the materials and very helpful...!!

Instructor returns homework in a timely fashion. Instructor is willing to spend time outside of class to assist when the student doesn't understand. Instructor goes out of his way to ensure understanding prior to exams.

Kumi's accent was the only thing hard, other than that, he knows his stuff and is helpful when you need it. Touched on harder to understand things out of your reading, cause you should read. The others that said he was hard, probably were slackers anyways. Quit bringing my teacher down slackers.

Easy if you did well in the pre-reqs. Doesn't require lab atendance, if you do all the homework on time, and do well on the tests you will be fine. He does have a heavy accent so that might be an obstacle for some. Overall highly recomended.

Once you get used to the accent he's not so difficult to understand. He's very helpful if you ask questions but can be patronizing...best to pay attention during class. Would NOT skip his class! Very easy to get behind.

The best CS prof I've ever had. It's a huge shame he wasn't available to teach any of my higher level courses b/c I got some really bad profs. Didn't find accent a problem. Seriously, if you have any capacity to understand a non-standard-American-English accent, take this professor!

Kumi's accent and english are fine. The problem is his teaching. I had a very hard time understanding the context of what he was talking about, forest for the trees stuff. When I asked for help he told me to go to the tutor. Thanks. Half the class had dropped the class. Rio Grande tutor Joshua Scott is awesome though.

Going into this course you should make sure you have some knowledge into it, it is not an easy course and takes practice, trial and error. Study homework assignments and programs for the exams, even though you will have to write out programs on paper. Study hard, do your homework and programs and you may do okay. His accent isn't too bad either.

He's got quite an accent but as long as you go to class, do all the homework and programs he assigns, you'll pass with flying colors. For tests, he has multiple choice and handwritten programming sections. Just study and you should be fine! He gives one bonus program at the end of the semester. I feel prepared for the next class.

Great class and have weekly assignments , It gets crazy if you do not keep up. Professor will reply when emailed . Test are not hard but can be if you did not read the material.

Great professor. Very understanding and patient.

I have taken around 4 classes under his guidance, both online and in class. He is very calm and full of knowledge. He knows a lot. He will give homework and in exams all the MCQ will be from that only. Programs are good and it needs time and understanding. He discusses every lab in class before giving and also helps if one gets stuck. Recommend!

Kumi was consistently concerned with his students understanding the fundimental pricipals of writing software. His lectures catered to the class, moving quickly over topics we understood, and spending extra time where it mattered. Would highly reccommend for someone taking their first software language.

He has an accent which is sometimes difficult to understand however he tries his best to communicate clearly with his students. He is very approachable that if you have questions with specific topics and lab assignment, he is very willing to help you. He teaching style and exams are half theory and coding so you have to study.

His teaching style is based on industry standard not purely on the theory/book. He clearly explains the coding examples with various scenario. His lab assignment and homework are not difficult, you just have to read the book. Exams are based on the book.

His lectures are well organized and wants students to participate in order to check if the students understands the lecture. He has code examples that he explains in connection to the topic. You need to vocal if you don't understand the topic otherwise he will assume that you understand it.

Taken several of his classes. They're hard and you'll work a lot, but it's all job-relevant and no harder than the real world. You'll learn a lot, too. Has recent industry experience, is up to date with the languages, has funny stories. Can be lenient on due dates and test questions often come from homework/book, so getting an A is totally doable.

I took him for Beginning Web Programming, and it was a challenging class. He is a good professor, just make sure you have some programming experience before you take him.

Professor Kumi is really good! He is accessible in office hours and wants you to understand everything. Make sure you read and stay on top of homework assignments. I def recommend this professor!

Great professor! Make sure you study OUTSIDE of class and ask questions in class or office hours.

I def recommend taking his class. He is well experienced and he tries to prepare you for the real world. Make sure you know the deadlines of all the assignments. Pay attention, you will def pass. Lectures are not so boring. Tests are self-explanatory but heavy on writing programs. I recommend you to DO the BONUS at the end, it's very helpful.

He gives many opportunity for students to ask questions. Goes through many example programs which is a lot more helpful than using power-point slides. The lecture are extremely boring due to the lack of emotion and enthusiasm he displays. Extremely strict on grading criteria and formatting. Overall a great professor that knows the material well.

Great teacher. On tests, basically one very difficult task, and the rest are normal. In the summer semester, he replaced the lowest test with the highest, which helped the final grade.

His accent can be a little hard to understand at times, but the lectures go over everything that is needed, and the powerpoints are a condensed and easy to understand version of the book. Class was during the pandemic, so tests were open-book, so they might not be as easy under normal circumstances.

I attended Professor Kumi's class my second time around. He is a much better instructor than the other instructors at ACC in web programming because he actually cares about his students. The other instructor is arrogant and has videos that suck. Take professor Kumi, trust me you will have a much better learning experience.

The best programming professor at ACC, hands down.

I learned more from Professor Kumi than any class I have taken in computer science at ACC. He is respected and treats his students fair. I highly recommend taking his class.

He knows everything about Oracle PL/SQL. He is a classic, old-school professor who will make you work hard for your grade but you'll come out of the class learning more from him than from anyone else. Quizzes and assignments are simple enough, exams VERY difficult. Stay on top of it it and you'll do just fine, but you CANNOT skip or fall behind.

HWs are based on the readings. Labs have the same format as the textbook examples. Exams can be a bit tough, if you dont study, since you get 2 hours. Hes not a tough grader. Hell give you partial points as long as you understand the basic concepts. Do not hesitate to ask for help for the Hw or labs during class. Hes here to help us out.

Wealth of professional and academic experience in software engineering. Best introduction course to Java, very strict on definitions and terminology. Emphasizes good programming design and practices and frequently references professional work environments and expectations. If you really want to learn Java and are driven, he's it.

He's not perfect for sure, but his classes are clearly structured, and most of the material related to quizzes and labs is easily found in the assigned readings. Some people have issues with communication, but he has always responded promptly to me. His tests can be a bit stressful with several coding questions that are heavily weighted and timed.

Asynchronous classes are a toss up in regards to quality of material and your personal ability to retain information throughout the semester. I regret taking this class online. In comparison to another instructor who teaches this course, Kumi is far better organized. Feedback is few and far between. 89.7 and didn't round me up. Fair play.

Kumi will give it to you straight; he is old school and no-nonsense. You will be ground down to your limits over the semester, but you will learn. His expectations for BAS students are very, very high. Attend the lectures or he will drop you from the class without remorse. Two tests make up 50% of grades, so its unforgiving if you don't test well.

This professor just knows how to complain about other professor. He thinks he is the only one pro in computer science . Not effective lecture. not helpful.

Accent is not a problem, but he is soft-spoken. Harder than other CSIT professors at ACC, but in a good way. I agree that he leans too much into the 'industry expectations' at times, however. Programming questions on tests can be difficult; they test your understanding of key concepts in unanticipated ways. Best professor to prepare for BAS.

Professor Kumi is by no means an easy professor. That being said, I learned more from his classes than any other classes in my degree plan. There are a lot of people complaining on here about him but I needed his no bs attitude to help me put in the effort to become a better student and programmer. He was always helpful to me when I needed help.
