Professor Maryash is a very nice guy. Attendance was not mandatory in regards to it counting towards your grade but he did have a quiz about every week (very simple, a couple of multiple choice questions) and you have to be there for that. It also helps if you attend every class session so that you don't have to study from the TXbook. RECOMMENDED!!

EASY A!!!!! 2 PROJECTS THAT ARE PASS OR FAIL! THE ONLY TEST IS THE FINAL!YOU HAVE 5 EXCUSED ABSENCES! NO HOMEWORK! READ THE SLIDES AND YOU'LL GET AN A ON THE FINAL!

Not exactly the biggest fan of just having 1 final (30%), but it was mainly common sense questions. There were two easy assignments (pass/fail 60%), attendance was mandatory (10%), and 16 weeks of monotonous torture (i.e. what is a fax machine?) Only take this if you have patience and want an A to raise your GPA.

easiest A I've ever gotten.

Easy professor, good science requirement.

This class is not what I expected. First of all, it is NOT in a computer lab. It's in a regular classroom. Professor Maryash doesn't even use the computer in the classroom. He reads everything off of his phone. Doesn't write notes, but draws pictures. Besides that, the class IS easy because it's all common sense, but it is really boring.

The class is given in lecture format. The professor clearly knows his stuff but he does read from his phone as previously stated. Its an intro class that most ppl are taking to fulfill a requirement. Not a difficult class. He's very laid back. 2 pass or fail projects. Multiple choice midterm and final.

Professor Maryash is really cool and laid back guy. He teaches from power points and helps you if you ask questions. Attendance isn't mandatory. If you study the power points youll be fine. 2 Tests 1 easy project. Easy class. P.S he is really handsome. I'm a guy and can honestly say he is attractive

Took him for CMPSCI HYBRID class and it was EASY. The syllabus was very clear on what he expected. You could have literally never seen him again after the first day since it's an online course. He emails fairly promptly and he is flexible with office hours. He's real chill, calm, and he is there for you when he see's your having trouble.

Took the online hybrid course. Very easy going professor with a clear syllabus on how to get an A. If you keep up with your work, you could finish the semester in 3 months. If you fall behind, he'd allow you to meet with him when he's available. His self-made videos are very clear; they are exactly what will be on the quiz.

I think the introductory CSCI127 class was fair. Overall, the material is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. You really need to take your time to study and practice the concepts. Don't worry too much on specific syntax, but instead on concepts and the logic behind what is happening. The lectures were okay, I have no complaints.

I think he did a very good job in 127. There is nothing taught in this class that is too difficult for a beginner in computer science. Put in the effort and practice at home, and you will get an A. I took this class in the summer (6-week course), and everything was very fair. Maryash is very fair, and does the best he can. Give him a chance.

Everything he does in class can be covered on your own if you read enough. The only things you will miss during lecture are the quizzes. If you participate and he knows who you are, he will likely be more lenient with your grade. Take advantage of the tutoring hours. I would take him again.

Super underrated professor. His exams are easy since he gives practice ones which reflect what's going to be covered a few days before the exam. There were a few projects for this course, some of which were super demanding. Someone asked him for an extension on the day on which the project was due and he literally gave us another few days to finish

gennadi was generally a good professor. he was clear in the lectures and whenever i needed a question answered he was very reliable especially during office hours. whenever i felt discouraged, i would speak to him and he would encourage me to not give up. lots of labs, few hw's, tests are easy if you study the required material and understand it.

I liked the fact that his lecture is based on the textbook. Slides were organized. The textbook used is very clear and simple to read. Perhaps one of the easiest and user friendly programming book I came across. His pop quizzes helps me realize the details in the materials I thought I knew well. The final project was fun.

He is a really good person and good professor who actually cares about his students!

Professor Maryash is the nicest professor you'll ever take at Hunter College. He is very very fair with his exams as well. Just do the labs, homework and projects, and use the labs, practice exam and homework to study for the exam and you'll do fine in the class. 10/10 would recommend.

Very nice professor. He cares a lot about his students.

His lecture slides are really helpful, cause I practically slept through his lectures. I didn't need to read the book cause I skimmed through his lecture slides. Start your projects and lab work early, and REALLY STUDY for midterms and final. Practice old papers and you're good to go.

Material is pretty okay as in the slides are adequate in teaching you what you need to prepare for during exams, projects, homework, etc... However, while his lectures might sound dull to some people, he is pretty nice and accessible. Be prepared to learn how to teach yourself though..

Very flexible in terms of extensions and cares about students. Lectures are boring and you are expected to learn on your own (as are all csci classes in hunter), but compared to the other teachers in the dept., you are lucky to take him.

Great professor. Sometimes I felt things were moving a little too fast in the lectures, but doing the homework will ensure understanding. The grading system is quite lenient unlike most CS professors here, he's not trying to fail half of the class.

His lectures are quite boring and monotoned, but very informative. The HW is exactly the type of questions on tests/finals, but we never got feedback on them. He turned out to be quite nice when it came to grading. Made the tests somewhat easy, dropped the lowest grade, and curved them. Overall a solid choice, buy coffee before lectures :)

Best professor you will ever have if you are majoring in Computer Science. If you take your time doing all his homeworks, you will guarantee an A. His jokes are very fun, and loves talking about "donuts." Highly recommend.

No matter how monotone the lectures may be at times, pay attention and practice what you learn in class. Prof Maryash is actually a very understanding person and genuinely wants you to pass the course.

A very fair prof, as he wouldn't test you on topics that weren't covered like many others profs do. Other teachers would only do easy stuff in lectures and dodge the hard stuff (putting them on test and hw instead) cuz they are lazy. Goes over the hws thoroughly, which I thought was very nice. He offered a lot of extra creds too.

Professor Maryash is really a great professor out of all the professors I've had he actually cares about his student's passing. He gave many opportunities for us to pass more than any other cs professor this class is easy if you study and follow maryash's class notes. Tutoring was a live saver for me as well in this class I highly recommend it.

He is certainly one of the fairest professors in Hunter's CS department. He genuinely cares about his students and his expectations are quite clear. As for of teaching, hes not the best, not the worst. You may need to do a little self studying but if you pay attention to the course materials you will be fine. He is def a better prof now than before

Maryash is ok, he's better than most cs professors at hunter. His lectures are pretty boring but in depth, but youtube videos help. There's lots of homework but your grade mostly depends on exams. They aren't hard if you study, and the topics on the exams are ones he taught. It's clear he wants his students to pass.

He designs the course so that even the "average student" who works hard can succeed. Whatever he teaches on his lectures is on the HWs and exams. He also goes over HWs in class. All you need to do is review his lecture slides, the HWs and ask him or the TAs further questions and you are set for the exams.

Although he changed the syllabus a few times during semester, I appreciate the fact that he tried to talk it out with students and made sure we know the material for the exams.Just make sure you read lecture slides before hand and understand the material before you do the labs. Make sure you do all labs, projects, and study for exams 2 weeks in adv

Maryash is the best CS professor in Hunter. He is actually caring and wants his students to pass. Like many , all he does is read the slides but his curriculum and coursework is doable. He is very good with partial credit, I failed every-time Tong yi taught it, as soon as it changed to Maryash, I passed. Only drag is fail final you fail the course.

Best CS Professor in Hunter!! In a department full of uncaring professors he is the most caring and understanding one. Thanks to Professor Maryash I am completely done with all my cs electives. I absolutely recommend this professor!!

MARYASH THE GOAT

THE GOAT BEST CS PROFESSOR FROM ALL OF CUNY

Best CS 160 Professor, THE GOAT ALL THE WAY. He is funny and a very caring professor, he even spent three hours on reading day doing a review for the final exam for us. TAKE HIM

Ngl I barely paid attention to any of his lectures, but I would say he's still a good professor. The quizzes and exams were fair. The HW was in some ways harder than the actual exams for me, but they also helped me prepare for it. He also really wants the students to do well and it's obvious since he did a 3 hour review session for the final.

He's the best cs professor in hunter, he so generous with exam and grade, I wish he teaches every cs classes.if you have him your lucky and super easy A if do a little bit of study.

Professor Maryash has a dynamic style of teaching, which evoked some laughs from the crowd. He reads off his lectures. I'd suggest to ask questions during class to help you ground your understanding. Best professor ever!

One of the best professors ever!

Maryash is a great dude who wants you pass the class. CS160 is very logic heavy, so the slides and the homework are essential to passing. His tests are often rehashes of his hw questions and slide questions. He sometimes gives quizzes. Take them seriously. Really nice guy.

Love Maryash. Take him!!! One of the best CS professors at Hunter. He is funny and his exams are not difficult. Quizzes seemed more difficult than exam. He is a very nice person, wish he taught more CS classes unlike the atrocious professors after him.

Legend

I had to retake but he uses the same tests and quiz altered a little bit. Failed because you have to remember the circuits for the finals and also score a 70 on the finals no matter your grade. Homeworks were literally blank files on gradescope and I got credit for them. Quizzes can have phone out. No cheat sheet.

hes very cute :3 but compared to the other cs professors hes rly good. if you have him ur lucky

He is a great professor and teaches well but mainly based on slides. If you score higher in your final it replaces the midterm, I am going to miss him! He is also hot soooooo
