Best professor I have ever had. He pushed me to a level I have never been pushed. Study hard and the class will be fun.

Very dedicated. Always well prepared and teaches effectively. Very motivational. Ensures that students are taught what they're supposed to learn. When you leave his class you are definitely leaving with much more than you came in with.

Superb, great teacher, knows what he is talking about. i took this course at a previous college and failed it. i saw the light with the teacher here.

If you wanna learn programming take Assadipour. Do the homework and u'll do fine, def the best CS teacher at newark even though his english no be perfect, but whose is here.

Nice guy def. knows the material and presents it with good examples. Does need to work on the english. Take him in the summer for CS 101 makes the class easy in a compact semester.

Had him for a majority of my CIS classes in Rutgers (on purpose). The only bad thing about him is that sometimes he spends too much time explaining things to the dumb people in the class (but usualy those people have dropped out by the 3 level courses)

Had him for CIS 1 & 2. He is helpful and teaches well. It is the subject itself that is difficult, not the Prof. As long as you show up to class & do all the HW he assigns, you will do fine. Open book tests--difficult but he curves @ the end of the semester. Final exam is derived from the tests.

He is a good professor overall. Gives the students a good opportunity to do well. I would recomend taking him if you really want to learn the material. Do the homework and you will be fine.

An overall great professor. Knows his stuff, probably because he has a PhD in computer science and chemical engineering. However, he might be a little too hard for people who aren't science majors.

Had him for CS 101 and 102. I don't understand why you guys had trouble with him. His first exam is easy, n people get complacent n don't do the hw or study. Then you get the 2nd exam and you're screwed. His class notes n hw have nothing to do with da exams.But da point is you understand it, not memorize the material. U understand dat, u'll b ok.

Cares about students. Hands class notes before lecture so you just follow the handout. If you do the homework you'll do fine. Good Professor.

I loved this class even though I would leave the class like what the hell did he just say! The material in the beginning is fairly simple & the first exam is a breeze but he purposely makes the second & third hard as hell so people can fail. If you are a an engineering major get to know him and you will DO GREAT IN HIS CLASS. DO HW & go to class~!

very flexible and approachable professor. also answers all questions thoroughly

He always has responded to my emails. he is always nice. I used to ask 100 of questions each class he used to ans. each of them very nicely. I dont know what peopel below me are talking about. Its a easy course. all you have to do is read the book and know where things are. VERY VERY VERY EASY and YOU LEARN A LOTTTTTTTTTT which is awesome

one thing i noticed ppl on this site tend to overlook their situations and say the teacher is bad....you ll b a fool to say this teacher can't teach.....he goes over the problems, gives u a guide for hw, extend your deadlines, use his sample exams for the actual tests... awesome teacher and a gift from God..!!!

His tests are easy, all you have to do is compute the outputs of the problems. His sample exams are very similar, and they are all open book! so stick a few notes and hints onto your pages to look back on. he does take attendance everyday but it helps your grade at the end. coming into this class i knew nothing about comp sci and left with a B.

This prof is great; the people who complain aren't reading the textbk and studying- HELLO how else do you do well in a class? The exams/quizzes are open book and he goes over the hw before it's due. What else could you ask for? I knew nothing of CS before this class. He really helps you if you care about the class.

He isn't a bad teacher, and he isn't a bad person. He's there to help if you ask for it. However, his class is in no way easy either; not difficult to pass, but a fine grade will definitely require serious effort.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROF if you are a very low intelligence half-wit. No free grade here,you have to study and you will get a grade that you deserve. Very fair, crystal clear and patient prof.

You have to study to get good grades. It's simple.

I have no idea what these people are talking about. Assadipour is the easiest professor on the planet. Homeworks aren't mandatory and he does them for you! The quizzes and exams are OPEN BOOK. if you get an A in the class he exempts you from the final. Easiest class ever!

The class isn't exactly easy, but he is a great professor! He is very old-fashion and would rather discuss problems/issues in person that through. All exams are open book and attending class will just mean you don't have to do homework. If you do a little work and understand the concepts, definitely get an A.

Idk what ppl are talking about. I got an A in the summer semester. His practice programs and projects really helped, although they were hard. His exams are EXACTLY like the review!! He's very helpful if you show effort and that you care. He's very sweet and brilliant!

The professor will provide students with all the resources needed to do well in the class, but it's up to the students to use them. Quizzes and exams are open-book, and homework is discussed in class. If you put in a reasonable effort, you should do well. If you think that means learning material the day before/of an exam, I wish you well.

I took 101 Fall'11. You definitely have to use most, if not all resources, (especially the book) to learn the core basics of programming which is pretty much needed for CS classes. 101 was easy peasy. Open book and you only need to know how code works. You'll know that you'll be a good programmer if you can pass/Ace his exams without studying.

Took him Spring'12, he pretty much gives you a taste of how a CS major will be like. Professors teaching higher level of understanding barely looking at the bloodline of the code. Reading the book helps if you make sure you understand how the example code runs. CS majors should take him, otherwise don't. I got exempted for finals and had easy time.

Easiest CS classes out of NJIT and Rutgers. Comp Sci is demanding but at least he sets up the course that you learn so much even from the start. Even I could see that people that he gives an attitude problem never read the book. Book is there to read and learn not to just use during exams. All other things he does are supplementary and practice.

The professor likes to add things on his tests that weren't discussed previously (meaning you never wrote a program with said aspect in class yet he puts it on the test). Be prepared to rewrite codes daily, you'll need to know how each works well enough to make your own without assistance. Book didn't help, ask professor. He will answer questions.

You have to take him because he explains the material better than the other professors do. Trust me, I know. Programming 101 is very delicate and easy to fail. He doesn't expect you to memorize, his tests are clear, and if you understand the work you WILL pass whereas the others professors expect you to memorize things without a clear understanding

This professor is really fair grader and he will not leave you struggle in the course if you asked him. Highly recommend professor Assadipour!

Many other students in the class did well. Students who are completely new to programming should read the book that he assigns. Also he gives homework every week but attempts the problems in class so students can see and follow along as well as ask questions. He helps students in class while they write and run the code. Quizzes every other week.

I had him for CS101. His CS102 class was a bit harder and I didn't get to practice as much in class. The reasons for this maybe: it was a 6-9 class, once a week, and his father was really really ill andit may have affected his involvement with us in class. Nevertheless he gave a LOT of partial credit since everyone was struggling with the subject.

Not a bad professor. I had him and Zhang and I prefer Assadipour. Assadipour is not a very nice person but he's clear in his grading criteria. He gave a lot of practice and review to prepare us for the exams. Exams consist of output, code writing, and terminology. Not helpful outside of class but the only way to do well is to practice!

I found him to be very fair. If you don't show up or don't do your work he's not going to pamper you, but if you are ready to learn and turn in all assignments on time, you can easily get an A in this class. NOTE: Do not use your phone in his class or he'll kick you out. I'm a little older so I personally loved this policy.

I honestly don't understand what the negative reviews are about. Yes, he's strict and old-fashioned and his exams are tough, but I went into his class with no prior knowledge in coding and finished with an A. He really wants you to learn how to code. If you put in the work he will gladly give you the grade you deserve.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
