He's okay

I thought this class was very useful but somewhat difficult. Comp is hard to lecture because it's not very interactive but KMP did a good job of trying to keep us interested. Be prepared to work outside of class.

KMP has been a fun teacher. He makes a lot of jokes in lectures and cares about his students. He is a cool guy for sure. Assignments tend to be pretty long but I think he is a great professor!

words and things

Great!!!

Hard class but good professor, and you learn a lot.

Great, fun class. If you're good at programming then the class will be pretty easy.

Awesome class! Lectures are super boring, but the assignments make up for it. The assignments are extremely challenging, but fun! 10/10 would take again (:

COMP 401 was VERY hard, but I don't think there's a single course I've taken in which I've learnt so much. Also, KMP is hilarious.

It takes you a long time to do the assignments, but the tests aren't hard if you do the practice tests.

Assignments count for a big part of your grade for this class, and their difficulty does tend to ramp up towards the end. You should, however, be able to get a 100% on the assignment portion. Tests are hard mostly because you will probably run out of time, so be quick on those. He explains the concepts well, and is overall a good teacher.

Good professor

He's a beautiful human being who speaks with closed eyes and an open heart. His lecture is a work of art worthy of the snooze through even if you know the material. Would recommend again.

Great guy. Great class. Lots of assignment extensions.

He himself isn't super tough but coding the programs in general are difficult if you do not understand the material well. His tests are not that bad if you take them the right way, definitely do the write your own code section on the pretests they are so similar to what will be on the actual test and do that as soon as you finish the multiple choic

KMP is the best lecturer in the Computer Science department at UNC.

KMP is a great professor; he is very responsive to the students' needs and schedules (like basketball games) and takes input from students when making adjustments to assignments/due dates. Lectures are a bit too long sometimes, but the lecture code and slides help when completing assignments. Also, he's pure capsaicin when it comes to looks.

Great class. You learn a lot and he is very fair with his grading and gives lots of opportunities to improve your grade. Large workload. Doesn't help that he is the hottest professor in US either.

Hilarious guy, but this class has an enormous workload. Be prepared to spend 10-15 hours a week on assignments. You'll also probably spend a lot of time in office hours unless you're already a pretty proficient coder. Exams are really hard and you probably won't finish them in time. If you put in work, a B or higher is attainable though.

He gives assignments often (maybe once a week) but they all build on each other, which is really nice. None of them are too difficult, but the exams are pretty tough.

Great professor who makes you work hard but teaches you a lot along the way.

He's a really good lecturer, but the lectures tend to get long. If you listen and take notes, you'll be fine. If not, studying is a bit of a scramble. If you have taken AP Comp Sci/had any programming background besides COMP110, the programs aren't that hard; just start them early. I recommend finding a textbook if you skip/sleep through lectures.

Great professor.

Take this class

Really funny guy and very effective at teaching. Attendance not required but I think it really helps to go.

Awesome!

The real MVP but he's no Kris Jordan. Just saying.

KMP is a cool dude. Sometimes it's a little hard to understand what he wants in an assignment, but he gives plenty of ways to ask him or TA's questions for clarification.

Good class, but definitely for CS majors. Do not take this if you're not interested in programming.

KMP is a solid choice for a comp professor, he knows what he's talking about and if you do the work you will do well. The tests are fairly straight forward, but time is the biggest limiting factor, you will have to be able to get through questions/ code puzzels quickly. Only complaint really is that the leactures are really lectury

Super difficult class, but KMP is a great guy and I learned so much this semester. The nature of the course is hard no matter who you take it with, since there's so much to cover, but KMP's jumpy and excited nature shows his passion for the stuff and it helps to stay focused during class and lecture

KMP is great in-class, but the work for this class is no joke. Thoroughly enjoyed.

If you give the effort on the Assignments. You are good to go!

Great professor. Wish I would have gone to class more

Great class, not too hard if you take the time to do the assignments and go to recitation. The midterms are heavily curved and he gave an extra-credit option.

Solid Class

Biggest grading requirement are the problem sets. They are difficult but not impossible. Don't try and do it the night before. Tests are time sensitive, actually hard to finish on time if you take a little while to write out code. However, great professor and would take again.

One of the hottest and best professors on campus.

Great class! Lectures move fast, and he talks a lot so sometimes hard to sift through material, but posts all the powerpoints and example code so info is there if you need it. Start assignments EARLY-- they're difficult but doable, I've learned a ton this semester but had to work hard for it. Would definitely take again!

Great professor. Lost of assignments but they have clear instructions and you have plenty of time. Exams are a bit intense but he curves them.

KMP is amazing at what he does, unfortunately the actual subject material can become extremely difficult to someone who isn't prepared. If you actually show up to class (Which isn't required) and pay attention, you should do fine in the course. The assignments can be rather frustrating but prepare you well for the exams.

KMP is a an entertaining lecturer. START THE ASSIGNMENTS EARLY (they are long and vague and require work). The exams are tough (you will NOT have enough time to finish them) - do the practice exams and study the lecture code - nobody does "well" on the exams but he curves pretty heavily and is flexible with late waivers at the end of the semester

KMP IS AWESOME! Just remember to start your assignments early and ask on Piazza. Exams are hard but he curved it and gave retake chance.

Take 401 with KMP! Really hard exams. Avg was a D, but he curves & provides lots of EC. Assignment heavy class. Assignments are long and take a while to complete. He test for tricky edge cases & stops releasing JUnit test. TAs are superb & host lots of OH. Funny guy. He has standup comedy worthy stories. I learned a lot and highly recommend him.

KMP is the best

Great professor who cares immensely for students.

KMP is the best professor I've had so far at UNC

Really good class- assignments super useful for learning, lectures less so. KMP's a chill dude though!

Does his best to make the class interesting, even though the lectures can be pretty dry. Problem sets are fun but take some time.

Challenging class, but awesome professor

I'm not making the world's best grades in the class, but he's an amazing professor and he kills the game. Show up to lectures, he's awesome (even though they aren't mandatory). Very assignment heavy, start them early or you'll spend the rest of the semester scrambling to make them up like I did. Would definitely take again.

Very good at explaining material. Assignments can get hard towards the end of the semester but they are manageable if you give yourself time and work with peers.

Good professor and funny

I personally really liked KMP a lot. The material was interesting and you'll learn the most from completing the assignments. Grade is based on 9 assignment, one midterm, and a final. Towards the end of the semester, the assignments got bigger and more stressful. Overall good class, he really knows his stuff about comp sci.

Great professor, assignments helped me learn A LOT. Can sometimes be a little confusing in lecture, but help is very available through office hours and piazza. Very laid back about extensions, make-up points, etc. and very fair.

Great professor, great lecturer. A little lecture heavy but lectures are skippable as long as you're comfortable enough with the material to review on your own time. Tests can be difficult, but doing everything KMP says really will help you become a better programmer. Teaches important concepts for if you're ever interviewed by a programmer.

Hilarious guy!

He's great, but sometimes it's pretty hard to stay awake in his lectures.

Although sometimes the lectures can drag on a little bit, he is a hilarious professor and he thoroughly teaches important skills for programmers to have.

KMP really cares that you learn & provides EC opportunities. His exams are no joke. They are downright difficult & time consuming. It isn't uncommon to not finish them in time. He curves very generously to offset how difficult his exams are. It's no secret, KMP is the best 401 prof. Take 401 with KMP if at all possible.

KMP is great, he makes lectures fun and entertaining. Topics are interesting and the concepts are solidified through doing the homework. Great professor and class, would recommend taking 401 with him.

If you know what your doing and/or have prior programming experience, the class is extremely easy. Otherwise, it's going to be one of the toughest courses you'll ever take.

Class is not "extremely easy", unless you think exam avgs in 50s-60s is an easy class and/or do not care about your GPA whatsoever. Exams are lengthy & difficult to finish on time. Exams are long, written coding parts take so long its actually hard to finish the exams. Assignments are given out on a non-stop basis. KMP is fair. He curves, gives EC.

Laid back on late assignments. Curves the exams. Hilarious story teller. Gave us a lot of extra credit opportunities. You can tell he really cares about the students. He is one of the best professors in the CS department. If you have a choice between him or anyone else, choose KMP. He is the superior choice. This isn't even up for debate.

Comp with KMP is great, lectures are a little boring but informative. Assignments can be challenging but it is very possible to get them completed and on time with full points. Exams are hard but with practice exams and curve you will be fine, overall great class.

Chill professor, lecture can get a bit dry but he definitely knows what he's talking about.

An amazing professor. If you are taking this class, take it with him. He is hilarious and makes the lectures as interesting as possible. Lectures are completely optional, though they are helpful since a large section of exams is based on the lectures. All notes and example code are online. DO THE ASSIGNMENTS ON TIME

Loved him! COMP 401 is a tough class if you don't already have a lot of programming experience - START YOUR ASSIGNMENTS EARLY. That being said, KMP is super helpful in his office hours, he loves taking the time to explain to you what you need to do (he'll honestly sometimes just give you the answer), also just a funny guy and my fave professor rn

KMP is the man, would take again. Tests are hard, but what isn't? If you study hard enough, it will work out. If you don't, you won't. Besides that, he is hilarious. I wish I hadn't skipped class, but it was in the morning... RIP

Dude is hilarious

Fun class

Took his Comp 401 class this year, definitely my favorite class of the semester

Love this guy. Tough class, you need to stay on top of the work but you will learn so much and if you are a future Comp Sci major/minor, he is a great professor to start with.

COMP 401 with Ketan is great. Comp 401 is a tough class, but Ketan is a solid teacher with lots of fun stories during lectures. He also explains things well, has clear class structure and bountiful communication, and is a good teacher. You will learn a ton. It will be a lot of work on the side.

Such a beautiful man he is. Amazing class, not too hard lots of extra credit opportunities, and hes a very lenient grader and always open to deadline extensions and giving a few points back.

Dude is hilarious. Lectures get a little tenuos.

KMP is the man. There's nothing I can say here that hasn't already been said about him, and it's all true.

KMP is the best, the tests are extremely difficult but he curves them a lot. Start the assignments early because they get increasingly difficult. If you go to office hours the project aren't that bad.

Difficult class, but rewards effort on some level

Best guy ever tbh, really funny and has great stories. Lectures aren't really mandatory but sometimes he gives reading quizzes in class for participation. Lectures are kinda dry but you learn a lot from the assignments. START THEM EARLY. lots of office hours for when you need help. tends to curve well and push deadlines back but don't depend on it

He is hilarious and this is a pretty well structured class, although I strongly recommend attending and paying attention thoroughly in lectures.

He's awesome! Hilarious and chill

KMP puts the "pro", not only in "programming", but also in "professor". I highly recommend taking COMP 401 with him.

KMP is an awesome professor. The lectures are pretty dry but he tries to make them interesting. The homeworks are hard (not terrible if you pay attention) but completely doable in the time given if you start early. The test was HARD but curved. I really liked how the homework built to doing stuff that was really applicable. 10/10 would recommend.

KMP is the GOAT.

Assignments will take you a lot of time. Start early, group up if needed, and read the hell out of Piazza for hints from your classmates. Even if you're told a concept isn't going to be on the test, study it anyways.

Great professor, talks fast in class so a little hard to follow/ pay attention, hes hilarious, assignments can get a bit time consuming but office hours and other students help. Take him for COMP 401!

KMP is the best professor i have taken by far. The homework applies to concepts you learned the week before in class and can be extremely difficult! start early and really make use of the office hours! he gives extra credit chances! also agreed: if someone tells you something won't be on the test STUDY it

KMP is a wonderful professor that will help you if you show that you do work.

As someone with previous experience with Java, this class was relatively easy. Each assignment was a new challenge for me to relearn Java. Though assignments can get a little hard, the help of others and L.A.'s is EXTREMELY helpful. If you don't have any experience with Java, don't use this opinion.

KMP is a great professor who truly cares about getting his students to know the material. His lectures are sometimes long, but he will also tell hilarious stories throughout the semester. There are a lot of opportunities to get help for the problem sets (utilize his office hours). The tests are hard, but put in the work and you will be fine.

He is very good professor. Hope, You get it.

He is awesome. I wish all the professors were like he. He is polite and respectful to all. He as he was said has empathy and this has become proved for me. Take him because you will be happy with him. I promise you. He is a great professor and also very elaborate to his job and conduct you through the projects to convey the concept of programming

KMP is a fantastic man. The course content and assignments can be tough and his lectures aren't always the most interesting, but he is super willing to help students when they need it. He often will push back deadlines if enough people are having trouble, and if you let him know about an issue he will fix it immediately. Overall a great professor.

KMP is America's hottest professor. His lectures are fairly fast paced and can be a bit hard to follow, but such is the nature of the class. Revisit lecture slides and example code outside of class and things will make more sense. Tests are hard but he tends to curve them. Don't procrastinate on assignments and you'll get them done just fine.

Funny; He cares about his students

A good guy who knows his stuff. The TA system is really accessible and helpful, and students are put into cohort groups to have direct access to a TA at all times too. My main gripe is that his lectures are very monotonous and long, but that also gives you the perfect opportunity to make your way up the leader board of your preferred mini game.

KMP is a solid prof, good choice for 401. He says the same thing multiple ways in every lecture, boring if you got it the first time but can add insight, also if you missed it the first time he said it you won't get completely lost bc he's bound to say it again. Assignments are interesting & his requirements are clear. Plus he's funny.

Good Prof

Awesome professor. Highly recommend.

great classs

Good Professor, very funny. Lectures can be kind of slow, but I would definitely take again

Very funny, very caring

This man is a legend . 10/10

The lecture's were a bit heavy and same with the assignments. As long as you get through the assignments and get a decent grade on the exams you'll pass the class. He's a good prof.

Good choice for COMP 401!!

Good Professor. He gave good feedback, and kept the class engaged through interesting examples. The assignments do take time, but a solid TA support structure and online forum will help you through any difficulty if you put in the effort.

KMP is an amazing instructor who can clearly explain difficult concepts. Very understanding of students needs. Will work with you to make sure you get the most out of the class.

Take it. You won't regret it. Everything makes sense, but make sure you put time for reviewing his lecture codes and slides. You could pass this class by not ever showing up, except on exam days.

Great professor, very funny, but the lectures were so boring I couldn't bring myself to pay attention. Taught myself entirely through TAs and google. Only one assignment every couple of weeks, not too hard a class.

KMP is the greatest. His lectures are very high-level, conceptual, and enthusiastic. He doesn't waste your time - if he finishes a lesson early, you'll find yourself with an extra half-hour. And, of course, he is HILARIOUS.

KMP is a great guy with a great sense of humor. It's really easy to fall asleep or zone out in class though because his lectures are very wordy and not very interactive. Make sure to look through the PowerPoints after classes and go to office hours. Stay on top of assignments. They get tough throughout the semester.

I changed my major to computer science because of this professor. Assignments add up on each other, so make sure you don't pass an assignment without understanding it.

KMP is a great professor and a really understanding person. He has so much energy when he lectures, communicating somewhat boring concepts with enthusiasm that makes you want to listen. Start early on assignments (especially the last one). Come ready to learn and you'll get a lot out of COMP 401.

KMP is hilarious! He cracks jokes all the time and make the class feel lively and awake. Making a class of 500+ people feel personal is definitely not an easy task. Slides might be jargon-heavy, but examples & assignments in class makes it very easy to understand concepts. You have to put in 3-7 hours of work per week, that's the nature of coding.

He is a really nice and intelligent professor. He can explain things well. Although his test is hard, he will give big curve. Don't worry.

If you know Java, this class won't be the least bit challenging. If you show up with no experience, get ready to struggle.

His lecture is unclear, but you can learn a lot from his ppt. Also an easy grader

KMP is great, always gives extension and he curves a lot. A little problem is that the assignment can be hard if you are just a beginner. If you are a freshman, it's better to take COMP 110 first.

He was delightful on the first day of class. Then the semester happened. Assignments are tough, & many of the lectures are vague/hard to follow. On the plus side, he does curve tests significantly. I thought this class was usually fair, but that doesn't mean it wasn't extremely difficult.

KMP is an awesome professor and will help you learn logic very well. I was apprehensive about taking 401 as my first COMP class here instead of 110, but KMP will help you with any problems you have. Just make sure you do your assignments and learn what sections of the test you can do well, and you will do just fine!

KMP is the man! He is a very well spoken professor who conveys the material clearly. His enthusiasm for the subject matter is refreshing and his explanations for object oriented programming and design patterns are insightful. He also is super understanding of due dates and will push back a deadline if you just communicate with him. He's awesome!

KMP is awesome. Most of the projects in the class were pretty tedious but not too difficult. The final exam was extremely difficult but he gave a massive curve. In the end KMP is a very fair professor, as long as you put in effort you're guaranteed a good result.

This was one of the best classes I have ever taken! He is definitely one of the best professors I had encountered! He is very funny and if you have previous programming experience, this class should be a breeze!

Never write these but this man is an amazing professor. I think he has too many students to teach as is often the case in the department, but he is a straight shooter and will meet you half way. He as been one of my best Comp sci teachers, and I would of never Graduated without him. Fair but respects your independence to seek out help

I really enjoyed COMP 401, but warning: there were no set deadlines so if you don't keep up with the work on your own, you're screwed. Definitely a weed out class for computer science majors. If you study hard and go to office hours, you'll be fine. KMP can be a little disorganized, but overall great prof. Just make sure you're prepared to keep up.

Learned a lot mostly from assignments. A couple of them were much harder than others but still doable. Lectures arent too useful, KMP is cool but its hard to pay attention. Midterm is hard but grading is fair, final is a group project with a project expo. Worth taking if you're ok with many assignments (10 total) and able to learn on your own

Haters gotta hate but KMP is cool. AP Comp Sci kids are very prepared for 401, but often COMP 110 kids struggle. Basic Java is taught very quickly; if you have no Java background, do yourself a favor and do some Codeacademy over the break. Mandatory attendance for recitations, not for lectures, but there are pop quizzes. GET HELP IF YOU NEED IT.

One trivial assignment every 2 weeks which only takes about 2 hours to do. Tricky midterm but not too bad. Trivial final exam. Nontrivial extra credit for up to 4% increase of the total grade. Decent lectures. Take the class for an easy A, just make sure you know java before you go in because he doesn't wait for you to catch up.

KMP is funny and relatable, but his lectures were boring and hard for me to focus on (although tbh it could've been because of the time of day). Assignments aren't too bad, didn't take me more than a couple hours each. Had a high A the whole semester but barely ended with an A- because I didn't study enough for the final, so don't ignore the tests.

KMP is a good professor. His lectures are a little bit boring, but he does take a good amount of time to explain the concepts that you need to succeed in the class. Bc COMP401 is so big, didn't get to know him that well. This was a hard class for me, who had no Java background. Make sure you go to all lectures and study hard for the tests!

KMP cares for his students! And you have to put in the work! Since it was an 8am class, it may be hard to be fully awake. So, I recommend going to class, then watch his posted videos and take notes after class! He is a great lecturer! Use his practice exams when studying for midterm and final. And do your absolute best on the assignments! Love him!

NOTE: This review may be outdated, as COMP 401 is no longer an option. While lectures are pretty boring, He made sure to explain thoroughly with lots of examples. The Cohorts, Piazza and LAs provide a lot of support if you are confused. The biggest issue is that the class spends too much time on the basics and not enough time on the design patterns

Solid professor. Although the lectures are boring, they are clear and to the point. Slides are full of things to know for the test. He gives participation quizzes, so watch out if skipping class. HWs are ok, there is extra credit occasionally. Exams are hard, but there are plenty practice.

10% participation 25% assignments (8 total) 30% midterm 35% final Curves tests I don't know what the other reviewers of this class are talking about, since KMP goes over the material well. Maybe it's just the people I took it with, but If you can understand the ideas he spoon feeds to you, you will run laps around the average person in this class.

KMP did a good job of teaching us the material for the class. Only had to go to office hours once; rest of the assignments & material was clear. Lectures were interesting and presentation were helpful. The entire class is based on Java, so if you don't know it, I'd recommend getting a head start so you don't feel like you're behind from the start.

No readings; 9 coding assignments and a few worksheets; participation by google form sometimes (but the link is always available in the class slides); office hours and cohorts held by LAs; make sure to study the slides well for the tests. Overall the workload is manageable. I learned a lot and I like KMP's style.

KMP is by far the best professor to exist. The class was pretty much a breeze with him. He established clear criteria for the grading scale. Although you need a 94 to get an A, 40% of your grade is an easy 100 from worksheets (30%) and participation (10%). The midterm (30%) and final (30%) is pretty easy as long as you study the worksheets/slides.

If you've done competitive programming frequently, this class will be a cake walk; you don't necessarily need to know Java coming in. KMP tried his best to make an 8am class as fun as possible, and he did fine. Pretty caring and flexible. He grades fairly, and if you have a problem you can always email him, although he is sometimes slow to reply

This is downright the easiest comp course I've taken at UNC. KMP had very clear lectures and examples. The midterm was OK. The assignments were not hard and had instructions to walk you through what you need to do. The final was a group project that was graded leniently. Go to class and submit work on time for an easy A.

Assignments were relatively easy but others with no experience in Java struggled more. The midterm and final each count for 30% of the grade, so study hard if you want an A.

Hard to pay attention in lectures. KMP asked us to learn basic HTML/CSS on our own which was annoying. But, the assignments were very good, and this is easily the most useful CS elective. He should have gone more into backend, since for the final project, I pretty much learned everything by myself. Also: don't let the final project creep up on you.

Great class. People complaining about a difficult exam or whatever clearly did not study hard enough. KMP was very fair on exam grading and acknowledged his mistakes with unfair questions (and compensated accordingly). Do your assignments without copying code and you'll be fine.

Attend class-you're paying a ton for it. He covers content in lectures-nothing very fun, but that's the content-it's important, understand it intuitively! Ask questions in class, emails have sass. Code HW is fun and worksheets are great to study. Start preparing for grade-heavy midterm/final 2 weeks ahead to understand **each** detailed objective.

Fantastic professor that has taken UNC Computer Science to new heights. The group project is very difficult when the course it 100% online. Stay up to date on the homework assignments and visit the TAs when you have any questions. If you're lazy and slack off, you don't do well in the course.

He's not a good lecturer. He'll talk the entire class not stopping once for questions. But the assignments are designed so well you'll get a good grade if you do those properly. The midterm is ridiculous but only 20% of your grade. HTML/CSS knowledge expected, he doesn't cover them. Definitely a worthwhile class.

This class is filled with UNC's worst students. Students want to be handed the A instead of trying to learn. In my opinion even the least bit of studying would have helped u do well on the exam. KMP even gave an insane curve on the midterm, and the final was honestly fair. Like most CS classes, its hard but you put in the work you will do well.

KMP is a great teacher and you'll learn A LOT from this class. It's very much weighted on assignments and project learning. There's one midterm that has decent weight so you'll want to study for this. KMP's exams are pretty difficult and this one was no different

Classes are confusing sometimes, but made up by the extra credit homework

COMP301* not COMP401. Pretty much as good as it gets in the COMP department at UNC, very knowledgable about the subject matter and great speaker and personality.

Prof. Mayer-Patel was fantastic this semester. I thought he did an outstanding job of explaining all course material throughout the semester during lectures, explaining things in great detail and walking through lots of examples. Assignment-heavy class but they are really well made -- they can be really hard sometimes but you learn a lot from them

Lectures are okay. He posted them online so missing a day or two wasn't the end of the world. Was flexible with assignment deadlines.

KMP is super fun and a great lecturer. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he keeps track of participation with pollev. The exams were pretty straightforward and the labs were super easy and fun.

KMP was pretty good at teaching this class. Felt like he went too quickly through slides sometimes. Theres a lot of material covered so make sure you know it. Tests could be tough in the,but the MC wasnt. The labs are worth the most and could be quite challenging for some of them. Start early and go to office hours often!

KMP is an excellent professor and great choice for COMP 301. He is extremely energetic in lecture, perhaps a tad fast, but lectures are very engaging. Assignments are pretty good and you learn a lot of applied skills in 301 that is applicable later. All lectures are recorded, and TAs provide great resources for exams. My favorite COMP class so far.

Great class with lots of resources to succeed. Attendance (taken through pollev) is worth 5% of your grade, and lectures are recorded. The coding assignments are usually straightforward. The midterms are somewhat difficult in comparison

lecture slides are well detailed, assignments are pretty easy. midterms are hard in comparison...make sure you know all the tiny details of each concept.

KMP would always explain the material very thoroughly. The class was very lecture-heavy, but programming assignments were pretty straightforward and easy. Midterms were a bit more difficult, but the LA team was fantastic and very helpful. Overall a great experience, would recommend it.

KMP was a great lecturer with excellent slides; this class was well-paced with focused assignments. Also had a phenomenal TA team that made helpful exam reviews. Overall it was well-structured, though accessing office hours was challenging at times and a few assignments had some really niche edge cases/required some self-study to understand.

Just show up to class (or at least watch lectures), and you will most definitely be fine. Do understand the assignments and what is on his PowerPoints, and you will definitely do well on the exams.

The class is easier compared to other cs courses. Exam questions can be tricky if you havent practiced practice material. Coding the concepts is a great way to remember stuff. Starting assignments as early as possible & going to office hours is the best strategy. KMP gives good expanations, he is better than many professors in tecahing.

Homework isn't too bad. The tests are very fair. The lecture slides are very good, but I still attended all of the lectures since KMP brings a lot of energy to them. One of the most organized classes I've taken.

I barely went to class since it was so early, but still did okay because he used Aaron Smith's excellent slides. The exams can be quite tough, but his assignments are really good and teach you a lot of the concepts. Get started on A9 early tho, I waited 8 hours to get help in OH. His TAs were responsive and helpful, and Ajay carried the team lol.

Ketan is one of my favorite professors at UNC, he's super outgoing and nice to all students. His lectures are clear and I thought his explanations of computer science topics we're great. I would certainly recommend taking this course with him.

Absolute GOAT, he is the PEAK of CS dept. His tests were really easy if you study day or two before, office hours were super helpful and accessible. He was super flexible and considerate especially with deadlines: he pushed 2 assignments due in sept to dec cuz of the shooting. Lecture were easy to follow with all lectures+resources provided online.

Overall great guy and lecturer. Midterms aren't bad. Assignments might take a while but they're kinda fun.

KMP is cool. An 8am is tough so I'm glad he had no attendance policy this semester. The lectures were recorded so I relied on those. The midterm and final were pretty easy. Most of the labs were easy too. However, get started on the last one (Akari) EARLY. It is worth a HUGE part of your grade so camp in office hours. Easiest core COMP class

I was at all but one of the 8 AM lectures, and KMP was somehow full of energy for every single one. His slides are also some of the best of any professor I've had, and were made fully available online. They are concise and easy to understand, and were more than enough for my friends who didn't attend class. KMP is extremely kind and enthusiastic.

KMP is the goat. Anyone would be blessed to have him for 301.

8am class and I never went to class. He records every lecture and posts it online. The material is easy and the class is half assignments and half tests. KMP is overall pretty nice but the grading is a bit strict and he a stickler on rounds...

I feel so unhappy seeing the negative reviews. These are total lies against the professor. He was an excellent professor this semester. Its not your choice how the course should be, its the professores choice. He was generous enough to record his lectures, while most students were absent, so why are you complaining?

This review does not aim to glorify Professor KMP because he did have his flaws, but I enjoyed the course. While the lecture notes could have been presented in a better format, and yes, Professor KMP did cancel classes a few times, I felt the project and assignments were manageable as long as one started on them early and attended lectures.

I absolutely loved this course, I was able to learn the Fullstack. All praise goes to the Professor.

This course was amazing. Professor knows how to explain concepts well and records lectures. Students complaining are the ones who never showed upto class and started studying at the last minute.

KMP is the absolute legend, I took both 301 and 426. He is the best Professor in the world! He accommodates students well. His lectures are amazing. The TAs of this course were great too. Thank you TA team!

The latest technologies were covered. HTML, CSS, JS, Node JS, Express JS, React, Angular, SQLite and theoretical concepts related to webdevelopment. 5/5 course.

Very generous course. You could get upto an A- using outside resources if you attested it. This helped many people get their grade up. A very good course if you want to know about fullstack web development.

Assignment 3 was very hard, but now I know better Javascript and event driven frontend development. Thank you professor.
