His tests are ridiculous, NO help what so ever....Falls asleep during student presentations

No Comments

one word: awful. nice guy and cares about student needs. unfortunately he is an awful, awful professor. his exams include some questions which could have more than one answer, but he only accepts "his" answer.

Horrible teacher, has no knowledge of subject, waist of time and money. Avoid him if you can since he is the only one who teaches thid class.

Neilforoshan falls asleep during most of the preesntations which he makes you do almost once a week. So the class is two days a week, one day he falls asleep while you talk, and the next day he reads directly from power points which he gives you. The tests are multiple choice and have nothing to do with the material covereed in class.

OMG this guy is a jerk. He barely lectures, and when he does he talks so loud it gives you a headache. Very vague with assignments and due dates. No exam review. Soooo lazy!!!

He failed and accused people in the class of academic dishonesty, and the provost won't let us appeal it. This man needs to go!!!!!

This guy can't teach so he makes the rest of the class do it for him in the form of power point presentations. You have to do one every week and sometimes he will make you do one when you don't expect it. Avoid if you can.

I swear that last person who left that comment must have been neilforoshan himself. Anyone who thinks this man "teaches" you anything is flat out lying. He blows and only is employed because he somehow got tenured.. Complete waste of time and I have never hated a professor before, but this man is ROBBING Stockton!

Dont take. 20 page paper. Presentations every week. Exams tough as nail. Quizes every week. nothing like comp org. comp org was easy and fun. this is stupid. you dont get out of the first chapter of book throughout semester. dont take. so hands-off course and too much writing presentaition

Rarely lectures; most of the time he has students up at the board doing homework problems that come directly from the book. I ended up buying a Chegg Study subscription and used it to reverse engineer the book solutions just so I could understand the concepts. He also assigns a RIDICULOUS amount of homework, but never grades it or hands it back...

absolutely the worst. i have no idea what my grade is and im more than halfway through this semester with him. youtube will teach you more than this guy. his way of teaching is talking your ear off for 2 hours and then assigning 6 hours of homework to "teach" you but god forbid you do it wrong. no room for being incorrect, no growth, nothing.

Failed to keep his plan with Paper Presentations. Halfway through he changed it to based on random calling compared to going every other week as was described at the beginning of the semester and never clarified this change.

soooooo much work

This is the only time I've felt compelled to use ratemyprof. The worst prof I've encountered in the CS program by far. The work isn't impossible or hard, but it is made that way by his teaching. Homework isn't uploaded, attendance is taken randomly, grades are rarely given. If you can take this class with any other professor, please do.

By far the worst professor I have ever taken in my entire life! Don't expect to know what your grade is ever, or what the course material is. Exams are extremely short amount of time, like half the class period for some reason, and they're only 5 questions so one wrong, and you're at an 80. But don't expect your grade back. Avoid him at all costs

Christ, where to start. After the first class, I knew it was going to be a challenge, as his online lectures are solely him talking whilst scribbling on a piece of blank printer paper. His grading is unclear without feedback, you will fall behind if you blink for too long, his lectures seem nonsensical, and he talks in circles. Avoid this prof.

Made my ratemyprofessor account because of him. Don't expect to know your grade all semester, doesn't use blackboard, rarely responds to emails. Told our class he wants there to be a competition between each other, so we cannot have the full class period for exams because it would be unfair to those who can finish it faster than others. Avoid him!

Save yourself and take this class with another professor. I don't usually give any professors a bad review, however, this professor was the worst one I've had. Three exams. Most of your grade is based off presenting and homework is never graded. Your grade is a secret. You won't learn anything except some circuit design and binary operations.

Does not teach anything, YOU TEACH YOURSELF along with a group every week. You don't know your grade all semester, tons of homework, but the homework is easy which is the only plus. Group presentation and debates every week, you teach the class, and that is it. Do not recommend, only took for credit.

This is my first time feeling so strongly about a professor that I have actually wrote a review. AVOID THIS PROFESSOR AT ALL COSTS. Gives vague lectures that go in circles then assigns unnecessary amount of repetitive busy work. Doesn't grade your work until the end of the semester. You are expected to show solutions to things he barely taught.

I had him twice. If you can take a mental beating and know how to cut corners, you'll be fine. Otherwise, this will be one of your worst classes. His homework sucks, doesn't grade, his lectures are convoluted and spin you in circles, and if you're in his other classes, he won't even teach you and asks you to DIY. Avoid unless you have no choice.

By far the worst teacher I ever had. So bad I actually have to write this in hopes that he gets fired. If any administrators see this, please read! This teacher took weeks off at a time, would come back to give tests and quizzes. At the last class he surprised us and told us he graded nothing and that we would have to show our grades to him. Yells.

worst teacher I've had in my four year college run, He genuinely doesn't explain anything and expects you to figure it out on your own. You are heavily graded on class participation that you have to track yourself, If I could write how bad he is in 350 characters I would. But he far exceeds that. Take another teacher if you wanna actually learn.

This professor is INFAMOUS among CSCI students. He teaches *so many* classes, you can't avoid him! It's a miracle how he can't use technology but teaches 25% of the courses on it. High-school levels of homework. You and your poor classmates teach yourselves. YOU HAVE TO RECORD YOUR GRADES BECAUSE HE DOESN'T KEEP TRACK. Please fire him. Please.

Professor so bad I made an account Grades on Participation, but belittles you if you get it wrong. All Zoom lectures with no use of blackboard despite being online HW practically everyday Does not respond to emails Requires facecam Belittles you for asking question or clarification. Miss class= Miss HW Does not grade anything in a timely manner

Participate and do the homework at the beginning of the semester since the homework problems get more complicated in the second half. Take home quizzes that can help your grade. The exams are like 4-5 problems with many parts, no cheat sheet. The concept is not hard, but the prof sucks at teaching it (my class had to teach HIM how to add binary).

Do every single piece of homework he will give you, it is an unfathomable amount of work for an easy course but it will help you so much on his ambiguous exams (often asking these questions on his small exams / quizzes). Unclear grading, often giving similar fallacies dissimilar deductions and is completely rude. Better off with someone else.

I tried giving him a chance this semester as it is impossible to graduate as a computer science major without taking his course. He teaches genuinely nothing and the majority of classes are presenting hw. His grading relies on students keeping track of how many times they participate. He's just a rude person as well and I wish I had more words tbh.

Save yourself. For a computer organization professor it is incredible how little he knows about how to operate a computer. Having a zoom course w/ him consists of 20 minutes of him trying to take attendance and make sure everybody's zoom name is in the correct format. Easy class but he makes it strenuous with his "teaching". Avoid if you can.

I've had him for both CSCI3250 and now CSCI4251 (I had to take this for my schedule). He is an easy A, but I would never recommend taking him. Barely teaches, tends to answer questions with more questions or homework to research your question. Present HW every Friday. All recent reviews are terrible, older reviews are better. Probably has tenure.

Comes in to class stoned every day

DO NOT TAKE IF POSSIBLE! Worst professor I have had in my time at Stockton, Unrealistic expectations for classwork presentations which are 20% of final grade. Have to keep track of grade throughout semester but he doesn't grade anything. Rude and rarely available for help. Genuinely no clue why the university continues to give him courses.

This is my fourth class I've taken with him, because for some reason they let him teach 30% of the CS courses, and I am happy to say that this one was just as dreary. He did actually email us the content, but Blackboard remains untouched. Also, we had to keep track of all the work we submitted ourselves, AND put it on a bought USB to turn it in.

Worst professor I've ever had in college. Minimal lectures + self-guided work. He relies on you to track your grade. (Final grade depends on a self-assessment form.) Half of each lecture is spent presenting HW (usually slideshows). He often uses non-Stockton emails for work and is inconsistent with guidelines. Extremely rude, awful person.
