Worst ever prof. one could find on earth. Not clear in teaching, grading is kinda bad. Doesn't know anything about subject and takes all sort of possible subjects from cs dept(data structures). through to electrical dept.(compiler construction)

Ill prepared for all the lectures. Just reads stuff off (often erroneous) slides. Very poor speaker. Lenient grader. Study on your own.

Grading criteria is worst. He don't know how to grade. I scored 79% and got C because of the stupid grading.

He is very unorganized, not articulate about the subject, and is definitely not a public speaker. Doesn't seem to ever update his materials, some of which are wrong. Exams are repeats - easy to get a good mark, but you won't learn much unless you do extra research. I do not recommend you take this course.

The professor was not at all articulate. He had a very unprofessional attitude and seemed confused all the time. His grading criteria was very unclear. As this was a online course, i had very few interactions with him during the course. And some more before it. During this, i realized that the interactions were dull and not all productive.

He is so vague on what to do for assignments that his class becomes hard.

He insults you when you ask him questions. I was very uncomfortable with it. He is pointing out some students anytime and he expects us to answer.I did not have much algorithm background.I entered the first class, he asked all of us to write an alg. was the worst professor in my life I have ever faced. He only cares about grading. I am a phd math.

Worst professor I have ever took. Assignments are vague, no curving, no reviewing policy that he has before or after the exam. Worst if you go to his office hours. In exam if you do not circle your answer he will consider as the rough work you did is wrong or something. DONT take IT!!!!

Do NOT take it

Worst prof ever

Worst subject in my entire Master's course. Course is very ambiguous and professor is confused with the assignments he posts. Slides are the worst I've ever seen. I doubt if the professor knows anything about the subject. Don't expect any help from the professor even if the course is online. Extremely unclear and vague grading. Avoid at all costs.

Not worthy at all. Runs over the course material like a story. The class should have started from intro to Big(O) but he just assumed everyone knows it. Do Not take his class, wait for next semester if possible, as it is a core requirement for many CS classes.

The class is not evenly distributed making the class very difficult to follow. The professor assumes you know everything and doesn't start from the concepts of algorithms and big O. I don't know how university is so stringent about borrowing and copying notes while the professors blatantly borrow slides from other people and use it in the class.

His lecture is heavy and difficult to understand. His grading criteria is very worst. He doesnt explain the concepts clearly and expects you to answer in the class without proper understanding. My sincere advice, DONT TAKE HIM. He is the worst professor in the whole University.

I learned all the things by myself instead of his lecture slides. Terrible accent like a bass rapper.

Easy course but the professor is not upto the mark. He do not deliver the content properly but makes u practice well in the class. Thats where u learn in his class. He gets confused at times and makes things messy. Slides are too messy. He taxes heavily for small mistakes in exams that may ultimately cost ur grade. All he need is exact answers.

Meh teacher, not the best to understand maybe it was the online learning. Lectures are very dragged out, but the worst part are the homeworks/projects/tests. All his homework/project topics are very vague and you'll spend 2 hours figuring out what he means and then 20 actually doing the work. The test are very hard, and not from the slides.

Like everyone else said, he has extremely vague grading criteria and is very slow to answer emails (if he answers at all). Can be difficult to get ahold of him outside of class, and he is not receptive to when you don't understand something/when you have questions to ask. Maybe it was online lecture format, but I wouldn't recommend him.

He is fairly good at presenting concepts for this class and the topics arent mind bogglingly difficult. But he really doesnt care about his students at all. He doesnt respond to emails, purposefully made the exams so its incredibly hard to finish, and doesnt like answering questions. He gets the job done, but go to another prof if you can.

Horrible Professor . If you email him asking him something, he would actually write the most unprofessional email you can get from a professor. Gradings are haphazard & theres no rhyme or reason to it. And you cant ask any questions regarding your grade either. Avoid him if you can.

This professor is really unprofessional and irresponsible. He never intended to make students understanding topic, but just give them practice questions before they actually understand. He also write the question with wrong words for couple of time which contributes students losing point, but he never accepted student's complaining. Please avoid

Prof Gupta knows the material but structures his class very poorly. His assignments are incredibly vague and full of typos, making him come off as unprofessional. The exams aren't very difficult themselves, but it is impossible to predict what kinds of questions will be asked (aside from the broad topics list given), so grades can vary wildly.

Insanely vague with literally everything he does; you don't know what is going to be on exams, there is no clear idea what the assignments that he gives want you to do. He posts no materials online other than his slides. His assignments mostly start with "As we discussed in class, you will do thing" that he mentioned once and give no direction.

Took him for Computer Networks and thought he taught the course well. Took him for Digital Forensics this semester and had to withdraw. Most of his grades are based off a programming project which, if you do not know Linux file systems well, you are screwed. Lectures were extremely unfocused and difficult to follow.

Regretfully took him for CS6306 & he by far has been the worst professor at UTD. 3 Presentations & 3 random TryHackMe reports in addition to a Final Exam he decided to throw in just because he felt like it. Attendance is taken when he remembers & the entirety of the class is him reading off the ppt slides. No proper communication or help provided.

Bad Professor. Never replies to email and very inconsiderate.

nice guy but wish I withdrew from his class, no extra credit, tests make up 75% of ur grade and his tests are pretty hard (especially the first)

Horrible teaching etiquette, the professor gets angered easily and frequently begins to yell when frustrated. Has no sense of empathy for struggling students. His accent makes it hard to understand what he is saying and he is almost incomprehensible when reading his tests and assignments, which lead to a lot of misunderstandings. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Tough professor, doesn't curve. Exams are very hard, doesn't reply to any of my emails. AVOID.

Inaccessible outside of class, exams are very difficult. Avoid at all costs.

This professor has confusing homework assignments and are written in bad grammar. His exams are on paper and questions are all free responses. His lectures are boring as well and I couldn't really understand him.

He is punctual as he's always 5 minutes late and 10 minutes early to leave.Such efficiency gives rise to his higher pay by hour.He confuses with his trembling epen on screen, ensuring full attention.Speedy concept explanations make GPT your necessary tutor if you miss a min.While your coding won't improve, you'll learn what an interesting class is

Singlehandly made me leave the CS major. Traditional, unforgiving, and deeply unprofessional (test had a swathe of topics not specified beforehand).

You will not get much/any partial credit unless you memorize everything word for word. The slides were not uploaded until after many classes after covering the topic and were mostly copy pasted and hard to follow. The lectures were VERY hard to understand and downright confusing and unclear. Self study and memorize things if you can, but avoid.

This was one of the most poorly organized and taught classes at UTD that I have taken. I have had worse but this was really bad. The professor is caring but gives messy and hard to understand lectures. Tests were graded very harshly. It was not worth arguing in office hours. The concept is not hard but the class is. Self study if you can.

Awful experience with strange requirements in exams and classes

One the worst experinces ever at UTD. Messed up lectures, course not setup clearly. Tests are impossible to understand. Attempts to humilate students in front of class. Severely against the students. Nothing positive to say about him. Stay away to maintain your sanity.

The professor's heavy accent makes lectures hard to follow. Classes lack clear structure, as no PowerPoint slides are used. Exam rules are overly complicated and confusing, causing unnecessary stress for students.

If you care about your mental health don't take him. Grades really harshly. He takes out 3 points for not writing a single sentence even after doing everything else right on the same question. He once told me that I am not studying as much as other people in the class. Lectures are boring because he only goes over class. Exams are really hard.

Absolutely the worst professor I have ever taken at UT Dallas in all the years I have attended. Does not actually teach anything relevant and then expects everyone to be prepared for content on the exams and homeworks that was never explained. Reads off slides that do not pertain to the class work whatsoever. Prepare to fail.

makes class harder than it should be cold calls students & embarrasses them infront of class. gets irritated when asked to do more examples on the board hws are nothing like exams & irrelevant. exams are tough. class gave me PTSD & anxiety. Id have nightmares that he would call me out & humiliate me for not knowing. if u love yourself, dnt take him

The professor's accent can be challenging to understand for non-native speakers. It might be helpful to provide more written materials or visual cues to support comprehension. I feel like I'm in an advanced-level listening comprehension test every class. Sometimes I just nod and pray I'm nodding at the right moments.

A majority of the good reviews for this prof are 100% him on an alt. He is very condescending and unopen to suggestions with his teaching style. Exams/quizzes are ONLY free response with little partial credit. Asks many questions in class and when people answers he is mean to them. Definitely would not take him again. Why teach if you hate students

This is the only class that has make me lose hope at all. Two exams worth total of 50% and 3 quizzes where there is not partial credit. He would want an specific answer to a question no matter if you are correcect in general. MIght have to take this class again. He is also kind of rude when you ask him a question. Find better options please!
