His explinations in class are very clear. He manages to explain the material very well. Though he tests very hard, and gives 5 question sudden death quizzes.

Basically when you dont understand your homework or how to do it, just go to the tutor for like 20 mins and start it out. then just go to his office and he will do the rest of the hw for you.

Good work! Keep going.

Very upbeat and interesting class. He is very fair with the amount of work he assigns and how he grades. Take this class.

A very systematic person. He likes things to be very perfect and neat.

I find your class to be very interesting. Being a working IT professional, I wish more managers would follow your advise and get more involved in IT. Also I've gotten several ideas from your class.

Smart, handsome, and very friendly to help students in learning. Good at explaining questions! However, little cases outside the book have been discussed in class, and the way to evaluate group work is not fair enough!

He is very helpful and makes a subject confusing and boring to most of the class more exciting because of his energy. It's an enjoyable class.

Very good instructor, wish there were more like him!

Great teacher all around. He is a great speaker, and he really cares about his class. He will help you out with anything if you ask.

Great Professor, display care and concern for students understanding of subject to ensure the quality of subject.

Excellent professor. Very organized and a good lecturer. Policies tend to be strict but fair.

Great job!

Very good professor. Cares about the students and is easy to understand. Doesn't put unwanted stress on students but still gets them to learn.

The motivation and real life examples help to make information technology fun! This is a difficult subject, however the professor does an excellent job keeping students interest as well as encouraging participation.

The grading is difficult, but generally fair. It is nice to have assignments due on Friday for extra time. There is a lot of assignment which helps your grade. It is difficult to have group members who you don't know because I know I have had difficulty getting them to do their half of the work. The exams are fair, simple, and to the point.

Excellent professor. Tests are easy if you can memorize, but he is a bit more strict on the essay assignments. He is easy to understand, very knowledgable, helpful, and accommodating. If you have a chance, sign up for his section before it fills!

very enthusiatic and interesting.

I took this class online and during one of the summer session. Even for a summer session the pace was great. He has you do participation assigments, PP presentations, and quizs. All which are really easy. The final is on campus and it is closed note and book. Overall if you are not a class goer take this online.

He's Polish and easy to understand. He helps out with any questions and homework and quizzes are online, which makes the assignments relatively easy. The tests are 50 multiple choice and true/false questions. Definitely a good teacher.

This teacher is the best teacher i've ever had! He's the youngest faculty, thus understands us students very well! Let me tell u, this is NOT an easy class. Book is a MUST read. 1 midterm & final (50MC each). If u study u should be ok. He curved a lil in end so tats good. Online open book quiz each week (easy). Best teacher i've ever taken at CSUF.

I admire this Teacher a lot b/c he is genuinely in love w/ his subject. he wants you to know about it. not for school but b/c it is relevant. he is a good guy and will help if you need it (which you prob wont)do the weekly hw (easy) and tests(2)are easy if you study a couple days before hand. WOULD DEF RECCOMMEND!!

easy class...easy tests...great teacher, really knowledgable...

Excellent class and excellent teacher! What's in his head that he chooses to share is more valuable than what's in the book. However, READ the book for a good grade. He tends to go off on a tangent, but his topics are all very intersting and useful. Highly recommended

I have to admit that he is great teacher. He explained the material where it made sense and was very helpful. I took his class the first part of the summer session.The best choice I made, would take him again for a different class.

One of the most generous and nicest teachers I have ever had. He genuinely wants everyone to pass and will help you in any way he can. The subject itself is difficult and requires a lot of work and studying. Do all the homework and quizzes, it will help on the exams. He is reasonable and will probably curve but as long as you do your part.

I just finished my final and got my grade for the entire semester on the same night. Dr. K loves to talk, enuf said. There is a sign in sheet, 5 homework assignments, 12 quizes, one midterm, and one final. I got a D on the midterm, B on final, missed 3 homework, averaged a 17/20 on quizes and passed the class. Hard at first, but gets easy at end.

very great teacher for this course!! the hw, and quizzes are all online and are EASY points in the class. miderm and a final...final wasn't cumulative. and the test are questions straight from the hw. he gives extra credit...its sooo easy to pass the class!! if you work hard u can get an A or B EASY!

don't me scared off by the comments below ok so this is a very tough subject but dr. k made it a lot easier than i had expected it to be. i took the class over the summer and it was very fast paced he uses the entire class time and really wants to help you learn. home work and practice questions are almost exactly the same as exams

Definitely expects you to know the details of the subject he's teaching. Very willing to help with homework as long as you attempt before his office hours. Also willing to spend time helping to clarify the material, as long as you read the book before asking for help. In the end you get out of his class what you put in.

Youthful and energetic. Extremely fair and approachable

Dr. K is good at explaining subjects and instilling interest in said subjects to students. He is very helpful when questions are asked. Better clarification of requirements of assignments is needed and if there are changes, getting them early would help as well. He is one of the best professors I have ever had.

This is an online class so everything is from a book.

Great prof. I'm a repeat customer for ISDS 361A & u definitely want to make him ur choice. Avoid Ram Singhania at all costs. Prof. K. loves stats which has the effect of making u enjoy learning about it. Loves Excel instead of tedious & cumbersome hand calculations. Does Excel formulas extrmly fast though. Test ?'s mirror HW & online quizzes. Fab!

The course is very hard, no doubt. I passed with a C, but that was due to the lack of time I committed to the course. If you do all the practice problems he recommends and go to his office hours when you need help, you should be able to score at least a B or better. I would take him again if he taught other ISDS courses for undergraduates!

Utterly boring, prof Soper normally teaches the course. He eats up every second of time possible, and rambles and repeats. Steer Clear if possible

This class is tough. Out of my 4 classes for the semester, I dedicated most of my time in this class and worked really hard. Ended up with a C while I get B's for the other classes. Read the book. Don't rely too much on lecture because you will be clueless. Quiz every week and its not easy. Exams require lots of studying; you'll be lucky to get a B

Dr. K is tough and his exams are brutal, but I took him over the summer, which was catastrophic. Print out powerpoints and jot down GOOD notes.Refer to textbook for clearer concepts. He doesn't curve, doesn't allow notes during exams, and doesn't supply solutions to review problems which blows,but he's post excel notes which is AMAZINGLY helpful!!

This is a very hard subject. I think 50% is because of the professor. Homework and Quizzes are submitted online. If you need help with homework, good luck, because he won't tell you if you're right or wrong (even though it is homework), so you don't know if you are on the right track. The only helpful thing is his Excel notes (very helpful).

Smart, handsome and kind. He very loves the subject he's teaching, and really cares about students. Prof.K is very considerate helping you with your homework. I will definitely take him again. :)

The online class is so hard..he gives study question for the exam but provides no answer or solution.So you don't even know where you got wrong.

1 midterm, 1 final, 12 quizzes(drops 2), 5 hw assignments. Gives you a video lecture of him reading powerpoint slides. Not really helpful. Skip to the examples. No solution for hw so GL. Exams are straight out of the study guide with #'s changed. Do well on hw, quizzes, and midterm and you can get a c or b in class. Final was a lot more difficult.

He's friendly and an easy grader. I emailed a lot with a bunch of questions and he was always helpful. You have group project to work on the second half. I felt that the lectures can almost take the place of reading, but I didn't use the practice quizzes and didn't review enough for the midterm, so it's my fault I didn't get a better grade!

He is a really nice and helpful guy with a pleasant accent. For the lectures he just read the PPT slides from the textbook's publisher which wasn't helpful. Also, the textbook was very dry. What WAS of value in this course were the projects. I learned a lot from those. The final was difficult, so try to do well on group projects to balance it out.

His online lectures are super long, but very helpful, so if you don't want to spend time reading the extremely confusing book that I barely crack open, try to spend at least 2 hoursweek watching his online lectures. He also lets you know what to expect in exams so just try to do his study guide, you'll be good to go in the in-class exams.

Great professor. Online class. Straightforward. Easy A

Took class online during summer (5 weeks). 2-3 chapters a wk, quizzes each wk, 2 mini cases and 1 project that built on what you are learning. Midterm and Final, open notes closed book - "wet notes" you had to write out everything you wanted. Extremely helpful if you get stuck and very responsive to emails. Watch the videos and do practice problems

Dr. K is very generous and gives response when you need help. Though I messed up in the Mid term exam, he guided in project and got A. Hard work is necessary to pass the course. Listen to him and follow the instructions are key to success in his class.

This class is pretty much all group projects, so make sure you get a good group, if not you are in for one long semester. Professor K was really nice and was always available to answer any questions, the 13 chapter final was definitely not fun, I got an A on it, but be prepared to read the entire textbook and study with no study guide.

The class is half Excel functions, half the Solver add-in of Excel. Lectures are clear and straightforward. Homework assignments build on the lectures. Exams are open note and exactly like the easier questions of the lectures and homework. If you can do the homework, you can get A's on exams. 42% homework (7 total), 29% midterm, 29% final.

Took her Spring 19. Really enjoyed this class. The concepts are some what difficult but she does a good job explaining. Would definitely help to take notes during class.

The best professor that I've had at this school. His classes are a lot of work, but if you put in the time, you will get the grade you deserve. It's simple, do what he says to do, and you will get an "A."

The lectures are easy to follow. If you watch the lectures and do the hw's you will get a good grade on your exams since that's what they are based on. If you need help make sure you check his weekly availability calendar and schedule your meeting. I had a few and he was very helpful at explaining what I was missing or not doing correctly.

The professor wants everything to be perfect. He is not flexible. However, his materials are great and helpful.

Great professor. I started the class with no knowledge of Postgresql. I ended up knowing a lot and was able to create databases and queries. I learned to identify errors in codes and fix them. Everything is organized in the class. The professor makes it easy to learn. Follow the professor's guidelines and watch the lectures to learn.

Solid professor! Finished the class with a 98%. He teaches real-life stuff rather than theory from textbooks. This was a summer class, but I learned more SQL and R than ISDS 555 with other professor. Easy A if you follow his lecture and do the work. He responded to the email quickly. The only complaint is he can be vague in his emails/responses.

Good class, good professor.

This is the best professor I've taken at CSUF. His lectures cover what's on the homework, you do need to put in time and effort to get a good grade. He cares about his students, if you have questions or concerns, he responds quickly. I'd take his class again.

Straightforward and accessible.

The professor is pretty chill and very quick to respond to emails. However, this is not an easy class. I suggest being in a class Discord to help each other, because homework can be tricky. 7 homework assignments, 2 midterms, 1 final. Exams are open note, but if you study the homework in depth, you'll be just fine.
