Took ITE 221 with Prof. Das at Alexandria campus. He is one of the best professors in NOVA. He is very knowledgeable in this field and knows the material well. Lectures are informative and easy to understand. If you show up to class, quizzes and exams are easy.
He gives a great class. Even though I am not at all interested in anything technological, he made the class fun so it was easy to pay attention. He is very easy going and if I had to take another IT class I would make sure to take it with him.
He is nice prof I have seen in NOVA
Even though the class was very easy he made it very fun and enjoyable. He is super friendly and is very knowledgeable on the subject so he can answer any question you have. He loves interacting with his students.
He was fun and had interesting stories about technology.
Professor Das is one of the best in NOVA. Hes knowledgeable in this filed and very helpful. Shares real-world experiences so learning from him is easy and fun. Lectures are never boring. Highly recommended.
He is a great professor. I learned more in this class than any other classes I took at NOVA.
This is my second semester at NOVA. I took ITE 115 with him last semester. He is the best professor at NOVA. I even changed my major to IT after I know him. I am taking ITN 100 with him this semester, You learn a lot from him.
Professor Das is very organized and comes prepared for lectures. He is approachable and responsive. If you email him, you'll get a response back quickly. Take his class if you want to learn everything about web development, html and css. Exams are not difficult if you attend class.
Prof. Dos requires outside of class studying; overall the class is easy as long as you actually dedicate the time to studying for the final exam.
Don't miss his lectures as he provides excellent in-class review for homework and tests. Professor Das is very smart and you can see that in his lectures and discussions. Had a lot of fun in this class.
OUTSTANDING!!! I can't explain in words how helpful this professor is. He goes out of his way to help students.
Finished ITE 115 this week and it was fun. Professor Das is a phenomenal teacher. Provides on-time and good feedback to help students. He's approachable and flexible. I would definitely like to take other classes with him.
You'll love Prof. Das/his class and learn something at the same time. Explains materials well and with details/examples. Makes the class interesting and fun to attend. I would recommend him to everybody.
Took ITN-100 with him last semester and learned a great deal. I'll also be taking ITE-221 with him next semester. Best professor of NOVA.
Prof. Das is one of the most helpful and easy going professors I ever had. You'll do just fine if you attend class and do homework. He gives good reviews before exams.
Computer science is difficult but Prof. Das makes it fun, interesting and easy to grasp with real-world examples. Attendance is required so you'll need to show up and pay attention. Highly recommended!
Best professor ever. Fun, knowledgeable, helpful and knows how to teach.
Very helpful and understanding professor. You'll learn a lot about real world IT. Don't miss class or be late because he doesn't like it when students walk in late.
Recommended professor
I trusted to the fake reviews. You cannot even miss a class or come 5 mins late to class because you would miss points for participation and quizzes in the beginning the class. There are 4 discussion boards 250 words ( 5 pt), 4 quizzes (5 pt), midterm presentation in the class (15 pt), computer research (10pt),.. It was my worst experience at NOVA.
He knowledgeable. He wants you to succeed. There are PowerPoints and class notes that he provides. He just lectures, write good notes. Book is not mandatory unless if you want to learn more. The book was useful for me bc we meet once a week only for 3 hours. He responds to emails quickly. I learned a lot; would take him again
Highly recommended if you want to kill your GPA and learn nothing.
Professor Das is very passionate and a great professor. He has a lot of knowledge in his field and helps students understand everything. His teaching skills are great! He replies to emails almost instantly and works with every student to help improvement. Would highly reccomend to everyone.
Great prof and I would take again. He is so kind and so clear in his lectures, its impossible to not pass his class. He gives clear reviews before exams and is just overall a great professor with passion for his field. I would recommend to all.
Prof Das is great at his job and gives great lectures. He works with every student to improve their grade and is very easy when ut comes to grading. He also gives great study sessions before exams. I would reccomend Prof Das to all, one of the best at NOVA.
All students agreed that it was a very tough final exam. Many students lost more than 10 points only for the final exam. That 's a good class for some students who want to pass the course.
Excellent teacher and good human being too. Clear and easy grading criteria. Go to class, do your homework ontime and you will pass with A. Don't miss final exam review.
Very fair, helpful, and good professor. All homework is done online so book is not used very much. Fun lectures and he's funny.
He was so helpful, let my class re-do work so many times if you were late. He has a good sense of humor and would do his best to explain work. You'll get past the accent he is understandable and a very nice guy. He is smart and if IT is your major he has lots of tips for you!
amazing teacher. Easy A. 4 discussion questions 4 quizzes, one paper, one mid-term and one final. Gives notes don't even have to write your own notes. The quiz questions and final exam questions come right from notes. The midterm is computer design which isn't hard because he gives you resources to use. He is very helpful if you need extra help .
Very knowledgeable professor of IT department. Homework assignments are straight forward and easy. Exams are directly from study guide.
No textbook needed, everything is online. This prof. is good for learning.
Easy class if you go to class and do assignments. Book is good to have but not required since he posts all chapter notes online. Final exam is worth 25% but he provides good review and study guide.
Hands down the best teacher in NOVA. Very straight forward teaching approach that makes it easy for students.
Prof. Das gives excellent lectures. I learned more IT, specifically software programming, in last eight weeks than my entire college life. He's approachable and more importantly a great teacher. 2 exams (review provided), 4 discussions, 10 easy chapter assignments.
This was my first class with this professor but will definitely take more in future.
One of the top professors in Alexandria campus. Easy going and approachable. Recommended for all IT classes.
Very good and understanding professor.
Great Pro. and an easy A!!!!!
He's always willing to help. I missed few classes due to medical emergency and he helped me get back on track. Take his class.
Great proff. knows a lot and makes class fun. Show up to class and do all the hw. He uses myitlab for hw. Final draft is a website from scratch.
Tough grader because many of quiz questions were vague and could be interpreted in 2 different ways. Even if you know both answers of question, you still guess to figure out what he wants as answer. Contact him after and he wont give points. Only class I took at NOVA where I knew most of the material and I am barely getting an A.
Good teacher and helpful. Exams are straight from review. 4 quizzes, midterm, final and some easy homework.
Such an amazing professor! I took his 8 week class and ended up with a B. There are 4 discussion board posts, 4 quizzes, for our midterm he allowed us to write a paper on any IT topic of our choice and present it to the class, and the final exam was very easy. He gives amazing advice for the IT world! Please take him :)
This is ur guy if u want a career in IT. Highly recommend!!!
Good teacher with practical knowledge.
Excellent professor. Good time management. Clear spoken - not difficult to hear or understand. He did a very good general review of coursework before tests that weren't just giving the answers. You'll learn in this class. Highly recommend him.
Great Professor! He spends a ton of time explain any topics students have a problem with and makes sure each student knows exactly what is required of them throughout the class. He is very smart and has a great sense of humor. If you want to enjoy learning I highly recommend taking this professor.
He is such a sweetheart. I would definitely take him again if my major was IT.
Hands down the best professor I have ever had in NOVA. Grades assignments on-time with useful feedback. Don't skip class and you will be alright.
Chill guy but too many readings and test was heavy.
Good professor and easy to approach. Gives extra created if needed to improve your final grade. Final exam and 4 small quizzes, no midterm exam.
Easy teacher. Homework and exams are straightforward from the textbook. Always willing to help students.
No helpful at all. He won't give you extra credit and he will give you few points in his weekly discussion board. Not recommended
This professor goes the extra mile to help students. He's easily one of the best professors at Annandale campus. Very smart and sharp unlike most teachers in academia.
A lot of reading; however you pay to learn not only for credit and diploma. homework and quizzes are very easy if you pay attention to him. He helps a lot and he gives AMAZING lectures if the subject is somewhat important. If he feels you are slacking on homework then he cuts points. he is very easy and straightforward and helpful. Take him!
excellent choice
He is very knowledgeable. His syllabus is very clear and he tries to help his students succeed. He is more than willing to answer any questions that you have and he tries his best to explain the topic. The homework is from the back of the book. I took the summer course and we had quizzes, hw , midterm and final. He does quiz and exam reviews prior.
Annadale IT professors are not the greatest in my experience but professor Das is an exception. He's one of the best I have seen here in NOVA. He's experienced, knowledgeable, and more importantly a super teacher. I highly recommend.
Take his class and you'll be happy.
Provides review before the exams. Pay attention in class and during review to get good grade in exams. Explains concepts well and in easy to understand way.
Happy to take this class with Professor Das.
Heavy test. Difficult discussion board
Very upfront about grading and participation. He's one of those teachers that wants students to be successful. Communicate your needs to him and he will go above and beyond to teach you. You MUST participate. Wish he taught more classes I need.
Good Professor and I will recommend take with him. He explains the class material very well. If you listen and pay attention on his lecture then you will be fine. I would strongly recommend you to read the book too for an A.
He's good and lectures are entertaining. Classes are mostly lectures and hands-on. He provides good exam reviews and as long as you take notes you're fine.
Prof. Das is great instructor. He provided notes for every chapter to help students understand the material. We had interesting topics for the discussion board. There are four quizzes, an all inclusive final exam, a midterm paper that had to related to IT, and a computer design paper. It helps to have a background in the topic for this class.
Here's the deal with Professor Das, Just don't act like a child in front of him! He hates students who show up and surf the internet and pay no attention in class! If you care about your future, professor Das will care for you. I spoke to him after class on some IT career advice and he was so helpful. Also, final is the biggest part of the class
He is the best! Take with him and of-course don't expect an easy A. Actually I got an A but I studied for it. He cares about his student. Thanks Pro. Das. I will take more class with him. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE HIS CLASS GUYS IF YOU WANT TO LEARN.
Best IT teacher ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is good. Take him.
knowledge and nice professor. teaches cloud concepts in easy way with many demos.
AMAZING PROFESSOR!
Very bad
I hated him for his disrespect to students
Very very bad
Very hateful
The best way to waste time and money
the worst professor
Terrible, he thinks hes funny but hes just awkward. He always talk about his college experiences from like 50 years ago and compares it to us. I would not recommend him, unless you absolutely need to take one of his course to get but even then Id rather not. Theres a lot of nonsense in his teachings
Took the class and didnt pass. He easily goes on tangents and if you laugh at his jokes hell keep making them. He shortens test times as short as possible because hes paranoid that well cheat and his excuse for that is because he used to cheat in college; that left a bad taste in my mouth from the moment I stepped in this class. Would not again
Good professor. Highly recommended.
I didn't learn anything, every question, as a multiple, you would find it on quizlet. I used this app (socratic) take a pic of the question and get an answer in 2 sec, so you can get an easy grade, but you aren't learning anything, and well, he prob couldn't do better. He only has 1 zoom class on the first day and never again after that so...
You might as well grab a book and teach yourself. The most minimal effort that youll find in a professor. His humor is terrible and youll hear more bad jokes than actual lessons being taught. Easy grade if youre looking for it but if youre trying to learn and not just google everything to find answers hes not your guy.
Good professor with clear syllabus and fun lectures. Class uses MindTap simulator for homework and lab assignments. He's super helpful.
Will always come late, but never allows your excuses to be accepted. I would not suggest
This was the most pointless class from the most uninspiring teacher ever. This class was once a week and literally lasted all of 15 minutes. Each class showed what the concept was and he called it a day. You would think the test be as easy but it isn't. Makes some bogus excuse to not review the exam. Youtube has better coding classes than this guy.
A lot of reading: textbook + AWS doc's. Labs follow online doc's and use your AWS account. May get charged. He does not use AWS Academy. Review session for the final was helpful. The professor is super nice. Happy to answer questions. He uses outdated textbook & doc's for the labs. He is unprepared for the lectures, and is not up to date with AWS.
Graded everything superlate in the semester, last exam incorrectly described, regularpaced class yet first couple weeks made us do several modules perweek as if it were fastpaced, fixed workload but failed to set duedates even tho theyre due sundays. Got an A bc I like coding and taught myself using given interactive presentations. accessible email
Very smart professor with a lot of industry knowledge. He's easily the best teacher I ever had at NOVA. Take his course if you want a career in IT.
All information is through a textbook. He goes over the chapters with a PowerPoint each class, but ends up skipping over half the slides. He was late to grade work and missed a few Zoom classes. However, he did allow late/readjusted homework/midterm. He is a very considerate prof, but if you actually want to learn, this is not the class for you.
He doesn't not stand by his syllabus, takes weeks to grade and does not respond to emails, and if you insist he will finally respond, make and empty promise and disappear again, he gave me a lot of headache so far and I regret taking his class, if you care about your mental health, stay away, he is very unprofessional and does not care.
Horrible experience, run away if you can, otherwise you will regret.
I do not like this professor. He never got back to any emails, and even waited me out, to talk about grades on a midterm even until the final exam. This was an asynchronous class, and I had to go to the Dean in response to this inexcusable behavior. DO NOT take this professor, as he obviously does not care for his students.
Let me start off with saying this was a fully online asynchronous course so take that with a grain of salt. But this Prof. Das takes almost 1000 years to grade any assignments. Beware if you take this course how long he'll take to grade assignments and the wait time it'll take for him to respond to an email which ranges from a day to 3 weeks.
This professor almost never responds to emails or questions in a timely manner, and in addition to this he does not grade assignments until the end of the course.
Prof. Das was a great prof. he does take a while to respond to emails but overall besides that point he was a good prof. i would recommend taking him.
This professor can be hit-or-miss. While his lectures aren't the most engaging, using Unstuck ai and the free textbook helped me do well. Definitely recommended if you're looking for an easy A.
Amazing accounting profesor, wants u to pass the class has pre recorded lectures to help more, very flexible, wants all his students to pass.
