He is lenient in grading, you can receive a very high mark if you understand the course topics. The midterm 1's weight will be passed into midterm 2 if it midterm 2 is higer and same logic apply to final. He is not very good at explaining the concept, but very friendly and accessible outside the classroom. If you want a high mark, choose him.

It's strange reading through the comments here, I thought I had the wrong person. I've really enjoyed Muntaseer's classes. he clearly genuinely cares about his students and I really like his teaching style.

Makes you LOVE Computer Science!

nice professor. Stays after office hours to help. But you have to make it on time. If you are willing to seek help. Also you have to work hard to get desired. Warning: 1150 is an exam heavy course. Seek help from professors and do well on exams.

One of the few CPSC instructors at Langara that seem to actually care if you are doing well in the course. Very approachable and even created more resources to help students do well in the course. Though you might not enjoy his teaching style since he tries to get the entire class to participate. Do the assignments, it'll help with the exams a lot.

he is a real gem. He makes you participate in the class. Usually i hesitate in asking questions and giving answers in class but i am amazed how he made me interact with him during the lectures. he explains everything very well. Easily accessible outside. Motivates you. Overall, take him. You will not regret. :)

I am shocked seeing these reviews. He is completely opposite. I wish i could change these reviews and give him 5/5. Amazing teacher.

if you want learn pich him. he is amazing. upgraded, loves to teach u. prepared for class. you will never bored at his class

No idea why Muntaseer is rated so poorly. He's really helpful during office hours and he cares about his students and wants them to learn. If you've never done any programming before (like me), this class will be quite hard, but putting in the extra time and effort is worth it.

Great experience taking his course! Lectures consist of coding in real-time (note: lecture delivered online) so we could follow along with him. Frequently gets the class to participate to ensure we understand the concepts. Tons of opportunities for bonus marks on assignments, and previous exam scores can be upgraded if you do better in later exams.

Muntaseer's lectures are very interesting and interactive as they should be for every computer science class. His teaching method is EXTREMELY step by step and will give you an excellent introduction to programming if you are a beginner like me. I will admit that some of his questions can be a bit hard but he gives lots of opportunities to do well

Ask him to teach you about unique pointers when you cover the pointers topic. Muntaseer is one of the best prof, I have ever talk to after Jamie. I took 1150 with him as well, when I saw he was teaching 1160. I closed my eyes and chose him. 1160 is def harder that 1150, so get ready to read and code :)

One of the nicest teachers you will ever have! Do all of the two star problems!!!!!!!!

Honestly a good guy. He won't make it easy for you but there's a proven method. Show up to class and participate, complete 2star problems like he said and you should do well. He can get a little off topic when he teaches some times which cuts into actual learning but he'll always help in office hours. Good guy overall.

A very good professor. He explains very well that we understand the purpose of using different methods. Tough grader but easy to score if we attend all of his classes.

First, you need to participate Muntaseer's lectures. Second, read the course materials and best part is he provides his code. So compile it and understand it. All the assignments/labs marked on time, and this surprises me a lot. Third, hard course do not underestimate it.

He is a fantastic teacher. He gives meticulous lectures, explains things from the bottom of computer architecture, and shows real-world examples of algorithms and data structures. HWs are decent and exams require preps before writing them yet they are fair enough. The final is harder than the midterms. Overall the best cs instructor I've met ever.

Great professor. I think I am going to have to take this course again; if I am able to, I would choose to take it again with Salahuddin Muntaseer.

His lectures were easy to follow and he always provided help when you needed it.

Muntaseer is an amazing professor. He records every classes and you can attend on zoom if you want. The exams are harder than what you do in class or assignments. He is a great resource and answers every single question. He asks a lot of questions to make sure everyone is understanding. Overall, highly recommended.

THE BEST INSTRUCTOR I've ever met in Langara's CS department. If you have the opportunity to take a course with him, PLEASE DO! And make sure to attend his office hours as he puts in a lot of effort to ensure your understanding. I wish I had him as an instructor earlier; it'd have made my school life much more enjoyable.

Salahuddin is really good instructor. He can explain very hard definition clearly, really good at his course. However, we (my friends and I took the course together) found out that marks are not marked on time for assignments. If it can release on time, it can help us a lot. Overall, recommend this instructor.

It was the most interesting programming course I took! His lectures really helped me understand difficult C++ concepts and grasp programming at a deeper level. Some of the things I had memorized from other courses finally made sense with his explanations. He is funny, always happy to help and really cares about students.

Muntaseer explains everything in detail. Overall a good instructor, but you need to work hard to achieve the grade you want.

He's an exceptionally good teacher, always caring for his students, disposed to help us, and answer our questions. The course itself is difficult, especially for us who are just starting. It's important that you study hard if you want a good grade, but what matters most to me is that I've learned a lot, and I'm very satisfied with the course.

He offers a lot of support besides the classes, such as recorded lectures and a lot of office hours.

This teacher helped go in-depth and gave excellent explanations of tough concepts. He also cares a lot about his students and makes time to help out students during his office hours often time staying longer than his hours. I also appreciate the real-world examples he often gives during his lecture which makes the class a lot more interesting.

Overall highly recommend. 2 things I absolutely appreciated: 1. lectures are recorded for reviews, and 2. the prof asks insightful leading questions in class to help us understand the concepts and shape the way we approach problems, which I haven't seen in a lot of other profs I've had before. Great not just at coding but teaching.

He is great. He puts so much effort for his students to learn and grow.

I feel lucky to have taken this course with him because he taught difficult data structures in great detail, making them understandable. And I could always go back to recorded lectures and i could attend the classes on zoom. I always felt welcomed at his office hours. He genuinely wants to help his students, and he is a really great instructor.

I appreciated how Muntaseer asked questions that connected topics from other courses and explained things in a way that made me want to participate. He knows the course is difficult and provides lots of resources. The lectures can go very deep into the concepts and coding but luckily he records them. Make sure to complete the assignments on time.

He expects you to know materials from pre reqs. If you don't he may get annoyed. But if you ask him about materials from his course, he's very patient to explain topics. Very accessible outside of class, records lectures and let us access them after the class. Clear lectures, patient guy (just make sure YK the prerequisites materials tho)

Muntaseer is one of the best CS profs at Langara. He definitely cares about students, and is extremely accessible with high quality office hours. His English is fluent and lectures feel full/complete (and get posted online). Offers extra insight beyond class material. You will NEVER be confused, but I could see how his style isn't for everyone.

Muntaseer's charisma really engaged our class, and the energy went way up as people participated. He encourages youto try even if you aren't sure how to solve a problem, and walks you through it if you get confused. I really enjoyed the classes and the assignments. Use the textbook - the exams can be very difficult if you don't study and practice!

He's a good professor with a clear and concise teaching style. He explains things in a way that is comprehensible and easy to follow through. However, the assignments and midterms were marked very late. The exams are fair as long as you've done the textbook work and all the labs. Solid 7.5

Best professor.Just take this professor without any second thought, he inspires a lot and ready to help anytime.

Very nice and clear

What a great teacher. He really cares about his students. Best computer science prof Ive had so far. Super caring. Wish I could give him 100 stars. Really made the class fun.

Favorite professor at Langara! He truly wants you to succeed beyond the class. Shares tons of practice and organized LeetCode sets. If you're just aiming to pass, I'd suggest taking someone else—you'd only be wasting both your time and his. He also has a nerdy, dorky sense of humor. If that's your vibe, his classes are genuinely fun to attend. :)

Amazing prof! Lectures are super clear and always recorded. He makes tough concepts feel easy to understand. Participation matters but helps keep you engaged. Always happy to help and answers questions patiently. Highly recommend taking his class if you want to actually learn and enjoy the course!

Great; highly recommended

He is very helpful and available for you even if his office hours are over, if you want to learn he is ready to give you more time. He also take some quizzes in class for participation mark, so it's beneficial to attend class daily as it's easy to get marks in that

One of the best professors i've had. He's really patient and passionate teacher. He took the time to break down concepts and problems so i could understand them, because it wasn't clicking for me, and it really helped me learn. It really helps that he records the lectures too. He also encourages you not get frustrated.

One of the best profs Ive had. Hes passionate, making lectures entertaining, briefly explains nontested topics that arent taught in school unless you do your own research to deepen understanding and makes tough concepts like time complexity easy. Generous office hrs, curates and provides helpful resources, & genuinely wants his students to succeed.

Munt is the goat for DSA. The people who are giving out bad reviews is because they do not have prior knowledge of C++. If you are planning to take this course, make sure you have prior C++ knowledge otherwise this course will be hard. Use abdual bari for reccurence relations and the cherno to learn C++ . Solid professor, would take again

One individual can't seem to know what gaslighting means lol. I'm telling people to know basic C++ beforehand so you do not STRUGGLE in this course. This course is hard for many reasons. YOU need to put in the extra work to get a good mark. If that offends you, redo it again and swallow your pride.

His lectures can sometimes be boring but he does upload them online so that's a plus. The quizzes and labs are good for preparing you for the exams but make sure you do the exercises he provides in the resources. other than that solid professor.

Hes a really genuine, nice, and passionate prof. He loves to help students and everything in this class is uploaded so you can access it outside. Only downside is his lectures, which are really long and a bit arduous.
