Khan is an atypical professor. He is a really savvy guy, I learned a lot from him, but it was a very non-traditional course. He does not follow the syllabus. He's also funny and entertaining. If you like structure and need to feel in control, he's not the professor for you, but the lessons he teaches will stick with you beyond a 3 hour course.

Prof Khan is one of the better UTD teachers. He offers real world experience and insight, and the group project allowed the students to work in teams on a real world problem. He understands students have lives outside of class and he was successful in the 3 classes I had engaging the students. If you cant do good in his class try Devry.

Khan's the best. Doesn't follow the syllabus closely; for example asked the students if they wanted a final or not. Lessons very practical, not too nitpicky. He's preparing you for a job, not a test. Some days he just has you copy code from the book to understand it better. Has lots of fun with the class. And infinitely preferable to Thompson!!

He always ask students how we want the exams to be scheduled whatnot. He teaches how cooperation work is out there not there to stress and kill students. He want his students to pass. I would say his lecture is not too bad, he goes over what is to be needed. Though his exam is not entirely what student expects, he is fair and give opportunity.

This class is hard, but not impossible. He does use another professor's lecture material, but he goes beyond with real life examples. He is very down to earth. If you have any questions, he will make sure you get it. Your grade is not purely based on quizzes/test/projects, it also matters that you participate. Best professor I have had thus far.

Great Professor, but the exams are on concepts that are much more difficult than what we went over. Projects are engaging, but take effort. He is a working professional before professor, so expect it to be more real world than academia, which I love, but the younger students hate since they are in "school" mindsets.

Great lecturer! Seems to really care that his students understand and are doing well. Will take criticism on how to be a better professor. Is fair about the projects. He made his class fun. The only complaint I have is that we got a little bit behind, but we did things no other class touch. And I feel like I came away better at designing projects

He's a great guy! You won't feel like you are learning much and you will be stress but he is caring and does want you to succeed in his class. He is very vague at times but participation matters and he gives you opportunities to make an A. When you are stressed you won't like him but he manages to come in the clutch.

The professor did everything he could for his students and ended up curving a little. He sat down with his students one by one to discuss their overall grade and see if there was room for any extra points. This class is A LOT of work but if you are willing to work for your grade then take him. This isn't a blow off class.

His tests are a mixture of free response and short answer. Participation really matters in his class.

He does care about the class and based on the class performance is how he curves

Khan's a good lecturer and helps you understand things better but you wont know know how you're doing until the end of the semester. There was no midterm and 2 semester projects so the last 2 weeks are really stressful because they're a majority of your grade. He tries to help students who ask questions & put effort so if that's you then take him

Professor is one of those professor who just try his best to help boost your grade, Homeworks are every week, no midterm, 2 of the most important projects that you can put on resume, and a final cumulative exam, his class is easy but you gotta put some effort.

Professor Khan is great if you are willing to put in the work. Yes, he doesn't spoon feed you everything, but he will give you the resources you need to learn. Exams are pretty tough, but if you understand the slides and do the hw yourself, you can definitely do well in the class.

Good if you want to actually be a developer someday. He assigns challenging projects that will help you learn so much practical and relevant skills that can be featured in your resume, and may even help you lend an internship.

Tough class, but professor Khan is caring. He will work with you, if you let him know you're struggling. This semester, he held a review session for the final exam and even ordered pizza for the students. Definitely a nice guy!

The class was easily the most time consuming one I had for the semester. However, the professor is willing to help constantly, so if you have a question, ask it. While you may feel overwhelmed with the workload, especially towards the end of the semester, you should be fine as long as you put in the effort he requires.

This is the first review I have ever done for a teacher. I did not think this professor was as bad as everyone says he is. I learned more from one lecture in his class than I did in any other CS classes combined. He has great lectures that are useful for tests and homework but you also have to be curious about the subject yourself and practice.

Khan is probably my favorite CS professor so far. His assignments are fair and go along with the lectures. It's not an easy class, but it will make you a better programmer. Work with him and he'll work with you.

I would highly recommend taking him! He is a funny professor and his lectures are always exciting with a lot of discussions. Quizzes are easy if go over the notes slides. The final was kinda similar to the exam review. The projects (2) and HW assignments (9) were tricky and took time but I learned a LOT of new concepts. Also taking him for CS 3345!

I really enjoyed Professor Khan's class. The quizes can be challenging, but if you review the powerpoint slides and class notes you'll do fine. The projects in his class are practical and will boost your resume. Participation in class discussions is important and keep the class entertaining. Im currently taking him again for CS 3345, no regrets.

If you can take 2336 with khan, for sure take him. He has improved in his teaching and organization skills and you will actually learn from his lectures. Quizzes are easy if you listen in class. Homeworks are straightforward.

This is one of the best professors you will ever take at this university. He really encourages you to learn more about the course material. Take him if you are really interested in becoming a software developer.

A true gem. If you really pay attention in his class, you'll know how to talk about data structures in interviews. The class involves a lot of discussions so get ready to speak up and participate. Pros: Good grade and learning from a great professor who truly cares. Cons: maybe a little disorganized but who isn't?

Khan is very passionate and knowledgeable within the topics that were discussed in this class. However, there were times in which the class material felt unorganized and inconsistent. Exams were fair and he curves the class in the end.

Pro khan is a easy-pass grader, he gave us up to 6% bonus after final grade. This professor have great assignment that really helpful to understand Web API and Swing/JavaFx, which you can use them on your resume. Attendance not mandatory even though on the syllabus it is . Class are not interesting ,so I depend on self-study. Gave good grade .

My friend spring 2019 told me do not take Khan no matter what, I ended up taking him and I learned a lot. I learned real skills that will transfer over into a job. I know all of the important classic algorithms and data structures.

He's intimidating at first, but turned out to be very generous. He gave us two projects that no other professor gives, they were kind of hard and time consuming, but now they're sitting on my resume. He will make you work, but from the lectures, industry talk, and projects, this class has been valuable to me. Just take him, you will learn a lot!

Very passionate about the subject. A lot of people on here just complain and don't put in any effort at all. Khan is very understanding and knows the database world very well. Grades pretty leniently and mainly cares that you are putting in effort.. Case may be different with classes other than Database Systems.

I enjoyed the way he teaches. I think the class was fair. I wish I had caught on to his teaching style earlier on. He will try to get you not to worry so much or get stressed about the class which I found helpful, but make sure you take the work seriously and submit everything. He won't dish out good grades for free. Study the power points.

The class is hard, but it's a 4000 level class, so what can you expect. He knows a lot about ML and conveys it with a lot of charisma. Recommended prof.

Khan is extremely disorganized and doesn't put in any test grades till the end of the semester. However, he is a really good lecturer and cares a lot about his students. Tests and projects aren't too hard or too easy. Gives a big curve at the end.

Professor Khan gets a bad wrap because not many people like to receive ambiguous coding assignments, but this is actually really good industry experience and Khan explains the algorithms/datastructures well. He also provides good curving

Don't worry if you have a bad grade. He curved my C- to an A+! Instead of focusing on the grade, focus on the professor: a hilarious man who knows how to explains concepts decently. His class environment has been my favorite I've ever had in college.

His teaching style is not one encountered often, but once you get used to it, you will really get to appreciate the class. You will definitely have to put in work but getting a good grade is very possible.

I can understand how some people don't like Khan, but he is a great professor. He knows what he's talking about. If you take the time to meet with him, he is extremely helpful. Be involved/engaged in lectures.

Not that bad. Taking him again for 3345

Actually, his project is so good, I was able to land an intern because of his project. Which is the thing we don't even learn in class. He is good!

Great professor just take him. May be a bit unorganized but teaches well, is smart, is fun, and listens to students' requests. You will get a good grade if you take him and you'll learn too. Have taken him 3 times will take him again.

I respect this man so much for teaching us stuff no other professors could. If you pay attention to his lecture and practice whatever he taught you you'll get a guaranteed A. I think he is the best CS professor in our school. His projects were technical but very interesting. Curves generously.

The content was interesting and the lectures were engaging as they required copying the code he types, but I wish that he would explain the theory behind the algorithms more and was more organized.

Take him for as many courses as you can. This man is a gem.

He is a good professor but forgets a lot. Sometimes he forgets to put up homeworks he even forgot we had an exam on the exam day, but he is clearly very interesting to listen during class. Just be ready for his every single lecture, make sure he recognizes your face don't be hesitant to ask him any questions because he won't respond to your emails.

If you want to learn Machine Learning well, then Khan is NOT the best option. You can still learn a bit well with him. Very low on workload and gives pretty hard exams. In-class assignments happen every single class so always show up to class and quickly type the code he writes. He can be disorganized at times, especially with exam dates

no idea why people hate khan. he is truly AMAZING. ignore all the stuff people say. no homework. just simple in class assingments where you write the same coding he is writing and submit. no work outside of classroom. easy exams. literally conceptual and theory-based. no coding in exam as you would expect in any other "machine learning" class.

VERY unstructured class, but he doesn't overload you with homework, his tests are over material covered in class, he provides lecture notes, and he lectures well; you can tell he is knowledgeable about the material, genuinely cares about his students, and enjoys his job. There are some ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL pop quizzes though (but look at my grade).

For lectures, he just shows up to class and wings it everyday; he can pull it off. He writes the lecture notes during the lecture. There are pop quizzes and in-class assignments that require attendance; the latter are not too hard. Light homework load, average difficult final. He expects you to have Lockdown Browser installed.

The professor can be a bit disorganized, but if you stay engaged and utilize resources like the textbook and Unstuckstudy for study prep, you'll do well. Manageable difficulty with a generous curve.

everything you've read online about him is probably true. Some parts of the course were a bit disorganized, but I also learned a lot. The projects were pretty interesting, and they make sure you understood the material. The exams have lots of multi-answer questions though, but there are curves. participation helps boost your grade as well

very good and fun lectures (made me want to never miss). Easy pop quizzes that count towards attendance. Midterm was hard, but Final was not bad. Participation matters and will help with curve. Don't be scared to take him just because his rating is bad, he makes data structures fun.

Dr. Khan is very unorthodox to other professors I've had. He doesn't follow slideshows and dumps knowledge based on his own experience, and exams and projects are very difficult if not prepared. However, his lectures are dense with useful information and he helped us to learn material better for the latter exams, overall very good professor.
