Will explain algorithms in detail.
Fair grader and willing to give second chances.
Cons: Somewhat monotone and sometimes goes off topic for extended periods of time.
Freshman year, I did not like Popyack. The lecture style environment is not his suit. When you have him in a more personal classroom, he is more descriptive and interesting. The AI class is really cool and teaches you some really neat underworkings of artificial intelligence. Take him, but be prepared to work with some very detailed algorithms.
Cons: Provides homework that no inexperienced student can understand. Sets no or useless examples in course notes. Provides work too frequently. Sets assignments due the night before an exam (creating no study time). Study guides for exams are useless.
I honestly love computer science, and I love what I've learned so far. However, with the amount of work Drexel gives to their student especially from computer science, it makes it extremely difficult to focus on any one subject. Studying has been extremely difficult. I have never had free time for myself for a single minute at Drexel.
Knows His Stuff
Very Approachable
Dedicated to Students
Dr. Popyack has made my freshman year awesome. He's really a great guy and an awesome teacher if you take the time to talk to him, go to office hours, and do the work he assigns. Many students don't understand because they take shortcuts or don't pay attention in lecture. If you're a good student, you'll be fine in any of his courses!
Cons: A lot of nights I was up until 5 or 6 in the morning working on homework. You really have to commit to this class. Sometimes, the TAs take forever to grade homework, and this was a problem at the end of the term.
The labs help
Cons: You will not do well in class if you don't have prior experience in programming.
Pro. Popyack is adroble! I don't get why people critsize how their professor looks. Seriously, are you guys paying attention in class or on your facebook and leave some random commons. I am a Game Art & Production major with very limited knowedge of C++. The exames are hard to me, mostly because there are always some blind spot I do not review on. The work load is intense. My advice is grap a friend who is good at C++ and do homework together. It will save you a lot of time.
Cons: Very dull and boring instructor, would not explain concepts well at all.
If you have no past experience with programming, then you will not do very well in the class. One of the worst "teach"ers i'v had. If you want to succeed, you will need to buy different books and read the textbook and learn it all on your own.
Would avoid his classes if I could
Cons: All the course material is from 2000.
Cons: THE HOMEWORK IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS. LIKE SERIOUSLY - FUCKING RIDICULOUS!
You will seriously find yourself spending DAYS on his bullshit homework. I understand that practice makes perfect, but he takes it to an extreme. You will literally need to set aside 16-20 hours a week for his stupid fucking programs. MOTHERFUCKER! Other than that, I would retake him.
Consider yourself warned.
Cons: Can't teach, will always get side tracked, don't expect to learn anything during lecture
I had to contact him for an interview for one of my English classes, and after talking to him, he is an extremely nice guy that is very helpful.
you suck! No really. You are an awesome person and everything but what made you become a professor anyway? You have a great sense of humor but it does no justice to your pathetic teaching ability. Okay, so you actually are GOOD at making homework assignments that are going to help us learn the information but do they really have to be as long and in depth as you make them? I don't think so. You frustrate me sometimes, Mr. Popyack, sitting on your laptop all period of Lab, doing nothing. I honestly think you should take up Mall Santa-ing because you definitely could pull that one off.
Sincerely,
A hard-working SE student.
p.s. - some of his tests are quite challenging but if you study and try, you can pass. Not a course you can just breeze through if you dont have any programing background.
