A very chill, relaxed professor, Memon has a laisez faire approach to teaching. The project is on you and in order to do well you have to stay motivated, attend class, and work effectively in your team. The exams are really easy and the quizzes are fairly simple if you study. I greatly enjoyed this class, but at times I felt that Memon could be more straightforward and helpful by providing more information about certain topics. He would usually answer any student questions by addressing the entire class and relying on other members of the class, but this may be because he is promoting a do-it-yourself attitude for software engineering. I learned a lot about subversioning systems, teamwork, and the software engineering process that has been very useful in my career. Great professor, I would definitely recommend him. |

Very good teacher, you will definitely learn a lot from him. He keeps class light and interesting, constantly forces class members to go up to the board and do examples. Makes sure you're learning and not just losing him. Also VERY approachable. The drawback I had were his tests. If you want to do well on his tests, be prepared to hang around his office every day and do tons and TONS of extra problems. The average grade on our first test was something like a 28. His TAs were also really good, but there were several problems with project descriptions/testing (which the TAs were in charge of). It was all resolved, however, and they were generally lenient when they messed up. Overall, Id certainly recommend this guy. |

He's a great professor. I had him for CMSC330, and he tells good jokes, keeps class interesting, and is an effective teacher. I really felt like a learned a *lot* in the course, and the class will probably be very useful to things I do in the future. During the semester, I only missed one lecture (and I wish I didn't even miss that one), because the lectures were always engaging and informative. The one drawback is that he does not use the grades server, but this is a minor one. He is very approachable. Highly recommended. |
