It's clear that he cares very much about the subject and prepares for class by going through the textbook and creating his own slides, and even finding programming projects to go along with the material. However, lectures end up just being him reading off of the slides without really explaining much. You can get more out of just reading the textbook on your own. Homeworks and exams felt completely different than lecture material, but they were straightforward and are essentially from the textbook examples. I would recommend watching Oppenheim's MIT lectures to get the most out of the material (no offense to Dr. Shayman, but the author of the book just does it better). Overall, nice guy but could be a much better lecturer. |

My biggest complaint with Dr. Shayman would be the homework/exam content. Lectures are mainly based off of concepts/definitions but the homework is generally tedious and barely covered by lecture. Discussion is essential to be able to even start some of the homework problems. Exams were not terrible but are similar to the homework with some question topics only being taught conceptually with little to no prior practice. To succeed you'll probably need to grind out problems similar to the ones on the homework. |

He's alright, he mostly just read off slides. Looking at testbanks for other professors for this course, his exams are significantly, significantly easier in terms of content being tested, but also be warned that he gives very little partial credit. |

Pretty happy overall with Shayman's teaching. Grading was fair. Wish more examples were worked in class. |

He puts no effort in, just reads off slides, assigns hw without teaching us how to solve problems. HORRIBLE |

Shayman is pretty decent. Lectures are followable and neatly written if a bit dry (like his throat). Homework was doable and kept you paced. Exams were fair/a bit tough but if you knew the material well you could do well. His pop quizzes were annoying, but they basically counted for nothing so it was no big deal. Plus his curve was pretty good. There might be better choices for 322 like Marcus, but I think Shayman is a pretty good option. |

Found his lectures difficult to follow and he's a little condescending when you ask questions. I heard this from a lot of people I talked to in my class as well. He doesn't seem to know how to explain things to students who don't immediately get it. |

Pretty good professor overall. Homeworks were very reasonable and he was very clear on what to expect on exams. Only downside is that his lectures will put you to sleep, although any professor teaching 324 might do the same. |

He's not a bad professor honestly. He does a good job of teaching you the material and can be quite helpful in his office hours. His lectures can be kind of dense, but that's just because of the nature of the course; there's a lot of material to cover. My biggest problem with this guy is that he gives absolutely no partial credit, which can really hurt you on the exams. The average in my honors section was a D going into the final because of this. If you get stuck with Shayman, you will learn a lot, but if you're worried about your GPA, I'd recommend someone else. |
