Take the course with him without hesitation - **2020-08** — It's an interesting course - **2019-08** — Wadi is very good at explaining and will prepare you best for the rest of the curriculum - **2019-08** — Speaking from what i think of him: He can get boring, but he is a good teacher. but he can get very detailed when it comes to correcting exams knowing that its an open book/notes/previouses exam. - **2019-08** — CMPS 211 with Jureidini is fine enno he gets his questions from preiouses w his quizzes are out of 140 or anything > 100. So if you're lucky he'll fix it to 100 instead of doing a raise. - **2019-08** — if you're gonna take cmps with wadii, you're gonna hate him for his explanation and his exams but his raise is worth it - **2019-08** — Wadi is very good at explaining. If you are a CCE/ECE or Computer Science major then CMPS211 would be better, since it is tailored more towards algorithms. ## See also - [All Computer Science courses at AUB](https://studiety.com/aub/subject/computer-science.md) - [Every AUB subject](https://studiety.com/aub/subjects.md) --- From Studiety (https://studiety.com/), an independent, student-run course guide.
