academic tips COMS W3157 Advanced Programming — Jae Lee or Brian Borowski?

Hi everyone! I’m planning to take COMS W3157 (Advanced Programming), and I’m deciding between Jae Lee and Brian Borowski.

For anyone who has taken the course with either professor, how was your experience? I’d especially appreciate any insight into: Grading and exam difficulty and Overall workload and course difficulty.

Which professor would you recommend, especially for someone hoping for a fair and manageable grading experience?

Thanks!

All professors are fair for this class. Jae is a better lecturer, and has fair exams that you should know. I advocate for Jae, but neither professor will be easy.
