His organization for each lecture is absolutely incredible. Each set of slides is always posted beforehand, recordings are uploaded, and notes are always posted afterwards. Should any student feel unconfident about information that is covred in class, it is so easy to go back and re-watch anything or look at the many resources posted to understand. Rosario also works closely with his TAs and creates really intentional homeworks, which makes the learning experience for this class so much better. I do think he lectures a little bit too fast and covers too much information, kind of expecting studetns to get it on the first time he mentioned it if he says it just once. It seems that he really understands students in a refreshing way that isn't seen with most other professors, however his teaching style definitely caters towards the type of people who hear one thing once and remember it completely making it kind of hard to keep up. That being said, this class isnt meant to be easy, and I think thats really clear -- you can still learn a lot even if you perform well. The other thing is that he is a really strict grader ... for someone who seems to try and come off as understanding to students his strict policies on regrades and grading in general kind of distance this idea that he cares about his students.

I cannot stress enough how terrible an individual this excuse for a professor is.

The top review here mentions Rosario wanting to be like Eggert. Well, he is not Eggert. He's not a particularly good lecturer and I feel his opinions on what is important to know in a course are fairly antithetical to Eggert's. But that is possibly the result of teaching a databases course. Anyways, the course itself is not hard if you put in effort and engage with the material (which, to be fair, I did not), and I thought the exams were reasonable for the most part. His final grades were also very generous (I scored median on both the midterm and the final).
