Pros: *class was only 2 days a week
Cons: *short-tempered with students
*unreasonable expectations of material to master
*vague and highly-technical vocabulary used in lecture AND his textbook
*grades quizzes/test with extreme scrutiny, and basically marks off points if you don't word questions exactly as he would and with correct spelling
*does not teach linear programming with computers (do it by hand like it's still the mid 1900s)
*trick questions on tests (material that was not covered and/or not suggested to study up on)
*despite extreme difficulty of the course, no curve whatsoever
Paris, and other profs like him, are the reason why the UCD undergraduate program is of such awful quality and leaves a lot to be desired. I entered this school thinking I would become prepared for a job in my field of study, but soon found out education is simply big business with more focus on research professors like Paris, and less on the students.

Pros: Informative class
Cons: Extremely difficult to understand with this professor. Uses his own book, which was published in the early 1990s.
Tough class. Recommend taking with another professor.
