Overall quality: 4.85/5
A few of the students' comments:
-great lectures!
-The professor has brought together a great deal of material and sort of customized it for breadth and depth, to optimize students' gain from the class. It is just enough to learn a lot of advanced material and be able to work with it in the future if desirable (and bypasses the tedious/time-expensive/overly rigorous approach).

A few of the students' comments:
- Professor is clearly very knowledgeable on the subject, and wrote lots of additional notes in order to prove concepts and explain them.
- The course was extremely well-paced and well-researched. The professor is very patient, approachable, and thorough. He would make sure to pause several times in his lectures to take questions and ensure that everyone in class was keeping-up. He was very understanding of students' workload and worked around the accelerated 6-week term. Of the 9 courses I have   taken at Columbia, he has been the best instructor in terms of lectures, course curation, breaking-down difficult concepts, and including just the right mix of theory and application.
- Professor Javad is so patient with every question. He delivers amazing lectures! It's been a great journey learning with Professor Javad!
