Grade is not an issue with this professor but communication equal ZERO. Her lack of communication is EXTREMELY frustrating and never does anything on time. Honestly, she is THE MOST laziest professor I've ever dealt with at NOVA.

Verrrry irresponsible! Crack!! Crack!!

very very very very hard and also bad looking

she is the WORST TEACHER..she looses all your work and when you confront her she acts like nothing HAPPENED...DONT TAKE HER..SHE IS NOT EASY..TAKE PROFESSOR NOOR OR PROFESSOR SOLEYMANI..THIS LADY DOESNT KNOW WHO TURNED IN WORK AND WHO DIDNT

This professor seems to not care about her students or her appearance. She always came to class late and left early. Her test were pretty easy if you had computer knowledge before taking the class. If you ask her a question make sure you do it on the outside of class, or maybe after class. She seems to get upset, but eassssy A

She is the worst teacher ever, she is so strict with grades. she knows about programing a lot, but she doesn't know how to teach at all. not helpful and a rude teacher

I will not recommend this professor to anybody Even to my worst enemy.

She does not have any contact information and is very un-helpful. She does not return emails or is never available in her office. She appears to be there just for a payday.

Never take this Professor. She will never help you, instead she will ask you to call IT helpdesk for your problem. She doesn't know how to teach at all! All the work is done by students without any instructions and she always remain on call for a long time instead of helping students. I will never recommend this Professor! Do not sign up for her!

In reality, the positive comments on this page are most likely the instructor, that's how bad of a teacher she is. Avoid this class at all costs.

If you guys want to learn something than don't her. SHE IS SUPPER LAZZY. Even though I got B in her class but honestly speaking did not learn any thing...PLEASE DON"T TAKE HER

My Question is why is she still teaching period. First of all she is very Rude Doesn't know that NOVA is community college and she expects 100% attendance and she Thinks that your taking the class for credit only She shouts in class like she is talking to a high school kid forgetting her professional manner.

This lady is a very bad teacher! She knows how to do the work but cant present it in a way for us to learn it. She is very rude and basically if you have a question she just tells you its in the book go find it. Do not take her!

Quite possibly the worst instructor for this subject. She will leave you in the dust if you're there to learn. Office/help hours are nonexistent.

I get confuse when she teaches

If you really are an average student, You will definitely get a C or a D. Please DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF you want to keep your GPA up because the teacher is the hardest I EVER MET. The material is not hard but he MAKES EVERYTHING HARD. And before class there is a quiz on the chapter that you have not even studied yet in class.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS LADY. PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU IF YOU ARE READING THIS! Save yourself a headache and a bad GPA!!!! I am literally begging anyone who reads this. Save yourself while you still have a chance.

I was terribly frustrated with my ITP-100 instructor. They were: - Inconsistent with grading timeliness - Doesn't keep to syllabus dates - Doesn't respond to emails in a timely manner, if at all. - Does not provide guidance for trouble with the material. Once the Dean got involved it was a bit better, but too little too late to "earn" more than a C

I am not exaggerating when I say that Professor Chamlou is one of the worst teachers I have ever had . Often, class would begin with a guest speaker, followed by a quiz. She would then leave the classroom for "lab time". She rarely lectured on her own. She assigned a web design project without teaching students HTML coding. You will learn nothing.

Lectures are all over the place. At test time she tells you to study your notes which are on content irrelevant to the tests. I got a B because I've had prior experience with coding but for 1st timers, you should find a different professor. Only benefit is that she gives you her cellphone number and makes herself very accessible.

The worst teacher ever, DO NOT take any class with her.

She'll throw an html assignment at you with a tutorial and you'll have to sit thru her boring "lectures".

Well, what I learned from this "professor" is that some people should never be given an opportunity to teach other and it is crucial to understand in depth what you are trying to teach. Besides her complicated attitude towards her student, her dis-respectfulness is beyond your imagination. Stay Away from her >>>

I took a class with her last spring,she is very sweet but she doesn't teach anything, you will do everything by yourself. homework and quizzes every class. she is the worst professor I ever had IN nova.

I can't mention this enough, if you are a humble student just trying to complete a credit, DO NOT PICK THIS PROFESSOR. I might as well have only taken this class this semester just so I could at least try to teach myself HOW TO CODE.... totally not what I heard an ITE class was supposed to be like. SAVE YOURSELF PLEASE

That class is only an ITP100 class but it is the most diffcult class in my life . Professor telling you to read the book and ppt and if you do it in that way , she 'll still say that is wrong , so you can only follow her way of doing pseudocode . and yet Pseudocode shouln't be like hell at all . if you do not want spend all time onpseudocode away

Prof. Chamlou does not have manners to communicate with students, is an extremely rude person. She makes programming a traumatizing experience even though it is a basic class. You will hate the content because she makes you hate it and even threatens you to fail the class if you don't do it her way, she won't accept any other ways. DISAPPOINTED

She was a very rude and disrespectful Prof and she always scares the student to pass the course. e.g. if you dont do this you will fail the course. I have never seen such a bad prof at NVCC. She had a very bad method of teaching method. She never explains the class important points especially Pseuducode. Dont recommend her to any students.

Took the class online, could have gone on Adobe's website and saved my money. Prof Chamlou did not teach, just gave assignments, and links to Adobe's website for learning the material. Graded way too slowly, and links were updated/expired so she would give F's instead of asking students to resubmit assignments. Would not recommend.

I won't lie, she gives great feedback. She required weekly meetings to discuss completed assignments. It's great for upcoming assessments. She fails as a professor because she is extremely rude during these meetings and speaks to you as if you are incapable of anything. Countless readings, and her lesson plans/instructions are unclear.

She is a very rude professor, especially when it comes to the meetings to review your work, she doesnt care about her students and how they feel. She wants things done her way and if its not done like that, you will fail I promise you. I 100% do NOT recommend her she will fail you and make you look very bad.

Prof. Chamlou takes 100 level class as hard as an advanced class. If you are new to programming I DO NOT recommend you taking her class. YOU WILL FAIL or get a D no matter how hard you try. I am usually a straight As person, but I struggled for a C in her class. IF you don't want to take this class twice I recommend you look elsewhere.

No feedback whatsoever. Doesn't respond to email asking for clarification of assignments. Learned... but taught myself.

If you're considering taking the course with this instructor, I would suggest reconsidering. I usually don't mind difficult instructors, because some really do care about your learning. In her case, I just found her to be condescending and rude. Our class went from 30 down to 6 students before the semester's end. If that tells you anything.

Let me start this rating off with DONT DO IT. Find another professor! she is rude and disrespectful. She talks down to her students and does not care if they actually learn the information she just tells you look in the textbook. You could have one error and you are automatically wrong. She will give you zeros for one part being wrong. NEVER AGAIN!

VERY UNORGANIZED, lots of tests/quizzes (70 questions) Takes forever to respond to emails, I feel like I didn't learn anything from her class.

I do not recommend this Professor for student, I did not learn anything's from her class

Read the reviews before you go into this class

This professor is inconsiderate and lazy. Refusing to acknowledge emails and grading through an inaccurate and outdated autograder, which marks off points even if you follow instructions exactly will lead to you failing at no fault. She doesn't even follow her own syllabus and grades without ever looking at your work. Take it if you want to fail.

This teacher was beyond any amount of unproffessional. First of all, she refuses to do any grading on any assignment unless you meet with her after class to discuss it. Second, her "office hours" are posted in a way that the window of opportunity passes before you can meet. Finally, she removes GRADE DEFINING assignments and tests, with no warning!

Don't do it. This professor is the lowest of the lows.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I am a good student and it was very difficult for me to keep up with this class. Her grading is taught especially on exams. If you mess up one exam your grade will drop from A to C very easily and the recovery is almost impossible her presentations and textbook sometimes do not match so it is difficult to study the material

Very tough grader, doesn't grade your assignments until the very last day of the course, I had an A the entire year and ended the class with a D+ because of some silly mistakes even though I did not miss a single assignment nor a single class.
