She is very good and consistent. Teaches very well. However, her exam are hard you'll need to study hard and be prepared for her exams. I recommend her for any students who want to learn Data Structures. 3 exams, 1 final, 3 projects.

A sweetheart, knows her stuff, very easy to talk too.

she is very nice and helpful.Her exams are neither easy nor tuff.you have to work hard in her class.It is not hard to get an A grade in her class.

she's like a mama

I've had a few classes. She's a great professor.

She is NOT one of the prof. who are set on one speed and who teaches like a run away train, she know how to pace with the student. Great lecture and examples, I wish that I had more prof like her.

3 exams, 2 quizes, fair grader, course material isn't that hard, final is cumulative, a couple of hw's, availiable outside of class if you have problems with the material. really nice.

Take ALL Her Classes, At The moment Ive taken 084, 220 and am making sure I take 361 with her, Shes the BEST, like a mama really, she makes sure everyone understands and will not overwhelm you with material, she grades nicely and her lectures are always informative. If you can study a little bit an A is guaranteed, if you cant, probably still a B

Sweetest professor EVER! She's the only professor at the higher-levels that actually gives second chances. She goes at an extremely reasonable pace, not too fast that you'll be lost, and not too slow that you'll be bored. Crystal-clear lectures. Not much HW, but the few HWs that are assigned are helpful. Tests and quizzes are very fair. Take it!

She is such a nice person, as well as professor, she is super lenient with letting you work at your own pace, the exams r not bad written and lab portions, however I always did way better on lab portion. She gives a good amount of work I didn't think it was too much nor too little.. Overall I would def. Recommend her classes.. Great professor!

SHE'S GREAT COURSE WAS GOOD UP TO THE FIRST TEST THEN HURRICANE SANDY CAME THROUGH MISSED A WEEK MANY PEOPLE MISSED DAYS WHEN SCHOOL CAME BACK AND SHE TAUGHT VITAL THINGS I GOT A 90 ON THE FIRST TEST NOW I AM CONFUSED AND SHE IS CONFUSING ME YOULL BE FINE AS LONG AS YOU DON'T MISS CLASS.

Nice lady,very helpful and gives out lots of extra credit, but don't take her if you like having notes to study from. She basically lectures and puts very little notes on the board. This can make studying for tests difficult as she doesn't use the textbook much either. Not as easy of a class/professor as shes made out to be by some students.

Very helpful teacher who cares about her student's education. Always willing to stay after class, although emails communication was spotty, but more for technical reasons than anything else. She teaches a hard subject, calculus, but is knowledgeable and passionate... and lenient. I would take her again.

A really great and understanding professor. This course is much more difficult than i'd expected. Notwithstanding the bonus questions, the exams are kinda difficult. She also gives extra credit and lots of quizzes. She really does everything in her power to have you get a good grade. so, you can still do pretty well even after a few poor grades

She is the nicest computer science professor, she is pretty clear about what she wants and get this, she CARES about her students!

All I have to say is I was struggling and Professor Smith-Thompson helped me so much! I cannot thank her enough.

Excellent Professor. She provides clear and reasonable expectations and she is super helpful and available (after class and during office hours) If you put in the work you can get a good grade in her class

She's a very sweet woman and if you show up to class, do the assignments and study like an hour or two for the tests, is an easy A for the class. Textbook is a must whether it's physical or pdf. Plus exams are open book.

Wonderful!

kind and understanding. Be prepared for a few quizzes and tough exams though. She makes you think hard on the exams and likes to throw in stuff you should've learned in previous CS classes. Very doable coarse. However, you must study!! The best part is that she makes you see how what you're learning is important in the real world.

Class goes at a slow pace at the beginning of the semester but gradually gets intensive. If you really want to learn Data Structures, then take her. She will break down every concept for you and will help you with any question you may have. You can always get an extended deadline for your projects. Missed an exam? She will let you take it again.

Best professor in QC for CS313 and CS343. Won't over pressure students with ridiculous amount of work and exam questions unlike some other professors teaching the same courses. She's so nice and if ur sincerely interested in learning, she will explain and help a lot. Her 313 lectures r very informative and useful in particular. Very good Professor.

Underrated CS prof. Tests and projects are doable. She teaches 313 well unlike the other profs. Your ability to code is very important to her. If she thinks you can't code she will give you a D. Some students should've gotten a D but were curved to a C because they were able to code in projects and tests.

it's 240 all over again. the subject itself is easy. she teaches it well. Don't think there is a curve in this class cuz majority of the students do well.

I took her for both CS 313 and CS 343. She is one of the best professors I've ever had. I wish she can teach more classes. She is very knowledgeable on the topics and she teaches them very well. She is very helpful if you ask her questions and she will be glad to help. You have to put in the work for both classes. I would recommend taking her.

This became my favorite class. She doesn't go too fast or too slow. Go to class and listen to her. Do all the examples she gives on Blackboard and you'll get an easy A on each test. Very caring if you have something going on. If you fail everything and get a C on the final, you'll get a C in the class. Two tests and one final. Gives an extra credit

She is a absolute sweetheart. Pay attention, respect her and she will treat you good. She literally helped me on the final and solve on a problem that I was stuck on. I was just to stupid to realize it. I would take other courses she teaches as well.

Good lecturer, students should've known what they were expecting when taking a 313 6wk course. Gives enough extra credit for anyone to pass. She does fail you if you can't write a function or simple linkedlist. Those that failed just didnt want it enough.

She's great at explaining the topics and in a course like 313 that is essential. Dealing with a 6 week summer class AND having it all online she did everything to try and make the class as normal as possible. Plenty of extra credit opportunities and she was always there to answer any question we had. Incredibly nice person I would take her again.

Good teacher, learned a good bit from her this semester. You go to her lectures, you'll basically pass the class without a problem. During reviews before tests and homework's, she'll pretty much feed you all the answers and layout. She values participation a lot- and she'll remember well whoever does participate. Bad handwriting tho, listen well.

The class itself isnt very difficult. Professor is lazy and grades assignments very late. Besides that it isnt extremely difficult. Beware the final is very lengthy.

Hands down a great professor. I was a bit skeptical based off the reviews but she explains the lectures clearly and If you pay attention, you'll do great. There were a few homeworks and quizzes but they're all based off problems that we do in lecture. Just make sure you answer the poll questions in class before she thinks you're making a sandwich

She's a real gem at QC. I appreciate her willingness to help her students that are struggling with her class. For those who take her, make sure to attend her office hour if you have a question, because her office hours have helped me. She teaches well and she is funny. I strongly recommend taking her. At the same time, prepare to study hard.

I enjoyed this class and love the professor as a person but she is SLOW to provide feedback on assignments. All of my HWs were graded after the last day of class but midterm and final were graded promptly. That said, she explains concepts well and devotes a lot of extra time to helping students outside of class.

Great lectures. She explains everything thoroughly and adds little anecdotes that help emphasis the importance of the concepts. She provided HOURS of extra help and was very flexible. If you come to class, put in the time and have a strong background in Java you'll do well. She did take a while to grade projects but other than that, she was great!

She is a very nice person. She is not a terrible person all these comments make her out to be. The one thing is that you need to apply yourself. I took her for a 6 week summer and it was interesting. You gotta stay on top of the projects and assignments.

Prof. Smith is kind, caring, fair, responds quickly to emails, and teaches well. Make sure you're comfortable with Java if taking 313 (review labs & old projects). If you show up to class, PARTICIPATE, do all assignments, and study, you'll pass. Grade consisted of quizzes, 3 part Java project, final, and zybooks hw.

She was sick most of my semester and emailed a few hours before class to cancel. Sometimes no email. She was out for 1 month. After she got back, the pace of the class picked up a lot. It was difficult to follow along in the class because she gears off to stories. Old lectures on bb it was easier to follow. Tests = all passed quizzes.

Took her for a 4-week summer session, and had her both as a lecture professor AND lab. Unironically, one of the best professors I ever had. She was extremely nice/kind/caring and understanding. Gives a lot of hw but it's worth it. Tons of extra credits. Every topic she mentioned was on the exam. I obviously can't speak for others but she was great.

Make sure you listen a LOT to what professor says in class. She will test you heavily on what she goes over more frequently in class. Then, read the textbook chapter of the specific topic you went over in class. Go to office hours and ask specific questions on what to go over before a test, and go over topics you struggle with in office hours.

Hands down one of the gems at queens college. Her lectures are the #1 thing you should focus on. Gives plenty extra credit. Genuinely cares for the students. she gives useful feedbacks on the quizzes which come in clutch for the exams. If you care about learning, do yourself a favor and take her.

She really cares and tries to work with you. This class should be taught in python instead of java. Besides that, for the time it might not seem like it but, you get to learn alot of the topics which will be asked in interviews so she really prepares you for that. She tends to ramble on sometimes during lectures also miss/cancel classes.

Course was challenging, but she really tries her hardest to help you succeed. She posts practice questions for every exam on Blackboard ahead of time as well as class notes. In other words, you have everything you need to pass.

Took Professor Thompson for 340 and 313 and all her lectures were amazing and she is a very caring professor! I am taking her now as my final class before graduation and feel honored to have her as my last class, she really is a diamond of a professor for QC CS and will forever be remembered!

This professor is great! One of the best at QC. She's a sweet professor and I learned a lot from her. Other students like to complain but that's probably because they aren't actually listening. She's knowledgeable. I truly hope she continues to teach because she's an actual gem.

Her lectures are interesting and she's got good humor (make sure you participate/engage!) Good thing is she focuses on practical concepts of modern programming languages. She was very caring/understanding of my situation throughout the semester, I appreciate that. Her project for this class is very cool! If you put in the effort you'll see results.

Prof. Anne may take weeks and wait last minute to grade assignments but overall she teaches a lot of demanding classes and does a good job at going over lectures. While she tends to cancel classes a lot causing some memory retention issues she does give a decent review and clear exam topics to study.

Professor Anne often associates the lecture topic to tangents but deep down she is a very caring person and she lets you know what exam topics are, so definitely study the material. She does take a very long time to grade things and often cancels class but it makes sense given that she teaches many classes. Hands down the easiest option for CSCI340

Lecture, 8.5/10 Homework, 7/10 Exams, 3/10 Text book, 2.5/10 Curve, 9/10 Project, 3/10 (Not hard) Her showing up, 35% Overall, 6.9/10

She's nice. If you stick through it and try your best, you have a good chance of passing. And if you are smart there's a good chance of a high grade. The only bad thing is she yaps a lot.

Prof Thompson is one of the best CS professors in QC. She is caring and always willing to help once you show that your putting in the work. Go to class, take notes, study and you will be fine. She gives a quiz every week which helps keep you on top of things. She give extra credit points for stuff. She's not out here just trying to fail people.

I failed both Kong and Tao. They were both awful professors—very mean and insincere. Then I took Anne. I attended every class and put effort into all my assignments and quizzes. Everything was based on what we learned. She's a bit disorganized and grades things late, but she's one of the sweetest women ever.

She makes it clear that so long as you pass the final, you pass the class and if you fail the final (Even by one point) you fail the class. I never attended class because material/exams were fairly simple, the only issue was the final in which she threw complete curve balls that weren't in the same format as the midterms.

She wants you to pass, shes willing to adjust numbers to make sure you pass has long as you show you are putting in effort. The only way you would fail her class is by not putting in any effort. Her tests aren't a surprise, she held reviews (you ask questions) before the tests. She passed anyone that got a C on the final regardless of midterm grade
