Do not listen to these other comments, this was one of the worst experiences I have ever had the displeasure of having. She rambles on about nothing, she shows a severe lack of confidence, and makes what should be an easy intro class a nightmare. If you value your GPA be careful when you take this class, due to ridiculous assignments she desires. F

The way she teaches and treats her students makes you feel like you are being reprimanded by one of your 10th grade teachers.

This class did not do anything other than missing up my GPA. The teacher does not explain anything and she assigns tons of homework. most homework is writing papers.

I learned a lot from this class. It isn't an easy class, and there is a lot of writing assigned, about one writing assignment per week to be exact, not to mention a couple of big papers. As far as tests are concerned, they are somewhat easy as long as you study the chapters well and pay attention in class. Professor is helpful and clear.

Class turned out to be a little more wok than expected. It usually goes on for an hour and a half at a time, and tends to get very droll very early.

If you do the homework, which comes straight from the textbook, and read the the chapters for the test, it's a free A.

Her teaching is hands-on examples and some lecturing: participation matters so that you have the example programs to call on later. She cares for her students and will definitely help outside of class if she can. Great professor and would definitely take again!

Just come to class, and you will pass. But the teacher was awesome this semester, all assignments was pretty clear and the help and feedback was simple and effective. This was one of my favorite classes and it got me very interested in coding c++. I rate this Epic/10. Would take again.

She is a great professor. The course was super easy and the assignments are assigned on a weekly basis. There is plenty of time to complete assignments and most aren't very difficult. She's very nice and lectures are very helpful. I would highly recommend this professor and this class as it was very enjoyable.

Mrs. Cunningham is a great professor and i'm glad to have been her student this semester the only criticism I have though is her advice could be given in a more specific matter and how to move forward if I have no idea what's going on in the class material but that's just me, every person has professors that do and don't work for them.

She did a walk-along example program for each of the concepts we learned that we could use to help with the assignments. All the assignments she gave had clear instructions and broke things down into steps to make things easier.

Ms. Cunningham is the best teacher I've had in my freshman year. She was a great teacher that really made me love programming, I also loved her enthusiasm for programming, that was less forced than other teachers that tried to get students attention.

Dr. Cunningham is great professor for computer science. She can be rude and make comments that make you feel stupid. I enjoyed going through practice programs. However, there is a lot to do and keep up with in this course, if you get behind it is nearly impossible to catch up. I feel she could give more advanced examples in the practice problems.

She was very helpful when I needed help and answered in a timely manner. I took the online course and I found that the video lectures with the quizzes in them were very helpful. I did buy the book and I did reference it a couple of times throughout the course but I think you could get by without it.

I took programming 1 with Mrs. Cunningham my first semester freshman year (fall 2023). I had some health issues and she worked around them in an amazing way. Her class was workload-heavy, but not super difficult. She changed the class around each semester, but is there when you have questions. Ask her or the TA if you need help.
