Ms. Bendavid is an excellent teacher. She really tries to get you to understand computers. Even though the assignments are a bit long, they are very easy to do and she gives you more than enough time to turn them in. About a week I say. She only gave one group project the entire semester and she gives an enormous amount of extra credit points.

This class is a lot of busy work. Multiple moodle posts due every week. There aren't lectures but she goes over part of the homework in class. Sometimes intimidating to ask questions, but she's there to help if you need it. As long as you do all the work you'll pass

This class is NOT easy. If you do not like a LOT of busy work, Difficult midterm and final, then do NOT take this class. The only good thing was that she curved the first part of the final by like 23%. But she does want her students to pass. Getting an A is not impossible, but it's not easy either. Only used 1 of the packet of $130 worth of books.

Bendavid is one of the worst professors I've taken at CSUN. She's very stubborn and thinks her way is the only way to do something. So it's difficult discussing the material with her. All the work is done online, the book is mandatory to get the code for the online site. There's a LOT of busywork so don't let it pile up. She also grades attendance.

Professor Bendavid barely teaches the concepts, but that is because it is explained in the textbooks. So, make sure you read and follow the directions. It is straight to the point and easy to pass! Just make sure you keep on track with your work and understand what you read.

Everything is pretty much online, attendance is mandatory because of a quiz; if class starts at 9:30, you better be doing the "on-time quiz" starting at 9:15. 3 parts on the mid/final, one part is 100 question, where she expects us to memorize the entire book. Assigns too much homework. Don't slack off in this class because it will hurt at the end.

I strongly agree that she assigns a bunch of things throughout the week but most tasks take about 30 minutes to finish. She gives you a 200 word discussion every Wednesday that she doesn't even read (easy A) and the homework assignments are just following the instructions with multiple attempts to get an A. A LOT of extra credit too. Pretty easy A.
