The course is a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be, mostly because I did not study enough for this class. You should do fine if you attend all the time, especially since most of your grades are for in-class assignments that are done in class. She's willing to help if you ask for help; she's not as bad as you might think.

The class was tough, and she flies through the material faster than any prof I have ever had, but she really isn't that bad. She is helpful if you see her outside of class, but she always seems rushed. I was going to minor in computer science before her class, but if you have to take this class its bearable. Just know your going to have to work.

Great teacher! People think she is rude, but she is just honestly blunt. If she calls people out in class, it's because they are being rude. I like her humor, it keeps class interesting. Several small assignments, one exam, one paper, and a final presentation. Probably one of the better history core courses available.

Channah Naiman was definitly one of my favorite teachers here at Loyola. She makes it really clear that her class is an EASY A. All you have to do is group discussion points, come to class, take a hard midterm (which she curves ALOT), and final paper and presentation. There is NO FINAL! Loved this class and ITS SO EASY! TAKE!

Dr. Naiman is a great teacher. Some people think she is rude but I love her bluntness. It keeps the class entertaining. The class is mostly movies, some lectures, and a few labs. Grading is based off of discussion points (super easy), a midterm, and a final paper/presentation. She tells you it's easy to get an A, and she isn't lying.

Amazing teacher! Never had a professor come so well-prepared to class. Would def. recommend her for math or computers.

Super easy! Just do the assignments and you are guaranteed an A!

Ok the class itself can be pretty tough if you aren't a comp sci major but she does a pretty good job of making it manageable. Extremely helpful when it comes to taking personal questions on the materialmeeting with students having trouble. Assignments can be kind of unclear at times though and often require a second explanation.

I liked Channah. Yes the class was challenging but she stayed after every class to help out with the homework and to review for tests, which was really helpful. She has a quirky sense of humor, makes food jokes a lot. Her tests can be a little challenging, but honestly I learned a lot and feel prepared for more comp sci classes because of her.

Professor Naiman is a very funny person who explains things very well. I found the tests to be kind of demanding at times, because some of the questions were hard to interpret correctly, but nonetheless it is easy to do well on them as long as you review all of the apps on AppInventor. You need to show up to class because she works on the apps.

I really enjoyed the class. It was tough, but Dr. Naiman was really prepared. If you do the homework and come to class you'll do fine. She's a pretty good teacher, and is always willing to explain things more after class. Her class really helped me understand computers.

It's because of Professor Naiman that I've decided to switch my major to Computer Science. She breaks down the complicated stuff so that it really makes sense. She actually makes this stuff exciting.

Really explained things well. Most of us didn't have any programming coming in, and she never assumed that we knew things,even though some did. Just be sure to study for the exams, because they are really comprehensive. And she makes a big deal about cheating, but I heard that she really reports project teams to the Dean if they cheat.

Tbh, she has put lots of effort to prepare materials. This class gives students very good idea what data science looks like. I have learned many stuffs in this class. Her feedback is very helpful. If you want to try DS, you must take this class. The midterm is hard.

I don't understand some of the reviews of other students. Prof Naiman has the best lectures, taught so much. I went on an interview and they asked me SQL questions, and I knew them all! Some of the students just didn't want to do the work, which was a lot, but all good practice. I'm taking her Data Mining next time for sure!!

I just finished an internship, and the queries and the design that I learned in Dr. Naiman's class were exactly what I needed. They offered me a job based on this knowledge!! I don't know why anyone would say that the material is outdated--there are so many jobs using exactly this stuff!! Loved her in Data Mining too!

This was an online class, and we met every week on zoom. The professor prepared videos for every lecture, and also had "helpful hints" for every lab. She walked us through everything. The material is tough, but during class time, she answered all questions and really helped. Data Structures is a hard course, but Dr. Naiman really made it easy!

She's a solid choice for sure, that's a good way to put it. This is really hard material and I think there are more modern ways of doing some of the programming, but for a 150 level class that's okay. You really have to put a lot into it, but the final product is always worth it.

Reasonable & knowledgeable, Naiman is straight-forward and is accommodating within reason. No surprises - everything is as is within the syllabus.

I couldn't believe how much I was learning in this class! She is so prepared, her videos are awesome, and then we work on labs together in class. She helps everyone and spends hours with you if you need it. Best lectures ever! She sounds tough, but everyone I know in the class got an A or A-!

Professor Naiman prepared this course down to the smallest details. Every lecture and lab and homework has videos, and she walks us through everything! It was really helpful that we worked through the labs together in class. My internship was based on the material from this course, and I got two offers!!

When Professor Naiman lectures, the class is mesmerized. I've never seen anything like it! She's that good. And I got an internship on exactly this material (especially SQL), and my friend got a job because of this course. And if you can't come to class, her videos are awesome! I'm taking her for Data Mining too--can't wait!

I took 3 classes with Professor Naiman. Really organized, so you know what to expect. Like people said, there's lots of material, but I thought that was a good thing. Even though it's hard, she's an easy grader, and really tries to make lectures interesting. She helps with the project, but only if you really work on it.

Naiman gives you a solid base in any data field. The videos are really helpful. The test is really hard, but she has a review and allows a cheat sheet. I found her very helpful every time I asked for help. There's a lot of homework, so it you're not going to keep up with it, you can fall behind.

This is the second class I had with Naiman. Comprehensive, fair and covers the material. I had a whiteboard interview with SQL, and I killed it! Works for me. This was an online, so I was worried, because there's a lot of labs and homework, but she makes these videos that go through everything. But you have to put in the time.

Naiman is a realist. She's pretty funny though. I don't know why people are rating her so low. She really is a great professor who wants her students to do well. Yeah, you have to put in the work to get an A, but that's kind of how classes work... If you do the work, there's no reason you can't get an A. There's only one test and then one project

Dr. Naiman is the most wonderful professor. I wish she taught all COMP courses.

I do understand all the negative reviews on this platform, the first half of the semester is VERY homework heavy, as she crams basically a whole beginner's INFS class in the first 5 weeks. It can be quite difficult to finish if you're also working and taking lots of classes. But the material was useful and her online videos were descriptive

Like others have mentioned, if you are a working student (or just struggle with time management), the first half of the semester will be very difficult. In that half of this class, Dr. Naiman really hammers home ERD content and SQL; understandable as the second half of the course relies on these skills. The second half is geared towards the project

Dr. Naiman is very cheerful and loves to laugh. She is very kind. She won't yell at you. She likes to help students. She wants everyone to do well. (@_@) ��

This has got to be one of the best classes I ever took. Prof Naiman makes you work hard, but I got a job in Data Science with what I learned in this course. She's very fair, she always listens to students, and I don't think she ever sleeps, so she answers emails right away. (She zoomed with me once at 2:00 a.m., I swear!) She's so nice!!

Tough but fair. She's very upfront about what to expect. Very helpful when you fall behind. All the lectures are on videos, so you don't really have to go to class. The labs (especially the text mining labs and the marketing lab) are really high level.

There's a lot of work, but Dr. Naiman really breaks it down and gives a lot of help on zoom sessions. This was an online course, and she put every link and video on the syllabus course schedule, so it was super-easy to see exactly what to do. Her videos are awesome. This is my second course with Dr. Naiman, and I would take her again for sure!

I'm literally stupid and this class isn't exceedingly difficult like many people are claiming. She has the typical strict professor attitude but she isn't evil?? I told her my rlly goofy project idea and it made her laugh. She gives good feedback and advice on our homework. Taking this class made me go from 10 IQ to 1000 IQ. Do take her

Naiman breaks down the programs so that even an idiot like me can understand it. She also posts zoom videos of homework help meetings so that we can see how some problems are done. Really helpful!

This class is completely online, asynchronous (no meetings). Prof. Naiman organized everything into modules, making it really easy to see exactly what you need to do. She always answers emails right away. The only thing I don't like that much is having to work in a team, but I guess you have to in Project Management.

Naiman is really helpful and wants students to do well. The reviews before the exam are detailed, so if you study those you should do okay.

Naiman explains things well, and she spends a lot of time with you on zoom if you don't understand something. I don't really like the group project, because you're stuck with people who don't do their fair share. But she helps with the project, so it's ok. I'm a Bio major and didn't know any programming, so I learned a lot.

Online class, but she really connected with students. She met with my team 5 times to help us with our project.

super helpful, super clear. I learned a lot.

go to class. do the homework. get an A. The tutorial is free, so no $$ for a text. She helps a lot with the homework.

She goes through every homework assignment in class, and posts the recordings, so you don't even have to attend. There was a google meet that some students set up in order to share code with each other, so they're pissed that they were caught cheating, but the course itself is pretty good.

She goes through every homework assignment. I don't like the group projects, but she meets with us and really helps. Explains things well.

Once-a-week online class, where you work on labs during class and sometimes lecture. You have to watch her lecture videos (they're great), she's really organized and super available to meet whenever. She can be tough, but she's a great professor and the course can be tough as well. Work through it and meet with her when possible, she helps a lot.

Best course I ever took. I have taken Naiman three times. She is tough but super helpful. Gives a good exam review so you know what's on the exam.

A few tougher labs and homework assignments but there are mostly walkthroughs that she offers so it makes them easy to follow. Accessible outside of class, even though it was an asynchronous class she was always ready to answer questions. Fair grader, she took effort into account not just accuracy of an assignment.
