Good teacher. Intermediate "C" is boring, but she helps with a sense of humor.

Very organized lectures, labs not too bad, tests are easy. Even the final was!

She explains everything clearly. Her programs require a lot of thinking and are sometimes difficult. Her tests are average and they require that you understand the material really well. You will learn a lot from her classes.

good teacher, tests are doable if u pay attention, same goes with lab, the teacher explains thoroughly, not hard to get A or B. take her if u want to learn.

Great programming skill, easy tests, you can learn a lot from her with her style. She made this class's contents very clear. I found those stuff helpful even for my several other programming class.

A great teacher!!!She explains everything very clear! Her class is boring though. The assignments are sometimes difficult, but it's easy to get A.

Must take teacher....since I took 2 or here classes already. VERY easy A

She speaks fast alright.And i don't like her lecture style, always use her laptop projector to demostrate the programming. But she is very very very kind and helpful. People recommend this teacher for reasons.

easy A.not too clear. CS major, don't take her.too easy for u. take garbacea better. pretty-->motivational factor.Lee->laughing queen.everything seems to be funny to her. she always laugh when she's teaching. tht's why i wander wheter she's crazy or

very nice teacher. Encourages personnal work. Mid-term and final are very accessible.

guaranteed to put you to sleep, take her if you have insomnia. But overall, she's an easy A.

She is one of the fwe professors with a deep knowledge of the material and the experience and ability to explain things. All those students who think she's not helpful..how many times did you go to office hours?The material is not be easy,but she TEAC

Easy A. Nice and easygoing teacher. Her lecture notes are easy and simple to understand. If you aren't good at programming, take her. She's easy on exams and final.

She's very nice, especially when you go to her office hour and ask for help. She's quite easy so not recommended for computer science major who wants to learn a lot. She goes over examples somewhat thoroughly.

She is a really good professor who knows how to explain things. Highly recomended. Very clear on labs. exams test you on important things only. Also, she really likes string parsing.lol.

easy~A,~all~hail~to~Letter~A~grade~

Easy instructor if you pay attention. Grades very leniently. Has strong knowledge of the subject. Some times gets a little boring but I would take another class with her if I had to choose from the rest of the CIS instructors.

She is an easy going teacher that makes her class pretty fair by allowing textbooks and notes on her tests. The grades are slightly curved and the labs are self explanatory. Loves to laugh a lot.

Really easy class. Fun, some participation in grade, but really easy to get a high score on that. If you just do all the work, and put the time needed, you'll get an A. We had all A's, a few B's, 2 C's from people that didn't do all their work, and enough F's from people that stopped coming at all. Just do all the work, show up, and its easy.

Expectations are clear. Lectures can be boring especially when she gets bogged down by module specs and pseudocode. Many students fell asleep since it was an afternoon class. She didn't seem to take it personally though. Test are fair.

She is very nice. But she is very boring when it comes to writing function and deskcheck. It's something we should learn but its ez for us to fall asleep. Her hw assignements are very not clear accept for the third lab. She is easy and helpful if your previous 15AG teacher is also good enough to get you started on this course material

Of the two times that I have taken her, the classroom she taught in had no computers. This leads to lectures where you simply watch as she goes through examples, writing/testing code, designing, etc.. I really wish I had a little more time to experiment in class. However she is always available during lab time which makes up for the boring lectures

she is nice , but her lecture is very boring , sometimes her lab assignment direction is not clearly ,her exam is very easy

Excellent teacher,chair of CIS department.Lecture goes clear ,understandable.Kind of super easy test.

Clear instructions on assignments that are fun and challenging. Very lenient also and provides a lot of feedback for your work(the good & bad). Good teacher.

She's really nice, really approachable, really friendly and does grade pretty lightly. But she is enormously confusing on paper. You have to read through her coding HW handouts quite a few times to understand what's being asked. It seems hard at first because of how confusing she words things, but once you understand, it's actually pretty easy.

She's nice, doesn't have an accent and grades lightly. But she is VERY confusing on paper. You have to re-read her lab assignments quite a few times to understand what's being asked. But responds promptly to email! She takes notes for you that are not very useful bc they are named by the date. So use windows search and rename parts of her docs

She is very helpful and knows the material very well. She goes so fast, so if you have a question just stop her to ask your question. Overall I learned a lot from her and got and A.

Excellent. Ms. Lee is very nurturing. She treats her students very gently, with love and great care. She drills key and fundamental concepts very thoroughly. Love her desk checks. Hope she teaches more subjects. I will not hesitate to take more classes taught by her.

She knows the material really well and is a good teacher. However, she is extremely disorganized, so class can be somewhat bewildering at first. Once you get used to her idiosyncratic interior monologue style, the lectures are amusing and useful. Her written assignments are ultra confusing but she is super helpful and responds to emails quickly.

I took her intro java course online. She is not very clear on her assignments, but they're pretty easy. She doesn't teach much about object oriented design but instead focus more on the programming/coding part, so it might be difficult if you have never learned about OOP.

Average teacher,not v clear in lectures,disorganised,crazy long assignment questions difficult to decipher, but v v helpful,answers mails and questions fast.quite patient.Reasonable grader and good desk check questions.v slow in the beginning and v fast towards the end.If you are not good in coding, you'll lose all the time in assignments!

Many people think she doesn't explain well, but I don't agree with that. She has strong concepts on the programming, but what you need to do is to preview the textbooks before going to the class. She teaches fast, so if you have question, stop her and ask!

Her Java class was pretty straightforward. The people below commenting on how her instructions are unclear or confusing will one day, have to learn how to read instructions carefully. Sadly, today is not that day. Y'all are scrubs.

Professor Cynthia is a good professor.(I had two classes with her) She would even answer your email during holidays. However,if you already learned basic C++(manipulating array, string...etc) by your self, DON'T take her class. She has LOTS OF hw and labs. In the other hand, if you are a very fresh beginner, then SHE IS VERY GOOD AT BABYSITTING!!!!

She cares a lot, and if you pay attention and try in her class, she will try to help. If you come in with previous basic programming knowledge (like I did) the class is really easy. The only issues I've had are when I haven't paid attention to instructions or to the lessons sometimes. However, if you know how to program already the class is boring.

The assignment instructions were always very clear. If there was something unclear or something she messed up, she replied to the online forums and her email faster than any other professor I've had yet. In fact, I emailed her after midnight and she answered within an hour about a question I had. Tests are fairly hard but open book. Great professor

I like her class. She answered clearly when I asked her. Her extra points is very important.

She's a good teacher and she will prepare you very well if you are a beginner with no knowledge of computer science. She'll tell you very clearly during her lectures what problems to expect on exams (such as trick questions). Expect homework projects every week. Quiz every week, 2 exams and 1 final. 2nd exam can be retaken for a better grade.

After-class-due homework very often. Her lecture is Ok but her powerpoint and the textbook helps. Allow Cheat sheet on quizzes. Prepare to spend 10+ hr after class weekly. Hw is hard but practical. She stays after class to answers coding questions. Pop quiz after class

Expect lots of homework. Assignments at the end of every class. The assignments are good and prepare you for her tests. There are 5 programming projects due. Exams are open book and 2 pages of notes allowed. Expect programming on the tests. Tests are handwritten programming and no computers or compilers are allowed.

Very kind woman, and very knowledgeable. However, she is a little... A.D.H.D when lecturing. I thought she spoke too quickly and jumped around a lot when lecturing. But if you take her advice and come to class having already read the notes for the day, then you can ask her whatever questions you have and she is happy to answer them. Loved that.

Absolutely love her class. She obviously enjoys what she teaches, she has excellent communication, both verbally and in regards to emails/forum posts, plenty of opportunities for extra credit. I probably showed up for her class 5 times total, but I did really well in the class because she was so on point with teacher/student communication. A+++

Cynthia brought a lot of energy to her lectures. Learning C++ is difficult for those new to coding, but she makes it fun and entertaining. Don't skip class, and do the hw. Tests are written which can I found challenging. Overall great professor.

Professor Klawender is very clear and articulate. I like that she gives lots of short assignments throughout the week and then one long assignment due at the end of the week. Her homework helped me build up the foundations for data structures.

Professor Cynthia is the best! She loves teaching and is always willing to help students. She checks Emails very often and answers every question you ask. Take her 22B! You have to prepare a lot in 22B for your future programming class. She always includes details you need to learn in class so don't skip class.

I skipped class more than I attended it. There will be a short assignment due every night after class based on the lecture that day. Slides are uploaded online. Clearly points our errors on your assignments. Exams are handwritten, much easier than the programming assignments, and open note/book. Late work only loses 1 point every other day.

GOOD TEACHER, a lot of homework but still manageable.

Definitely recommend. If you never bother to show up (which was like 50% of Fall 2016's class, lol) then you won't get an A, but the class itself isn't difficult. Gives feedback on algorithm efficiency (helpful later on) Approximate time commitment a week outside class: 7-8 hours. Maybe 10-12 if you suck at programming.

She is really nice and willing to answer all your questions. 2 test, 6 quizzes(best 4), 6 program, 1 final(easy). Super happy to meet her this quarter. IF you do not study, skip her. She gave lots of exercises to let us practice. Tests and quizzes are open note.

Grades thoroughly and will find every bug in your code. Takes her job seriously, responds to emails within the hour. Lots of work though, and hard midterm. Expected time commitment from online class- 8 hrs/week

If you've already studied C/C++, Java should be really easy for you. There are exercises, quizzes, and labs almost every week. FOLLOW HER INSTRUCTIONS. She can be confusing at times, so ASK QUESTIONS if you don't understand something. Her tests are straightforward and she drops hints during her online meetings. Stay on top of the work and get an A.

lots of HW but good choice for students who really want to learn things.

She prepares a lot of materials for class, covers a lot of stuff in class. There are many small exercises due on weekdays. Homework(coding) are usually given each week, you may have to spend some time on it. All assignments have detailed instructions, so it won't take too long to complete them once you follow them. She replies quickly to questions.

She is very nice and willing to answer your questions. There is extra credit for 35A.

She's very explicit with all her assignments, so as long as you follow her instructions you're guaranteed a good grade in her class. They don't take up too much time either, just make sure you read/understand her lessons very well. She can be strict about some minor details but its to prepare you for the future.

This class is taught in java! She was well-prepared for every online meeting. She is really patient and willing to help. There are 1 mid, 1 final(super hard for Graph), and 5 HW, and 1 team project. She accepts up to 5 EC programs. She also accepts late HW(1 pt/2 days), which is up to around 2 weeks. Absolutely like her.

For 35A she recommended that you've taken 22B before which I strongly would advise you too as well or else this class will be hell otherwise 35A was basically a review of the materials from 22A and 22B but in java and the class was a breeze as a result of already knowing these materials. There's also quick extra credit problems.
