Very much wants students to do well, and makes herself available to help students

It's not often you see a REAL programmer who's a woman, but it's nice when you do. Real world experience. Good assignment instructions, a just grader. Nice hands-on lecture. Good class to take 3x/week.

Sweetest teacher ever! Has trouble getting out of "mommy-mode" but really knows her stuff. Great class too, but its not offered anymore.

This teacher is great, she makes this class go by fast. the test are mult.choice so read and pay attention(not hard) you do alot of projects, but they help with the class and are somewhat easy. if taking this class take it with her she is always there to help(sometimes more than enough if you know:)

WILL HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT. GREAT TEACHER.

She's good, but u have to attend in class,if not, ull lose lots of points

This teacher is great I have to agree with the mommy mode thing. She is a very sweet lady and wants students to learn. Very easy class she goes over everything you need to pass. Practice quizzes are taken with her in class as well as on your own. Practice quizzes are almost identical to real quizzes

SHE IS MOST ASSUREDLY A **** AND THE BEST TEACHER FOR THIS TYPE OF CLASS ANYWHERE. TRY IT DONT WORRY IF YOU COME TO CLASS AND TRY THE ASSIGNMENTS YOU WILL PASS..I DID

She super nice and always will help you out with anything. She moves kinda fast, so if you have NO computer experience whatsoever, she may not be the best teacher for you. She's also really strict on attendence, but grades very easily and again, will help you out WHENEVER you need it!

I pulled a D in the class due to being compiler-less for the majority of the semester, but she teaches extremely well, was very nice and helpful, and as a result I had no problem with the final project. Certianly one of the better professors I've had at SFCC.

Ms. Reid's class is cake. If you can't pass with an A, save your money and drop out of school now, because, classes don't get any easier than this. All you have to do is e-mail and edit Word documents. If you can't even do that she will help you, AND YOU STILL WILL GET AN A!

Great teacher. Willing to help and explain after class. Must have some computer knowledge which was good for me because I was afraid of getting into a class and being bored out of my mind but I wasn't.

Great teacher.

she is an awesome teacher who is willing to help you. she is super nice and hott! If you go to class you will get A. I had no computer skills and i did great! If you have to take this class you better take her.

Outstandingly invested in her students. She spends extra time to ensure that all of the students understand what is going on. She is plain spoken and details and will go the extra step to research any question she doesn't have the answer to. Her experience in the field is apparent, as is her interest in her students.

Debbie was very nice and found time for everyone with a question. Of course, you'd have to be hopelessly inept at using computers to fail CGS1000. But I'd definitely take a more complex technology course with her based on my experience.

Ms. Reid is a very helpful and very friendly person. She is knowledgeable and very approachable. Clear guidelines for success. Easy A.

Best teacher i've ever had.

Very pleasant lady. Comes to class prepared, and has a genuine care for the students.

Very helpful and quick to answer questions. Took class online and there were no surprises. No excuse for getting less than 100 on quizzes since each question has 3 answers and you get 3 tries! Practice exams were only slightly different than real exams. Homework projects were easy and took very little time, but still informative. Great class!

I took CGS1000 with Professor Reid. She doesn't really teach much, however that is because the course is set up as a self learning course on www.myITlab.com. If you know how to use computers and need this credit, take it with her!

class is relatively easy if you follow and do all the work. HATED using the MyITLab. i have a new computer and it kept locking up during the skills assessment trainings causing you to start from the beginning.Professor is fair although her way of tracking your grade is wacky and hard to follow.Overall Professor is fair and does communicate well.

Great teacher that is quite attentive to her students' needs. She will do a lot of hands on exercises in class which helps with the homework and being able to apply the information later but you must read the book on your own time to really succeed in the class. Great teacher that I look forward to taking more classes with!

Easy credits. The work is so easy, you just have to do it. And it isn't a lot. It only took me 1 day out of the week to complete the entire module.

Professor Reid is one of the very BEST professors at this college. I have had her for multiple online courses. She cares about her students and has very high expectations. If you can get a seat in her class, you're one of the lucky ones!

I agree, Ms. Reid is the best. She expects you to put in the work. You have plenty of time between projects. If you don't want to do the work, you will get a harsh grade, as you should. I have learned so much from her and can't wait for her next class.

Prof Reid is knowledgeable and has years of work experience in programming and it shows. If you wish to get a legitimate understanding of programming, she is the professor to take. She is kind and cares about her students. If you are a slacker and don't want to do the work, you won't make it. You will learn how to program from her.

Very lively. Excited about teaching. Emails examples in class. Very helpful outside of class as well. Overall great teacher. Highly recommended.

It is clear that Ms. Reid loves what she does. Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious and really makes the class. Her expectations are clear and she gives good feedback. She communicates very well. I look forward to more classes with her.

Hands down, the best professor I've ever had. Highly recommend.

You won't learn programming from anyone better. She really knows her stuff. She communicates well and will answer questions quickly. She really wants you to do well and to learn the material. Highly recommend!

Took Intro to Programming as a newbie and she made me understand it, she was clear and cared about her students success. I would take her again. She is relaxed and calm with her lectures. Definetly used the book. The class assignments were frustrating at times but if you ask for help and use the internet it will make things easier.

Ms. Reid is extremely helpful. She understands which portions of this course are difficult. She is also very encouraging. I would certainly sign up for ANY course she was teaching in the future.

Dr. Reid is one of the best professors I've ever had. She is extremely helpful and understanding, she will help you if you ask for it. The class is easy in the beginning, but gets tough as time passes. She pushed deadlines back sometimes and gave an extra credit project. Provides weekly video lectures. Nicest professor you'll ever have.

Debbie was a great professor and always gave great feedback on the assignments. If you're taking Intro to Programming, be sure to take it with her.

Definitely the nicest teacher I've had here. Great teacher, good class. I don't like or know much about programming but this class was still easy enough. Even let me take a late test.

She is the best professor ever. I was new to programming and asked a lot of questions. Each time, she took the time to help me and answered every one of my questions. She helped me learn programming and now I love it. If you show up to class or watch the videos and review the sample code she sends each week, its not hard to do well.

This was my first programming class. She was very helpful and always took time to make comments on projects. Very helpful.

Best professor ever!!!!

I could write an entire essay about how awesome Debbie it. Take her for every single class she teaches, and try to take her on-campus courses. She is literally the greatest. I rated her a 5 for easiness just to boost her score some more, but you do need to put in a normal amount of effort to get an A. Best, best, best teacher.

I really enjoyed her class. She is very helpful when you need help and explains things in a way you can understand. She is a great professor and I will take more classes with her.

One of the best professors I have had SF. She really cares about her students and wants you to do well. Very professional and can't wait to take another class with her. Loved this class.

She really cares for her students and will go the extra mile if you are struggling like I was. I definitely recommend her for any class. She is awesome!

Debbie really cares for her students. She will help you if you are having a hard time with your programs and she is very easy to talk to. I've had several courses with her and she really goes the extra mile for me.

Awesome professor! Definitely recommend to take her for any course.

I wish this class was offered in person.

Great teacher, helped alot whenever I needed her, hve had her in a class before this and she did very well, I plan on having her in future classes

Great professor. Very helpful and supportive.

Debbie presents a well organized course and if you do the material and ask for help you should have no problem passing the course.

Debbie is a great professor! Very helpful during office hours and knowledgable of her subject, if your having trouble on a project, GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS she will literally sit there and help you until you finish.

Great teacher if given the chance to take any of her classes do yourself a favor and pick her.

Prof. Reid is an outstanding professor. It is a pleasure taking her class and she is always there to help you if you need it. I would take classes from her again!

Prof. Reid wants you to be successful. She is understanding when things come up and is very helpful when you ask. Take her if you can.

I wish this class had been in the classroom. Prof. Reid does an amazing job getting material across and will help you anytime you ask. I learned a lot in this class that will help me in my job in IT. Take this class with her if you can. You will not regret it. Definitely recommend!

Prof Reid is an awesome professor. I love taking all of her classes. She very understanding. She responds to Canvas emails in a timely manner with helpful hints and suggestions to make to your programs work. Just make sure you start your projects early, ask questions when you don't understand something and you will succeed in her class.

The class is well organized and you know when all projects and tests are coming. The projects and tests are spaced out nicely. She gives great feedback so you know how to improve. Do yourself a favor and start your projects early so you have time to ask questions. As long as you make an effort in the class, you'll succeed.

This is my second course with Professor Reid, and she is a wonderful online professor. Her course content is clear. Assignments and tests are relevant to the material read. My advise: stay up with the reading and give yourself a couple of days to complete the homework. The book is necessary for the course. if you understand the content youll do ok.

she is not only a good teacher but also a good person. She always answer all the emails very quickly. She is one of the best teacher of Santa Fe College cause she knows how to explain the content and always does in a nice way.

I absolutely love programming and I owe it all to Prof. Reid. She is so nice and goes out of her way to make sure you understand the material and will help you in any way she can. She has rubrics for each project so you know exactly what you need to do to get an A . She's the best! Take any class she teaches.

COP3337 builds off of the prerequisite COP2000 which I took over 10yr ago. It was a good bit of work to get caught up, but definitely possible. There are not very many videos to watch, but discussion board is a good resource to ask questions. Homework CANNOT be done in 1 night, so start early.

Good: Plenty of time to do assignments. Clear cut example videos, great speaking voice, & well thought out presentation. Example programs available for download. Amazing value & response time of teacher communications. Hints: Do assignments early & follow the rubrik. Write out a template program that has everything & comment it well. Ask ?'s.

An excellent professor always willing to help. Even when things got hard, she was always there to help me improve.

An excellent professor who is always there to help.

She is always willing to help if you ask. She doesn't hand you the answers, but definitely helpful.

Debbie Reid is one of the best professors you can take for COP2000. Taking this class has greatly improved my understanding of the core elements of the C++ programming language. The syllabus is designed to engage student in the course projects, which further enhance the understanding and application of C++. No complaints.

Debbie Reid is one of the most helpful professors I have ever had. If you're ever struggling, she will go bit by bit through whatever you are not understanding, as long as you ask for help. She makes it clear that your grade is your own to earn, but she will go out of her way to help you completely understand the concepts you need to get an A.

This is a great class. Prof. Reid is always ready to help. When I say this class is not an easy "A", I am telling you that you need to do your work and participate to get an "A".

I really enjoyed this class with Prof. Reid. It helped to read the book and ask questions. This was an online class and she was always there to quickly respond to any questions. She says it many times, don't struggle on your own, ask and you will get help. She was able to point me in the right direction every time to get the projects completed.

Videos were super helpful. Very responsive teacher.

Professor Reid is sweet, clear, and to the point. She only gives as many assignments as you need to learn the material. I actually looked forward to her classes. If you show up to class and do your assignments in a timely manner you will surely do well. Professor Reid is patient and understanding and is there for her students when they need her.

Have had Prof Reid for a few online classes now. She is very helpful, and always gives feedback on assignments. Being an online class there is no face time but she always responded immediately to any questions I had. The videos are extremely helpful but you will definitely need to read the book to pass.

Mrs. Reid was the best instructor for beginning my programming classes. GREAT professor and you won't regret taking her. Just make sure to pay attention which is not hard and do your homework as well. You'll pass!

She is a good teacher and will answer your questions. It is better to do the reading ahead of time. Always and I mean ALWAYS start the homework the moment you know about it. Also very difficult if you don't keep up with reading. Like math programming builds on itself. She is good at getting back with emails. She is a nice lady but no late stuff.

One of the best professors I've had. Reid is on top of things. Working a full-time job and taking her course worked out well. She has everything laid out early and lets you know what to expect. She always gives great feedback and clearly defines what she expects from projects. You need to stay on top of things though. She has very helpful videos.

Debbie is very fair. She responds to emails and questions within a reasonable amount of time. My favorite was that she rewards extra credit for going the extra mile.

Debbie Reid is an excellent professor. Do not be afraid to take a class with her. COP 2000 was a very well structured class and the material was covered extensively. Read the book, it is will make a difference. This class requires that you manage your time wisely.

She was a big help in learning C++. If I did not understand something, she would email me back and forth until I understood the material. I liked working with her so much that I have her again next semester for Programming Logic.

Professor Reid is one of the best professors I've had. This was my first programming class, and she made it very accessible and easy to follow. She is very quick to respond to emails and helpful if students get stuck. You need to keep up with reading material, especially if taking online, and manage time for projects. Provided videos are helpful.

Prof. Reid cares about her students and is always justs an e-mail away with any questions you may have about the material. Get ready to read but that comes with the information you are having to learn, not because of her.

I took an online class with her, she was quick to grade assignments, usually a day after they were due, and very quick to respond to email.

Great teacher. Excellent feedback. Very responsive.

When you enroll in a class like C++ , you will be challenged (that's a given) but having a professor who remembers what it's like to be a student: priceless! She supplements the book chapters w/short videos for those who find them helpful. She's also very responsive with feedback. Professor Reid is a genuine. Truly, what a fantastic professor!

I didn't have much programming experience going into this class but it wasn't hard at all. Programming isn't easy for beginners but this professor helps out greatly and gives excellent lectures. She gives some extra credit and her study guides are also helpful. Overall fantastic professor and made this class interesting and understandable.

Have taken a few courses with Professor Reid, and have had great experiences overall. One of the most skilled and knowledgeable professors in the IT department at SFC. Easy to contact, and quick to reply to emails. Highly recommend.

Very passionate about teaching and a joy to have as a professor.

The best professor I have ever had in a online class career.

She was very clear on how your grade was averaged. At the end of the semester she made the last project an extra credit and if you had an A by the end of the semester you didn't have to take the final. Quick to respond to emails. I am taking her again this coming semester for another class.

Love this teacher. You won't find a more compassionate and kind professor. She knows her stuff and wants you to do well. Can't wait for the next course with her.

Programming is difficult, learning programming online is even more difficult. That being said, Professor Reid makes good videos and good presentations to get the information across to the students. Study and get your projects in on time and you won't have any problems.

She is a really good teacher and teaches you how to MySQL

If I could take Prof. Reid for every class, I absolutely would! She knows her stuff! For all of the assignments she gives very clear directions, and she's always more than willing to answer any questions and she is ALWAYS available.

Awesome!! Best prof at SF hands down.

Probably the best professor in the computer programming major at SFC. She's always quick to email you back, and is very willing to help with whatever issues you're having. She's the only professor I've had here that has video lectures on Canvas, and they usually go over everything you need to know for the project in that module.

Very clear in her lectures and they are well presented. She encourages coming to office hours and is very helpful and responsive when you have a question. Take her for every class you can.

This was a great class and that is all thanks to the professor, highly recommended!

Awesome instructor! COP2000 which was C++. The class was spent... coding. It was super refreshing to not do death by powerpoint. She actually teaches each detail as you code along with her, and she sends the programs after class. Couldn't ask for a better teacher. Highly recommended, esp if you are new to programming!

Afraid of programming or never done it? Debbie is the professor for you! She will answer your questions very fast and in a way you can wrap your head around. Class pace is a good moderate speed, so you can actually learn without feeling too rushed. Her lectures are very informative and can be understood by anyone!

I really enjoyed this instructor. She is very clear and will help you in class and after class and works hard to make sure you understand C++. You still have to read the book on your own. I didn't touch the book at first, but she continued to pick up where we left off in class so I wasn't overwhelmed in class just because I wasn't caught up.

Very clear in her lectures and they are well presented. She encourages coming to office hours and is very helpful and responsive when you have a question.

Debbie is an awesome professor who is very nice and cares for her students. She does a great job of making herself available to help if you need her, there's no excuse to not do well in her class.

Have taken two classes with Ms. Reid, and she's great. Very helpful and responsive to messages (even on weekends!). Well constructed classes, she has a similar formula. Assignments are tough but doable, and she is a reasonable grader. 10/10

Excellent Instructor! Explains programming concepts really well and moves at a good class pace.

She is awesome. Very laid back and easy to learn and talk to.

She was always available for help if we needed it. She gives great feedback so you will always know how to improve. Very open communication, very understanding!

This is my third class with Professor Reid and fifth with her curriculum. She is a godsend compared to others at Santa Fe. She understands the material and teaches it well. She gives very clear and concise assignments that relate to what you learned, not some unrelated stuff that she made up like others do. Enjoyable, educational class as always!

This is the best professor I have had. So much so, that I took time to write this review. I said class isn't mandatory, which mine wasn't, however if you went, you would definitely get an A. She explains things thoroughly and gives fantastic examples. I am taking her again for other classes, and am quite happy that she does the others.

Definitely take this class in-person if you can. I could tell she was very helpful given the lectures she posts online, but for whatever reason she could only post them if they were less than 5 minutes long. She was very helpful when I emailed her and I wish I could have taken it in person to understand C++ better.

Honestly one of the BEST professors you will find at Santa Fe College. If you are looking to go into programming, networking, etc. you should definitely see if you can get in one of her classes. Answers all questions well, helps anyone struggling, very well organized. Can't say I've ever heard anything negative about her from anyone I know.

This is my 6th online class at SF, and this professor is by far the best at it. She makes videos going through the lessons and posts them for students. Make sure you follow the project RUBRICS! I submitted a broken program that followed the rubrics exactly and got a 95, submitted a fully functioning one that didn't follow rubrics exactly for a 50.

Professor Reid is the best professor on the SF campus, hands down. You will work for your grade, but you won't be loaded down with busy work like the other courses in programming and networking. You will actually learn! Take every class you can with her. You won't regret it.

This professor is one of the best I've had. You will actually write code, no death by powerpoint. She's very nice, too. A win-win.

I took this class several semesters ago with Reid and now I'm in an internship. This database class is what got me this opportunity. Take this class from Reid and learn everything you can.

100% the best professor for computer programming

Truly excellent professor. Although I took the class in an online setting, and never had any face to face time with her, all of the help provided (along with emailing the prof) were more than enough to pass. What's more, the uploaded Zoom lectures are a nice help and her style of lecturing/teaching seems to click with me. I'd recommend, 100%.

Very helpful and motivating. I took her class online and it was a little more difficult, but she provided plenty of material and is great about responding to emails.

Prof. Reid was awesome. I'd never used C++ before and she really helped me greatly understand a lot of the concepts that I was struggling with throughout the class. Will definitely be taking her again.

I've had Professor Reid for several classes and she's one of my favorites. The material and videos are helpful and thoughtfully prepared. She gives excellent feedback when you're stuck. Hope to have her for many more classes.

Professor Reid is excellent, usually quick to reply to messages on Canvas. Her classes are forgiving - most are 1 free project or exam grade removed from the total average (you can bomb or miss 1 and still get an A+). Her projects are challenging but not impossible, and her lectures don't assume you know it all.

If programming is your worst nightmare but unfortunately is a requirement, I cannot advise you enough to take this course with Professor Reid. She's SO kind and helpful. Textbook is your lifeline. Read the chapters. Take GOOD notes. Watch/attend lectures. Ask if you need help. I've learned more in this programming class than I have with any other!

No stranger to procrastination, but this is a course that does not allow for any. If you don't keep up with the lectures and attempt a project, it's a slog. The last 2 projects I couldn't finish on time. Given about 2wks, the project required hundreds of lines of code across multiple classes, and there's no option to work ahead. Great prof. tho.

hard class but take it with Reid if possible

Another gem at Santa Fe. I've had her for multiple classes. Very caring and willing to assist. She tends to not answer questions directly, but it makes sense given the course content. There's a reason she's often the department lead

Having had tons of professors in earning my Master's degree (changing careers now, so back in courses), I can rate her among the best I've had! Great feedback and availability for questions, very encouraging, with realistically high expectations!

I'm not a CS/tech major, took this class for fun with minimal prior experience, and near the end it got a little hard to motivate myself to do the assignments. But they were never hard, and she was very knowledgeable and approachable with any questions we had. When things came up she was understanding. Grading was also forgiving. Did learn a lot!

Nice, caring teacher. Gets annoyed when you show up to class late (understandably so). Easy A.

She's very warm, approachable, and genuinely cares about students. She gave amazing feedback on assignments, which made a big difference in how much I learned. I got so much out of this class and appreciate how she tied the material to industry. She knows the field well and wants her students to be prepared. I would recommend her to anyone.
