I have never beauty like this when i see her my heart shutters if only someone could tame her wild nature prof woit marry me and do my unix Homework

Beauty with brains...amazing teacher!

Denise is the hottest(most good looking)professor at Ryerson. She's too smart to be teaching at Ryerson

Good-looking with brains. Makes you wonder what made her go into computer science or even more astonishing.. why she came to Ryerson. Wheel yum air rheem he?

Could someone make it any easier? Good prof. EASY high mark!!

Cool prof and pretty funny! This was a really great class, too bad I wont be taking anymore of Woit's classes.

She's the Best Prof at Ryerson. She's WAY Too smart to be teaching at RyeHIGH

Undoubtedly the best prof at Ryerson. It was sad to be followed up with lowly Panar after witnessing her teaching. She would have done a much better job than him.

Awesome Prof!!! Thank you for all your support!!!

i got A+ in her class, wat else do i need 2 say....

She know how to teach Linux :) ... Make sure to attend the labs and know how to answer the questions... for the final just review the lab questions and you will be fine... She is nice and helpful...

Very nice, and answers questions well when asked for help. Hope to have her again :)

Good prof!

Easy tests and assignments. Notes are online but you will have to attend if you want to fully understand them.

Amazing. Helpful, excellent explanations, and also an easy course.

Hands down the easiest easiest proff at Ryerson. She actually gave out part marks on a multiple choice exam!

Very nice and laid back. Knows the stuff inside and out. Even though the labs were over my head (linux os stuff), I still enjoyed the class. Not a fun topic for me but y0u have to take it.

Very smart prof, knows her stuff. Notes online which is good, but handwritten so sometimes hard to understand unless you go to class. Midterm was written (short answer). Final was all multiple choice, which is not the greatest format.

Woit really knows her stuff. She can be pretty quiet so I suggest sitting close to the front. For CPS305, It's best to learn the material via lectures. It's possible to use her notes but they're a bit scribbly and hard to understand without an explanation sometimes.

She's okay ... which I find pretty fitting 'cause she says "Okay" a lot. She's a little quiet and her handwritten notes online are pretty vague but the textbook is very helpful. You should be fine for tests as long as you get the material and know how to do the labs. Personally, I found her assignments harder than the tests.

Woit has a soft voice, so I highly recommend sitting near the first three rows. I've dropped by office hours and she's always willing to go over doubts and help out. Beware of the coding group proj, it has specific guidelines so make sure you start early!! I almost payed for this :S (almost). Make sure you know your DS&A inside out for tests.

This professor does a great job at teaching material, unlike many other professors at this institution. But beware of her marking! She marks very heavily and it is tough to get a good grade. Nevertheless, she is quite high on my list as far as good professors go.

For those hating on her, you will see a massive decline in competency of professors as you progress into your later years of CS at Ryerson. After taking all her classes, she really respects her students. Yes the assignments are difficult, but they are still doable compared to other classes. Not to mention she actually knows how to teach.

Just a doll. This woman is a REAL prof. She teaches very well and her assignments and projects really get you to apply your knowledge. She makes you interested in what you're learning and actually makes you WANT to learn. The best Comp Sci teacher Ryerson has to offer. Hands down.

Denise is an amazing prof that takes the time to carefully explain & answer any questions. She makes difficult material easy to understand. Her lectures may be boring but its the course material itself thats very dry. She is a very fair prof, but beware, her final is all multiple choice & its very tricky. Overall, still a great prof that cares.

shes a great and kind prof whos very understanding however lecture can get boring at times but its important to attend since she tells you exactly what you need to know and gives great examples

Although lecture become very boring, she tries her best to teach the course and is enthusiastic about it.

-Lectures and notes have all the content you need -Explains all concepts clearly and has example to reinforce those ideas into your head -Gives optional hmwk, but if you do partake in some of it you will for sure get a good mark -For tests, do all the hmwk Overall, a solid prof who is one of the top CS profs at Ryerson

dry lectures but the content is dry too. Study properly and it's manageable

Professor Dwoit, is a very good professor. Her zoom's lecture are always on point and she makes sure to explain thoroughly what she is teaching. Her tests both the midterm and final were fair, and in fact if you only read the presentaion slides for each chapter, and understood them, you would be able to get a good mark. Overall amazing Prof.

Woit is a good prof. She explains concepts very well and provides multiple coding examples to clarify terms. The labs and assignments teach a lot about operating systems. The midterm and exam are also nice. The questions are straight out of the labs and textbook as she said they would. If you stay on top of labs and lectures you will do well. GOAT

All around solid professor. She conducts lectures with knowledge insight and helps students grasps topics. Tests were based on information from lectures but does require a bit of extra studying but still manageable. Listens to student feedback, she even changed the passing requirement to help more students pass! Overall great prof for learning OS.

don't know how anyone can hate on a prof who tells you what questions you will get don't the test. If people are still doing bad, they clearly didn't study enough, this rule may or may not change in the future. Woit's "slides" are just some text in a .txt document, which could be turned into better-looking slides.recorded lectures are nice.

She's become much better this year for cps393. Her tests are very straight forward and the practice tests that she gives are very similar to the tests. Although, I still think it's unfair that course is graded off 3 tests that only have like 2-3 questions for 40 minutes each instead including assignments and labs. She also only teaches online.

Course is lecture heavy but this year the midterms and exams were easy if you used the practice.

She has been really good this year. All the 3 tests and finals were based on the Practice. Do the homeworks, labs and Practice tests, you'll be good to go! On top of that, she replies back and explains the topics clearly.

The course is lecture-heavy, but the lectures are recorded. The notes she gives for the topics are really good. In terms of the tests they have been really easy this year, if you do the practice question she provided you'll do good.

The lectures are detailed, she explains each and every thing very clearly. She also replies to the questions asked in the zoom chat. The exams this year were pretty easy and good, whatever she gave in the practice questions came in the tests, a little modified though.

W in Woit is warranted

All her lectures are recorded, she's honestly a very good prof, her notes are super helpful and have lots of examples. We had 3 tests and a final exam. The 3 tests were super easy, she gives practice questions and they are basically the same as the ones on the tests and exam. Super easy and simple questions, exam was fill in the blank code.

She was the best ever. Her test were very straight forward and her lecture were great with amazing explanation of the content :)

Such a straightforward class. Amazing lectures and all of the are recorded!!!. Best prof I've ever had. She is so nice and caring, and is willing to go over anything if you are confused. Why can't all the profs be like her. WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Lectures were online and recorded. Labs are optional. She prepared practice midterms/final that were basically the same as the actual midterms/final. Review them and you're guaranteed a good mark.

Amazing professor, has great lectures although each lecture is very content heavy, so prepare to read. She gives guidelines for every single exam and sticks to them. She wants the best for her students and helps them achieve good grades while ensuring their understanding. Denise is a great prof.

Great professor. Her practice questions are the real MVP. I am glad she taught me the basics of C and Linux. She also records her lectures so you can view them in your own time. Take her for cps393.

Easiest course I have taken, great prof

393 was pretty easy compared to the past years. if you study the practice questions, then you'll do well in the tests and exam, if you have for your term.

woit was such an amazing and respected prof, and the content was pretty easy, if you study them.

Basically a online course because she posted recorded lectures, notes, and announcements online. She explains concepts well. Practice as much as you can and do the practice exam! Honestly theres a bit of material to go through and it feels like you have to memorize and regurgitate. Course didn't cover C++ but did use awk in the last week..

Ignore all the glazer's who liked the course solely because it was easy. NOTE that this course was significantly more well-received in comparison to previous years, and I'm glad Woit is improving her ways of teaching this course. Her notes are extensive and well done, and accessible outside of class. Study well and you'll be fine.

In no way is this course easy. You will cover a lot of content. More content than any programming class you have taken before plus you will be learning two languages. Do attend office hours if you have questions, or email. She is very good at getting back to you.

Dr. Woit is very knowledgeable and the tests are fair. Aside from watching the lecture recordings, review the slides and read the textbook if possible. There are a few evaluations anyway, so it's doable. I suggest not cramming and giving yourself the time to absorb the content.

I love Prof Woit. I think her lectures are clear and understandable and provide lots of material you will be tested on. We did have to refer to the 1000 page textbook in preparation for tests as well as had weekly, attendance labs. Overall, if you studied the tests were easy. 2 tests (MC), 1 final (MC), 7% weighted total labs.

The course itself was garbage. There were 3 tests, each comprising several chapters from the textbook. Her lecture slides didn't provide 100% of each test's content. You had to read the textbook. I am only giving her a 5 star because if you read the textbook you got a 4.33 but she also curved the final so hard I went from a 59 to a 96 :D (miracle).

Ok so course itself was a meh. I had to read so many chapters for the exam, but the way the prof decided to maek the exam was so nice. I never expected my exam mark to be good. She did it again like in 393. Hopefully it'll be the same for you guys taking 393 and 590 soon.

One of the better CS courses. The professor explains concepts clearly, and the material, while not easy, is manageable if you put in the effort. Definitely use the free resources like the practice exams and unstuckstudy AI to ace this class.

Dr. Woit is a very experienced and intelligent programmer, I was quite fascinated at seeing her code live in bash and vim. She conveys knowledge in a very elementary way, so that anyone can understand it, that in itself is a talent. She does throw a few curve balls on exams, but they're all in good fun.

Marking is fair and you can tell she cares about her students. Screwed up on test 2 but as long as you do better on the final, it will replace your previous mark.

Great prof! Explains well, and tests were just like the practice.

Specifically for CPS393, a solid professor with easy assessments. However, I have heard other courses are a lot harder with poor course structure.

The professor organizes this class to be as accessible as possible. Provides you with lecture notes, recorded lectures, virtual OR in-person classes, and amazing practice questions for the tests and exam. She curved one of the tests, and final (includes Linux, C, and C++) was so easy that most passed with 80-100%. You cannot fail this course.

Professor Woit so great and generous that she had this rule that if you get at least 50% on the final (Regardless of other marks) , you pass the course , WHATTTT ! But the course is fairly easy and manageable as long as you don't cram too much and try to go with the class.

It was a very easy course, and the professor made it even easier. Nice to understand. Recorded lectures posted on d2l. Option to come to class on Zoom instead of in-class, but in-class is just a live Zoom played on a big screen. Very good at explaining concepts.

Lectures are not interesting, at least for me. However, the notes she gives are more than enough for her tests. If you go over the notes by yourself, you're good to go as the tests were light. Easiest 100%

This prof is one of those who wants their students to pass; she gives more than enough material to get easy 100% on her exams. All that is needed in her class to do well is your own hard work.

This class is an online class through zoom. I've taught myself by reading notes. The class is boring. In this class you will learn bash, C and a little bit of CPP. I found both bash and C to be difficult. I only scored 30% on my first two exams. But the final exam is easier, you just have to study hard and you will pass.

Make sure you do the practice exams

READ THE TEXTBOOK AND GO TO OFFICE HOURS/LECTURES.

THE ACTUAL GOAT!!! rounded my grade up so I have an A- :) has recorded lectures for if you missed class. textbook was pretty bad in my opinion, but if you look at her "slides" first, it'll be easier to understand the textbook

Really underrated professor, she has this great rule that if your final exam mark is greater than the average of your other marks, your final exam will be the final mark ! Explains really well. Great professor !

Her recorded lectures are a great starting point. You can review her slides or use the textbook for a deeper understanding. Don't give up if your midterms don't go well- the final exam can turn things around! Definitely check the exam outline to see where most of the questions will come from- she literally tells you where to focus on the most.
