Good teacher, honest in the grade, could show alittle more care for her students and not be so fast to judge them. I averaged a 95 in her class and which went down to an 85 in a week. Maybe that will tell you something.
She is such a stupid professor I ever had in my lifeeeeeeee
Don't take a class with her unless you need it. If you need (hahahahahaha) good luck. lol
If you want to learn to be a real world Programmer and not just pass an exam take her class. If you don't swim in her class you will drown but she is always there if you get into trouble. Effort equals rewards it is that simple you get what you work for, no gifts in her class she is very accessible.
Some Advice, If You need some easY going creadit and Oh Yeah, Some sleep, DefinitelY take her. AKA The Most DistsY Professor I ever Seen
She admitted to us that she had just learned the language (Java) and she wasn't too sure of herself when she taught it, frequently going for the book. I know you can't memorize it all but this was eery day. Take her if you have some previous experience. Otherwise take Bassen.
HORRIBLE!!!
very good professor for CP 61. Whatever she teach, i understand fully. We do not have need to open book.
Good professor. If you are interested in the subject,everything is OK. If you don't understand her, change your major.
She is horrible, she can't neither explain nor teach. All she does is talk about her two sons, how smart they are
she is a very bad teacher dont ever take her. she is crazy and by the end of the semester she start calling students names and****. we wasted most of the time in her class taking about her stuiped sons.
love her she was gr8 ...helped me the whole semester ...was always there wen u had a question or needed something
the worst teacher I have ever had. She doesnt know how to teach. She does know the subject, the only problem she cant explain it. So if you want to learn, dont take her class.
I recommend you DO NOT take this professor. Please if there is any other professor, take him or her. She does not teach, she just mumbles and does not go over work in class. She just spend every hour of class talking about topics that do not make sense and always talking about sons. Please DO NOT take her class because you will not learn C++
This professor, grading and logic very f grades. She gives a med level projects and you getting working correctly(which isn't easy)that will only earn you a C. So, if doesn't work correctly D and lower. Horrible teacher of an intro course Also answers questions with questions, and she doesn't give many lessons from the book she you have to buy.
I passed the compass in M1 with this professor. However she gave me a D. She explained that if you fail the compass you fail the class. But a D is just passing and for no credits given I think she could of been a better grader. I did all my homework and did so so on her tests.
the professor knows her materials, her problem is her teaching style, she cannot get the students in tune with her nor the subject, her tests were extremely hard ..the averge for the exams were 49, 52 and 65.basically only the students that had prior knowledge of the suject did good. i would not reccomend this professor, btw i did not slack at all
Proffessor is really lame..but easily passed if you pay attention in class...all you have to do is pay really good attention in class and thats the only way to get a A in it...i got a B+
honestly she can't teach and does not allow a calculator. She spends most of the time praising her son and comparing him to her students. You get the grade you deserve.Unless you are a good independent learner you will do bad, so do not take her class.
Did not assign or use textbook until almost end of class. Grading is harsh, exams are much harder than what was covered. Unprofessional. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TAKING THIS PROFESSOR TO ANYONE. AVOID.
this teacher like to talk about her sons 90% of the time and never answer your question and she answer your question with the queation you ask and doesn't teach well and has a ill temper always yelling
Her class is easy in the beginning, but as time goes, her class is seriously hardcore. My test history is, A, then c, then f (15). For the final, I received b- because I assume that everyone complain to her of how hard her test is so she alleviate the difficulty. She doesn't answer your question directly, she give intractable hints.
she is the best professor. if you really want to learn programming then take her class but if you want to go to class for time waste and fun then its better for you to not take her class. she is very helpful. i took her two classes, cp5 and cp62. she is awesome.
Horrible professor everyone in my class is lost. I don't understand how this professor can actually still have a job. The worst thing about it is that she tells us to go to tutoring,and talks about her son. Warning the bottom line is she can't teach anymore. Tenure.
She assigns projects with little guidelines... but grades as if she wrote a book of rules. So really you will find yourself missing points for stuff that she never said... tenure at its best
Programming is not easy. You must devote time and attention to the work Prof Lictenthal is teaching or you will easily get lost. She stated this at the beginning of the semester and it's a 100% true. Some Prof are better at explaining stuff than others but I think she's ok and I'm impressed with her knowledge thus far.
gives too much information at once
this lady is horrible, for someone that wanted to have a career in this, im changing my mind. We barely used the textbook until the end, grades harsh, talks about her son A LOT and does not clealy state things, personally she is a nice lady but when it comes to teaching me, NO WAY ! You guys been warned!
She is great professor. She stated at the beginning that if you wanna to learn programming, you need to practice a lot. So if you don't study at home and practice, you will fail. She always asked if we understood what she explained. If you have a question, you can always ask her after class or email her.
This professor is horrible, she is so confusing . Goes out so fast. Intact she is the worst professor. She will fail you. You will not learn anything In her class. She talks nonsense about her son and stupid things about her life. Teaches abs. Nothing. One of the terrible and worst professor of my life. She fails everyone. HORRIBLE! I hate her,
If you really need this class for your future education, take it seriously (as you should) , and you'll pass. Just work hard and never give up. If you need help with projects, go for tutoring. If you don't understand something after the class, ask the professor and read the book (which explains every topic we had in detail).
The textbook was used for homework problems and for reference. Programming is easy once you learn how to approach problems and her goal is to teach you this methodology. She is very helpful when you ask questions but is careful not to spoon feed you. Her clarity isn't that great but she will explain further if asked.
She's a sweet lady and I enjoyed her class. I could've taken it more seriously and would've ended up with a better grade. Overall she wasn't clear at all times but she was nice and she tried to help when you asked her. Programming isn't for everybody.
Great professor who cares about her students... she is really helpful if you need help. Her assignment are difficult but they consider very easy compares to the real world... Do the project learn Java and you would be fine. Otherwise good luck
This professor is horrible. She expects you to look for everything yourself & spends more time researching to see if someone plagiarized using code on the net or from other students. If u know nothing about C++ OT Java expect to fail her exams as well
Don't take this class unless you mastered C++ or Java every semester 60% of the class drops her because she does not teach. Expect projects weekly with little to no guidelines.
The professor is very knowledgable and helpful. But don't come into class and expect everything to be given to you.Its a COMPUTER language! You're taking a class to learn an entire language no one can memorize it for you, only you can. Do your homework, read the textbook, and quit whining. She can set you up for success, but you have to do the work
She is very smart woman, but I think she expects the same knowledge from her students who just started class. She wants you to understand in once, like she explained you million times.
Very Hard Professor to grasp to. She wasn't very helpful at all and she thought I plagiarized when someone helped me with one of the homework's. Talks mostly about her son during the semester, avoid her.
i took this class 2 time and failed it i would ask her for help and i get a question instead of answer she talk about her son 95%of the time. she is not helpful. know its the third time i might rage on her i Hope their another teacher teaching CP22 or i might never graduate because of her she will destroy Ur credits average RUN!!
Where do I begin, for one she's very unhelpful most of the time, if you ask her a question she answers it with another question. Her test are always hard, she doesn't like students helping other students with work , i learned more about her son then i learned programming SMH, she brags about how at least 3-5 students pass her class a semester. RUN!
this professors syllabus is extremely tough probably the worst syllabus ive seen in my life, you do more programming with raptor and flow charts than learning about microsoft office. she looks for every opportunity to fail you and smile about it
Very confusing professor. TALKS ABOUT HER SON EVERYDAY!!!!!! She always gives you a long story about nothing whenever she's asked a question by her students . If you want to pass STAY CLEAR OF HER.
She really focuses on all subjects and will make you work for your A. She is understanding and as long as you do all the assignments, you will be just fine.
Worst teacher ever, she will fail you and not care. Don't take her! She expects you to have the same knowledge as a experienced programmer would. She doesn't clearly answer your questions. And when you try to learn, it's not good enough for her.
Test 's are huge. Gives project to students like they are a professional programmer. No helping out. individual projects only.
I do not recommend this class to anyone who is not tech-savvy. Her teaching skills are little to none. She teaches basic programing via flowcharts and teaches Excel as well. The flowcharts are the difficult bit. If you know basic Python you can pass no problem, if you don't... you can also score fairly high but you MUST pay attention. Excel is ok.
Horrible, dont take it. Wait for coming semester to pick some other professor, trust me.
She's okay, she gives a lot of extra credit which is why a lot of people passed by doing her extra credit projects, can rack up to 10-20 points if you do all of them. she teaches flowchart, excel, and access, flowchart is the most complicated topic in her cp11 class. excel and access is not too difficult.
She is very hard to understand. I can easily say that you will be all by your own with your projects. She assigns projects before she teaches the concept that related to that project. Be ready to hear a lot of stories about her son, she compares students with her son, how he would do this and that. Definitely not recommend to anyone, too much stres
She is one of the hardest professors in KCC. The lecture is very very heavy and she is making it even harder to understand. She believes that you have to learn programming concepts by yourself. I don't actually understand why CS department gave this course to her. If you have to take CS 14, don't take it from her unless you want to drop your GPA.
She is a great professor. I attended her CS14 class, and I think everyone can get a good grade if you really spend time on assembly language. And she is more focus on algorithm so there will be a lot of interesting algorithm problems with extra credit to do.
She does not teach at all. She keeps talking about her son. Stay far away!
I enjoyed her course a lot. She is a great college professor who really helps you to get knowledge and skills. This professor is for those who are really motivated and interested in programming, not for students who care only about grades.
Broooo Don't even Try!!! I feel like one day her SON will come teach us in class, like she never answer any of your question. she don't know what she's doing, i wonder who hired her SMH. she gives project about stuff you don't learn and complains about you getting help from outside. She's just Bad don't even go! if i could, i would give a -5.5.
She knows how to program doesn't mean that she knows how to teach people to program. Although my final grade is A, I think 95% was came from my self-learning. She just loves to talk about her son, she wasted too many time on talking something which are not related to program. Don't take her.
The only thing hilarious is her credibility as a professor. Not even the second day and HER SON DOES THIS AND THAT. Says she would help if you have trouble but "I can guide you but not help you" sounds like she doesn't know her own subject very well and can't own up the it if she doesn't know the answer.
please dont take her unless you want to drop your gpa , she does not care if you pass of not. she will treat you like you are a master in programming . even tho she does not teach. i dont understand why the dep. of math give her this class. prof. : you have to understand that we have to work and care about other classes too!
Stay away from this professor. Shes the worst teacher in Kbcc! She doesnt teach her class not does she put an effort to teach. She has no care for the students, and their concerns. She gives a quiz almost everyday. I dont know why there is only one professor teaching this course. She does not want to teach her students.
Honestly wasted a good week or two on information that is completely irrelevant to programming, and then tested us on it. When we finally did start programming, we got weekly projects. Some of the later lessons that were required for the last projects, unfortunately, felt rushed and left students confused about how they had to code.
during her class we have 3 test one during the whole semester and the final worth 2 test so if you screw up in the final you GPA will drop like crazy. she does not care even the class is not to hard, but she makes it harder!!! worst sorry to say that but is the truth.
The worst professor ever I had. Please dont take this class. She will fail you even you are the best hacker or programmer. She Always says that her son as Superhero.
Worst of all time
The worst
THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORST
She is unable to explain concepts in a clear and concise manner; you're better off watching YT videos. Attendance is required so you still have to watch her lectures. Requirements for programs are often vague and left to the student to figure out, and she takes off a lot of points for small errors. Good luck and godspeed to those who must take her.
She's the worst professor I've ever had! Doesn't help at all, gives projects, but doesn't explain them. She tries to fail you and she'll if you won't do extra credits. But how can you do it if she doesn't teach you how to code?
THE WOOOOOORST
She is a great professor, and she is very patient with the students.
Not the best prof at kbcc. The problem with her is that she is very boring as a lecturer, she can't formulate her questions right and she gives very little time on her exams (less than 45 min). Her hws/projects due dates are Sunday mornings, not Mondays. If you take her, good luck!
Grades very harshly for minor errors on projects and talks too much about irrelevant stuff during her lectures. When criticizing your code she'll show you her code as an example which is an unorganized mess without comments, often which what she criticizes you the most about. I learned more from YouTube and the textbook then from her. STAY AWAY
Please KBCC help your students. This is not fair for us students for having professor like this who doesn't know how to teach and make lot's of mistakes in the lecture and left us confusing with labs and homework. I have been trying my best to teach from YouTube and that's the only thing I could do because I don't want to repeat another semester.
One of the worst professors at kbcc, if you are gonna take CP 500, Just take it in the summer or hopefully in the winter with a different professor. i would recommend taking Philip Litowsky, you actually learn and don't need to stress as long as you show that you are trying
She doesn't care about the students if they are learning or not. She don't know how to teach and talks mostly about her son half of the lecture. Don't explain the lab and project clearly and left the student with no clue. KBCC for real tho needs to hire new teacher for this class. Doesn't KBCC sees that most students dropping her class. pls step up
Doesnt teach anything and expects student to do everything
She doesnt try to convey the concepts to the students. She will mess up and do mistakes in her lecture. Shes not thorough with her teaching. She will blame CS 12 and CS 13 professors because she doesnt know who to teach. She loves to talk how good is son his, compare with students and ofcourse his son > students. Take this class in other college
This Professor seems like do not care about students at all. No matter how hard you study and try to do good in this class she will find every single possible to give you less points whether it be labs or projects. This semester she even posted on the announcement that students should drop out from her course which left me hopeless and giving up:(
Her lectures never helped me:( She don't care about students at all and their academic life. Her class was one of the worst experience I have ever had in my life. I still gets night mare just thinking about her.
When you can't word out what you want to say to your students, so that when they misunderstand it they get punished for it because you don't know how to use your punctuation marks. That's this professor for you. Hey, but at least you know how to add 1's and 0's right? Half her course is copy paste youtube link. Might as well pay youtube the tuition
Don't take this class with this instructor.
She must not teach or be in computer science field. That is it.
DONOT Take her if you care learning and your grade.
This professor is unprofessional she talks about her son's career and either refuses to help students that are struggling. She gives little time for exams and gets angry if students are failing even though she is barely teaching them the material properly. Doesn't try to demonstrate proper knowledge of assembly language in a beginner friendly way.
do not take her in your CS.
Crazyyy how she is still teaching this course. I have taken her class two years ago and It was the worst decision I have ever made. She is the worsttt of all and this lady do not know how to teach at all. I don't know how she became a professor. She spend half of her class talking about her son and bro catches student when they get help from online
Not taking this course again under this professor.
This is hands down the worst professor I have ever taken. She does not know how to teach, half the class dropped the class, and has the worst test reviews you'll ever read. She is literally the worst teacher in KBCC. Stay away from this professor, please. Anyone I know who has taken this class agrees. She barely teaches and then gives assignment.
Definitely one of the, if not the worst CS professor ever, she can't explain and her assignments are super difficult to understand. All she teaches is the background resources about her son. I am gunna take it again this fall but hopefully with a professor who could teach.
This class gave me depression
She is awful, you can spent the whole semester in her class and learn nothing, she doesn't know how to teach anything. Never explains anything in class, starts to explain and than start and story or gets lost on her thoughts. A whole semester was such a waste of time, you have to learn everything by your owns. Don't take CP6200
She has no idea how to teach, I don't know how she became a professor. Homework, labs, projects are so difficult to understand what she is asking, she expects you to know everything. DO NOT TAKE HER
she is a good professor, listen to her, watch her posted videos, talk to her. she is nice, ask questions. you need to do some outside class practice to understand and memorize material. there gonna be labs, (you can use your own computers to do them)
worst professor
THE WORST PROFESSOR AT KBCC. she's awful, a very tough grader, and you won't learn anything except about her son's career. DO NOT TAKE HER.
She was horrible. Most students struggled and asked for help, but the instructions were unclear. She knew Mac users couldn't do RAPTOR assignments and offered no solution. She barely taught, expected instant understanding, and despite doing most of the work, I got an F. She told STEM majors they weren't fit for STEM.
Don't take the class, get an e-permit for another college or just transfer. Genuinely the worst professor I've ever had or witnessed in my 24 years of being alive. You will learn nothing.
