wonderful professor that really cares for her students, probably the best professor i've had so far. as long as you put effort into trying to understand and complete assignments, you'll do well. i don't have enough characters for all this, but basically she does everything right. absolute GOAT. UF really needs more profs like her!!

Professor Tavassoli is a very caring teacher, and it is clear she tries her hardest to be there for her students and provide plenty of fair opportunities and resources for us to excel. While I believe she could definitely work on clarity in her lecturing, this course was extremely easy and she was a great help and always asked for our feedback.

Professor Tavassoli is extremely caring and wonderful to have. If you put in the time and effort to attend lecture and study, this class will be an easy A with her focus on learning rather than testing. She allows for retakes on exams and open note quizzes, and does everything in her power to try to help her students succeed. Shoutout TAs too.

She is incredibly motivated about what she does.

Broadened my knowledge Serious Accessible Helpful Well-informed

Despite her kind demeanor, she was deeply committed to and serious about her job. She consistently went out of her way to support students, offering extra opportunities to help us improve our grades. Wish I could get another course with her.

"While she is a knowledgeable and well-informed lecturer and also polite and approachable with students,she does have some minor shortcomings, such as speaking too swiftly at times and occasionally appearing unprepared for the material. Atleast Unlike many boring poker-faced professors, she stands out as a neat and well-dressed and smiling person.

she's doing well overall and has the potential to improve even more with time. Her careful selection of TAs indicates she's thoughtful and values organization.

I feel I could be more active in class, but I'm still not satisfied with my grade. I think she could be a bit more generous when grading

Professor Tavassoli was amazing in that she's one of the few STEM profs at uf that really cares about your gpa. She gave I think 8% in extra credit opportunities that were not at all hard. The exams had a non proctored retake to get points back and the exams had a cheat sheet allowed. Loved her

I had her last semester and she was great. She did a pretty good job despite hurricanes setting us back. The class is completely different this semester and she no longer teaches the course but she still teaches programming 2 and her c++ lectures were decent. She's very helpful and she made sure that any issues in the class were resolved for us.

Hard Exams but lenient with retakes actually life saving.

While the class structure itself may be annoying, as a Professor she is clear about her guidelines and wants students to succeed. We just took our first exam, and technical difficulties caused an average about 2 letter grades below expected. Despite this, retakes help boost your grade immensely. As a professor, she genuinely wants you to succeed.

If you understand the slides and do the labs (without chatgpt), you will do fine on the exams. Otherwise, you will be very angry like all the 1.0 raters who failed. And even if you do fail an exam, you can still get a high grade because of the class grade's weighting.

She is very receptive to feedback from students about her lectures. Her class is well-taught, and it is easy to succeed if you pay attention and keep up with office hours if you fall behind. It's sad she gets review bombed by people who can't code.

If you think you can't get good grades by using chatgp4 Your dreams won't come ture

Objectively, 4/5. 5/5 after the review bombing. Exams are tough and a big problem, but with the not honorlocked/timed retake you can always get back half the points you lose and still pass with a B. They only account for 24% of the grade. However, technical problems with Codio make them frustrating. Lastly, using AI will get you flagged, so don't.

I don't know yet my grade but But I think you gotta ready to read. I hope I'm not going to fail. Sometimes Can't keep up with her pace might be cause of the short of time in class. Let's see what's happening in the near future.

If you are a lazyA, you are gonna have hard time with. But if you collaborate onto classes and labs you will have no problem. I'm sure I'm getting

wish I could take more classes with her. she's smart, nerdy, and tidy. She's also very accessible outside of class, which makes learning even easier. While some exams can be tough, the extra credit opportunities help balance things out. Which forced me put more efforts. Wish you get an A like me.

Just get ready to read so there would no problem. She is very cool prof. You don't feel anxious around her.

I put in a lot of effort to get good grades. The slides alone don't seem to be enough you have to study on your own as well. Maybe the class time is also too short. She is not a negative person. Maybe TA's can be more helpful.

That was a credit for me. But you need to study. Had difficulties at first but ended well.

She only needs to explain more and give us more examples. She doesn't have that much of time on class but she could manage this with her TAs.

You only need to do selfe study out of the class too. The time is not adequate. And she has this easygoing personality which is good for someone like me to manage my anxiety. Gave me the courage to ask questions out of the class too.

She was one of the most coolest teachers I have ever had. So energetic and neat. she does everything swiftly lol. You have to go with her pace. That's the difficult part. The rest was fine maybe she could help us more by solving more problems And coding.

She is OK. Just you need to practice more on your own

She is kind and caring professor who genuinely supports her students. She grades fairly and is always willing to help with any questions out or in class .

She is weather very punctual or busy. Comes at exact time She is not grumpy / is easy going welcoming. She seems like deliberately wants you to have selfe study too. Cause the slides are not covering all the materials. Or maybe the class time is not sufficient. Overall she is better than the most of professor I had.

At first, I found her teaching method difficult to understand, which annoyed me. But, over time, I began to enjoy attending her lectures. She is energetic, and it appears in the rhyme of teaching.

She is OK. If I ever had an issue with a thing at class she had always been available out when ever needed.

She is just nice Waiting for new courses !!

Tavassoli is an extremely pretty professor ngl, only reason I even show up to lectures, but the course framework makes cpp vert easy to learn and projects are understandable.

She needs to be more specific About what are we going to face at exams The rest are not bad.

She makes it difficult to anticipate your grade. But the extra credits are bonus.

She is good teacher. If you go with her pace.

Just like other lectures. With stylish look. Also seems caring but You will be reported once if she or her team find you cheating. My friend wasn't lucky enough in that. Have no idea why AI is forbidden to use if the future will be dominated by it. We should learn and use AI. Not old syllabuses.

It was quiet good. Once talked to her in person and have to say She got attitude man ! Will apply to be one her TA's soon.

She is super cool. Smiling. Wondering Where is she from? Just maybe she can tell her TA's to solve more problems.

The only problem I had with her was using AI. She has no hesitation to report AI users. Why so? It is invented to make us live better? First exam I failed cause of that. She is OK.

She is good. I think she is not that experienced. But has potential.

Just would like to enrol on all her classes. Her presence is a motivation to study. :) Although she is not a easy grader. :(

Nice behavior. Everything is fast at her class. Need to have self study. Good for nerds!

She actually changes things when students have issues

Don't listen to bad reviews, the material is not easy but the professor is great. She is the most caring professor I've ever had. We had a problem with Codio on exams and she literally contacted the company to make them fix it, and she listens to student feedback too. I'd give her a 5 even if she was a bad lecturer. She is setting an example.

Most caring professor ever! I wish the docs for projects were written better though. It seems that she is a new professor so it's understandable that she is not the greatest lecturer, but she makes up for it with a lot of effort and care.

She is like You wanna ask her to explain more But at same time you think it might make you embarrassed cause the lack information. I don't know it's me or she doesn't gives more examples. She sounds caring

She should spend more time to explain us class time is not enough. She was easy to access out of class. BTW anyone knows how old is she ?

She is so tough in grading and the exams sometimes are not covered all. Meanwhile you can't hate her !

She is good. You can get better grade if you attend to labs.

She listens to student ! Exams are according to the syllabuses. Retakes extra credits no Ai

The classes are kinda difficult The extra motivations she brings helps you to get the score. I thought I'm gonna fail but I did my job thanks to her. Also you don't see a frumpy one like I had last semester

I don't think I could pass this difficult course without her method of teaching . Against other so called profs she is there to help you win. Also i could access her out of class too. TAs are helpful.

I'm really happy I got my grade. I worked hard during semester and i wasn't optimistic about my score. She is nice.

The class might seems to be advanced. But labs and extra credits really help you pass the course. At first I wasn't comfortable at class and wnated to withdraw but thanks God I didn't. She really is caring.

Personally her style of teaching (going through slides) isn't my favorite, but she tried to incorporate coding in a IDE when she could. She would come to the labs and check on students and ask for suggestions. Class was super easy to get an A with lots of extra credit and exam retakes. The class is def more involved than prog1 but to be expected.

very forgiving grading policies, this class is super easy. just do the labs as they're assigned and don't let the projects sneak up on you

She is super nice. Extra credits helped me alot.

I'm extra happy. And wish she presents more courses.

I felt she is like my older sister.she is kind l. I'm not good at programming so it was difficult for me to be honest. But she is paving your road to go. Just don't use AI at all the TAs are sneking around to catch you.

Very lenient grading system. Exams are easy because you can bring a piece of paper for reference. I didn't like her way of teaching (going through slides quickly) so be prepared to use external resources to teach yourself. The most frustrating part of this class is C++, not the professor.

The class was I don't know advanced or she thinks it is. Because you need to study on your own too. Or maybe it was me. She makes it up with extra bonus.

You should self study. The class time is not enough. I didn't attend all labs.

I feel so bad reading all these bad reviews. She's super lenient compared to other instructors in CISE, gave lots of extra credit that can basically boost you up a whole letter grade. Her lectures aren't the most engaging, and the auto-graded exams can be finicky, but exam questions stick to the materials that you should know. SHE'S NOT THAT BAD.

At first I did not like her, but I really did grow to like her overtime due to her showing how much she truly cares about students passing. She was willing to push back a couple of project deadlines due to the deadline overlapping with an exam for a different CS class. My advice, DO NOT PROCRASTINATE ON THE LABS/PROJECTS. They are time-consuming.

I really enjoyed Dr Tavassoli, she is very caring and sweet. I thought lectures were pretty good too although a lot of people complained. It is a hard course but not impossible if you stay on track and put in effort. Start the projects and labs early. A lot of extra credit opportunities as well. I would definitely recommend!

She was not bad at all, but people got low scores on an exam and rushed to give one-star reviews. Granted, the first exam was rough, but she recognized that gave everyone the chance to redo it for partial credit. Also, the class itself is pretty easy; if you do all the labs and projects, you will pass easily. One tip DON'T PROCRASTINATE START EARLY

Easy class

She is nice. Even could be better

While Ms. Tavassoli got a lot of hate during the time I had her, I think she is a wonderful professor. She was responsive to the class's issues and when we had problems during the exam, she gave a curve which bumped our exam grades up a lot. She also adapted her lecture style to fit our needs, something I haven't seen any prof do. Very nice lady.

A kind, strong, well- educated woman. Extra credits. Caring . We need more of these ladies as professor at university.

The class itself is extremely easy, almost comically so. As long as you do all the work assigned, you'll pass. I almost never went to lecture in person, and I still learned everything with either the recorded lectures, help materials linked, or the textbook she provided/video supplements online (look at the yt she linked-its great) do not use AI.

She was good. But she needs to slow down. We are just beginners! I studied alot of class. she was accessible out of the class too

Her class can be a bit disorganized but she is very understanding about extensions and curving. Just talk to her and get help on the material.

Ma fav stylish prof :-) All good.

As a girl, I really like her attitude. But she needs to put herself on our shoes . We are just a beginner. Also You need to study on your own . I found her available out of the class too.

The class is very easy. Exams are very simple if you do the work. She tells you exactly what is on the exams. Labs and projects aren't hard, but they do take some time so don't procrastinate. She is VERY lenient in grading. Very easy class overall.

the key for success is to Pay attention to the examples she says is important. Test were similar to those she got us before. Tbh I couldn't imagine I could get an A. Maybe i was lucky.

Easy grading ! Heavy class

I passed. A couple of things to know if you're thinking about taking this course: you'll need to study on your own too. The course isn't very well organized. Make sure you attend the classes and pay attention to the important examples. If you do that, you should pass. overaly it was OK. Also, she's not a boring one appearance-wise
