If you are already familiar with all the functions of MS Office, you should have no problems here. Artigas seems to know enough to get through the basics, but she is no expert. She also canceled quite a few classes during my semester.
Beware of Artigas! Her class is useless and teaches nothing that you don't already know. Yes she cancles class a lot but in the end it takes away from excel which she doesnt explain just gives u tests and projects and doesnt help you with them!
this class teaches you a few things that you might not know about office but other than that nothing new has been learned thus far.
If you are planning to take upper level programming class, don't take 2911 for her.
DOES SHE EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE IS TEACHING. SHE SEEMS A BIT CLUELESS. A BUNCH OF US ARE NOW STRUGGLING IN OTHER CLASS BECAUSE OF THAT. SHE SHOULD TRY ANOTHER SUBJECT; NOT COMPUTERS
Perhaps my situation was different than everyone elses but I thought that she was a great teacher! Maybe she's not an expert, but she tries to devote herself to her work. I learned a lot in her class. She takes an understanding to her students needs, which is always good.
Damn she's crazy

if you just take notes and study them, you're good!
She's great for the introductory class, not sure about the upper division classes. Everything is broken down so the most computer iliterate person can catch on. Her accent is a bit difficult at times though.
She's kinda tough. A lot of projects all worth 100 points each. Don't work with partners cuz if any two students hav similar code she won't hesitate to FD your @ss and try to get you kicked out of HPU, for real, happened to me. lol...Nice lady though!
This class is more difficult than some may think.
Ms. Artigas if very enthusiastic about computer science and has great teaching techniques!

she needs to learn to speak ****ing english...shit

She's cool, she gets ticked off really quickly. Other than that if you pay attention you can pass the class no problem
Her class, is an introduction into computer sciences. I felt she was teaching it to us like, we were already working for microsoft. I think it would be easy if computer science was your major, but if its not, its very difficult. she is nice, but it seemed she got mad easily and she never returned my e-mails.
she's cool and very honest and sometimes understanding. But she makes an easy class harder than it has to be. Homework is a little crazy and a test are difficult. she answered a few of my emails but not consistantly. she doesnt return work and a lot of people are afraid they didnt do well in her class. doesnt like to tell you what your grade is.
Some people say her class is hard. you better not miss any of her classes, coz once you miss it you will not catch up easily. she teaches fast. She canceled classes alot, and she lets students end class early during some quizzes or test days. You need to take a lot of notes for her class! notes are useful for her class. you ned 2 knw everythin in i

Once she has her class favorites, if you are not one of them GOOD LUCK!! Homework appears easy but ussually is NOT! One good thing is she reveiws right before quizzes! Also if you arent doing well one good grade on a big project can change a lot!! Take tons of notes and do not miss class cause one missed step makes it very hard to move on!!
Didn't learn anything. Better to test out of the class.
SHE KICKS ASS!!!! I loved her but yes she does pick favorites so get on her good side. She does have really hard tests but if you take good notes you will be fine.
DONT TAKE HER. you'll regret it. super rude at times not very understanding, treats you like a strict middle school teacher would. i say stay away
Gabby can be a difficult teacher but only because she has high expectations. Attend her class and do the homework and you should be fine. TAKE LOTS OF NOTES! She's not hard on grading at all, in fact if you do the homework and make an honest effort she will most likely give you full credit!
The assignments given are way to unclear.
DROP IT NOW!!!
Awesome professor! Some directions were unclear, but just ask her & she'll gladly help you. Not super easy yet not too hard. If you're a good student (do all work on time, attend all classes w/out sleeping, etc.) she boosts your grade up! I was supposed to have gotten a B+ but she gave me an A- instead =D She didn't reply to my weekend e-mails =/
She's a little weird. If you know nothing about computers don't take her because she doesn't help much. She expects too much out of students for teaching a gen. ed. course. Waay too much hw given. But overall, an easy teacher.
She sucks at teaching. She's full of herself and her class is boring as hell. Everything in this class is unclear especially her assignments and projects. Drop it as soon as you can!!!!
She was one of my favorite teachers...she always made sure that everyone was helped and was on the right track...Just make sure you do all the homework and projects and you will be fine....She is super easy...if you know what she is talking about.....
I liked her enough to take a second class with her. She's a pain in the butt if you aren't interested in learning, but she really does teach quite well if you have a previous interest in the coursework. If you're just taking core classes with her, you can't expect to be thrilled. MOST core classes suck. Get over it!
Don't take her unless you have some knowledge of computers. She's not helpful at all and she gives so much work without explaining it, she assumes you know how to do everything. She focus alot on projects but it's only 20% of the grade. And the exams is 55% of your grade and she doesn't even go over it enough. She suck don't take her.
If you're lazy, you'll fail. If you take the time to do the work and show up to class, you'll do well. If you're still having trouble, you can always see her after class, and she'll help you out. I took two of her classes because I thought she was fantastic!
She is really good teacher.
Great profeessor! Helpful to students. One of my favorite professors
Wonderful Professor
i thought she was amazing, she has a good heart and helps you out if you pay attention. dont talk while shes talking, dont go if youre going to sleep shell just embarass you. its basic computers, not rocket science. have a little bit of comp knowledge and youll do fine. the tests arent too bad if you review, and the projects are pretty easy too
She is a dumb teacher shes a boracha. she lost all of our homework and quizzes and then decided not to count them as grades. she is the only teacher who has not posted our grades yet. she can't speak english well. and she canceled class at least 6 times.
This teacher is rediculous
More interesting class than i had expected prior to attending. Her tests are not too difficult and as long as you complete the projects you are instructed to, you will do fine. Homework is pretty easy and as long as you attend class and put a tiny bit of effort in, you will have an A, no problem. I would definitely recommend her for this class
This Teacher is horrible and she do not know what she is taking about (CRAZY). She is not willing to help her students when I ask her a question she said ( you do not know?.. ) and when I came to ask her about something in excel she did not help me and said ask your classmates to help you or go to excel help. she always cancels classes for stupid r
The work she assigns is easy as long as you come to class, listen, & take good notes. She's never on time to her classes, and she doesn't return assignments/exams back on time either. Her attitude, though, is what irritates the students the most. She's full of herself & doesn't like it when others waste her time. Puts students on theSpotAllTheTime!
She's an OKAY teacher. Not great, but not bad. Just keep up with the homework and you'll do fine. Don't expect to get grades returned anytime soon though. For future references, WATCH what you do or say .. literally. She takes everything personally & doesn't have trouble speaking her mind and telling you off. Overall, she's okay.
She gets mad easily.
Really cool teacher...very nice outside of the classroom...she comes off hard but I think its because students take advantage of her laidback style...respect her and she will respect you
She cancels a lot of classes, usually monday classes. Very easy class. Very nice except to this one girl who always came late. I think she dropped the class after. Artigas does have a temper. The class before ours gets her angry and we could hear it while we wait for that class to finish. She calm and relax for our class though.
Class gets canceled too much. This class is boring and the pace is very slow. She almost always late for class. Very slow paced class. She doesn't tolerate "rude" people. You have to stop what you're doing and listen to her. She teaches some bad coding styles. Usually unprepared for class and spends class time preparing handouts or correcting paper
The professor is great, she really just likes students that are respectful of her and her lectures. If you are one of those students that doesn't like to take notes, or listen to the teacher and not backtalk her then you don't need to take her class. If you do the work (which is an appropriate work load) and show up to class your fine.
I was informed by a friend that she was openly discussing my performance and personality with one of her past student with no regard for my privacy, while being unaware of my friend?s presence. She is rude, and unapproachable in my opinion, and apparently other students have complained that she talks about her personal life a lot in class.
Thought this class would be more interactive being a programming class. Unfortunately, most of the class is listening to Artigas stumble through her understanding of Java. She is ESL , this can be confusing and sometimes she doesn't even know what she is saying.She is also innapropriate with her students and is even rumored to have made out with on
This class was easy. If you just show up and do the handouts you will be fine with test. She does cancel class a lot and is late even more but it doesn't really matter. She also has bad memory which tends to work out more to the students benifit. Quizes were even forgotten about. Most importantly dont talk or use cell phones. She will kick you out.
She's a different breed. However her classes are super easy if you show up, do your work and dont complain. Its pretty much a guarenteed A.
She was always late, but was chill with the work.
She is a good teacher. She provided the information you needed, but did NOT "hold your hand." She was also very helpful with providing assistance.
Easy class. You actually learn morerhan you think you do. Class was cancelled 4 times and 9 out of 10 times shell be late. If you pay attention (like you should) you'll get a good grade. Otherwise, good luck. If you're on her bad side, you kind of stay there. If you're lost an need help, she will help
The class is easy, just show up for class, turn in your homework and you should be fine. However, she does give a lot of homework.
It's an easy class just come to class and do your homework. However, she does give a lot of homework..
She was a very nice professor and interesting. I learned some new things on ppt, word, and excel. There are quizzes, a midterm, and final--all of which aren't THAT difficult if you study. The only problem I had was that she returned our hw and stuff late. Other than that, she was one cool and funny lady!
shes really nice but not very helpful. she gives slack in the beginning and then is strict towards the end. just come to class and you will be fine. she gives alot of work but its manageable! tests and quizzes are a breeze.
She is a horrible teacher. Programming is difficult and should be taught by someone who is clear and precise. She made a lot of mistakes on exams, points were deducted when they shouldn't have, there is no extra credit, english is her second language so there is a language barrier. Worst of all she is the only teacher for this course.
She's the worst Ive had. Cancel's class a lot. Tells student's your personal business. Poor communication, poor instruction, threatens to fail you every five minutes, very un-ethical person. No support. Unfit to be considered a teacher.
Really moody teacher, takes things personally. Doesnt really help out, lets you figure it out on your own or gets angry. Never used the books that cost $150 which she said we needed. Very unclear on homework assignments that are due almost every week.
She was by far the worst teacher ever! I would highly recommend for someone to NEVER take her! She never made sense and she picked favorites! DONT TAKE HER! She is extremely unreasonable! She is also a very big hypocrite and says one thing and does another. Again DON?T TAKE HER!
You will do well if you take the notes, but she loves to play favorites. Gets distracted easily. She is always late, cancels class quite often. Will kick you out for not paying attention. Homework was not bad, neither were tests.
She is a great professor. well, for csci1011 she is. She's super helpful and genuinely cares about students' grades. Remember, we're in college now, so it's our own responsibility as students to do the work that requires us to get an A. we're not 12 anymore. She is super nice and if you're a good student she'll help with no problem.
She is very good at the content and keeping the class interested. However, I did not enjoy the projects. We barely used the book. Even though I did get an A in her class, her project instructions were vague. She is very helpful when you ask for help. She likes when students ask for her input. Just be prepared for instructions being vague.
This course was introduced by her as a modern take on computer science. BS! 80% of what we learned was the history of PCs, how they work, how to code stuff, excel and so on. Almost NOTHING modern, mobile technology stuff. The first half of the semester she was really mean. She yelled at those who asked questions, made them feel dumb. Hated it!
attend the class and do what she ask you for and you will be fine
Gabby is so sweet, she's also a really good professor and tries her best to help you when you need it. Her lectures are very clear and she does her best to help us do well in the class. I love her!!! And she doesn't require a textbook for the CSCI1061 course
I love the professor. Shes very understanding and will accept late work. If youre struggling, she will take the time to see what you are doing wrong and can give good ideas and tips on how you can improve. She gives a good amount of homework, but the labs can be very long. Participate during reviews. She gets mad when you dont.
Gabriela Artigas is hands down the single worst professor I have had at HPU. The biggest problem that I had with her was that she does not teach what is described in the course description and/ or the syllabus. The entire class was about Microsoft Excel and not "Mobile Technologies for the 21st Century". I would avoid this teacher like the plague.
She is okay. Some days she could be the sweetest teacher, and other days she could be hardcore mean. Tons of quizzes at the beginning of the semester. Midterm is basically the quizzes. Just participate and go to class, then you will be fine.
She can be a good teacher SOMETIMES! She takes everything personal and can be super harsh to students who don't know the material. By far the worst professor I've had at HPU. Her attitude towards her students is like Bipolar and you never know if you're going to get yelled at for absolutely nothing. Horrible.
Great professor! Isn't afraid to cancel classes. She will brighten up your day!
we did LOTS of different topics but never fully went in depth for any. She was very disrespectful to some students and brings her personal life into the classroom. Gets offended easily and she will not provide you with the information you missed, so you should make a friend in your class to help you. Hard to understand when talking at times.
The class itself is not that hard, but Gabby is all over the place. She seems nice at first but will randomly flip out on people for no reason and is SUPER disrespectful to her students. The class is pleasant some days and she is very helpful but then randomly she will be super mean and isn't willing to help you at all. Be ready for anything.
Professor Artigas is probably the worst professor I have had at HPU. If you're her first morning class she will 100% shows up late at least 15 minutes every single day, including the first day. Her teaching was all over the place and her homework rarely reflected the lecture. Does not change her style of teaching when students ask for help.
She is very abrasive, and takes out her anger on her students often. She has called many students names. Do not sign up for this class unless you're prepared to be bullied by your professor on the daily. She also values her time greatly but couldn't care less about wasting ours. Class always starts 15 min late and is often canceled
I had Professor Artigas for Foundations of Programming. In all reality, the textbook was not necessary for those who took notes. She takes things very personal. With that, a perceived act of disrespect can create a hostile scenario. She tries very hard to help her students become successful. She is very sweet, but don't test her patience.
Gives tons of work and always preaches about procrastination when she procrastinates the worst. She will not grade assignments until the very end and likes to make you feel bad about yourself in front of the entire class instead of being professional and having a conversation in private. She can also be quite racist and thinks its funny.
If you take a morning class with her, beware that she will always show up late and won't email the class about it. She says that attendance isn't part of your grade but will shame you if you haven't been showing up. I recommend going because she doesn't record or upload lectures, so if you miss class you have to ask notes from someone else.
The lectures are not engaging and the course itself is not about Mobile Tech but about Excel, Wix, Canva, and PowerPoint. She often procrastinates on grading things so if you're the type to want your grades in ASAP, do not have her as a teacher.
She mixes up work with other classes and puts questions from her other classes on quizzes, she shows up to class 30 minutes late multiple times, waits until the last day of class to put in all of your grades, and never answers her emails. She is a stressful person to deal with. I am disappointed that this was my first coding class experience.
Gabby is a mixed bag - can be super helpful one day, then tough to deal with the next. Stick to the textbook and notes, engage in class, and try unstuck ai for extra prep. Overall, workable if you're diligent.
Gabby is a mix of personalities. She can be very sweet but one second later she can get can get very defensive. She takes things very personally. She is not willing to help you if you miss class for ANY reason including excused absences. I don't think the material itself is very hard just show up to class and take notes and you will be fine.
Professor tends to take things (unintentional actions, her perception of things, etc.) very personally but gets mad if you demand the same respect. If you ever meet her you'd understand what people mean by her communication barriers. If you show up late for class she'll pick on you. She'll bring her untrained dog into class. Try to avoid.
Honestly, I would not take her class. Showed up very anxious everyday wondering if she would call someone out or take something personally. She consistently came 10+ minutes late to class and doesn't grade stuff till the last days of the semester. Course material was very easy though, so if you show up everyday and pay attention you'll get an A.
