Giulia Alberini is a prof who really cares about the success of her students, and is quick to respond to questions (in great detail). Her knowledge about her subject is apparent, and she does a great job articulating herself to first-time computer science students.

Giulia Alberini, while in her first semester as a professor, has proven herself to be extremely competent in her teaching ability and lecturing. She is always very willing to answer questions with as much detail as needed and will go above and beyond to ensure that you understand the material. She is very supportive and an all around great person!

Professor Alberini is one of the best professors I've had at McGill. This is even more impressive given the fact I took her during her first semester teaching. One of the most caring people I have ever met. An extremely enjoyable class, with (dare I say it) enjoyable assignments that prove how much one actually learns from Giulia.

Giulia Rocks. Her accent is everything. She is awesome and i would love to take her class again.

SHE BAKED US DESSERTS FOR OUR LAST CLASS!!! She is the cutest person ever! Loves teaching and loves helping her students succeed.

LOVE HER! Clearly knows what she is doing and wants to see students succeed!

Her lovely Italian accent makes you want to spend the entire day listening to her lectures! Very captivating and concise, she knows how to convey the material efficiently while successfully engaging 300 people. Her lectures are a nice balance of the material and class exercises. The lecture notes are thorough and sufficient for reference.

Nothing to say

Kindest professor ! One of the best I've had at McGill, especially great for first year course. Incredibly caring and understanding, she gives thorough lectures and tests are fair!!

Great teacher, keeps the class engaged and interested. Moves at the right pace. I am never confused about what we need to know for the test. Her assignments are clear and she gives tons of examples in class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER CLASS

Sweetest and most caring teacher ever! Highly recommend her.

Giulia is such a sweet professor. Her lectures are very well-organized and all the recordings are online along with most of the codes we use during lectures (practice codes). Giulia also answers quickly to most of the questions about assignments and exams on the discussions (MyCourses) which is very helpful. I definitely recommend this professor.

ok firstly, we wrote the final on the 20th at 9am and the grades were up less than 24 hours. super fun class! heads up though, the class is pretty tough. the assignments are very long and the short answer questions on the exam are extremely difficult. she's super funny and accessible outside of class. her typos are hilarious. we love giulia

I love Giulia!!! This class does require a good amount of work and the assignments do take some time, but it's definitely worth it and fun too. Warning-- the short answer questions on the exams are very very hard, but usually the long answer balances it out. I got a B+ but could've very easily gotten an A if I had put in work for the midterm.

Giulia is an excellent professor. She explains the material clearly and efficiently and works at a pace suitable for the class. Assignments are very doable if you attend lectures and stay on top of the material. She makes the material interesting and engaging!

Giulia is a wonderful Prof. The notes she provided were clear and she was always accessible. The assignments were quite lengthy and the exams were fairly difficult, but overall, it was definitely a worthwhile experience.

She explains everything very well, and she is willing to make the class slower if she finds out students are falling behind. The assignments and exams are not easy, but there are old exams for practicing. Do NOT do the assignment at last minute, I suggest do it a week earlier before the due day. She is super nice and approachable.

Clear teacher. So respectfulc humble, funny, and a beautiful person inside out. Also, theres something exceptionally lovely about her body language.

Amazing instructor! She will teach you how to code in Java step by step in class. Everything shown in class would be a part of assignment which is helpful. Final and midterm MC are a little bit hard. Overall, Giulia is an amazing instructor! Choose her!

Lovely, lovely, lovely person! She has the ability to make you smile even during the midterm (if you happen to come across her questions). If you aren't in her class, you are certainly missing out because she's a beauty who makes you laugh more than you should in class. She prepares you well for the midterm and truly cares about your success.

Great professor! Always ready to answer questions and explain in details. She is available for any students, ready to help you. Her slides ar clear and accessible. Would recommend to anyone!

Great prof! Very detailed slides and instructions. Very manageable exams and assignments for beginners in programming. Would definitely take again!

Excellent time spent taking her class! Besides being caring professor, Giulia is also a natural comedian.

Best prof I've ever had. The class isn't hard but for many, programming can be tricky; she made everything crystal clear and her lectures were so entertaining. Would take this class again just to have her!

Prof Alberini is amazing! She knows how to teach and engage hundreds of students who know nothing about CS. The assignments take up a lot of time, but they're rewarding in the end. I took her class in Fall 2017... the midterm was hard, but the final was much better. Just make sure you practice, practice, practice if you have no coding experience!

So happy I had her for comp202. I had zero coding knowledge prior to this class, and her method of doing in-class coding really helped me. She explains very well and her slides are really helpful. I don't go to office hours but I emailed her several times for the assignments, and her replies were sufficient to answer my questions.

Amazing prof! Barely went to class, but the lecture recordings were enough to understand the material (the recordings also did NOT put me to sleep :D !). Super clear and does a bunch of examples. Assignments take time, but then you barely have to study for the final imo. Overall, great teacher and great class!

Such an amazing professor. Knows what concepts might be difficult and what questions might arise and modifies her explanations accordingly. Posts solutions to everything, and is just generally super clear. Giulia, hope you read this b/c it's my 4th year and I NEVER bother to rate profs but I came here specifically to say how great you are!!

The best of the best but the final was kind of not as easy as the previous years idk why; however, still my fav prof

Amazing class and amazing lectures. She clearly shows that she cares for her students which is very nice. She manages to teach everything in a simple way that makes everyone understand. Simply, the best prof there is.

Giulia always tries to explain some abstract concepts over and over again, using different examples to help us understand.

Amazing prof, helpful inside and outside of class

Available, helpful professor, Giulia tries and succeeds to make her classes interactive and directly related to the final and midterm.

AMAZING!!!

She's tbh great

I loved this class The prof is really amazing, she explains really well and most of the class is working on programs which helps us understand. Make sure to do the assignments well because they count for a lot! Exam was fairly difficult.

Favorite prof! So energetic and engaging!

I LOVE THIS PROF SO MUCH!! I honestly was not a fan of comp sci but she is such a sweet and energetic prof! She always answered questions really well and really cares about her students, go to office hours!!!

The course load is not very heavy, but you need a lot of practice for sure. She is very funny and cute, also kind! She helps everyone with full patience and energy. I really like her. And to be honest, I don't know if CS is really the right thing for me, but she made me keep taking CS classes this year. Cross finger for myself!

amazing.

Really great teacher. Explains course material well.

she is the best.

She's awesome! I've never heard of anyone saying anything negative about her.

Excellent prof. After she finishes her slides for the lecture, she'll practice what she just taught you with the entire class in Java. She also is super helpful and understanding when you have a question or concern. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn how to code, even if you had never done so before taking one of her classes.

Giulia is very good at explaining computer science topics in a simple and accessible way. She is a good lecturer, and accessible for questions after her lectures. The lectures in this class were recorded and 100% attendance is not necessary, especially if you already have some programming experience.

She is by far one of the best profs in McGill, very organized and accessible outside of class, do the assignments by your own, they play a crucial role in this course

She is definitely one of the most amazing profs I had for this year. So caring and such an amazing teacher who explains everything extremely well. She gave enough materials for you to study and prepare for the exam. SHE IS A WONDERFUL PROF!!!

Clear and concise during lectures, very helpful during office hours. Corrects her mistake when she needs it. Huge contrast with Joseph Vybihal

She's the best professor mcgill has.

We stan a legend. This class made me change my major to comp sci. You have to start the assignments early but they are given enough time. The midterm and final short answer and multiple choice sections had some tough questions but most of it was pretty easy. The lectures were really engaging and I loved having Giulia for this class!

Both a great lecturer and a genuinely nice person who cares about your success. Loved her!

Not only is Giulia the most enjoyable and eloquent professor at McGill, but she is the most caring person that I have ever come across. In my 3 years at McGill, she has been by far the most moving and inspirational professor in my career. People use the term "best professor" so lightly these days, but with Giulia it would be an understatement.

Giulia is probably the best professor in McGill! She is very caring and sweet, patient with questions. And her lectures are super clear, she also adjusts her pace according to how much we perceived. There are more than enough practice materials on and off class for you to better your understanding. It's not a hard course as long as you practice.

One of the most amazing profs here at McGill, in my opinion. Really took her time and care to explain the concepts thoroughly, and made the best efforts to address questions in class.

Giulia is awesome. Crystal clear in her lectures, super accessible outside class, always happy to answer questions, and her assignments really helped to understand the material. Could not recommend more highly!

Awesome professor. She explains content really clearly and includes insightful examples/reviews in her lectures. Further, she is always accessible out of class, especially on Piazza. Enjoyed her class!

Assignments were tough, but very good practice. She is great at explaining the concepts and has really good slides. I watched most lectures online at 1.5x and referred to slides to do assignments. You have to put in a lot of effort if you are new to programming, but if you stay caught up you will be ok.

Giulia's a gem. I have zero background in comp sci but I left the course with a fantastic understanding. To my knowledge she has an educational background, so she's able to use what she learned to make us understand well. Her assignments are clearly defined, she's receptive to feedback, and truly makes an accommodating course. Thank you Giulia ily

Giulia is a magnificent professor! The amount of understanding she has for the current pandemic situation and her adjustment of the grading scheme was so generous! My favorite McGill class so far! Id 100000% recommend her and the class to anyone, regardless of your field of study!!! 20/10!!!!!

Such a great prof! I really respect the amount of work she put into being very accessible, and having so many TA office hours at all times. Assignments were challenging but clear, and lectures were very helpful and as engaging as possible.

You won't regret choosing Giulia as your prof. She is very clear and concise. For beginner programmers, her assignment may be challenging at first, but if you review the slides carefully and do some extra at-home practice, you'll succeed. Not to mention, she answers questions quickly, especially on Piazza. She never sleeps...

I loved COMP202 with Giulia. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, but she's also eager to constantly improve her course for us students. Her lectures were great and included countless opportunities to practice the content being taught right then and there. I learned an INCREDIBLE deal of material from this intro course.

Literally one of the best professors I've ever had. Even if you have no intention in ever learning anything related to programming take COMP 202 with her just to have her as a professor (and programming is a pretty important skill to have, even if it's really basic). I've taken COMP 202 and COMP 250 with her and both classes were amazing!

Should give a class to other CS/ECE profs on how to teach

One of the best teachers at McGill. I am taking another class with her and I'm no glad I am!

VERY good prof, I am currently in her COMP 202 class and definitely would recommend. She is concise with her lectures and knows how to explain things in a way that beginner's can understand. One of the best courses I have taken.

Love Gulia, she makes intro COMP very enjoyable

This semester had no exams, it was all assignments and presentation/feedback based grading. Really easy and enjoyable class. I did not take any comp classes before and this is my first but she made it easier. She is an understanding and sweet prof. 10/10 would recommend.

I took COMP202 in F2020. She explains well and codes well. The only downside is the quizzes... SUPER HARD, but the projects will bring your marks up. Definitely read the textbook provided tho. I think many quiz questions came from there. Start your projects early and you will be fine.

Giulia is an amazing professor. She tries to make the projects and lectures interesting for the students. She often polled the class to get feedback throughout the semester and adjusted the course accordingly. She truly cares for her students and it shows. I would have her again as a professor any time!

Great prof, quizzes are quite hard though

I enjoy this course very much though weekly quizzes are hard. Assignments took some time but it really helped me learn the concepts. Giulia's very caring and she also has a sense of humor. Her lectures and slides were super organized, and that's basically all you need to ace the course.

A truly passionate instructor. She is always happy to help and she responds to questions very promptly. I would say that her content delivery and organization skills are well above average compared to other instructors at McGill. Would definitely take another class of hers.

Great teacher with clear lectures. Always willing to help and encourage us to do our best!

Although I took her class with 0 coding knowledge, her great teaching skills and the fact that she solves example problems after lectures helped me learn the material and get a decent grade. I had an 8 hour time difference but she arranged a fair way for me to not miss the material taught in online Zoom's. The class requires serious commitment !

She is an amazing professor. She is easily accessible outside of class, and gives the opportunity to students to practice before quizzes or projects by posting optional exercises. I really liked her way of teaching because she would sometimes code along in the class to make the concept less abstract.

Lectures are well organized, weekly live sessions are very helpful for practising the material. The grading scheme is very fair and assignment topics are interesting.

The best class I have taken thus far, super enjoyable. Assignments were straightforward, quizzes were a little tough but okay.

Amazing prof, good clear lectures and notes. Assignments were fair, grading criteria was fair. Take any class with her you can.

Took this with zero knowledge of coding and I learned a lot. I took it as an elective with a full course load and it was a lot - you have to work hard on assignments and there are really tricky quizzes every week. It was very tough but I learned a lot and got a 96 so I'd say pretty worth it

She's a solid prof, very good at explaining topics and she is often available. However, in comp202, she has no respect for your time. You can expect 6 quizzes (or you can call them midterms since they take 2h30), 3 assignments (they each take 15-20h +) and a final project (20h+ dumped in your face during final szn).

Guilia did an excellent work engaging students with various topics! Quizzes were hard but the assignment average was in the high 80s and she even gives testing codes to check our work before the submission. But yeah, this course and 202 would have been difficult for someone who wanted EZ-electives, though :0

Even though the quizzes are challenging, others will bring your average back. The assignments and the final project are not that hard, but requires your ability to handle details. Overall, a helpful and amazing lecturer, give good examples not only inside class, but also during live coding.

She encourages students to work together on a tester for each work. The quizzes are tricky (about 25% of your final grade during Winter 2021), but they are necessary to not get an overall A average. Assignments are not very hard if you take the time to read the problem and are doable within 1-2 days. Use the student tester to test edge cases!

I took 202 with Prof. Alberini last semester and the quizzes are hard as usual. However, for the projects (36% of the course), you could use the student tester which ensures an A on the projects. She reused some assignments from past years but don't copy the code. The lectures are generally clear.

Amazing lecturer and the course was so so organized. Challenging but I learned so much, wish I could take more courses with Prof Alberini. Inspired me to take more comp courses

Painful, but I learned a lot. Make sure you understand the material! The quizzes were super tough, and you'll probably lose the most points there. Assignments are REALLY long, especially the final project, but they can pull up your grade. I liked the structure of the lectures tho - she'll present the theory, give examples, then do some live coding.

My favorite course at McGill so far. Absolutely loved her course. Her way of explaining concepts are brilliant. Learned a bunch and had a lot of fun doing the assignments.

You have to understand that COMP classes require critical thinking. And so I don't suggest you taking COMP202/250 as electives. Giulia's classes are extremely time-consuming. Quizzes are hard, assignments take forever. However, for programming lovers, she is great! I loved Giulia's classes, learned a lot. She explains very well and straightforward.

Prof Giulia is amazing. her grading system is pretty fair (tough quizzes compensated by medium/easy assignments). She also got the cleanest and most structured slides ever.

Professor Alberini is accessible outside of class. She is answering questions all the time in the sense that almost every question posted gets answered in 20 minutes. Her assignments are fun and the gradings are just.

She's amazing

She is really good at explaining concepts clearly. Cares a lot about her students. Best prof I have had at McGill!

Took both 202 and 250 with Giulia with absolutely no prior knowledge on cs. Quizzes were challenging at times. But the lowest quiz grades were dropped and there were over 10 quizzes so each was worth very little. Asmts were not particularly hard, but VERY long. Overall, she was great and gave me a pretty solid base for my other cs classes.

Amazing lecturer, slides are amazing and I really enjoyed taking this class. The exams are fair and represent well the material seen in class. The assignments are really fun and have a funny story/setting to them.

Very caring professor indeed! I don't have any strong opinion about the level of difficulty of this course, but she is an awesome professor. She i scaring for her students and always listens to them!

Amazing professor who makes CS very accessible and fun

I have really enjoyed all the classes I've taken with Prof. Alberini. She is super caring and makes classes very engaging.

Assignments were ok if you start early, instructions could be clearer but they address everything on Ed. Overall pretty good. Some people clearly aren't built for cs(maybe not interested) the way they're complaining abt silly things, most cs classes go at the same speed if not faster. Most teachers don't respond nearly as much as she does on Ed

Assignments took time but were manageable if you start early. People need to realize in computer science almost always the midterms are made to bring the averages down. Pace in class was quick but that's inevitable unfortunately. Did not have much of a background in cs before but I must say its still possible to well if you put in the work.

I enjoyed COMP250, it was super interesting! As someone whose previous experience was only 204, I was a bit worried about taking this class. The midterms weren't bad, she posts weekly exercises related to the lectures - do all of them!! I made the mistake of starting all the assignments late, but if you're like me, just go to a lot of office hours

A great prof but the workload is very heavy. Choose easy classes with comp 250 and 206

The course workload is kinda heavy and there was indeed a lot of content to learn... I still couldn't say I had a good grasp of everything even after finishing the course but I learned a lot during the semester with Prof. Alberini

Absolutely amazing Professor. Caring, always reachable, great teaching and slides. 250 is extremely time-consuming and easy to fall behind, but she always posts extra exercises with their solutions, as well as practice exams that came very close with the actual exam. OH nearly everyday with the team of TAs, very fast grading, the best :)

Such an amazing person

Professor Alberini is such a caring person, but her teaching style was very theoretical, whereas the assignments and midterms were very practical. VERY easy to fall behind so make sure you're keeping up with the material and practicing the concepts using additional resources. Go to every tutorial, it's very useful for practical application.

Really cares about her students and is always willing to listen to know where to improve. Lectures were well structured and (mostly) interesting. Exams were hard, and assignments demanding although rewarding.

She cares about teaching and student's understanding. Engaging class and she focuses on explaining the ideas, theoretical lectures. Challenging materials, tests, but fair. And she makes the assignments fun.

Take any course she teaches. Lectures were absolutely amazing. Charismatic, caring, accessible, list whatever you want. She never fails to catch my attention in class. 251 is an introduction to theoretical CS and has 0 coding, so take it with her if you hate coding like me - or to better prepare for higher theory courses. Final was fair.

Tough course but fun professor

Giulia is so amazing. The midterms for this class are pretty difficult, so really practice writing out code. Keep up with the reccomended exercises. You are given enough time to complete the assignments with no rush if you start early. Go to the TA office hours. Ask questions on Ed. If you do not have Java experience, practic syntax at the start.

Giulia is a good teacher with really interesting lectures even though they are pretty heavy! The midterms were very difficult and no curve was possible... as for the assignments they were really interesting!! Overall, this is a hard class!

great lecturer, but assigments and tests are basically impossible if you're not a tech wiz

She slays but her assignments and midterms are deadlyyyyyy like way too hard

Giulia is well-organized and a good lecturer, as well as easy to reach on the discussion boards and through office hours. The assignments are challenging but definitely the most interesting aspect of the course. Exams were hard, but fair overall.

Good professor with clear explanations of topics, engaging assignments and decent exams. She is very accessible and responds very quickly to discussion board posts.

Amazing professor! She clearly cares a lot about her students and was incredibly active on the discussion board all semester. Averages for midterms are in the 60s, but more than made up for by assignment grades (90s averages). Really funny and helpful/encouraging during office hours. By the way, definitely go see her during office hours!

The midterms are insanely difficult compared to the practice midterms, as well as when compared to the exams given in ecse250. caring prof though

Lectures are good, but I found the assignments to be extremely difficult compared to what we were taught in class. The midterms were killer too. The final project felt like it took a year off my life.

Honestly such a great experience with her. The midterms will kick your butt but the projects will definitely even your mark out. As long as you attend lectures and are willing to reach out for help, you will do very well in this course. I did find that some projects (specifically the first one) did not have much real world application.

Awesome prof! Midterms were okay, look at the past midterms since they are very similar. Projects can be super challenging but there is lots of help available. Interesting course with a very forgiving grading scheme.

One of my favourite professors. Tough, but great. Don't expect to pass if you don't work. She's a patient and caring professor, and great at simply explaining complex topics. Loved her! I really admire her.

goated prof

Challenging but rewarding course. Midterms are tough, but assignments and projects help even out the grade. Definitely go to office hours - the prof is super helpful. Unstuck ai was a lifesaver for exam prep.

Recorded Lectures. She is very caring and explains the material very well. Although, I found her midterms quite difficult but it is mitigated by the generous grading scheme. Very cool professor

The strict deadline for all assignments is at the end of the semester, so you don't need to stress over them too hard. However, it is very helpful to follow the suggested deadlines to keep up to speed on class lectures and content. If you spend a little bit of effort to keep up to date, it is a relatively easy class to understand, as stuff builds

The course was hard, and the average for the midterms was a proficiency level (or a C) after curve. The good thing is that she changed the grading scheme after we complained about our poor test results.

Such a kind and caring prof. So many support systems in the class - tutorials, office hours, TAs, etc despite it being such a huge lecture. Wish I took advantage of her office hours more, as I went to a few at the end of the semester and they were extremely helpful. Midterms are notoriously tough, but lots of practice material to prepare.

If you have her for 250, then you'll know how to study for her midterms in 251. I preferred 251 because there were written assignments, but kinda messes you up later since the final project is java (or an interview but the marking on those is subjective and not in your control). Good prof and lots of support, with a pretty forgiving grading scheme

Midterms are really hard, but she explains really well the material. It is up to you if you want to work hard. Extremely rewarding

Professor Alberini was one of the kindest professors I have had at McGill. She is willing to spend time to work with students on minute details and takes feedbacks seriously. The course was properly challenging and really fun. Would recommend to everyone.

A very good lecturer. She unfortunately introduced an unfair grading scheme that was not amended until very late in the semester to make it marginally more fair. She was very accommodating when possible, but almost nobody liked the structure of the grading. The midterms are heavily weighted and are hard. The ability to retake one was appreciated.

great prof. fun grading scheme (offers mock coding interview for final), which was great practice for internship interviews. assignments are very clear, and generally her slides contain all necessary content. just get assignments done early, cuz they can take longer than expected sometimes.

midterms are HARD but grading scheme is very forgivable. She gives the best and clear explanation during lectures. She is also extremely nice and lovable. Take her course if you want to LEARN but be aware that it is HARD. She uses a new grading scheme to enhance learning and I would 100% agree with her.

She's nice.

She puts a lot of effort into supporting her students. She offers frequent office hours and multiple opportunities to improve. The grading scheme is confusing, but the course website helps make things more manageable. It's also clear that she genuinely cares about her students. COMP 250 is a tough course, but she makes a difference.

New grading scheme saved my life. I don't think people understand that if they did bad on this grading sheme they would do A LOT worse on a traditional one. Lots of material to cover but it's more of a puzzle. MT1 was easy, MT2 was hard due to the formatting but after feedback, MT3 was straightforward and so much better.

Amazing and passionate professor. In my opinion, the token-based grading scheme is very manageable and gives you many chances to get an A in the course.

Most passionate prof I have ever had and most accessible prof I have ever had with questions being answered literally in minutes on Ed. Yes tests are hard and the assignments are long but she and the TAs help a lot with assignments. The grading scheme is unfortunately a double edged sword but I'm sure it will get better with time.

She gets a lot of hate mostly due to the unconventional grading scheme used in the course. It's a love it or hate it situation as it can make your life easier or harder. Her midterms are really intimidating but manageable. Her assignments are fun to do. Her lectures are fun to attend. Overall, she's a fun prof.

Student have skill issues and then blames on the new grading scheme. Giulia is an amazing lecturer and she knows how to teach. Student that have a hard time in this class with her will definitely have a HARDER time with higher level COMP courses with any other professo. It is so easy to score an A in this class. All you need is AP on both midterms.

If you spend time doing all the practice problems and practice exams, you can definitely score an easy A. With her new grading scheme, it is much easier to get an A.

Easy to score in an A in her class. I'm seeing a lot of bad reviews talking about how they really struggle on the midterm and then complains why they don't have an A. Midterms are really manageable + you get an optional third midterm to replace your lowest midterm. If you struggle on the midterms, I don't think you deserved an A, period.

I know at least two acquaintances who left bad ratings of one in quality and five in difficulty after going to zero lectures while also doing horribly in COMP 202. I genuinely think that if you apply yourself in this class, you shouldn't have any problems :)

Really fun teacher, I love her more as a person than a teacher (since I can't absorb code into my head). Reasonable amount of assignments, and tbh the grading scheme is not that complicated as people says. Provide a lot of support (more than you would think you need) outside of class.

Very friendly (& funny) but lowkey got screwed over by the grading scheme in the last week... it was mostly my bad, but I don't think I could take her again from the sheer trauma I acrued in that class. Not really cuz of her though! She's super sweet & definitely great at what she does. Make sure you understand the grading scheme early on though...

Easy to understand her teachings. If you do all assignments (without chatgpt) and do all practice problems, you'll get the easiest A in your life.,

Easy A. Just listen in class and be up to date with the work

All you need is getting "approching mastery" on both midterms (B equivalent) to get an A in this course. Freest elo and A i've got in my life. (too ez imo)

Took 202 &250 with Giulia, truly caring person with a bunch of office hours from her and her TAs. Her classes set a good foundation for whatever tech career path you take later on. Her assignments and quizzes might be trickier(not obscure) and involve more thinking, choose her if you want to truly learn instead of just to pass.

An excellent professor, clearly cares for students and helpful. Super knowledgeable. Ignore the recent 1-star reviews they have nothing to do with her teaching.

Prof is chill the italian accent keeps u engaged and her lectures are good. The midterms are fair but not manageable because they are too long. Pass or fail questions means u have to devote more time on each to make sure you will get the credits. Not a fan of the grading scheme but a 3rd optional midterm is nice.
