Lectures are very clear and helpful. Kinda like a professor/mom.

Excellent prof. Kind, clear, smart, helpful. A+

Excellent prof. Explanations were crystal clear. How could you not like a prof that feeds you cookies? :)

Course was challenging but not unreasonable. Clear, well presented lectures. Helpful and knowledgable. Probably the best prof I had at U of M computer science.

Dr. Cameron is an extremely intelligent woman, who has high standards and insists on them. I learnt alot from her course, though it was quite alot of work.

I had Helen in two undergrad courses. She is strict but really helpful. She will help you if you approach her. Found her quite easy to understand but the subject matter could be sometimes a bit boring.

Dull lectures, thank goodness for online powerpoint notes. But she did go into a good bit of detail explaining certain slides to make things clearer.

her notes are very clear, easy to understand examples and everything. assignments and exam are another thing...very hard, its best to start doing them right away (exams are crazy, need to study for real!). as a professor, she can be a bit moody sometimes, but its understandable. harsh marker...

She tries as much as possible to clearify her topics. She marks hard and her assignments and exams are tough. You really have to study hard to get good grades in her course. But, thats the whole point of going to a Uni. "facing the academic challenges".

Excellent lecturer.

Poor professor, okay subject. Tries too hard, sucks all the interest from the course. Doesn't relate well with students, maybe that's why she made the final extremely hard and had that bitter look on her face towards the end of the course.

great notes

Very good teacher, especially in direct comparison to others in same faculty. Explanations were interesting and useful. Amazing notes, both written and posted in slide form. Hard marker, but what is the point of learning work if you can't accept criticism? Highly recommended.

she is extremely picky, I really mean it, she will criticize every punctuation and word you write, I just can't stand her anymore!

Research methodologies is not a horrible course as long as you have an idea what your thesis proposal will be. Dr. Cameron's methods are effective, if not annoying. Her 'active writing' style makes papers seem juvenile. But, she's making a point that some people need to get.

Pretty good prof to have as a lecturer, but she can be a little intimidating one-on-one. She posted all the notes online, which was very helpful. Taught the class at a very slow pace, so it was hard to fall behind. Would recommend

Helpful and friendly. Very good prof.

Don't let the ratings in this site discourage you from taking a course with her. She gives clear explanations of the course topic. It's just that the course content can be difficult and highly abstract sometimes so you need to study the materials yourself over and over until you fully understand it. Don't rely on her notes alone.

When it comes to things that require detail to point out she is a bit picky. But her assignments are medium length and not difficult. Final exams are clear and do not stray away from course content. Her powerpoints at least for my classes were made well and contained the essential details. There are teachers rated higher than her that shouldnt be.

I find some of the earlier comments amazing. I just finished COMP2080 with her, and there were at least two people I would have flipped out on, but she remained calm the entire semester. If this is indeed the person from earlier, she has changed. I would take another class with her for sure. She has room to be picky in semantics, but fair.

Some people hate her some people love her. Very clear and enthusiastic. Do the assignments and you'll be fine

I had to take this class twice- both times with her. The first time around it was terrible, she did a horrible job of teaching the class and all the negative reviews reflect that. The second time over the summer session was great- a complete change of style from the previous time I took it- didn't rush though notes or anything. She improved lots

I mostly enjoyed Dr. Cameron's class. Her explanations were clear and the powerpoints she used were available for further study online. One thing I didn't like was that she went through examples in excruciating detail. Also I found the exams to be marked very harshly and the class average for the midterm was just over 50%.

Her power points are very good resource material. He explanations are slow and clear. The labs are very easy for this class. The midterm was marked quite harshly. The final was quite a bit of regurgitating code from the notes. She is a fine prof.

Dr. Cameron is a real gem! Her teaching style ties in very well with the course content, and I can tell she really does care about her students, and wants them to succeed. Do not skip her lectures, as she explains topic in very thorough detail, which help you learn the material and help get ready for exams. Programming question on midterm was hard!

Idk if it's just me but her teaching style really made the material click for me. She adds note to premed PowerPoint slides in class, which are then available online. The only reason to attend the class, though, is to watch her enthusiasm since the notes are so readily available and she tends to over explain things.

She is incredibly thorough, to the point where she is incredibly boring unless you're a little slow. She goes over examples completely, uses and posts amazing notes, and speaks clear loud English. Grading can be a little harsh. Don't let the chocolate bar fool you - you'll have to rush to finish the exams in time. Also SHOW YOUR WORK.

SHE IS THE BEST. IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON AND YOU WANT TO KNOW YOUR STUFF, TAKE COMP 2140 WITH HELEN CAMERON

Honestly the best CS professor I have had yet. She is EXTREMELY caring, and explains things very clearly. Bonus marks are also handed out with almost every lab or assignment, and the exams are extremely fair. This course is supposed to be one of the hardest for CS majors, but with her teaching, it was honestly one of the easiest. Amazing prof!!!

Helen presents complex material in a very forthcoming way, it makes learning easier. Her testing is tough and I'm adamant to say the course content from her lecture slides go into detail about tougher concepts than the other lecturer. I'd encourage students to take the class with her, you will not only learn the essentials and become proficient.

Excellent professor, probably the best you could have for comp1010, would definitely pick her for 1020 as well. Very helpful in her office hours, listens to you carefully and helps you out. encourages questions. and she wants to help you too

Dr. Cameron is a caring professor and has answer to everything. Wants perfection from you and herself, which is good considering it is a computer science course, you gotta be on point! make sure you ASK WHATEVER YOU NEED but of course be smart about your questions, otherwise, you'd make a fool out of yourself in front of her. I recommend only her.

I had Data Structures and Alogirthms with Dr. Cameron this past Fall. Let me say that out of the CS profs I've had she's the best. Not only that, understanding this course is ESSENTIAL if you want to get a good job. She makes you work for it, but if you put in the work you will come out of it a better computer scientict. Highly reccomend.

Very thorough in lectures, although this can make the lectures a little dry at times. All notes were posted online.

Perfect professor, explanation are clear.

I absolutely loved her as a professor although i know some people who wouldn't agree. She answers questions asked although you have to speak loud if you're in the back. Went to office hours for help in some assignments and she was really helpful. she actually took time to explain the concept of what i was trying to do. Got an A in the course!

She is a good prof
