Really nice and helpful.

Nice and very helpful.

Has some trouble understanding her students. A lot of the time she will ask a question and a student gives the right answer but in the wrong words, and she will say "No.. it's ____" (the same thing, but in different words) Pretty reasonable for

She is very kind and helpful.

A really nice teacher~ Good attitude. Answer everything you asked~ Don't teach : "Class" in C++.....so less content

Good attempt at teaching a language like Java. Average tests and lab assignments. Reasonable and understanding prof.

Nice teacher, helpful, lectures not to fun though.

very good teacher, easy marker, very helpful.

Her monotone will make you sleepy.. but she is still a good instructor.. at least she knows her stuff and her exam is not hard... at least for me

she is great teacher, she can teach a person who has no experience in programming to know this stuff, her midterm was not easy though but u will still be able to do it.

Good teacher, willing to help, only one in Langara have relative term tests and class notes.

Boring!Her monotone make you sleepy! And she always talk about her "industry" experience! Study her note for her weekly quizes, prepare the Lab early, you will be ok! Think deeper on her test.

She is a great helpful instructor. Her marker is very close-minded and unfair[her marker wants to be tough but he is rather unfair].

Good teacher + tough midterm + lazy marker who returns your assinments late

Great helpfull teacher.(Good lecture) Her marker is an idiot and drives all the class crazy. I may some day bit him up ! Hengameh better replace her marker.

She is my first programming instructor. I learn a lot form her class. She is very helpful, and has many ideas about programming. I like the way she taught.

She is very helpful. Comparing to some other classes & other teachers, I think she helps all very much. She tries to let(and force) students with no experience to participate...Bad marker but she is fair.Nothing is easy as indolents may wish.

She is a very good teacher. She knows the material and explains things clearly.

She is the best of all. Fair to all boy/girl/amature...She is very helpful. Just read her notes...

Avoid aswering her questions in class because she will ban you whatever you say. she is a good teaher but she like to deduct students mark. Don;t even talk to class or ask other ppl questions because she will take out 5% for your total grade for not participate in class.

she is a good teacher. even don't need to read textbook, clear lecture. not hard to ppl have nothing program backgroud, like me. u can get B if you study and do homework by yourself.

She is a good teacher. Although she sometimes talks about her history of her working days at nortel networks, i think she is over exxagerating her experience. Her teaching is clear, and if u need help go and knock on her door. She will be happy to help!

She is an excellent instructor. If you attend all the lectures and listen carefully, her exams would be easy because she gives the questions from class examples. She is very helpful if you don't understand the material. The good thing is that you don't even have to buy a text book for her class, simply study her notes.

She is a very nice lady. Very helpful and clear . the only probrm about this course is that while writing the midterms , you should be super fast otherwise you wont be able to finish it!

a nice teacher ...have you heard the bell?

very nice teacher,helpful and kind.the midterm was a bit hard, hope the next time be easier

She is a great teacher, but I find that she has no idea how to judge what the word "time limit" on exams. I aced every single assignment, them being very easy, but the midterms, were 8 pages long! 2 programs to write, and 1 pseudocode. You don't have anytime to think when your doing the midterm. Her class average on the 1st midterm was 50%.Goodluck

the exams are very long,there is no time to think about the questions, you should just write whatever gets to your mind.The number of questions must be less.However, she is a good teacher.

She is one of the best instructor in Langara.She is more than happy to help students who have trouble with this course.Her notes and labs and the questions at the end of each chapter are very helpful.

A great teacher and a wonderful person. Always available to help students with their questions. Very organized course material and very reasonable assignments and exams. I wish all teachers were as understanding and helpful as her. Work hard and ask her for help when you need it and you'll come out with flying colors.Definitely recommend her.

Excellent professor. Easily one of the best I've had. She may not be the easiest tester or marker, but if you do the things she marks you for, you'll have an easier time in the long wrong. She makes everything extremely clear.

Hengemeh is one of the best instructors I have had at Langara. She is fair, helpful, encouraging and gives you all the information you need for the assignments. Exams are a bit rushed for time, but she is a generous marker. Go to class, ask questions and you should have no troubles here. She is awesome!!!

Be sure to attend all her classes! she does not take attendance but it is important to go to her class! even that you are really slow when solving problems, you will still get an okay mark cuz her tests will always contain a big proportion of tracing and basic knowledges. she plans her teaching material so you wont feel rushed at the end.good one!

She is quite good.

All the cpsc major students who ever take her courses will think she is the best instructor in Langara. Every hard thing will be easy after her explaination. Course materials are constructed really well. I never saw Hamavand rushly teach something. Exams are basic, and nothing is uncovered.

She is good teacher. First, she specificly explain every question, and her explaination always can makes a difficult question become easier. Also, she has a good way to manage her class time. The most important thing is that she is a easier marker.

Hengameh is very helpful and approachable, she is good at explaining the concepts clearly. Just beware that if this is your first time programming, a lot of work will be required. Reading the textbook is no substitution for actually coding and practicing on your own. Midterm was fair and reflected what we had learned in class. Highly Recommend :)

She is well organized, explains clearly, helpful in class, after class and during office hours. Fair marker, nothing unexpected on exams. The course itself is overwhelming – you learn bash scripting, awk, perl, regexp, c, sockets, etc. But she does a good job teaching all this.

I took CPSC 1150 with Hengameh too. She is very friendly and approachable. Although the course is quite content heavy, she does a good job of teaching it and getting through the material. Class average for the midterm was above 70 percent, which is quite good for a CS course. Overall, I would recommend her to anyone. Very nice lady! :)

Good prof. Responsible and humble. She doesn't like ppl talking in her class. She is nice but she writes so small if you are short-sighted better find a closer spot..

Hengemeh Hamavand is one of the best instructor in Langara. She can make very hard problem to easy and let you totally participate to the class environment. I took CPSC1030 CPSC2221 with her 2015summer semester. I enjoyed her course and it was the best time. If she teaches any course you need in that semester highly recommend.

This is my third time taking CPSC courses with Hengameh. She is awesome and explain the definition which YOU WOLD NOT NEVER FORGET. She makes hard courses easy for student. Her examples, the test quiz makes your life easier. Please before blame her do your part. Highly recommend for CPSC student. If you do your part at least B is waiting for you.

Hengemeh is an excellent instructor and very knowledgeable in the subject matter. She is extremely patient and willing to spend time explaining concepts. She is a tough marker as others have suggested, but programming is a difficult subject and I feel her style of teaching will prepare her students for the real world.

She is a good choice if you are doing good in computer science. She listens to the students and helps them. Assignments can be hard, but what else do you expect in computer science. Try your best, take assignments seriously, you are not going to fail.

She is good for any course in CPSC

Best of all

Very nice and one of the best professor i have had at langara clear about her slides and makes sure students understand her

Mrs. Hamavand is a nice and caring person. Not very strict in marking. The midterm was really easy, but the final seemed a bit hard. Make sure that you work on every lab really carefully and you will be fine.

Gives decent notes projects are hard, but instructor is very nice and always able to help during office hours just do your assignments go to lectures and you will ace her exams no problem.

she is very good teacher . I really like her teaching and give advice to students that she teaches very well in cpsc1030 thanks

Lectures are more teaching fundamental concepts than detail that helps with the assignments/exams. That's just the nature of the course though, this was my first time programming and I got an A by studying using the textbook. Hamavand is very accessible through email. If you work hard and do well on the assignments, you should get a good mark.

She is a phenomenal teacher. Amazing lectures and so helping. Work hard and you will learn a lot from her because she is the Best Professor. I feel like a wise person after completing her course. Go for it !!

Amazing prof, easy to access outside the lecture time. Course itself is not super hard, needs to practice. Highly recommend her, this is my first course where assignments & labs are marked on time. Very responsible!

I had Hengameh for both 1150 and 1181, and she truly made my first cpsc courses very enjoyable. Shes very friendly & loves interacting with her students. She now gives participation marks for attending lectures and encourages her students to ask questions, which is always beneficial to other students. Highly recommend taking courses with her.

Fantastic prof, strongly recommend. There is a lot of homework and quizzes every week. The midterms were average difficulty, but the final was quite hard. If you put in the work, you'll do very well.

She is very helpful throughout the semester

Dr. Hamavand is really amazing. Course is super hard for beginners like me, but thanks God she did amazing job on teaching me. She has some accent which is hard to understand, but it is amazing how she makes concept's super easy and straightforward. TA marks assignment late and I found it is a little bit irresponsible. Hoping to take her 1181 next.

Watch her lectures and do the lab work paying CLOSE attention to the instructions/details and you will do well on her assignments and also learn 80% of the material. The extra 20% is slides and textbook. The feedback given on assignments is useful to correct your mistakes. Not a hard class but she will make you work for it.

She is one of best professors at Langara! She is very caring, and welcomes students to visit her office hour. I enjoyed learning OOP with her lecture. I recommend her courses!

Hengameh is caring and kind. But I do wish the content were more up to date because real web dev in the industry today is quite different from the things taught in the course. If you need to take the course to satisfy your program requirement, go for it; but if you are doing this to find a job, there's better options imo.

Good teaching

Good lectures, class is really easy. Instructions are really clear on how to get full marks. Accessible outside of class (through emails)

Professor Hengameh Hamavand is an outstanding computer science professor who has a deep understanding of her subject matter and an excellent ability to teach and convey complex concepts to her students. I highly recommend Professor Hamavand to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated computer science professor.

Very grade instructor. Recommend!

Very good

Hengameh is a very caring prof. Her lectures are code heavy which is great for visualization. There are weekly quizzes, assignments and labs so the course needs a lot of time put in. But if you do the lecture questions, practice questions she provides as well as questions from the textbook, you should be able to do well in her class.

I like Hengameh because she is very approachable and caring. The course was not that easy but with regular communication with her, and lots of practice you will succeed for sure. Overall, the problems are clear, I could mostly understand what's going on the course with her. 100% recommend.

Awesome professor for learning computer science

Great prof. Spends time in lectures to really cover important topics that will be on quizzes and exams, making students well prepaired. Not a diffucult course, but still need to allocate time as there are quite of few tasks to stay on top of on a weekly basis.

Best teacher i've ever had. Starting with no prior coding experience, and doing 1150 for my first time coding. She helped me a lot whenever i had questions, and ever went further on what i had to say. Compared to most computer science teachers you get in Langara. I believe she is one of the best profs you can get. But make sure you study!

She is one of my favourite teachers of all time. She is really caring and she has been in the industry and teaching for many years. So if you are taking fundamental classes with her she is probably a good guide for you through your computer science journey. I would definitely recommend her for Langara computer science students.

Pros: She cares about her students and is willing to answer any questions you may have about the lecture material. The assignments and labs are practical and reflective of her industry experience. Exams can be tricky but don't worry, practice and you'll excel! Cons: Sometimes she can give inaccurate feedback in labs or via email and cost you marks

She is truly the best teacher in Langara, she is patient and answers all questions until the topic is clear, and explains way much better than other professors. The lectures, labs, and assignments prepare you well for exams. The subjects are hard but she makes them understandable. You will work but learn tons.

just take this professor if you see!!

Lectures aren't mandatory but help especially if you have no comp sci experience. She goes over corrections and homework problems the week after they are assigned. Test grading may vary due to the nature of the subject but always allows for regrading if you think you were graded unfairly. Labs are fair. Really nice lady overall

I think she is great at what she does! I loved her class a lot and made me actually enjoy coding again. I recommend 100%

Professor H. is fantastic - really breaks down complex topics and is super helpful in office hours. Use unstuck ai and the free textbook to ace this course.

If you have any previous experience with Java, this class should be an easy pass for you. Weekly assignments and labs follow the lectures. Lectures are content heavy but she's super open to questions during the lecture and afterward. Weekly quizzes had nothing surprising or unknown. Truly one of the best professors at Langara.

clear expectations, gave an outline for midterms and finals. goes over midterms the next class and returns assignments quickly. very nice person.

Hengameh has a bit of an accent but that's all I can really say about her. She is a caring prof and her lectures were clear and easy to take notes in. She gives practice material before the midterms and the final, and the questions on them are pretty similar to the real thing. Even if you're not confident in your cs background, you'll be ok

Hengameh is a great prof. Sometimes she has a hard time explaining things and phrases it in a way that makes it more confusing than it needs to be. The exams are honestly pretty straightforward but she nitpicks since she expects you to know everything 100%. Easy midterms.
