Professor was usually late to class, would blame other things for lateness then would complain about coming to class in the first place. She made it very clear she did not want to be in class at all and she would routinely pause class to attend meetings. This led to a lot of wasted class time. This professor also does not handle criticism well.

This class is an easy A. Due dates are laid out the beginning of the course. Only issue is I took 8 week course. There was a lot of work, but if you plan ahead you can get the word one. She does not accept late work, but some assignments are due usually on Sundays at midnight. The usual is 1-2 weeks to do assignments and 1 week to complete exams.

She is super nice, her class was super easy. She does assign a lot of busy work & sometimes won't explain steps all the way through. For a month we did meet for classes so we had to teach ourselves a bit, but the course material is easy. Open note quizzes & tests, 1 major presentation & 1 major assignment.

Never coded before but Professor was patient and encouraging. Lots of outside practice/studying and you will succeed, hard exams that are a large part of the grade. Gives time in class to ask and work on program labs. One quiz/program lab per week, 3 exams, a couple program assignments. Wants to help students succeed.

She made it perfectly clear almost every class that she doesn't like her job, didn't want to be there, and doesn't want to teach. I had to teach myself how to code. If you don't have any past programming experience, I definitely wouldn't recommend this class. She can be very rude (a complaint she herself mentioned that she receives constantly).

For a first time coder this class was pretty difficult. The lecture is her just reading off of slides but the exams are open book and open note. Not many assignments so grade is reliant on doing good on exams. If your new to coding you will need extra help, she does give help but the exams are kind of long. pretty easy to bring concerns too.

She's an alright professor but she's very rude and she herself has admitted in class that people complain about that, she brought her kids to class once for some reason, the entire class has 1000 points and maybe 800 of them are the 3 exams so one mistake and your grade will tank, no point in even doing the labs because they won't effect your grade

overall she was a great professor she's very funny and engaging. When it comes to work her notes aren't very helpful. The only way i managed to learn and get the grade I did was because of chatGPT. It helped me learn how to do the code and made notes for me so i can understand what's going on She's great as a person but teaching wise not so great.
