One of the best CIS teachers. Treats students very nice and knows how to teach. You'll have a good experience in her class.

Awesome teacher, sometimes hard work, but you learn SO much. She is THE best teacher I ever had.

Not an easy instructor, but always there to explain again and again, will work with students one on one. You will learn a lot from her. Great person.

Cool instructor who knows her stuff. Kinda hard with her work, but thats how you will learn. Show her you are trying hard and you will get through nicely. Highly recommended.

this is the best teacher i ever had. she knows how to explain the subject, very helpful, very i realy recommend her if you realy want to learn somthing.

great teacher, the work is hard but you actually learn from it...and shes helpful too.

Kim is cool but she can be tough. I recommend her.

Fantastic. Makes pointers, arrays, linked lists, and structures easy, even for those new to the world of programming. Very pleasant in class, a reasonable amount of homework, the tests, while hard, are fair, and she's gorgeous. The only downside is a bit slow in returning grades.

I really like her!! She makes things easy to understand and is always willing to help. I asked billion of questions concerning the final web project and she never once acted like she didn't want to be bothered. She very friendly. I'd recommened her.......if you are willing to put some effort into the class.

Very good teacher, can be hard, but is very understanding and willing to work with anyone willing to put in the effort. Gives a good amount of work but is extremely helpful and explanations/lectures are very detailed and helpful. Would highly recommend, has been one of my favorite CIS teachers and will be taking her for 'C Programming'

Great personality. Be prepared to do alot of work. If you are good at programming then you'll do fine if not you will fail. Lots of independent learning.

Great teacher, very knowledgeable, and will help you when you need it. Highly recommended though the class can be hard. Attendance is not mandatory but if you miss too much you will fail from lack of understanding.

most amazing nicest teacher....she reaches very well and always walks around to help her students...and you will get an A if u take notes and study

Great instruction although somewhat tricky.. forces logical thinking critical for programming!

None better.

Ms. Moscardelli is not only easy but easy to get along with IF you do your assignments and ATTEND the class. He's lenient as far as taking care of business and considerate if you had issues or personal matters,but other than that,you have to submit assignments and projects ontime. In essence, if you do your homework ONTIME and attend you?re golden.

Kim is awesome. She really loves programming, and her enthusiasm makes her classes a lot of fun. Super smart. She's a good balance of tough and encouraging.

Great teacher!!! Lots of work but are very helpful. She loves to help and she is easy to understand. I would recommend her :)

She's is one of the best @ HFCC

this teacher is awesome. knows what she is talking about. very helpful and thorough and makes the class fun.

she very good and knows her stuff but she hard

Fantastic teacher!!! First computer class and makes the concepts incredibly clear. The independent program assignments and homework really push you to apply yourself outside of class. I highly recommend this class to anyway willing to learn c programming.

Although having zero idea about programming or anything really to do with it, Mrs. Moscardelli made it fun and interesting. If you actually read the textbook, the class was made easy. Challenges you in a fun way.

I was a student in her CIS-170 class but never got a good grade in it. I would advise people who wear hearing aids to where them in this class. No offense but even I can barely here what she is saying most of the time. If you are the shy student who never ask questions and get lost in note taking very easy DO NOT Take her.

If you are new to programming,don't miss a class.Seems like every day new information was introduced when you hardly covered the last subject.There are a decent amount of assignments and too many tests that will bring your grade down if you aren't on top of everything. The only grades uploaded ever was the tests, never even the final exam though :(

Best CIS teacher at HFC. For those complaining about her being tough, you're supposed to take CIS 125 before you jump into a coding class. S you cant expect to be coddled along while everyone else is eons ahead of you. That aside. She breaks down everything, and shows not only what you're doing, but why. No book, but if u listen u shouldn' need it.

Great teacher. I use to hate programming but now after taking this class I love it. I would take more class with this teacher if I can.

The only thing here is make sure you make plenty of time during every week to work on the assignment and take the quiz's. Other then that just follow the instructions and e-mail her if you run into any issues.

AMAZING TEACHER! The best teacher at HFC. Really nice and really helpful. Only negative is that she doesn't reply to her emails but she will help you in class if you need it. Would recommend 1010!

Professor Moscardelli is an HFCC legend. Enough said.

The best teacher.

Hands down best CIS teacher, possibly on the planet. Makes a conscious effort to educate students not only on what they are doing but also the why and how.. Will give you extra challenges if you're showing promise in the class and are up to it. Extremely helpful, but doesn't hold your hand. I've never learned more from a CIS teacher in my life.

A lot of work with teams

The BEST professor I ever had! She spiked my passion for coding. If you are serious about coding and really want to learn she is the teacher to take. She will push you to be your best. She is lax on due dates. There is no fluff she teaches what you need to know. She really cares just look at the line outside of her office daily. Highly recommended!

She goes the extra mile for you! If you are serious about becoming a programmer she is the professor to take. Take her seriously when she gives you advice she knows what she is talking about, she will give you tips to make it in the real world as a programmer. I got a software engineering job 2 weeks after graduation and all her advice was spot on

Challenging class but don't worry if you try you will have no problem passing. She wants you to succeed outside of the class room so she challenges you with a team project that gives you experience similar to a real job. Take her for any and all classes that you can you won't regret it. Highly passionate about teaching and truly cares aboutstudents

She is literally the best teacher I've had so far. She might not like it if you skip her class, but I've never learned more in any other class. I love this teacher and would totally recommend her for an easy A.

One of the best teachers ever, I made this account here just so I can rate her lol, you HAVE to show up to class if it's a CIS class, it's not just the teacher, it's just really hard to skip class and pass a computer language class, her exams aren't hard and aren't easy, if you study well , you'll get an A

Professor Moscardelli does give many assignments and it's easy for them to pile up on your to-do list but, if you keep up on it you should be fine. Just make sure to come to class and pay attention otherwise you'll find yourself having a hard time completing your assignments and doing well on tests.

AMAZING TEACHER! Very helpful and is always willing to explain things. Don't expect a computer science course to be easy people!

Professor Moscardelli cares about her students and will help you out if you ask for it. There are a lot of assignments so, DO NOT fall behind or miss many classes. You'll begin to feel like you're drowning trying to finish everything. This is a programming class, you write a lot of PROGRAMS.

the way that she explain the materials is phenomenal she really makes the class fun DEFINITELY NOT BORING, she does give programs to do but you don't have to do them on time because what matter the most to her is that you understand the material. very fun very helpful, just BE PRESENT and you will find it the most helpful and enjoyable class..

Professor Moscardelli is the most amazing professor Ive had. She is a smart woman who really cares about her students and is willing to help not just in class but outside of class as well. Since she is a programmer expect a few Star Wars jokes, some random conversations about some movies, and an occasional pizza party. One last thing do the work!

If you don't want to be a programmer don't take a programming class. Mrs. Moscardelli teaches you the language efficiently. Yes, lots of homework. But, there are many things that need to be touched upon to understand basic programming. Functions, loops, ifs, arrays, pointers. Be ready to code.

She is a hard teacher, but if you wanna be a programmer, you do need a teacher like her, she's very good at teaching you the basics and everything you need to know about coding, I see people rating 1.0's for her being a "hard" teacher, well yeah, you want an easy teacher for the easy way out? you won't succeed in life. 10/10 teacher!

Great teacher tests are hard. She tries to prepare for a career in a IT

This is the 5th class I am taking with Mrs Moscadarlli, she is not that hard if you are really trying to get a career in IT.

I took 125 with her and then 170 in the fall. Lectures are really clear and she's just really easy to follow. A lot of assignments but the ones that are supposed to be hard are actually really fun and challenging. Assignments are gimmes because her lectures are so good. She really is one of the better Professors at HFC. Cant wait for C++!

She does class lectures at the beginning of the semester, which goes in depth and I use the notes every day. She does individual talks with the students(during precious lecture time!) and she doesn't give other students any time including me. I got lost with the rest of the chapters of the book because of her lecture withdrawal.

Prof. Moscardelli is, to say the least, one of the best instructors I have ever had. The Tests can be a little challenging but not too much so if you are willing to learn and keep up with the material. Take this professor if you're really ready to learn and strengthen your skills in the CIS field. She's awsome!

The CIS294 course is a great opportunity to get some real-world, hands-on experience of what it's like to work on a large project with a team. Great experience! 10/10!

Everyone in academia should strive to be like her. Prof. Kim is a great repository of knowledge. Golden sense of humor from time to time. Although CIS230 is fairly challenged course, Kim will guide you for everything you need to get strong foundation in program languages (coding). Hands down, the best professor I've ever had. Highly recommended!

Great teacher

Try to take as many classes with her as possible. Having had her as a teacher since CIS 125 (took C, C++, & now I am in Java) her lectures have always remained clear. I knew very little about coding prior to 125, and not to say you don't need to put in any hard work to become good, but having a great professor really makes it that much easier.

She's wonderful. Best CS teacher I've ever had(got my associates at HFCC and am now at UMD). I miss HFCC's CS department and Moscardelli was the primary reason. I had her for like 6 classes. Down to earth, willing to help and you'll learn a lot. Take her if you can!

I have had Professor Moscardelli as an instructor for multiple classes, and let me just say, she is the BEST!!! She takes time to go over new topics, and gives great examples in front of the students so they can comprehend the material. All of her tests cover whatever weve already learned, so nothing unfamiliar. She is VERY lenient with due dates.

Very friendly teacher.

Great Prof! I would disagree with a lot of the negative reviews here, she does give 1-3 coding assignments a week and her in-class demos/notes cover all you need for those. I never spent more than 3 hours on an assignment, most under an hour. Extremely accessible outside of class, and will meet and assist any student struggling. Don't buy textbook.

Amazing Teacher and a Caring Professor, 10/10 Would Recommend. Pay Attention During the Lecture and You Will Pass With Ease.

This is a very easy laid back online class. Prof Moscardelli is available outside of class and creates a class slack group chat. She offers extra credit each week by completing a check list. Her work load is appropriate and does not take long to complete. I highly recommend taking this class.

Pay attention during the lectures and take some notes. She's usually more than happy to help with your homework as well. As long as you're consistent in your work you'll do well.

I took het for both C and C++, and she is absolutely amazing. the way she explains material is great! She is always ready to to meet with you either online or on campus to help you with your homework programs. For The C (170) the course was) 100% and the C++ (230) was hybrid format. She is also very flexible with due dates, as if they don't exist

Professor Kim is hands down the best educator I have had in college. Yes, I got a C in her class, definitely not a reflection of her ability as a professor, my C was because I fell off near the end. She will make time for anyone willing to ask for help at virtually anytime. If not for her, I would teach myself programming and not bother with HFCC.

Easily best professor anywhere

Haven't finished the course yet, but Professor Kim so far has been one of the S tier professors at HFC. She genuinely cares about her students and loves what she does. To make it short, fair grader, fun person, great teacher and works with you when it comes to deadlines and extensions. I haven't seen a flaw in her way teaching yet.

I didn't finish my course yet, but she is one of the best professors. She cares for her students and gives them couple chances to get their work and assignments done... She's the best.

Professor Kim was great, the class was easy, the only issue is that she is almost impossible to contact. She grades a little late but she is very kind and caring, and her class was easy. I would take it again, and I highly recommend it.

(Winter 2023) Pr. Moscardelli is a GREAT teacher. Her lectures are so clear and so engaging. She gives us Replits to do in class with her. 2 exams: 1 midterm, 1final. Make sure u understand EVERYTHING before an exam & practice your hw. She is lenient with hw due dates, but don't procrastinate. Makes it harder to catch up for an exam. Pizza party :D

She is very helpful teacher and would help you at anything you want in terms of homework and exams. Her exams are difficult and would require good preparation for them. But if you try and put effort you will be good.

I thought she was a great teacher, but I felt her quality of teaching significantly dropped after the first half. After the first half, lots of the homework had very poor instructions. Exams are difficult but are mostly easier than the study guides. I honestly think this class would be better if each class was only an hour long instead.

Gives great lectures that are easy to understand, She does tend to not grade assignments until the end of the semester but I wouldn't worry about that since she is a lenient grader just make sure you turn it in, worry more about your midterm and final. Study the topic between classes if you don't meet that much per week because it's alot of info.

Honestly one of if not the best professor at HFC.

She is probably the best programming professor at hfc.

I liked her style of teaching but her instructions on HW's and exams are not that clear. Never responds to her emails but she does have office hours. Midterm and final are a large portion of the grade so make sure to study and actually do the HW's. They are open note tho. Grades everything at the end of the semester.

Professor Kim is a dedicated instructor who genuinely cares about student success. While the coursework can be challenging, her clear lectures and willingness to help make this class worthwhile. Utilize unstuckstudy alongside traditional study methods for optimal preparation.

Had her for 230 and 171. Her exams are extremely difficult so you gotta do all the hws. They are open note tho. For Java, we had a final project and she doesn't really guide you through it. Never responds to emails and grades everything at the end of the sem. She is really nice tho and always has office hours.

She cares about her students success, very attentive and ready to help with any problems or inquiries that you may have! As long as you are communicating when you need help or when something comes up, you will do great in this class!
