She seems like a nice lady, but her class is THE MOST ANNOYING! It's an intro computer class, required for my degree. She doesn't want to lecture, so we're in groups, and doing essay after essay, to "practice" for her big essay tests. This isn't WAC, she just wants to "help" us, practice essay skills!

She shouldn't be teaching this class. There is very little hands-on computer work, so not a lot is learned about computers.

Overall, this class was easier, and I liked that I could work at my own pace but a lot of directions were hard to understand.

She is a very understanding individual, who loves her job. The only issue I really had was her teaching style. Requires tons of instructions, some questions on quizzes are unclear or have unnecessary amounts of information added making the questions confusing at times, also has A LOT of work needed to be done in order to pass...

Lots of homework

Work is very difficult to understand, she will direct you to a tutor instead of helping with actual assignment. I think she's clueless of what she's teaching too. She will answer her phone and zoom as much as she could but still was no help because she make you feel stupid for not understanding her instructions that's all over the place.

Lots of homework

Get ready for 5-6 sets of directions for every assignment. You will get lost in the instructions and never really understand what youre doing til the very end

For this class, I went in with an open mind despite some of the reviews I had seen but... I have truly in all of my college days never done so bad in a class. For some reason the way that she taught made me more confused than when I started the assignment, and I've always been good with computers.

Literally made it almost impossible to turn in assignments. I had a death through the classes and minimal break for that. And at the end of the class i check my grade and it was well below what it was earlier that day and i had all my assignments in.

So many papers

This class required a lot of assignments and instructions, and gave very confusing directions. She seemed to mark down for many things and required extra projects that didn't necessarily relate to learning computers. Coursework heavy. Even though extra credit, trying to get everything in the way she requires takes a lot of work.

More of a english class and less than a computer class, All it was for computers was small quizzes then massive english papers that she wanted perfect, and if it wasn't perfect then you got a bad grade or she wouldn't even grade it. was very disappointed because a lot of it was nothing to do with computers lol

She is horribly unprofessional. Expect a ton of emails about completely random topics. Her instructions are vague and sometimes you have to dig through three sets of links to get to what you need to know. Lots of busywork that is unrelated to Excel. I learned more about memos than I did Excel in this class. The quizzes are intentionaly misleading.

This professor was terrible. She gives so many assignments that seem to have nothing to do with actually learning about computers. This professor will also flood you with nonsense emails at any point she gets. Pointless class and horrible instructions that make no sense at all. 0/10

I feel bad for being ageist, but she is too old to be in computer science. A lot of 'fluff' instructions designed for the elderly or children is added to make up for the lack of content.

Mrs. Massoud is a great teacher who really cares. There are a lot of emails (which is nicer than many of my other teachers who do not communicate at all) and instructions are pretty simple. To complain about that fails to recognize this class has been designed for all learning levels. My only complaint is too many Memos in an Excel class.

It is abundantly clear that Mrs. Massoud is passionate about what she does. I have never had a more thorough and caring professor than her. She provides instructions for assignments in both written & video formats, & is available for any questions. She provides ample opportunity to earn extra credit and sometimes alternate assignments if needed.

Professor Massoud runs a structured class, but with some confusing instructions. Thankfully, tools like unstuck study made studying and assignment prep a breeze. Overall, a challenging but rewarding experience.

Professors instructions are extremely confusing. When asked about them she didn't answer clearly, only responded with “get a tutor”. Which I had to do to pass this class. 0/10 would recommend. Hardest class I've ever taken due to poor instructions.
