Can't believe she has an MS in Computer Science. She prides herself on giving hard tests, but when asked about programming problems she dosen't have a clue. Gives women in CS a bad name; women have enough problems with the **** double standard already.

She is a very good professor. All you have to do is read the book and pay attention in class, and you'll pass.

Ms Perez is a good teacher i guess. She is probably the most unorganized one i've ever had. We've only had 6 hw assignments and 3 tests, two weeks later grades have not yet posted. She often asked her students to remind her through e-mail to bring our grades or corrected hw to class. THAT SHOULD NOT BE THE STUDENTS' JOB!!

This class is very CHALLENGING. Her way of teaching this material isn't aimed for a beginner. No study guide or in-class prep for tests. Answers for homework can only be found in the library with some pages missing-which doesn't help. Let's her students direct the class, so when most of them are sleeping, lecture can go in circles. Seriously. :(

THERE IS NO WAY TO GET A HOLD OF HER. If you have a midterm in a week you wont hear from her until the semesters over! She doesnt respond to anybody unless its the first few weeks of class. Other than that youre on your own. Its not difficult at all its all book based but not having someone to ask a question to like ... a TEACHER? Ridiculous

I took online CS011. Easy A class. A majority of the work is "redo it until you get 100%". However, it seems impossible to get a hold of her. She creates a discussion forum on canvas, yet she hardly responds to questions. 2 months later and work hasn't been graded. When it's not graded it shows up as a 0 in the grade book and lowers your grade.

Avoid this class if possible - the professor's teaching style leaves a lot to be desired. The lectures are confusing, and getting help from the instructor is a struggle. Consider using unstuck ai and other resources to supplement your learning.

Before taking this class, understand that the there is a lot of homework! You need to submit on time. You need to make time and always be on top the assignments or else you will fall behind and play catch up. Everything is online the professor is non existent and will take awhile to respond. Midterms and exams are proctored.

Professor Perez is great, though there are no lectures, textbook is needed to purchase as well as where you'll need to submit your homework, with lots of hands-on homework, the mid-term and final are open book but timed, and participation in discussion posts are important, the course is good if you don't mind learning on your own.
