Took the online version of this class. I expected it to be brainless work, but it required a little more effort. I can say that I learned a good amount and now really know everything about excel and access, which I had never really used much before. Recommend if you need to take the class! Still an easy A.

In online Comp App 1&2 you can work ahead of schedule. She adjusted deadlines so I could do 1 then 2, both same semester. Great help ticket systems via email or phone, virtual & reg office hrs, TAs. Thought I knew MS but learned to Super User level. Found course very useful for other classes & work. Save $$ with cheaper electronic ver of text.

Keep your excel, word, powerpoint skills up to date with this ONLINE class. EASY A if you do all the assignments on time. NEVER used the book, step-by-step "hints" and "show me's" on every assignment. WORK AHEAD, so you finish this course well before the end of the semester. Email reminders each week so you never miss an assignment.

Hearing back through email is quite annoying, since you do have to wait a while. But the actual class is very helpful for your future. I thought it was fairly easy, but I like working on computers. Don't leave assignments for last minute! I got an A in both CGS 1570 AND 1571.

She was a little bit disorganized at times, but it's clear that her goal was to make sure everyone actually understands the content. Very flexible with office hours, allowed quiz retakes to master material, very helpful overall. You really have to work though, and she is very busy so gets behind on content sometimes.

Prof is very nice and knows what shes talking about. Assignments are straight to the point, and if you follow the examples in the book you will get 100% on every assignment. But don’t wait until the last minute!

Class delivery was all that I expected; then bonus were given with daily additional office time for those who have not grasp it in the class. Using her work ethics as a model for all teachers to follow would not be a bad idea.

She puts textbook on reserve in library if you can't afford it. Gives tons of 1-1 help, lots of handouts for practice, many quizzes, really cares that you learn the material. Her lectures are clear and humorous. Does not drop any quiz grades like the other profs that teach this class but you really learn the material and know how to do labs.

Dr. Petrie has been one of my favorite professors at FAU. Very clear with course expectations. Gives about 10 quizzes the semester average a 90 or higher exempts the final, 6 labs are also mandatory. No partial credit, small errors will mark the whole problem incorrect. Since she does allow retakes if you show up to class and study you will pass.

She really knows her stuff and passionate about it. You've got what you work for. No extra credit, no make ups, no forgiveness, but you can retake quizzes as many times as you'd like for the price of 10pts per retake. She's funny and keeps the class interesting. If you are a serious student who wants to learn and be one of the best, take Petrie.

She is the best teacher I have ever had. Ever. She allowed retakes on all quizzes to emphasize actually knowing the content. She spent HOURS in her office helping students and wenteachers miles beyond what anyone could ever expect. She doesn't give partial credit. But if you pass her class you will thoroughly understand logic. She is awesome

Dr. Petrie is someone that I highly recommend. She may not give partial credit, but she lets you retake the quizzes, albeit for 10 points off. Her lectures are fun and she is very engaging with her students. Highly recommend her.

She is at school everyday for long hours and explains very well. Quizes are easy and based off her lectures. Reviewed quiz material before quiz date and on quiz day before giving out quiz. Be prepared, if you have never wired circuits before to spend time in the lab. If you are having issues if your breadboard make sure you dont have faulty chips.

Professor Petrie, is an outstanding professional and extremely experienced. As in most things, if a student don't put the time and the effort... nothing will work. I was surprised the dedication that Prof. Petrie has to her students. I am a witness of how she goes beyond the line for all her students.

Great professor , knowledgeable and caring. She gives tools, enough anticipation and takes the time to explain and to repeat. Very patience. The topic is difficult for beginners, so if you are not taking Introduction to engineering together with Introduction to Logic, then you must study harder. But thankfully there are professors like Dr. Petrie.

One of the best professors i have ever run into. Her expertise and passion, are unparalleled. I recommend to be in her class if you want to become a master in this course; which is a core requirement for most of the CS/CE degrees.

Dr. Petrie has very extensive experience and her methods are unique and extremely effective. Great professor.

This course is core and quite challenging if you are new to this field. However professor Petrie's class and methodology helps you to go through it. Her easy methods, clear explanation, availability our of class, etc, etc... no one committed will fail this class...

With this class, you can compensate anything with the quizes, book readings and assignments. It seems though, but the end is just like anything... if you don't dedicate time... obviously will be more challenging. Professor Petrie, is always available, and very dedicated. her 30+ years as a professor is a real asset...

I am so glad I took this course with this professor. She is very experience, and I know that because of her i can say i learned a lot about this topic. Let alone, this is a very important course for any of the future courses in Electric and Computer engineering

I really dont know what to say about Professor Petrie. She is one of the greatest Professor at FAU. She's respectful and helpful . Thank you for teaching us logic design so well Doctor Petrie .

Attend every class for thorough lectures and to be prepared for quizzes. She gives retakes and allows you to be exempt from the final if you have a 90% average on the quizzes and have a grade on all your labs. If you can't pass this class you should reconsider computer science or engineering as your major. It's an easy A with dedication

Best professor at FAU. She is actually interested in making sure students understand the concept. This course is test heavy. But if your test avg is >90 then lets you exempt final exam !! She goes over the material before handing out test and also lets you retake all tests so maintaining tht avg. is easy. Skip her class and you won't pass.

Professor Petrie is one of the best professors I have to meet at FAU. She actually cares for her students her doors are always open for everyone and she is more than happy to help anyone that needs it. She puts her whole heart for her profession. Do the full platform and book ( you'll understand when you take her) for extra credit it will help alot

Dr. Petrie is a fantastic professor. She cares a lot about her students and makes them a priority. Office hours are really helpful! Wish I asked more questions because Petrie is really nice and good at explaining things. Do well on the quizzes and you can exempt from final.

She is one of the best.

I loved this class. Dr. Perrier explains concepts in detail and makes sure you understand it. Her quizzes are pretty much her examples in lecture, so go to class! She is very lenient with lab deadlines and offers extensions at times. Shes super nice so dont be afraid to stop by her office! Highly recommend her.

Professor Petrie demonstrated a patience, excellent preparation and a genuine care for her students. Petrie makes logic design easy and is an excellent choice for any aspiring engineer

Maria Petrie is one of the best professors I've ever had, I'm serious. She makes lectures very interesting and has an awesome sense of humor. She makes the content easy to understand and answers all questions we may have. She gives handouts to work on, encourages us to use the lab, she tells us what chapters we should be on depending on the date...

Dr. Petrie epitomizes the ideal professor that all students would appreciate to have. She is extremely patient with students and she persistently encourage students from the start of class to the end. Yes, when the class transitioned to remote learning due to COVID 19, 2 labs were assigned near the end of class. The pace of the class changed. She s

Class organizing was a little messy, but the professor is probably one of the best I've ever taken. She is always very reasonable, and seems to genuinely care about your ability to do well in the course.

SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER OF INFORMATION I HAVE EVER SEEN. She explains things slowly and clearly, and if you follow along you'll get the information very fast. She's great That being said, She goes veerrrry slowwwwly, which sucks for the organization because then you end up doing three labs at once. Just, try to stay ahead and get things done early

Maria Petrie is legitimately one of the best teachers I have had for a class in any part of the education system, and this is because of her willingness to help her students. She is extremely patient with her students and goes the extra mile to always bring hope that you too can finish the class with detailed knowledge of the course material.

She is very disorganized, but very intelligent. She's very patient with those struggling & is lenient if you communicate & demonstrate enthusiasm. You can retake any quiz 3 times & final exam exemption if you attempt all labs and have 90% quiz avg. Labs are tough, but good for learning. I learned a lot. She can break down difficult concepts well.

Took this course online during the summer when COVID hit bad. Its vital to attend/replay her help sessions as they are extremely helpful in mastering topics for quizzes and labs. Dr. Petrie is extremely fair in grading and diligent in ensuring students grasp an understanding the material. Those 3 attempts for quizzes were also great.

no need to study if you attend class. there are quizzes which you can retake for a max of 10 pts less each time, up to 60 pts (5th attempt). Accessible outside of class, caring and intelligent.

Really sweet professor thats lenient, content is common sense. I am editing my review from 2 to 4.0, 2 months later. I previously said she was very unorganized. While true, nothing in her class has a late penalty to compensate for this discrepancy due to distance learning. Post-COVID Im sure shes a five star professor, so I would definitely take!

This professor genuinely cares about the education she provides. She is a slow speaker at times, but caring and intelligent. The only gripe I have is, while this is considered distance learning, she is very disorganized. Prepare to spend at least an hour every week organizing the mess she uploads on canvas. Dead serious, but I did learn a ton.

Stays up late during office hours to help her students truly understand the material. Very nice and understanding. If you don't watch the lectures you will not pass.

Regrettably got a low grade due to my own laziness and procrastination, however she is a wonderful professor. She does her absolute best to make sure every student who makes an attempt will understand the content completely and pass the class. She stays at her office hours until every last student has their problem resolved.

Unfortunately, this class got off to a rough start and did not improve. Although, I don't blame her as kits came late and students were behind very early on. The labinawindow was a rough experience as well but should be improved upon. She was very understanding of this and was very generous with extensions/late work on labs/quizzes.

There are a lot of things that can be better about this class, but the professor is very caring and accessible outside of class. It's kind of a new course since they restructured an old class with a lab into just a single lecture. The material isn't too easy but she makes recordings on how to do the assignments in detail.

Excellent material

I shall say, this professor is excellent in silly things. I would take her again to increase my abilities in saying silly things. Who knows if Supertramp composed The Logical Song dedicated to her. Jose Garcia, respectfully saying of course.

She was an amazing teacher, very helpful with every stundent. If you had any doubt she would solve them during class or if you were too shy to ask you could also go to her office hours.

The class itself is hard but the teacher has helped to understand. Quizzes and projects with an optional Final, depending on your quizzes. She makes sure that all her students know what is being taught, she is very available outside of class.

One of the best teacher, she is really good. Anyone who says she cant teach never really tried.Every quiz you get you can look at the PowerPoints. The PowerPoints have the answers and the steps onto how to solve the problem. ALSO you don't take the final if you et a C in the class, you automatically pass. I would totally take her again, super easy.

This course has been one of the few tough classes I've had so far, however, her teaching style has helped me a lot. She's very detailed oriented to the point where all her videos covered all my questions. She doesn't do midterms and if you pass all the quizzes and labs, you're exempt from the final which is a huge plus.

Very accessible outside of class and she really does care about her students. Also lots of extra credit which helps on the labs because the average is always a 50-60. No midterm and final is your quiz average if it's above a 70. Downsides: quartus sucks lol, your lab grades may completely depend on the TA themselves + class is kind of disorganized.

She's a nice and caring person overall but she's also pretty disorganized. My biggest complaint is Altera Quartus (program used for class) is awful to deal with. There are plenty of opportunities for extra help, TA office hours for labs almost every day. Overall mediocre class but nothing to fear over. For every quiz you have 3 chances.

Dr. Petrie is overall a really great professor and person. She gives many opportunities to do well, often extending submissions for labs and quizzes with no penalty. She is accessible outside of class and is happy to help you and get to know you if you attend her office hours. Workload is manageable with good work ethic and asking for help. :)

Dr. Petrie is an amazing professor! She truly wants her students to succeed as engineers. As long as you pay attention in class, you should know how to do the quizzes and labs.

Genuinely the nicest and most caring professor I have ever had. You have every opportunity to succeed on the quizzes (3 tries) and the labs with Petrie and the TAs being available to help. She is very inclusive in her lectures and likes participation while giving extra credit for doing so. Her final is also optional depending on performance.

Chill/lenient professor, records lectures, labs are pretty easy as long as you seek office hours if needed, HARRY is the best, very thorough teaching, quizzes are easy as long as you look at the ppts, spends the first half hour of class fixing her laptop, go to her office hours if you need hw help-- she is THERE for you, very sweet lady

It's the best class ever; the material is very well explained with real-life examples. The professor is available outside of class and via WhatsApp. I recommend her class if you want to learn something that you will use for the rest of your engineering career. I hope you enjoy Dr. Petrie's class as much as I did.

The overall subject is quite difficult; however the professor has you covered. Lectures are recorded and posted the next day, she has office hours with TA's daily, and has multiple videos explaining each of her Lab work. The coursework can be hard and will definitely take time to complete, but Dr. Petrie offers tons of help to get you to pass!

Professor is a great person and it's clear she cares about the class. The homework, especially the later ones, can become quite difficult to grasp initially so attending / watching the lectures becomes vital later on. You get 3 tries on the quizzes and the final is optional if you perform well. Also was very accommodating of my work schedule.

She gives lets us turn in labs later than the due date if we go to her. We can get extra time on quizzes if we go to her during office hours. She is very enthusiastic during class and she wants us to do well.

She's a very easy and leneiant proffressor, never graded attendence and the lectures you missed were always posted. The course material might be very difficult but she gives ample time and help to those who are struggling. You also have 3 attempts on quizes and if you do well enough on the quizes and labs you don't even need ot take the final.

Professor Petrie is incredibly helpful and accommodating. The workload can be challenging, but with her support and tools like unstuck study, you'll be set up for success. Attend lectures, use the resources, and you'll learn a ton.

She's a very experienced professor, but due to a problem with students cheating, there have been many changes since then. She wants you to learn, so work hard and have a little patience. Take the time to learn, and PLEASE don't share your work, either in this or any other class. If you don't share your homework, you'll avoid a big problem.

Dr. Petrie actually CARES that her students learn, which is rare at FAU. Yes, the content can be challenging and she is fairly disorganized, but if you ask for help and attend lectures, you will succeed. Cheaters never get ahead.

Mrs. Petrie intervened to reinstate a candidate who had previously been expelled for plagiarism. She further stated that he would work directly with me. I question whether such conduct is appropriate or permissible? Petrie does not have a Florida State Educator License, I was told by the Secretary of Education of the State.
