Good teacher, I recommend her if you must take DPR 100. Stay away from Gail Furman though! ! !

Terrible teacher, but nice person. When asked a question, she doesn't know her material and therefore cannot answer. Can't fix student's programming problems.
Easy teacher to deal with, if you can deal with her lack of coherency. Still, she seems easy enough to talk her into giving you a good grade. Gotta love how tenure makes teachers lazy. :P
Had her for Java. She was both lazy and didn't know Java. I helped half the class. You'll pass if you know Java
She is a GREAT teacher. She offers many different methods to help you understand. Remember it is a programming class! The work can be a little baffling. Take the class with an open mind.
She was no help at all. Seemed kinda nice, but she just didn't seem to know anything. She once gave me a bad grade on a paper because of a problem that she could not even fix.(I know I asked for her help) Her answer is always, "Did you read the tex
An idiot to say the least. They hired some bag woman off the street to teach us the bare bone basics of computers... and she doesnt even know the material. VERY unprepared. I recommend taking anyone else before you have to take her.
Very nice lady.. but she cannot teach at all! She's better off teaching kindergarten... where students can excel!!
I could have done this class by myself. All I needed was the book to do the assignments. She's a nice lady, but not a great teacher. The only thing I gained from this class was my boyfriend:)
Mrs. Feroe is clearly not as knowledgeable as other compsci teachers at DCCC, but she can sufficiently trouble shoot problems and has a charming personality that encourages effort.

I absolutely hate this lady. She is a horrible teacher. Oh, and if you get her, ask her personally for the sign in sheet because she'll withdraw you from the class if she feels like it.
She is not a bad teacher, I have had worse for dpr classes. She grades you with a combination of classwork, take home tests, and programs. She is great at debugging programs. Her take home tests are a little hard. If you already understand programming, take her. You could do alot worse.

She's nice and all, but this lady should not be teaching. Last semester, only two people passed her class with an A. If you already know programming, you'll find out that 20% of what she says is wrong. The questions on her take-home tests are rediculous.

had this class last 2 summers ago and it was an interesting class. just need the book and u'll be fine, she an easy teacher. had an "A" so u know i can get it too. highly recommended.
Great teacher. The programs were tough that we had to do cause i had no clue how to program cause i didnt read any of the book. I still somehow got and "A" because the tests were so easy.
I had this teacher and let me tell u, SHE SUX. I don't understand how this teacher is still teaching If u don't understand something she is no help at all and most of the time she says i don't know whats wrong If u don't know program don't teach the good thing is that if u want to drop the class on the last day of classes she will do it
She's an absolute sweetheart. Went out of her way to help her students and has a great sense of humor. Take her. She's a blast!
Disrespectful,talks to her students as if they are small children boring and barely has any computer knowledge herself.
MUST READ text, tests THEN easy "A". "YOU" should DO ALL CHAPTER "pratice" tests in class, must do to understand the actual test that counts! VERY helpful! JUST -ask.
she has no idea what she is talking about. i asked her a question about something in powerpoint and she said "i don't know, i don't know, i don't know." i think that says it all.
I have a BA in journalism and I decided to go back to school this fall to learn about Web development. I had to take a programming course taught by Prof. Feroe. She wouldn't explain the homework or if we had a problem with something. She gave a surprise exam without telling anyone. No one liked her and I told people not to take her.
Doesn't seem like she knows the material. Doesn't answer questions. Doesn't treat students like they know anything but claims to love teaching. BUT most ppl will prob get A or B in her class if they do the work.
Easy class, awful teacher. She is miserable. She used to stress not eating or drinking in class, but she'd walk in and crack open a Pepsi EVERY SINGLE DAY. If you want an easy A, just do the work, it really isn't hard, just time consuming.
If you take this class you will learn nothing but get a good grade. No idea how this person is still on the payroll.
Terrible teacher, doesnt teach smells and utmost worst teacher. i dnk how she is still a teacher all the other teachers hate her to. lol one teacher i had hinted on her by saying the monstosity across the hall. lol DONT TAKE HERRRRRR !!!!!
She isn't a good teacher. She is boring, tedious, and ignorant in the subject of teaching a class. I have been forced to teach myself this course from the textbook, which is really tough. If you are a computer science major and you get this teacher, change immediately.
I think it may just be possible that I knew more about this subject BEFORE I took the class. Don't waste your time asking her for help. It's like talking to a wall. I can't believe she still has a job.
WARNING! She is the worst ever!! I paid $90 more to have a teacher. I should just have taken it at home for as much as she helps. If you have a question, you have to go to her and ask in the back of the room, while she plays games on her computer because she won't get up to go to you!The reason I rated this hard is because you teach yourself.
Tough and Fair
Always ready to help
best ever
I was able to develop programming solutions with Marj's help and direction RECOMMEND HER HIGHLY
Absolutely terrible. She sits in the back of class and does absolutely nothing. Her tests were a joke. 70% of the class failed!
let's see, she's terribly rated, then all the sudden, 9 posts on 7/30 saying she's good? no way! $1000 she is rating herself on here...
She saw how terrible her ratings were and thats why there were 5 reviews saying she was awesome on 7/30 ACTUALLY...shes the worst EVER! Seriously why does she even get a paycheck. You would have a better chance getting help from a random stranger on the street than you would from her. She just sits and is miserable and complains the whole time
do not take her if programming is important to your major. only take her if you already know about the subject and can teach yourself.
Worst teacher ever. She doesn't even know the answer to easy questions you ask her. She doesn't even care about you at all. She misses class all the time. Have no idea how she is still a professor. Don't take from her.
The class is a joke. She's a joke and she doesn't know what she's teaching and relies soley on the book. She needs to retire.
She's horrible. She doesn't even care about the class at all. The only reason she's still teaching is because they gave her tenure. She grades you however she feels like it. She took points off of my final paper but couldn't tell me why. If you still take her after reading these reviews, you're crazy. She's horrible.
Listen to me. Professor Feroe is a gem. No, I'm not some random 40-year-old. I'm 20, and she is very helpful. Her class is easy if you do the work. The worksheets are tedious, but simple. She is very, very kind and understanding. I would HIGHLY recommend her. Do NOT listen to the other comments. I don't know what the heck happened in their class.
Learning is self taught. All instruction is from what YOU read in the book. No classroom discussions or demonstrations. Basically, you are given an assignment in the book, you read it,take the test, end of story...
This Professor is redic. You read straight from the book and all learning is on you. Ask her a question and dont expect a response but her to stand there and watch you as you try and figure it out on your own. She assigned seats in a class with two trouble makers and the rest were fine students. I find the tests irrelevant!
Definetly only there because of tenure. Needs to stop teaching because truthfully she doesn't teach just sits up there and assigns bookwork. Fucking dumb that she gets paid for doing nothing. Additionally learned nothing from the class. Just do the bookwork and try studying for the test out of the book and you will be okay.
Teacher is horrible. Doesnt teach anything. Doesnt answer any questions. Ive been asking her the same question via email and in class for three weeks and she has yet to give me a response. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER IF YOU DONT HAVE TO!! I wish someone would have warned me prior ti signing up for her class.
She is a terrible teacher. She is disrespectful to her students and treats us like we are stupid. I can not wait to get out of her class. She does not know what she talks about. She acts like her class is important when in reality it is review to any person who has ever had a computer. There is way to much work to be done in her class!!! done take!
NEVER TAKE HER CLASS!!! END OF STATEMENT!
She is worst teacher. All is does is talk about random stuff and by the class gives us assignment with no clear direction. If you have just withdraw
Teaches nothing!!!! Doesn't explain anything.
excellent prof. the first real good one of college. she introduced me to dpr literally and figuratively. this is back when i first started going to class, im talkin 2009. i entered into the major because of her teaching me the basics of it, then it turned into bad csc and it got worse from there. dont take dpr computer science unless your sure of.
I took DPR 100 in the spring semester. The course and content itself were fairly easy. Book is expensive, but you need it. Almost all the assignments and tests are based on the keywords and text. Not very helpful, will sometimes say she doesn't understand what you're asking, but if you read the text, do the assignments, and show up you'll pass.
The walking example of "Those who cannot do, teach". Marj is a terrible teacher. She does not seem to actually understand any of what she teaches, so she is very defensive when asked a question about content. Marj is also incredibly rude and condescending to her students. If at all possible avoid this class, she is a terrible.
She is the absolute WORST professor i have ever had in my life. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!! i mean it. if you need this class find another professor because she is absolutely horrible. Very mean, avoids questioning, and has no understanding of students. DROP THIS CLASS IF YOU HAVE IT REGISTERED!!!!!!!!!!
This woman is by far the WORST teacher at DCCC. She is rude, nasty, condescending, and extremely dull. She has no idea of the subject she is supposed to be teaching, gets offended when questioned, and often time avoids questions all together. She has no respect for her students and is a shining example why some teachers do NOT deserve tenure.
Somehow manages to turn an already dull class into an even more boring one. I ended up dropping the class three weeks in because of her. Took it online instead and got an easy A (honestly the subject shouldn't be a required one, I doubt you'll learn less than you could with google and 30 minutes of your time).
Worst teacher ever. Has not a single clue what she is teaching and it's all straight from the book. Only good thing about the class was you could sign in and leave.
One of the worst teachers ever Hardly ever went to class did the assignments with the DPR tutor and they still took an hour don't ever take her ever
Don't take DPR if you got this woman The woman is the worst piece of condescending trash I've met. Literally accused an entire class of cheating off eAch other with no viable evidence. She does not teach well and assigns quizzes without any forewarning on the weekend that they are due. Don't take this class. You'll develope suicidal tendencies.
I got my schedule for next semester and Marjorie Feroe was going to be my professor. I showed my current English professor and she told me to drop this class because it will bring my GPA down big time. She took me to her office and got me out of it. The other adviser in the office said I was making the right choice because of how bad the class is.
Worst Professor I have ever had. She is a condescending and interrogating. Don't be surprised if she tries to call you out for something that does not make any sense in front of the entire class. She does not make sense and barely teaches anything. She's rude and gets defensive when you ask certain questions. So bad.
One of the worst "teachers" I have ever had. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS
Marg is a great lady. I get up everyday thinking" How can I put a smile on that perfect face" and when I do it's the most wonderful feeling. Her class was the hardest class I have ever taken but it was worth it because Marg is the best. Because I took marg I feel I have changed for the better. I love you Marg.
The experience so far has been rough. The online textbook (which is very tedious to read) is the only resource you have to pass the tests. The communication outside of class is very limited. Feedback is provided only in class if you address professor. The assignments are tedious to complete but are not extremely challenging.
Most pointless class you'll take in college. She rarely if ever teaches and when she does she locks your computer making you unable to follow along. Tests are difficult and barely worth any points. Only positive side is you can get away with skipping this class as all the work can be done at home.
Horrible teacher. She treated us like elementary students, would yell and complain when we talked and tried helping each other out. But when you would go ask her for help she wouldn't help. She stopped letting us take the quizzes outside of class and forced us to come to class to get the code. Class should be just an online course.
A lot of students do not like this professor, however I felt she was both kind and helpful. If you treat her with respect she will help you in every way she can and make the semester so much easier. Definitely buy the ebook, it's pricey but is super necessary for the course. Overall- be nice to her and it will be a breeze!!
A lot of people do not like this professor however I think she is fine as long as you don't get on her bad side. She can be a bit unorganized but she does care about her students and wants to see you succeed. She can be a great professor if you put in the work in and out of class.
Throughout my decades of education, I have never come across an educator like Feroe. She is extremely unapproachable when her students ask for help. The first day of class she struggled to work the volume on her computer for the class and when a student offered to help her she rudely dismissed them and wasted 20+mins of class time.
In my 8 years of middle school, 4 years of high school, and two years of DCCC, I can truly, whole-heatedly say that this is the single worst teacher/professor I have ever had. Get ready to teach yourself through an over priced e book. Extremely unapproachable, and doesn't seem like she wants to be there. Please, avoid at all costs.
hands down the WORST professor I've ever had. the material was so simple I didn't even attend class and I still passed. she forgot to put grades in, is extremely unapproachable, and is just overall a terrible prof.
This class was a joke. Please take this class online. It's not worth spending money to come to class only to be babysat by a professor who doesn't teach. Attendance isn't mandatory whatsoever. She let us use notes during the quizzes. Sometimes the homework can be time consuming. She offers loads of extra credit so there's no reason to fail
The class is easy if you do the work, but I'll be honest it's kind of hard to show up for. When you are in class she always starts by talking about how you need storage, and how if you don't buy the textbook it's a problem (she says this still like 8 weeks into the semester). She gets angry easily too and she gets real fresh at times for no reason
She is not the best and lacks any clear understanding of the course. She really should retire or leave the college because she doesn't do much in class with the students. Pretty much just teaches off the slides, so don't ask hard questions outside of what is in the book.
TAKE IT ONLINE. TAKE IT ONLINE. I wish I did from the start, everything you do in this class you could do at home and she doesn't teach you at ALLLLLLL. So much work like 5 assignments a week but she grades so easily. Easiest A ever. If you fail a test or quiz it gives you three tries to re-take it and gives u the answers.
i'm sitting in the class right now if you have any knowledge of how a computer works you can tune out from anything she says; and just do your work in class. also don't take this class, take it online
Doesn't actually teach the class, she lectures for the first 5-10 minutes then gives you meaning less worksheets and busy work. If you talk during the class you are harassed for speaking, even if you are asking a peer a question. If you have to take this class i would recommend that you take the class online.
Easiest A you will ever get. The class can be boring, but she does not grade hard. No participation grade and you can do all the assignments online.
So although I did not like this class very much, I have to say this is the EASIEST A you will ever get. All the work is done online. A lot of assignments due every week, but easy. Nice lady but doesn't seem to know much, and she definitely doesn't help you solve any issues or questions you. This class is a hassle but if you want an easy A take it.
She is definitely the worst professor I've had so far. She didn't teach us anything, she just sat at her desk while we did all of the work on the computers. You're better off just taking this course online because that's basically what you're already doing. She's also very rude and treated our whole class like we were five years old.
Shes very disorganized and sloppy. If you ask her a question she wants to get smart back with you. A lot of her work isnt together and last minute. She doesnt seem to know exactly what shes doing. I had to drop because I couldnt deal with her disorganization skills.
Why is there a teacher for this class? It's so easy and self-explanatory that it's basically an online class. However, my problem with this class was the teacher Marj. She was constantly in a pissy mood and always took control of our computer screens after somebody talked for 0.5 seconds. I would definitely recommend the class but not with Marj.
Professor Feroe is really nice and is a fair grader. She makes DPR 100 an easy-to-follow class and is so kind to her students! The textbook we used was actually an access code for two online programs in addition to several other online learning materials. Do your homework on time following her instructions and its an easy A.
This class is extremely easy but does require time- a lot of the assignments are just busy work. The biggest downfall of the class is the professor. It's clear she's used to being disrespected & expects her students to be rude and incompetent. She is often quite nasty and doesn't actually teach. Class should be online. Get on her good side.
This professor has a nice side but her nice side is very shallow. If you miss 3 classes she will have you withdrawed, she has a smart attitude, she monitors everything you do from her computer and if she does not like what you are doing she will control your computer from her computer. She has also graded my incomplete assignments early before.
This was the most unorganized class I have ever taken. For a class that is specifically about technology and computer usage, Professor Feroe seems to have zero idea how to use the internet. There were modules from prior semesters, everything was out of order, and all email correspondence with Professor Feror WilL LOOK Like THIS!!! It's obnoxois.
This class is so confusing in terms of organization. It's an easy A but the assignments are weird and have little to do with the subject. The class is very elementary, I wouldn't have taken it if it wasn't a requirement. Be prepared for cryptic correspondence, unclear directions, random assignments with little notice and unclear guidelines.
Some of the work doesn't even relate to intro to computer science. Such as creating a resume, cover letter and 3 separate speaker assignments on 10 things that every student should know. Her class is easy, but what do you expect for an intro class. The irreverent assignments that don't relate to the course could be beneficial to a new student.
This class honestly was just an easy A. Its completely busy work that took less then 2 hours each week, while Professor was just in the room. Some assignments had little to no correlation to computer science, but I got the credit for little work. Prof was very disorganized. you basically just read a textbook and did click-and-drag vocab.
