Decent lecturer, though frequently absent from lectures. Has very little personality and lectures mostly consist of examples and PPT slides. Basically, if you can do the HWs, you're fine. Gives "Reality Checks" which are pop quizzes that don't count for a grade.

HB gets a lot of hate, so I was worried when I came into her class. But she explained everything really well and I learned the material. Don't listen to the haters, if you go to class and give moderate effort you'll do well.

HB is not really your young, passionate programmer; but she is definitely knowledgeable on the material and does her best in class. The homework is definitely easy to do and what you should expect from a Data Structures course. The exams are not too hard and the grading is very clear. I feel like she gets a little too much hate. Would recommend.

Lectures are clear and overall align with what is expected in the homework. Lectures are at a medium pace and probably are not taught "too fast" for anybody(the large majority of people). Powerpoints used in lectures are also posted online afterwards.

Really dedicated to her students in a tough-love kind of way. While lecture material may not be super interesting, she provides TONS of resources and extension problems to suit all kinds of learning styles. To succeed in this class, stay on top of the homeworks and go to recitation!!

HB is not bad at all. You either love or hate her teaching style; I love it. Tests are difficult but fair, lots of example problems in class, & TAs are great. Lectures are interactive & do a great job explaining the data structures. HB is also funny and caring for students, even if some don't realize it. Tests are graded in 24hours,Would take again

Thesis: I FREAKIN LOVE HER I can understand why she isn't as popular as the other CS professors (at the beginning I thought she was very scary) but HB is so caring and FREAKIN hilarious (why do people not laugh at her jokes). Tests will be tests but if you attend lecture and recitation, you'll do well. I wish I had more characters to express my lo

Be aware of edge cases in homework. At the end she will adjust your homework grade so it is as high as possible. Tests were terrible bc time was always a pressure. Study extra hard for tests bc time is not on your side. It's like you either know it or you don't. Study homeworks. TAs are god-sent. Use the resources on canvas. And practice!!

HB is a wonderful professor! She cares about the students but sometimes, it might just be a tad bit too hard to listen in lectures, but she provides all kinds of resources (including video review) to help you. The tests are fair and sometimes a bit rough on the time, but I feel she truly cares about her students. Overall, it is a great class.

A decent professor. Your grade is dependent on tests, but the tests are very fair and have an insane turnaround time. (Usually 1-2 days for grading.) Both lecture and recitation is required if you want an A. The class itself isn't difficult, but takes quite a bit of time both inside and outside of class.

I took the online version--highly recommend b/c the terrible lectures I've heard of are condensed into online videos that take barely any time at all to watch. It also helps with the homework, as the lectures basically give you the homework answers sans a few methods. In my experience, she's very off-putting but isn't fake, so I respect that.

She is a great teacher! She really explains the topics well and even gives you the code for your homeworks! Plus, the tests are extremely straight forward and fair and they will never test you on something you didn't cover in lecture. She is a good lecturer and truly loves the class. You certainly have to study since it's not an easy class.

This is a review for her Junior Design Part 1 class. She was actually not that bad. She tells it how it is and for the work you'll do in Junior design, I respected that. She's not too tough of a grader but other profs might be a bit more lenient. Def not an easy A unlike other JD professors but not the end of the world if you take her.

Dr. HB has an amazing personality, and she is one of the best lecturers I've ever had at Tech. She puts effort in going over material in every lecture, and she always encourages students to work hard for her class. My problem with her is that she expect a little much of her students, but this is why Georgia Tech education is not a walk in a park.

She's not as bad as other reviews say she is. Dr. HB lectures well, although she does tend to take longer than necessary. Dr. HB's class was probably the best transition to online classes I had. The one main gripe I have is that coding assignments only count as 13% of the final grade, which imo is a bit too little.

Not a CS major and not great at CS and absolutely loved 1332 (1332 NOT 1371) with Dr. HB. Thought the lectures were well laid out and definitely helped with homework and visualization. Lots of great resources, tests are a time crunch. Again, not great at CS, but the weekly HW took me days to finish. Loved Dr. HB, would take again; definitely cares!

she really knows her stuff and on top of that she can reallllly teach very well. go to class and struggle through the homeworks and youll get an A/B atleast. Tests are very hard but she gives you everything needed to prepare adequately for them.

Very passionate, kind and intelligent professor. Excellent TA team who genuinely cares about solving your doubts. The comments they give on the homework are super detailed and you sort of understand why you lose certain points. Exams are semi-tough, but doable.

Professor HB was an okay lecturer, but most of the learning I did happened outside of class; homework, extension materials, and recitation really helped. She also posts the video lectures she makes for the online section of 1332, which are A LOT more concise and straightforward than the in-person lectures. Use them for sure.

HB is a great professor who knows her content really well, and really cares about her students too. Not to mention, the TAs are super helpful!

I'm surprised HB has such a low rating. I think she is my favorite professor I've taken at GT so far, but others don't feel the same. I found her lectures to be very helpful, despite her hand writing her code, it gives time to follow what shes saying. She's the most caring professor I've ever had and genuinely cares for her students.

Class material-wise, Dr. HB was decent in organizing the material. I took the online version. You'll do fine in assignments watching the lectures. The class is hard not necessarily because of material, but because of the exams. If exams didn't turn open book because of COVID-19, I would've had to memorize homework code to get As (was getting B-'s).

The modules used for the online vers of this class were organized, concise, and useful. Dr. HB was incredibly sweet every time I had the chance to email/talk to her, and the TA's were the best. I don't know why theres so many negative reviews for her, but I would opt for the online version if I could. One of the best classes I've taken at GT so far

I rarely ever interacted with Dr. HB as I took the online version of 1332, but the lecture videos were very effective in learning the material. Plus 1332 has a great group of TAs and lots of support materials, so overall a pretty easy class. As others have mentioned, take the online version.

I don't know how anyone could complain about the online section? The modules are clear and concise and any confusion could be solved through office hours and recitations. A bit harder to do that in the corona semesters but I would say the class is fair

People are very hard on HB. She cares so much and teaches the course in such a clear way. I think she is a great professor and I think people get intimidated by her but she is a nice person, she just is short with you. Get over it, she's great.

HB was such a kind, caring professor. Her class was not easy (in my opinion). The class was VERY test heavy, which can be a problem if you mess up even one of them. However, her module videos were clear/concise, TAs were always ready to help, and she answered many questions in class. I enjoyed 1332 a lot content-wise, and HB made it even better.

Dr. HB knows what she is doing! Her exams are easy if you study and do the 10 coding HWs. Her exam questions come directly from the lectures, recitations, and HWs. This class is very easy content-wise! And the Final Exam is even easier than the 3 regular Exams, which is a plus because the Final Exam weighs more than the regular Exams and HWs!

Well, it's data structures and you have to work and study a decent amount to get an A. TAs are great. Understand each data structure with fine details since the exams (especially the MC) will test you on your ability to synthesize that knowledge. The coding portion is always the scary part of the test. Just gotta grind and memorize the code.

Dr. HB is by far one of the best professors I've had here at Tech. She truly cares about the success of her students and is always available/very helpful in office hours. She is also very understanding. This is a tough class with a lot of weight on exams, but if you do the homework and ask for help when you don't understand then you will do well!

Class has a lot of resources you need to succeed - you don't really need to take notes during lecture (recitation and doing practice before the exams is adequate). Lectures are mediocre and exams are heavily weighted but not that hard if you study.

Very passionate about what she teaches and an excellent lecturer! The online videos are professionally developed and of extremely high quality. This course covers a lot of content and you will need to study a ton of material for exams, but HB gives you so many resources that you will undoubtedly be successful as long as you put in the work.

HB is very caring about her students and TAs provide valuable feedback and recitations (GO!). Lots of resources available in the class - the onus is on you to succeed. There is a wide breadth of knowledge, but the course doesn't try to put you down (i.e. exams are very fair and not nit-picky ahem 1331, etc.).

Her lectures are pretty dry if she doesn't tell you about her day or what happened in her life but her homework, practice worksheets, and practice modules/quizzes are very close to what you get asked on the actual quizzes so if you just care about getting a good grade and moving on from CS, Dr. HB is pretty good.

This course was designed very well. There were always multiple ways to learn the content whether it be through lectures, professionally produced videos, or well planned recitations by the TAs. I really enjoyed taking this course, and I always felt the the expectations and grading were fair and understanding.

lectures aren't mandatory but they are amazing for understanding the material, which helps a lot since the course is test heavy. The professor provides a ton of material that is super helpful for homework and test review! If you attend lecture and work through all the material provided you will do fantastic! best class i've taken at ga tech

This is one of the most comprehensive, well-constructed courses I've ever taken at Georgia Tech. Class has a ton of TA's with a lot of support outside of class. Homeworks are really good challenges that are super helpful in preparing for the exams. Class grade is dominated by midterms/final, so you do need to perform. High effort you will succeed

Really good professor. The class content is really organized and Professor gives you all the tools to do great. Homeworks are really challenging and you learn a lot from them. The grade is mostly made up of Midterm and Final so you should do great. The best CS class I have taken so far in my life.

This class was a reasonable amount of work. I was so nervous about the CS requirement and I had never taken CS before, but HB did not make it hard to earn an A. I kind of enjoyed her class, and the TAs were great too. She's also very kind and understanding and was flexible with deadlines when I really needed it.

Honestly, not bad. Lecture was pretty boring tbh, but the course offers so much study material that it doesn't really matter. Hudachek is very clear on her expectations for what will be on and how to do assignments/tests, and the TAs for this class are probably the best out of any CS course.

Take CS1332 asynch! The videos are clear, concise, and well done. HW's can be hard and time consuming.

Provides great videos with many example problems/walkthroughs. Lots of study material and very clear on expectations and what to know. Exams are reasonable and direct, with no silly trivia or gotcha type questions. If you study with the material given, you will do well.

Really enjoyed the class! Professor makes sure that people understand and is willing to spend time going through examples and answering questions. The pace is relatively fast, but as long as you review the content and study well, the tests aren't too bad. The videos are amazing! Honestly, one of the best teachers I have ever had.

The vast amount of resources that HB provides for this class is the main reason I would advise you to take her section. There are lecture videos, lecture slides, TA slides, recitation slides, visualization tools, extension resources and so much more. Having all these resources at your disposal for such an essential CS course is a great help.

Dr. HB is a fantastic teacher but she can be tough. She teaches the material very effectively and goes slow enough for everyone to gain a solid understanding. Her tests are difficult but fair and will require you to invest a significant amount of time studying. As a teacher, HB is awesome but just be prepared to work hard.

The recorded lectures were one of the best I have seen for any course. The class is graded mostly on exams and no exams or homework are dropped so be prepared to work hard for this class

The class is definitely difficult, and HB can be a bit strict making it a bit harder than it should be. The exams are decently difficult but there are more than enough resources for you to study and feel prepared. While the class is tough HB's lectures are some of the best in the business, and will help you fully understand and learn the material.

Harder than other professors, but this is the one class as a CS student you want that. She did seem strict at times, have heard stories of kids getting in trouble for code similarity on hws so be careful. Online lecture modules are the clearest and best presented lectures I've ever seen. While strict, she did seem to care about her students

Dr. HB says it on the first day: DO THE HOMEWORKS TO DO WELL! She provides a bunch of resources on canvas to supplement her lectures (or replace them). If you genuinely put in the effort to do the assignments, you'll be fine. Very fair in the sense that she'll only ask coding questions on material that has been graded. No dropped HWs or exams, tho.

Dr. HB really cares about her students and their success. The TAs in this course are amazing and help her make this course manageable. There is a lot of work in this course, but it is very relevant to the job sphere, so it is good to learn the material. There are bunches of resources to help you succeed supplied by her and the TAs!

Really great professor! Kind, knowledgeable, and available. Her lectures get a bit boring and she was absent for quite a few of them, but a great (and really big) TA staff filled in the gaps. This course is pretty heavily dominated by homework, so don't overload yourself on courses and don't procrastinate.

Above average professor, lectures are really really optional (I went, but know so many who didn't and still did well). So much extra material to learn the stuff. TAs are amazing. So basically do the homeworks, study for the exams, and you should be good.

Dr. HB is overall a great choice for CS 1332. The in-person option that she offers is a little tougher than the online CS 1332 section since you have to memorize everything for the in-person exams, but her lectures walk through all the content you need to know. Homeworks are clear and reflect the test content accurately. Overall, great teacher!

Lectures were sometimes hard to learn from since she handwrites notes. But this is made up for by the excellent quality of the online lecture module videos which thoroughly cover all course material in a succinct way. This is a very well organized class with amazing TAs and plenty of resources and a must have for anyone entering the tech field.

The online lectures that were available were high quality and did a great job of explaining the course material thoroughly. If you wish to succeed in this class, take advantage of the material that is offered along with the TAs. Done well, you have most of the tools necessary to succeed in many other aspects of tech.

I took an online async version of this course and I really enjoyed the format. The modules online consisted of well-made videos that taught the content really well. I did not interact much with the professor but I did enjoy the class. Grading can feel a bit harsh at the start but there are lots of resources + TAs are very helpful with explanations.

-Grading breakdown: 50% quizzes (5 worth 10% each), 25% final, 20% HW, 5% participation -Course is leacture-heavy, so attendance is strongly recommended -Quizzes and HW were fairly easy -HW often done in class with help -Prof was personable and caring -Learning curve is steep if you've never taken CS before, but it gets a lot easier

Her modules are awesome, she is an amazing lecturer and offers an insane amount of resources. Her TA's are probably the most useful TA's I have ever had. BUT SHE -AS WELL AS HER TA's- CAN NOT WRITE. The test questions for the multiple-choice sections and her socrative polls are worded so poorly that only the writer knows what is being asked.

Very nice professor teaching me CS 1332 in Summer 2022. Full of easy-to-understand lecture records help me a lot in both time-saving and well-understanding.

HB cares. She puts effort into her craft, and it shows. 1332 is a challenging class, but you'll never feel like you've been duped because you're given so many resources to succeed. I wish more professors focused on students' success/imparting knowledge like HB vs crafting tricky problems to show you... how clever they are, I guess?

Great professor. Notes during class were easy to follow, and she thoroughly goes through every example making sure we understand. TAs were amazing as well. The amount of resources they provide is crazy. She gives us the entire online class modules for us to use. They give you all the things you need to succeed, make good use of them to do well.

This professor is awesome. She is kind and caring but also strict when it comes to grading sometimes. But overall very fair. I wish we had more professors like HB!

Overall course very well structured. I appreciate how many different resources there are in addition to lecture, and I wish other courses would be more like hers

HB was an amazing professor to have, and while the content can be tough at times, there are plenty of resources available to students, and she always picks amazing TAs! Tests can be a little long for some people, especially with a 50 min time limit, but overall she's great!

HB is a good professor - she cares about her students and her TA team is really awesome. Her lectures do become quite dry, but she has created an exceptional module system for 1332- you can learn pretty much everything through her module videos, which are concise and teach the concepts really well.

I learned a lot from HB, she has great lecture videos that cover all the content so you don't need to go to lecture in-person if you don't want to. The homework was coding data structures and the tests were a good challenge. HB also cares about her students and she's funny sometimes

HB's in-person lectures were okay, and I did not like how she gave us an exam after break due to GT "changing" their scheduling. However, the resources and recorded lectures for this class were extraordinary! The TA's are also great, and recitation was a great review of the material.

She was a good professor. She takes time, and writes down materials, gives examples, and goes over the materials. The TAs are the best! Everyone is very knowledgeable, understanding, and helpful. The tests are difficult if not practiced. ALWAYS attend all questions, there are partial credit. If you do all the non-coding question, you will get a B.

Amazing lectures! The in depth explanation of data structures and algorithms and diagramming helps learners of different types to all learn the concepts well. The homework and tests were fair and TA's and Professor are accessible, caring, and very helpful in general! Great motivations, resources, lectures, and help! Probably the best class I've had

Took the asynchronous section so wasn't in direct contact with HB. Overall her videos and resources posted online are extraordinary and really prepare you for both the exams and homework. TAs are very helpful for the course and are easy to ask questions. Exams are applications of learned data structures. Maybe the most organized class at Tech.

Unlike most professors, she handwrites her notes - which is SUPER helpful for diagramming, an integral part of each exam. By attending class and taking notes with her, you're actively learning the content. Practice exams are provided before each exam, and they do not stray format-wise from those practice exams. There are a ton of online resources

HB is a good professor. Her lectures are a bit boring but useful. The homework and assignments are easy in my opinion. There are plenty of resources online to help you succeed.

Hands down the best class I've taken so far. The course is super well run, thanks to HB herself and the TA team. Her pacing may be slightly slow, but I think it's alright since she spends a lot of time making sure that students understand the concepts. Her module videos are very good as well. 10/10 class.

Go to class for an A

I took the in-person section, and the lectures were very helpful. HB takes time to go over the tough concepts, but leaves the easier memorization to do on your own. The TAs are good, and office hours are a great resource for the homework which is challenging but prepares you for the tests. HB usually gives hints about what to study before tests.

CS 1332 is organized really well by efforts of Prof HB. They provide all the necessary materials on Canvas so it's even ok if you don't attend lectures. Online videos provide more information than taught in lectures. Homework and exams are manageable thanks to all the materials and helpful TAs.

I really liked her haha

Great lectures and very in depth, go to office hours if needed the TAs are amazing resources. Course is really difficult but arguably the most important class of all CS major. Start Leetcoding right after taking this class.

This professor was outstanding - easily one of the best professors at Tech! Her class made me wish I was in CS - I'm CompE. Moreover, she was very caring - my registration time once fell during one of the exams, so she let me take the exam with an earlier section so that I could register at the earliest. Highly recommend!

I took the hybrid version of this class and can't say that I recommend it. It makes it a lot harder to learn the material if you're trying to do it all from the module videos. If you take the hybrid option, please go to the in-person lectures anyways, it helps out a lot. Otherwise, the class is very straightforward and you know what is expected.

I think HP is ok I just had her during the first attempt of hybrid in an 8am lecture and when she was facing some health problems. The lectures do NOT teach you material rather it focused more on showing examples from material you should've learned beforehand. Overall it was okay, but the hybrid section will probably get more organized with time.

Took the hybrid version and don't recommend it. Nearly all learning is from pre-recorded videos. The videos are well produced and have nice visuals though. Exams + final make 85% of your grade and homeworks can take a while. Felt like there's a lot of emphasis on memorizing rather than fully understanding and being able to synthesize from content.

Took the async version over summer. The videos were well produced and being able to watch them over and over again was convenient. Coding assignments felt fair, grading was kind of harsh with all of the edge case testing but that's more my fault. Fair professor.

Overall the class was just hard. You need to get a good grasp on the concepts in order to get a good grade. They post helpful videos so rewatch them if you want a good grade. Also do the hw since the coding on the tests are based on the hws

Very good lecture videos. Exams were full of gotchas but overall class does a goos job at improving your coding skills and knowledge for later classes.

I took 1332 over the summer, meaning that the time constraints changed the way the course was structured. Professor Hudacheck-Buswell was a great professor that constantly worked towards accounting for the needs of the students. Lectures were only once a week, so I had to make the most of her pre-recorded videos and TA team in order to do well.

Took this class during the summer. At the beginning, she seemed like she would be a scary teacher, but by the end of the semester it was clear that she was cared a lot about her students and the material she taught. Exams were based exactly on the homeworks and there were plenty of extra credit opportunities.

Good lecturer, clear explanations. Do not hesitate to ask questions anytime you have a doubt - she will answer your question thoroughly. I had the hybrid section, and her prerecorded videos are a solid resource. Well-organized course as well.

Professor Hudachek-Buswell's 1332 class is challenging but rewarding. Her video lectures are clear, and tools like Unstuck study can help supplement your learning. Exams test your grasp of concepts, so stay on top of the material.

I learned a lot in this class, and it was low stress. The grading is very fair, and she even lets you exempt the final if you do well on the three exams. Exam content is easier than HWs and is similar to the practice exams on canvas. Lecture attendance wasn't required. Definitely recommend.

I took this course 3 times before I passed. There is an annoying test grade policy that makes it to where you can pass, but are still forced to retake the class. All things aside, HB is a great professor. She is caring for her students and is very involved. 1332 is simply a challenging course for those who are not ahead in their CS education.

Dr. HB's CS1332 class is one of my all-time favorites at GT, due in large part to how diverse the amount of learning materials there are. You can watch the module videos if you're more visual, use the vistool if you're more hands-on, or read from the slides if you prefer text-answers. The tests can be tricky, but are quite fair. Best CS course @GT.

I took the online section of this class and Dr. HB has amazing lecture videos that are incredibly helpful and well done! the exams are pretty difficult, but fair enough if you know the content. She's also really understanding, I had to take an emergency absence and she waived any late points I had on the HWs. I would definitely recommend!

Probably the most caring professor I've ever had. She wants her students to not only succeed in this class but in your life and career. Her course is tough, but she explains topics well and although I never went to her Office Hours, she seems like the type of professor that would do whatever it took to help you out.

Dr. HB had amazing lecture videos and was a great person. CS 1332 was a bit more difficult than CS 1331 but there were plenty of resources to help one succeed on everything. Tons of extra credit administered throughout the year as well (about 7 bonus points towards exams + CIOS bonus).

Important class. Very good lecturer for the portion of the class she teaches. Attend class. Very good and accessible TA's, take advantage of them. You need to stay on top of homework and understanding to do well. Grading is harsh on tests, and the material on them seems more complicated and abstract than you would expect from a core understanding.

Super easy class; pretty easy lectures. Wish she engaged a lot more with the class. Also, the lectures were really slow. Take Faulkner

The online class. Would recommend if you are comfortable with online pacing. The recorded content is pretty close to what is on the exam and isn't significantly out of date. Just make sure to keep up with the recorded content prior to the exams. Loved the sections on additional topics in theory that wasn't present in the online CS1331 class.

Lectures aren't very helpful. Her videos are pretty good and the TAs are very helpful. Basically very TA led. Faulkner taught our class once and he was pretty good, take him instead. Exams aren't too bad and similar to past exams but grades were very test heavy.
