Awesome teacher, learn a lot in IT 202, DL class, i would highly recommend Prof. Deek, and i am again taking her for CIS 601. She is very fast in replying. If u have any questions, email her she will reply very fast. Always helpful... very nice Professor.

Do not take this class if you expect to learn anything. If you learn mostly from reading books, then by all means take this class. Her feedback is limited to "excellent review" or "you need to write more". You better hope at least one person knows how to program in your group. I can think of worse

Do Not Take A Online course with her if at all possible!! Her grading is rediculas, me and several classmates got 12/25 on programming assigments when we had close to if not perfect code! Directions are vauge and confusing, she is nice and helpful, but that don't mean nothing with her grading system

Excleent teacher. Gives a fair amount of work, but is fair in grading policy. I wish I could take another coure with her.

Took three DL classes this semester. This is actually the only course that expected any work of me. Got a B and my money worth.

I was warned before I took this class that Mrs. Deek will be tough, which she indeed was. But she was also fair and very helpful. I strongly recommend her to the serious student. Will be taking another DL class with her this fall.

Helpful instructor. Course content should be updated, but there is lots of opportunities to have practical discussions in webct. Lots of programming assignments which is good for practice.

Had two IT courses with her already. It was pretty good. Yes, a lot of work but a fair grader. Taking CIS 490 with her again now. The best so far. Very organized and relevant to what I do in my job as software developer.

Just took the midterm. So far so good. Very useful projects, but a lot of work. Grading is fair and instructor is helpful. Responds to emails and class questions almost immediately.

Have her for three courses. She is doing an excellent job in all three. Course material is very informative and she is very helpful. Her midterms really test my knowledge of the material so they were hard, but she grades fair. I hope I can take her again in an other course.

This was a very good software engineering course. Well organized projects that covered everything about SE. Instructor is helpful and responsive. Best DL course I have taken but had difficulties getting my team members to do their parts in the group project. Overall a valuable experience.

I dont like DL but I didnt want to take the other instructor. Was a good decision. If you want to be a software developer you will appreciate this class very much The professor is very helpful and knowledgeable. She is on line all time which is good when you need help. It is not an easy course but if you participate in webct, do the projects and ta

I took this course two semesters ago and did not realize its usefulness until I got my first IT job. If you want a course that combines theory and applications of information design, this is the one. The instructor is pretty good and very helpful. Will make you work hard but is also a fair grader.

Excellent professor. I had her for several classes and she has a good command of the material. I highly recommend her.

Wonderful professor. I learned a lot in this class. Material is very useful. Very hands on! Teacher is online literally 24/7 to answers any questions or concerns you may have. I highly recommend this course and the professor

Excellent teacher. This is the second course I took with her and I plan on taking IT202 in the spring with her. She is very helpful. She is always willing to help her students.

Really nice lady; will always help you if you ask.

She teaches the class online. There is a lot of work but it's all organized. Just follow her directions and you'll get an A or B. Participate in the weekly discussions and hand the work on time. I'm taking a third class with her this Fall 2010. That's how much I think that this professor is the one that should be taken for all IT classes.

I had here in 1999 and 2000 for CIS 113 and 114. She is a good teacher but she will make you WORK. It is not easy but u will learn a lot.

Really easy professor. As long as you do your work and project you'll pass with flying colors. Exam are a bit hard but she is a really easy grader. She also curves at the end as well.

Online section. Textbook needed to do the weekly chapter summaries. Midterm and Final are 10 Qs mostly based off slides, with some content from book. Gives partial credit on exams. Programming projects are reasonable and are mostly HTML and Javascript, but also include a little bit of JSP and PHP. Googling tutorials will suffice. Not difficult.

You can look up all of her assignments on Youtube. Not a very good professor, but very quick to email. Tends to be a lenient grader, and lenient with herself too when it comes to grading. Her review that she posts in moodle2 before an exam IS THE EXAM. The parts she points out are the parts on the exam. Not a professor for everyone.

if you're a person that knows coding, then take it. but if you're a person that's okay with coding don't take it. everything you do in her online course you have to teach yourself that, she doesn't post videos for anything.

Online class. If you already have a handle on "advanced" Java work (creating Java appsapplets, knowing node trees, etc) you will do fine. Class does not have online meetings, just summarize the slides from Moodle each week. Information in this class is very outdated and assignments will take long if you're not experienced in Java

Study for midterm,final and you will be good

Very straightforward course and professor. As long as you have a basic grasp of the concepts of the class you should do well.

Maura was one of the best Profs. I've had at NJIT. She was extremely helpful with the projects required for IT202. I had already taken Advance Java programming at ECC before I came to NJIT, so learning JSP in this class was a breeze for me. Got an A!!

Maura Deek is a wonderful instructor. She promptly responds to emails. She helps you when you are have difficulty with an assignment. She is a quick and fair grader. Highly recommend her.

Professor Deek is a wonderful instructor. She literally worked with me for many hours over several days to get my assignment working, but also to make sure I understood the material. You come out of this very well cersed

Maura Deek is very knowledgeable and helpful professor. She is always connected to Moodle and her email. She is very responsive. She responds quickly to students and grades very quickly. She gives good feedback and wants to make her students succeed.

She's a fair grader and replies to emails very quickly. I'd recommend taking her class if you REALLY want to learn and are willing to put the effort. Read the chapters, participate in the weekly discussions, and do the assignments. She gives you review topics before the exams. Knowing theory is key to pass her courses.

Definitely one of the Best instructors in the business: really passionate and supportive. Everything you need is there (including her).She replies back before you even finish your typing.. Her assignments are very doable, and can be learned from her materials, books, or even YouTube. There're so much to say but not enough characters allowed...

5 assignments. Not too bad, if you read the book/look online for help. The idea is that you try. She was very patient with me, as I emailed her a lot. She was very forgiving when I asked her a ton of questions. Always responded right away. 4 paragraphs every week in a forum, respond to another forum post. Not too bad, honestly. Just try

AMAZING PROFESSOR! Caring and very helpful. She will work with you at times convenient for you day, night and on the weekend! More accessible than any professor I have ever had! She answers emails quickly. She was patient with my endless questions and gave me the encouragement needed to succeed. She is a fair and quick grader. Could go on and on.

Had Professor Deek for 114 and 202. She is extremely helpful as long as you ask questions. She does a great job in breaking down concepts in depth rather then keeping it objective. Was able to understand Java, HTML, PHP, and MySQL databases through her courses. I would highly recommend you take her if you wish to truly understand the subject.

I had to come back and respond to some of the negative comments here. Most of the disgruntled students making derogatory remarks here will most likely work less and expect an A at the end of the semester. The standard in Prof class is high so if you are lazy student and want an easy path to pass her class then I'm sorry you not gonna survive.

I had Prof Deek for IT202 and found she was a terrific professor. A few semesters later I needed to take IT114 and I signed up for her class without hesitation. She is caring, knowledgeable and accessible to her students. Will you have to work in the course? Yes, but she is a fair grader and wants her students to succeed. MY ADVICE TAKE HER!!!!!!

I had Maura Deek for IT202 and IT114. She is one of the best professor I had. She replies to emails almost immediately! She grades fairly! She worked with me to resolve all my issues! She is accessible 7 days a week. I highly suggest her for both these courses! You will learn as well as succeed! Great professor! Could go on but out of characters!

Terrific professor. She is kind and caring. She will help you any time you ask. The key is to ask! Literally has spent hours with me on assignments. Read her weekly emails to know what is important to know for the exams. Videos and websites to help with coding assignments! Truly enjoy this class and learned so much!

I just finished a GREAT semester with Professor Deek. She goes out of her way to help students. Her assignments really help you learn the material. She indicates what materials to focus on the exam and that is the material you are tested on. I would recommend her class to anyone who wants to become proficient in Web Programming!

Because the course is online, you have to basically teach yourself, although prof Deek is always more than happy to help. She replies to emails quickly and provides tons of useful feedback. Weekly short coding assignments with a discussion post and 5 somewhat lengthy projects total. If you put in some effort, you wont have to worry about passing.

Prof Deek is an amazing instructor. So lucky to have had her as my instructor! I learned so much: HTML, JS, SQL and PHP. She's patient and caring. She posts a ton of material that is helpful in doing the assignments. She is accessible all week & at various times. Online course so you need to have good time management skills! Fair and quick grader!

Her work is very hard but the textbooks in her syllabus help prepare you for the content. She's also always available and most of the time will respond within the hour you email her. She's very lenient with grading too and is understanding if you ask for extensions.

Professor Deek is gracious, kind and compassionate. As a non-traditional student I was struggling with the material so I reached out to her. She was amazing! She quickly stepped in to guide me. She was available and her encouragement helped me immensely. She truly cares about her students' well being and that they succeed in this course.

Prof Deek is a patient, understanding, and caring instructor. It is not easy to find a truly amazing teacher as dedicated to helping their students as she is. She is always responsive and helpful. This course has taught me more than any other class. Her assignments will push you, but at the same time help you to learn a lot. One of the BEST!

Prof Deek is a exceptional professor. She gives great feedback throughout the semester. Everything has been a really good experience in this course. Her documentation for assignments are superior, well organized, easy to understand, and complete, even with more complex concepts. Exam questions come from her well documented recaps and PPT slides.

Truly enjoyed Prof Deek's class. I learned a lot of new useful material that can be applied to other courses and my own projects. The class is well organized. All the course material is posted before the start of the semester. Projects are challenging yet interesting and provide a great foundation in the fundamentals of HTML, JS, PHP and SQL.

She was kind and understanding as I went through a tough time this semester. She was always there to help and guide me. When I needed information or clarification she provided it. This course allowed me to learn the interaction between front end and the back end development. Really enjoyed the course and glad I took with Professor Deek.

Enjoyed this class with Prof Deek. Great online experience. Her weekly recaps, PPT slides and videos have a lot of helpful material that help with projects. She responds to emails immediately. She is always willing to help her students. She cares that they do well in the course. You will have to work in the course, but you will learn a lot!

Truly admire Prof Deek! She is the best professor I have taken classes with at NJIT. She is willing to help students understand & learn in her course. She's always quickly responding to student inquiries & contacts struggling students. She's well versed in the topics. Material is well organized. Can't say how much I loved/enjoyed the class & prof.

Although an online course, there's no lack of communication between students & professor. She makes sure students are keeping up by checking in with them. Personally, have asked for help & never felt I couldn't. She always kept that window of communication open. Amazing teacher & passionate about the success of her students. Would take her again!

Even though this section was taught asynchronously online, Maura did a fantastic job communicating information about the class and giving feedback on assignments which has made it super easy to understand the course material. Assignment instructions & feedback are clear. She's more involved and accessible than most in person professors.

She is simply superb. Very caring and will help you until you learn it. If you want to be a well trained IT professional, take her class.

I have taken strictly online classes since I transfered to NJIT. Maura Deek ran the best online class among all the courses I have taken. Also she was the most helpful and available. There is a lot of content material that she developed to supplement the text. Too much work but that is how I learned my web development skills that got me a job.

Always available to help with course material and programming assignments. By the far the best online course and instructor I have taken at NJIT. The technical content of the course is absolutely essential for my full stack developer/manager job.

The assignments are challenging but Professor Maura Deek is very helpful and explains what is going on with your programming errors and how to fix them. The lecture slides are comprehensive and long but much better than any book I have used. A lot to read but very useful and up to date content.

A great professor who expects students to give good effort during the semester if they want to earn the A. I would happily take her again and feel that I learned a lot during in the class!

Best coding professor I have ever had, is so quick to grade and is extremely fair, checks her emails and responds very quickly, is very dedicated to making sure every student has a fair chance in her class and loves to see her students figuring things out and learning

I found Maura to be one of the most compassionate and fair professors I have taken at NJIT. Her accessibility and proactive approach in a asynchronous course went above and beyond any face to face instructors I have had. She has an excellent grasp of the material and I would recommend her class to anyone wanting to learn Web Development skills.

Maura was very helpful and was happy meet outside of class to discuss questions and concerns. She promptly responds to all concerns even during late nights and weekends. Easier to reach than professors I see in person. She grades promptly and gives good feedback. Maura wants her students to succeed and helps them to do so in any way she can.

This is an asynchronous course, but you would not know it as the prof is very accessible. She is very attentive of her students and quickly responds to any concerns that students have. She actively reaches out to students to see if they need help. She is very dedicated to making sure every student has a fair chance in her class. Truly a great prof

Just finished an amazing semester with Maura. She was kind, caring and knowledgeable. She does an excellent job being present as an online instructor. She was very patient with me and gave me guidance throughout the semester. Learned a lot of valuable skills that will be useful as I finish my degree and start working in the IT field.

I do not understood the complaints about Professor Deek. I had her last semster and she was nothing but helpful. She providesd numerous resources for students including herself as a resource. My opinion is the individuals complaining about the course and the professor don't want to put in the effort needed to do well and excel in the course.

Deeks class is not for the week. Material feels like it's 10+ years old. Homework, projects, and quizzes/tests all do in the same week that will keep you up ALL night. Turn in all your work, and you'll be fine. Everyone at NJIT talks about the Libby curve, but the Deek curve is INSANE. So if you can just stick it out.

Professor Deek did have a lot of work over the week however I never felt myself crunched for time trying to finish them. Projects 1 and 2 Seemed to be really difficult however the last 2 were extremely easy to me. Exams were most of the grade like other reviews said so be ready however she does curve a letter grade at the end. Explains lost points.
