Very easy class. Just show up, do the assignments, then leave. If you don't understand how to do them, she will typically help you personally, but a lot of the time the answers on how to do things can be found in the textbook/online. She doesn't seem to like it when students are smart and do not need their hand held for the class, though.
Gives lots of example which is nice. Makes me understand topics better.
She is friendly and nice.
Professor Manati is a great! She works with you and always tell you to ask her questions.
Professor Manati is experienced and provides you with her help when you need it. Highly recommend her class.
Just show up and she will help you along the way. Very helpfully and caring.
She's very helpful and her instructions are clear.
amazing teacher
Gives you what you need to succeed. Highly recommend this class.
great teacher
as long you paid attention in class no reason you should fail , not much and use common sense , those who do fail ether gave up or don't care
very nice and helpful.
She's very approachable and a great instructor. This class is very easy just follow the directions on the projects and ask for help if you need any.
Great teacher! Really knows her stuff and is more than willing to help if you need it. Definitely would recommend
Just show up and do your work and you will pass.
Manati actually showed real life situations rather than just reading from the book. She acted like the client for one project and had us perform a mock meeting. This is a lot better than just reading from powerpoint.
Great teacher! Easy class!
Pay attention in class, do homework and you'll get an A. Projects are fairly simple if you did the assigned homework.
Amazing teacher, always willing to help students in and out of class. Homework and project feedback are always quick and descriptive.
this Professor is the best i would recommend
Best professor
She was a nice professor but she was always a good 15-30 mins late to every class which was already wasting the hour and 15 mins we get with her already. She wasted a lot of time trying to explain certain scenarios for the programs she wanted to assign to us. I left this class thinking that even with an A+ in the class that i still need to retake.
I never showed up but she allowed me to do all my work from home and online . Every assignment I could retry multiple times till I got an A+. Every single person got an A+. Easiest class ever . Best teacher ever , shes almost like a pushover teacher , but low key shes just insanely ely nice
She is a good professor. Always links what we study to how we would use them at work. She cares about us and makes sure we understand topics in course. I recommend her classes.
Very interactive projects inside class. It is easy for me to understand tasks. She cares about us
informative
I took java class from her and i learned lot of stuff. Classes are interactive and helpful. In whole semester she gave just 2-3 project that s it no homework and stuff. I suggest everyone who want to get easy A and understand the class.
Reading the zybooks online textbook and doing the labs really helped me learn a lot and pass the tests.
She's great
Honestly, I have sadly been in college a long time from UCF to FAU to PBSC. Many professors and many classes. Professor Manati is truly the most caring professor I have had. She goes out of her way to make sure every student is going to pass and understands the material
Amazing teacher, take her, you won't regret it.
great professor :)
Great teacher, really wants and tries to help every student pass. Just show up and your be okay. Ask questions if you need helps shes looks for students to asks when confused. Great teacher easy A!
She is greater, she wants to help every student to pass .she is Amazing! take her!
She is amazing, she always tries to help students. Take her!
By no means is it an "Easy A". Professor Manati is smart and just makes sure she provides every piece of help and opportunity she can to her students so they get the "easy A" feeling. I truly enjoyed coming to her classes and having her be my professor for 2 of my classes. If I could take her for every class until graduation I would. Sadly I can't.
She's super nice and she teacher better than pretty much any other teacher I had at PBSC. Can't go wrong with her.
Great teacher who wants you to learn
Computer class, kinda boring, but prof Manati is a sweet caring lady, very knowledgable enjoyed her class just have to work on the projects, only need the code for Cengage not for the actual textbook.
she is super nice, i was scared the first day when she was explaining what we were gonna be doing throughout the semester but she made it so easy and helped us along the way explaining each step and answering our questions, very happy with this class!!
Offers clear and efficient lectures and is willing to help when necessary.
She is a good professor and the class is pretty straight forward and easy for the most part. Highly recommend her.
She's very easygoing and the class is easy enough if you have basic computer skills. The program you use can be tricky but she will help you through it just save yourself the time and just ASK.
Although, I selected attendance mandatory, If you have to skip class for any reason just let her know, and she will be able help you out. Once you get to know her, you will see that she is funny and care about her students.
She gives almost no homework with the exception of 2 or maybe three projects and gives more than enough time to complete them. If you need help she is always there to help and gives you plenty of resources to utilize to get your assignments done.
Great Professor
I feel that no matter the class, it's the professor's teaching and personality that makes or breaks the understand-ability of the subject they're teaching. She made this class a lot easier to understand and more enjoyable with a joke every now and then that I'd chuckle at too haha. Definitely a great teacher to take!
Professor Manati is a great professor and is always willing to help any student understand the material. Students should read over material for the class and be present in class in order to understand the material. She does not assign any quizzes or tests and is light when assigning homework. She is available after class for any questions.
Overall this is a great class to begin your journey into computer science. She gives plenty of time for the first project to make sure that everyone, even people who are struggling or behind a chance to really work on it and understand the material. The only grades are a few projects and she assigns chapter reading weekly.
The Professor is very helpful and wants everyone to succeed. She allows you class time to finish homework. Definitely recommend this Professor.
Great professor who is easy to work with and very resourceful. Helps when needed and allows the class to collaborate in order to actively learn.
Great professor. Just do your work good and you will get a good grade. Not too much work to do. Would take again.
She's a really nice professor and tells you what you need to do. It's just that she doesn't always teach in a way that I can understand.
Very caring and committed to helping you understand the material. She will help with any questions but doing your own research outside of class is very important.
Very nice and does her best.
professor Manati is a great professor to learn the basics of computer programming, she is not critical with the work she assigns but is more interested in making sure you're understanding why you're doing what you do
Hello, I am currently taking Prof Manati and I really enjoy her class. She has a very modern teaching style and does not give tons of time consuming assignments. She will walk you through all the steps in class and has a very clear and direct set of instructions of what she expects. Don't hesitate to take her. She is awesome!
She was very respectful and works hard to ensure her students are taken care of.
Prof Manati is a great professor to learn from. Her expectations, although seemingly difficult at first, end up being easier-to-finish than one would originally think. You must at least attempt to answer all questions given; there's no wiggle room for not at least trying to answer questions on quizzes/tests. Very flexible if you're trying to learn.
Prof Manati makes the class easy. She is one of the best Professors I ever had. She makes the class easy.
. 5 Star. Very Informative and enjoyable course easy to catch the topic. I recommend to every student. In whole semester we got only like 3 assignment.
Great Prof 10/10 would take again
Great professor 10/10 would take again.
I have taken her for 3 different classes now and got near-perfect scores in all of them with very little effort.
Great class, there are very few assignments. The assignments themselves are short and easy, and if you have prior coding knowledge, it's going to be a breeze. There are no textbooks either.
Pretty Into to programming class. Relaxed environment to learn.
There was a girl crying in class begging the professor to please allow her to do her missing module since she tested positive for covid a few weeks back but the teacher was not willing to help. Had to spend 120 dollars on cengage which grades itself for the teacher to never be generous with deadlines.
She had all assignments available for us. Very supportive with steps. She let me share my screen and helped me with some steps I was getting error. Ill be taking another class she teaches in spring
We programmed almost in every session. Doesnt just lecture she actually shows you how to program.
Terrible professor I'd say
Plenty of support do your work youll pass
She is the best professor at PBSC. So friendly and accessible outside the class. Quick response over email also easy grader.
This professor has long lectures for seemingly no reason, but she makes the class so easy that as long as you have a computer you'll probably get 100%. If you are already well versed in MS programs these lectures will be TEDIOUS, but she does give you options sometimes that if you have the course material done already you can skip that lecture.
easy A .. great class
Great teacher.
Very helpful and always welling to stay stay and help a student.
easy A as long as you actually turn in things before deadline
super nice.
very nice person
A Cengage access code is required for this class. All assignments are done on Cengage and they are fairly easy. She provides a class schedule in the beginning of class, so make sure you keep up with the due dates. Attendance does not really matter, and YouTube will be your friend when it comes to projects. You're welcome. Easy A!
Can be boring but the class is super easy. You will have to buy cengage as that's where all the assignments are located. She gives a semester schedule that shows when and what is due so you won't fail as long as you don't miss the due date lol
Just Show up and do the work , she is very helpfull. She works with you Easy class homework is well spread out , do at your own pace. Would take class again. (Online)
She was the easiest classI I took this Spring. Teacher is very helpful. She listen and completely understand is there is any problem. She gives a lot of time to complete homework. If you thinking to take a Microcomputer class don't doubt to take it with her
A Cengage access code is required for this class however, you could take advantage of the 14 days trial period if you have the experience in MS programs something the teacher is not quite transparent, with that said, the class is easy. YouTube is a great resource. Words, Excel and PowerPoint 3 Projects & exams, Access projects are optional.
Prof. Manati provides clear and concise direction to learn the course material. The classes tended to be lecture heavy with light text book use. I felt that prof. Manati was understanding in grading assignments. For example, if you made a typo error but she knows you understood the problem, you would get full credit. Personal help is offered too.
Prof is nice and has entertaining lectures, but she is impossible to contact outside of class and never responds to emails. I have never been so thoroughly ignored by a prof lol. She has very few assignments with often vague instructions, and leaves zero feedback. This is a problem because if you have a question/issue, you can't contact her to ask.
Very kind, responsive, and knowledgeable. Professor M knows exactly what shes talking about and this class was a pleasure. Will be taking her for more programming classes later on.
She is a great professor all around!
Professor Menati is great. I've had her for a couple classes and will gladly take more with her. Her assignments are highly effective at teaching the related concepts. Listening to her lecture is easy, since she has a nice voice. I wish more professors had Menati's qualities.
Very friendly and easy to understand
Professor Manati is great. Her teaching style is great for an intro course, she has patience and doesn't mind answering questions. Her courses are a pleasant experience.
A very solid professor and relatively easy class if you have some knowledge of programming. If this is your first programming course you may get a little lost and have to reference websites or the textbook a bit. However, she is more than happy to assist you and help you understand the content. Class is broken up into lecture and practice sessions.
Professor Manati was realistically very professional at the time she taught our COP2800 class online. She was very friendly and would answer any questions. I really appreciated her as a professor. If you have an assignment late or something happened, let her know, and she will help, take it :DD
Very well professor
Really easy they go over the assignments with you, so you wont be lost.
The class is very straightforward. If you do the work the week that it is assigned, you won't have a problem in the class.
Lots of examples. Plenty of example programs. We participate in coding.
Very sweet, patient lady. Happy to answer all questions. This was a Zoom class and we had one project and one exam due each week. SUPER easy class and we did the projects together on Tuesdays on Zoom. I would totally have this professor again. This class was a breeze. I was able to do my exams the night before they were due.
I like it class ,
Excellent professor.
Prof Manati was a good professor for intro to database. Her class mostly consists of lectures which can sometimes drag on. She is a really nice professor, but her teaching can be confusing at times. Only 5 grades for the semester(2 Projects, Mini Project, Midterm, Final). Easy grader and easy class if you have to take it, but can be taught better
This is a very easy class if you can teach yourself how to code. There are not a lot of assignments and she does not give feedback but she is an easy grader. She gives a free pdf of the textbook so as long as you read it and do the work you'll be fine.
Is very easy the class, and you don't need a textbook but all assignments is through Cengage and that you have to paid. I got a B just because I got lazy at the end of the course but is so easy that everyone could get an A. The trainings are the same as the exams so I would recommended to do them at the same time.
She is really caring and likes making conversation with the students. If there is a certain problem people had under some circumstances she would extend the deadline. If find that you need to attend class she makes it easy to understand. She even would give us some kind words if we were going through problems in our personal lives. Great professor.
Highly recommended professor for the class, she's very nice and caring about how you score, though despite the automatic grading that the software uses, she completely understands that the process makes some mistakes and happily adds points back to make up for it, I could make a 5 page essay on how great this professor was but I'm limited to 350 ch
Took this in fall 2022. Take her if you want to learn absolutely nothing so you have time to self-study. This class is unbelievably easy and information is often repeated (con). She is a very good person, but she didn't really teach us much, just the bare minimum. Work is not that crazy. 2 projects, 1 mini project, a midterm, and a final. That's it
Professor manati was a great professor, she helps you in every possible way and basically impossible to fail her class. If you want learn how to code take this professor. You will not regret it.
My biggest complaint is her lack of response. Everyone in my class related to the fact that no one could access her, and if we did, it was so late. With that, some of her instructions were really vague which left some students a bit confused. Overall, she gives lots of time for each assignment. I would recommend to find a few buddies in the class.
Good professor, she knows her stuff for sure. My only complaint is if you take hybrid class, it makes it a little harder (not by much). You dont get enough class time to really get good so you need to do your own research to better understand C. Other than that, good class.
One of the best professors at PBSC. Every class I take with her is a pleasure.
Striving for quick graduation, I'm studying at two FL colleges. Found this online C# course on floridashines. Despite being one-month accelerated, the professor made it manageable by guiding us through code and encouraging teamwork. Clear grading made it even better. Eager for more classes with her, maybe PHP next? :-P
Professor Manati is a wonderful Professor, I would take her again because she makes it fun and enjoyable. She is inciteful and warm. Thank you Professor for a great semester of learning. Best wishes, Jonathan Z (Summer B '23)
She is so friendly. I suggest taking her courses.
You have to self teach yourself, doesn't get back to emails. Nice person but doesn't teach anything whatsoever
She is a perfect person and teacher.
Read the text book, she goes over each chapter in lecture but if you don't read the chapter, you will be behind. Mid term and Final make up 65% of the grade. But exams are not hard and the code you need for the test has been done in class and in projects. Professor is friendly and is available in class or online for questions.
This is the second course I've taken with her. She's very laid back and generous with her grading. My only "complaint" is the assignments were a little too easy. However, the laid back atmosphere made learning this stuff more enjoyable.
This professor DOES NOT respond to phone messages or emails EVER. Figure the class out on your own. Sure would be nice to ask a question so you know how to correct your mistakes. Would not recommend. I don't know why PBSC has many professors like this.
Professor Manati is a very good choice for COP-2800! She made the course a breeze. I took it live online, where participation and attendance are important! However, the assignments are easy and she's very flexible if there's any problems completing them. Overall, I loved her class! I'd definitely take a class with her again.
very nice
Professor Manati doesn't really teach you anything or has a streamlined method of teaching. Be ready to teach yourself everything in this course. However, she is a very nice individual who responds to emails eventually.
She was a good professor willing to help whenever you ask for. Sometimes the lectures are boring as it was live online class for 3 hours.
Took this online. Was not available for questions and did not respond to emails regarding submission of projects. Nothing was graded until the canvas course was gone and that is when I found out I got a poor grade. Have to teach yourself everything. If this person were AI I would not be phased. Not a good prof to take a fully online course with.
Great Professor, nice and resolves issues quickly.
She is really lovely. She could probably be more thorough but it is difficult with an online class where the class doesn't participate much. A LOT of assignments, but they are easy assignments, so it isn't hard to get through and easy to not fall behind.
Kind of a teach-yourself course, but the class is easy. Most of the assignments besides quizzes you can retake until you get 100%, and she was lenient with turning work in late; she accepted assignments all the way at the end of the semester. Lots of homework but it's tedious and easy; I took her live-online and the lectures ended early usually
Prof. Manati is a pretty great instructor - she's super nice and the class is pretty straightforward. The assignments are easy, and her grading is flexible. For study prep, I found unstuckstudy and the provided textbook really helpful.
The class is not taught by this professor, rather, you have to teach yourself. Exams and projects are randomly added in without your knowledge and you have a day to get them completed. Professor Manati does not respond to emails, and when they do, they do not give an answer on what you asked. Steer clear, take a different Professor.
will do 2 discussions per modules, ended up writing more in this class than in my writing classes. no communication, will take well over a month to grade assignments, will not reply if you email for help.
She is really chill and makes sure explain things through, if you are new with computers I would recommend it and the work is not hard.
I am currently in her class, and she is an amazing and helpful professor. Her lectures are interactive, and she always speaks positively about her students, encouraging us to do our best. She explains everything in detailed, easy-to-understand ways. If you submit your assignments on time and attend class regularly, you'll do well. Highly recommend!
This class was a nightmare. Way too much work, outdated programs, unclear instructions, and unfair grading. I felt like I had to teach myself everything while the professor barely guided us. Extremely stressful class I would NOT recommend taking her.
That she is good for the Class, she teach so well
Very good professor. She answered my questions regarding how to access my assignments, due to issues with zybooks. Very nice person. I appreciate her kindness not many people like that out there.
Good professor and very flexible about late work and grading.
Good professor and very flexible when it comes to late work and grades.
