Tests and programs are very easy, however she seems very nervous when she lectures and becomes unclear at times. She's very helpful if you visit her office hours though

Great teacher, had hero for Intro to C. I already pretty much knew C before this class, but can tell that someone without knowledge in C can do well in this class because of her. She always asked if a person understood the material. She stated over and over, "I'm paid to teach you, so if your having trouble ask me." Great teacher overall!

awesome teacher. very cool person. i took her for operating systems and computer animation. very clear and grades very fairly. i would recommend her to anyone

SHE IS AN ANGEL!!! don't listen to the guy below me because she is an amazing teacher. Very nice, patient, and VERY LENIENT!! she is a God send in my eyes! I hear some of the other programming teachers arent that good but I would highly recommend her. pay attention, and do code lab and you will do fine. I loved this women and enjoyed having her!

To the comments below: COP2220 is a weed-out class, computer science can be very hard. What you'll see in real life is much harder than codelab. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and lenient. I actually don't like the fact that she goes too easy on Seniors, but she is worried that we won't understand, so she takes her time with us. Not a bad thing.

Great teacher and really cares for the students. Even though attendance is not mandatory, she wants the studetns to show up and learn. Recommend to everyone.

A poster was right about how she goes beyond codelab. Programming is about putting things together and it can be very difficult if you have no experience and don't put a lot of time into this. Her pace was fair, assignments were OKAY. Tests written tests. I think if you go to her office hours you can pull off an A, if you need the help. She is nice

One of the best professors I have ever had. Very helpful, very straight forward. Was not difficult for me having been a programmer for a few years but does require work. If you are not a programmer, this course WILL be work for you. It is hard. You will need to study! Does not "use" the book as she has her own examples but book can be helpful.

Great instructor, great attitude, relaxed in class, and very helpful. It wasn't a tough subject for me, but I know she always made herself available to those who needed extra help. I had a fam emergency halfway through the semester and she was very accomodating with my grades. Awesome instructer!

She's a pretty good professor. The first half of the semester is really easy. Then it gets pretty difficult fast with Semaphores and monitors. It is an easy B class.

Easy class if you have any prior knowledge of programming. I'm sure its just as easy without. Tests are simple, homework is irritating but not plentiful. Tami is very nice and funny.

Operating systems was my second course with her (I had her for Intro to C and it had really solidified my interest in the subject). She's a great instructor, very interested in the subject, and she has a relaxed and fun attitude. She definitely keeps it interesting and if you keep thorough notes, you should do fine.

Records lecture for reviewing made this 100% better for me. She is very clear and class is more entertaining then most others. Study a good amount and anyone should be able to get an A. Test are not hard but they do make sure you understand the material not just remember.

Ms. Sorgente (Tami) is one of the best computer science educators I've ever had. Her and Joy helped convince me to make computer science my career.

She is a great professor and explains things very well. If you go to class you will learn everything you need to and will never have to open the text book. You have to enjoy programming though and if you don't you probably shouldn't be taking the class.

Good professor, take good notes as she gives the answers to most assignments in class. Pretty easy class overall if you pay attention and read the book ahead of time.

I walked into this class knowing nothing about the language or comp sci in general. She gave answers in class and although her lectures weren't the best, there was a ton of help and tutoring resources. Its a tough class but i got a lot out of it, it was worth it and Sorgente is definitely better than other profs teaching C according to the tutors

Never program in my life before this class, but I got an A. Just do whatever she telling you to do, go to class, take notes, practice the codes, and don't copy someone else's work. The final is in hand writing, I didn't do very well (85% or something), but I got full credits in all the assignments and above 90% in quizzes. She's a very cool lady.

She's very nice and her lectures are engaging. The labs/quizzes aren't difficult because she goes over everything and basically gives you the answers beforehand. The final exam is hard but she gives practice problems that are VERY similar to ones on the exam so it helps a lot. I've never programmed before in my life and I found her class easy.

I've never programmed before this class but I found this class to be an easy A. Tami provides so many resources to help with the assignments and she's always quick to respond to emails. If you want to pass, take good notes, practice coding, and watch her videos. Also, she gives you a full page of helpful notes that you can use on the final exam :)

Tami is a bomb professor/ hard grader. She uses simple illustrations to teach difficult concepts in computer science. To teach the code for the class she uses games and real life stories. Tami jokes with the students. She is good looking, and definitely hip and with it. To do well in this class, like she says code, code, code. And go to the tutors.

She's a great professor! The lectures are clear and she provides a lot of examples. I got good feedback on my homework and quizzes. The few times I needed to contact her, she responded fairly quickly. The class was pretty easy, but make sure to monitor your time on tests. I know that got a lot of people during the final.

You really have to show up and pay attention in this class. If you take good notes and practice at home, you'll do well. Professor Sorgente is really cool though, she doesn't take sh*t from anyone. She's kind of harsh though in the sense that if she thinks you asked a stupid question, she'll make you feel dumb for it. She is very good at explaining

Excellent choice to learn from. You cannot go wrong choosing a course with this professor. Can not wait to take her for other courses.

Super nice professor, class is a bit challenging but she's there always to help. Gives a decent amount of notes and time for assignments, but you have to go to class and put in some effort.

Took for Computer OS online. Highly recommend. You can find her lectures on YouTube. It will be two 10-15 min lectures/week, plus textbook reading. Straightforward grading criteria on all assignments/projects. You have 10 days or more to complete assignments, longer for projects. If you do well in self-paced online courses, this Prof is for you.

Good lectures, relevant examples, and is quick to respond to emails of you ask specific questions. had her for multiple classes and she is a good prof. Yea her tests are hard, she is not an easy A but you will learn a lot if you actually try. Intro to C is a weed out class, hence the complaints about the final. Want to learn CS topics? Take her

Super nice and helpful. The class was somewhat challenging but Tami's online lectures were very clear and easy to understand. She also provided lots of example problems that are similar to the problems on the exams. The majority of your grade comes from the midterm and final but if you put in the effort and study, the exams shouldn't be difficult.

Tami is amazing! So kind and helpful. Her lectures are engaging and she uses a lot of examples to help students understand the material. Her exams aren't hard if you study and practice her example problems (which are almost identical to the problems on the exams).

Dr. Sorgente is one gem of a professor. She is very sweet and she has a lot of resources to help you understand the material. If you have trouble with homework, go to her office hours or email her! She will help you out. Her quizzes are exactly what she covers in class and her final is not as hard as long as you keep practicing what she teaches.

The professor makes great lectures, powerpoints, and notes and you can choose any of them to learn the material well. The homework gives a lot of feedback and is overall very helpful. There are also sample exams provided that are very helpful, and any other issues I had with assignments the teacher helped walk me through them.

Hands down, one of the best Computer Science professors at FAU. Gives plenty of resources and examples to do good on homework and exams. She's also easy to reach by email at any time!! If you want to learn how to program, this is the professor.

Sorgente was a great professor, definitely would take again. She provided her own notes for each chapter, videos walking through coding assignments and reviewing class material. Quizzes were very fair and lots of practice material was provided for exams. She has a great vibe as well and is very nice.

Dr. Sorgente was nice. She canceled an exam we did well on because some people cheated so our finals were graded heavily. The exams were all open book which made it a lot easier in case you forgot a piece of code. Exams were tough, but not too bad. Our projects were a lot of fun and she had YouTube videos that walked us through them step by step.

Amazing professor. Willing to help with anything you needed and provides awesome lectures. She writes out majority of the programs you write since this was an intro class so you could hardly go wrong. Awesome professor and fun class.

Got an A in COP2220 online. 50% of the class is quizzes/projects/mylab that you could get 100% in everything if you tried but it would take effort. The other 50% is exams (10/10/30). She grades easily I would say, but overall its a lot of work for one class.

took cop3014 fall 2021, and cop2220 in spring 2021, both with tami. she has SO much to help you learn, like lectures every monday, supplementary material/videos, videos for the programs, practice code, everything. and on exams, she also just cares if you GET the material, not if youre perfect. def will take her a third time.

She was always helpful and responsive to e-mail. She also provides lots of extra support lectures and office hours.

Professor Sorgente truly cares but expects you to put in work. She is willing to help and discuss any topic or question you may have. Tests are not the easiest but programming is a subject that must be truly learned as it is technical and keeps getting more complicated. Do your work, go to class, do your assignments get your A. Simple.

Tami is great for this course, has great video w/step by step on how to do projects- sometimes can be confusing as she makes slight changes to instructions. Tests are very exhausting for beginners. Material covered helps a ton w/ data struct course later on. Worked on some cool projects, I do feel like she spoon fed us, but how else would we learn?

I took this class as a pre req so i didnt really care for trying. But she is a good professor and cares for student's grades. Tests were difficult and usually reflected specific codes in the programs we did as hw

Sorgente is a great teacher, but she does tend to get off-topic sometimes. Her class is composed of MyLab, programs, quizzes, 2 exams, and a final. It's 500 points total (150 is finals) and she offers 14 points extra credit. Attendance isn't mandatory and she posts videos on her canvas explaining topics. A cheat sheet is allowed for exams :)

Great professor. I had prior coding experience, and that may influence how difficult this class was for me; however, if you pay attention to her lectures or even just teach yourself a little, you will be fine. Open notes, so she tests for understanding the logic rather than memorizing the syntax. Was very kind when I had weird circumstances.

I liked that the course was very organized - everything was posted at the start of the semester so you could plan out when to do assignments. She provides tutorial videos and templates to help get you started on assignments. Quizzes and exams aren't too bad if you pay attention in class/read the material posted on Canvas

Tami is a great teacher. She is very enthusiastic and knows her material well. MyLab was fun and the projects are a great way to learn about the material we go over in class. Tests were fine.

The contents of the class were a little hard especially in the latter half although if you are able to do the homework you should be fine. Good teacher, very available, and will help students.

Prof Sorgente == 'Excellent'. Lectures are super accessible (Canvas & YouTube), & help w/ HW & studying for exams. Sorgente is super responsive, detailed, & clear via email - major plus! Homework divided b/w writing programs + algorithms; and Pearson lab questions (unlimited attempts) Grade well divided b/w HW, quizzes, & exams. Def recommend! A+

She is very nice and helpful if you email her. Her study guides are NOT good for the final. Lots of resources, but only one of them may be relevant to your assignment. She is fair and clear with grading. Overall, great professor.

If you put in the work, you'll end up will a good grade. The workload was good to help understand the material without being too intense. Sorgente lectures is a hit or miss, but there's lots of supplementary material. Her grading can seem a bit harsh, and she doesn't award points back if you discuss during her office hours. I'd still retake her.

Professor Sorgente is exceptional, offering abundant resources for her challenging class. She extends deadlines based on student feedback and provides live and pre-recorded lectures, PowerPoints, summarized PDFs, a textbook, and homework with additional textbook answers that help students understand the material.

Course is difficult, but she provides many resources (lectures, examples, slides), is very accessible, and teaches to the best of her ability. Homework are graded by TAs, but tests are generous and forgiving as they are graded by her. She seems to genuinely care about her students. I recommend you take her for this course.

This course is one of the hardest in CS. Tami has her own method which is really helpful, but also you will need to rely a lot on Indian youtubers to actually digest everything. She's definitely one of the best professor at FAU.

I had Sorgente for intro to C in Spring of 24, good all around. The rubrics for assignments were very clear, she let us bring a page of notes to the midterm and final.

Tami teaches very well- all lectures on youtube, gives a lot of hw, test is basically the hw, if u practice then u'll do well, if u have questions she's available for office hours, nice notes, quizzes are multiple attempts, tests are on honorlock

Very straightforward with what she asks of her students. And gives enough extra credit opportunities. The fact that she also has a you tube playlist of the playlist material that she teaches is also very helpful. Not much to say on this other than she's pretty good. A little tough for cop 3014 but fair.

Sorgente is a good professor who gives you lots of way to learn the material (live & recorded lectures, textbook, etc). The material is tough, and you do need to take time digest the material.

I took COP 3275C Which is an intro to C++ class. Personally I enjoyed the class and did well. It pretty project heavy but they aren't to long.If you have no experience with C++ you will struggle and should definitely invest time into learning the basics of C++. If you know C++ the class will be a breeze.

I also took COP2220 with sorgente, She nice when it come to giving feedback and grading. She's real straight forward. COT4420 probably one of the hardest class i took. I was on the verge of failing, on the final I ended up acing the exam. She provide good study guides. Easy to communicate with.
