great teacher if you put in your share. HELPFUL. expects college level work

I like her. I think people are intimidated by the amount of work she assigns.

Very nice, but expects a lot, everything must be done her way. avoid if possible

Gee, it sure would be nice to have a clue about programming b-4 we get to lab.

Exams are tough. Lot of info in a small time. Too quick with powerpoint slides..

Tough class, but a hard working, genuinely caring professor

Class is REALLY HARD!!! COBOL SUCKS, but Peterman is a decent teacher

she is geniunely caring if you put forth effort. hard, but you sure do learn.

Lots o' work, but she's helpful. Just make her laugh (it helps).. gobble gobble

assigns a lot of work. thinks that it is your only class but helpful if you ask.

She's a helpful, quality prof. - but tough for non-CS students

Go to office hours& e-mail, she will help! Study end of section ?'s 4 tests! A+

Good teacher, ask for help and be involved

wouldn't change anything learned a lot

i loved her, pesonable and approachable, i thought the work load was reasonable

She is a lot better professor than people say. She will give you help anytime.

I still am having programming nightmares

VERY HARD CLASS, VERY NICE TEACHER AFTER YOU GET ON HER GOOD SIDE!!

Dr. Jeckel and Mrs. Hyde...God help you on her bad days...

Found it boring, lots of busy work, and lab tests test things we haven't done

A lot of busy work but it's easy points, willing to help you. A good prof.

expects you to know as much as she does about programming...study & you'll do OK

Hard class, but she will help you with anything, anytime day or night.

Helpful on grading papers... didn't like database project

Just pay attention, know some math, & participate...you'll do fine!

COBOL - useless subject - Did a good job teaching it.

not a hard class, she still remembers me years later, cares about students

GREAT professor. A little mean, but its good for you. She'll teach you a lot.

Very well-organized class, she knows what she is teaching and is always on top of things, everything is clear from the beginning. Be careful, the class is taugh, not because CICS is hard, but because of the amount of time you need to dedicate to project.

A very good prof, but can be a total witch. Stay on her good side and she'll help you through the class.

gave extra when needed

Didn't particularly care for the class, and Teresa was an okay prof. A lot of work for just a 100 level classm, she doesn't have any control over the material though.

Too much outside work for an intro class and she expects you to know a lot too. Only 3 exams, which are fine if you study. You must keep up with the labs and outside assignments otherwise you'll lose a lot of points.

Professor in very nice to you as long as you do the work.Not a blow off class, must do all assignments before class and read for quizzes each week. If you want to really learn about computers, take this class! DONT CHEAT SHE WILL CATCH YOU!

Fairly easy class so fo far.

I have heard that other CS classes don't give nearly as much hw and this lady...there is about 2-3 hours of homework a week but it is easy and you actually learn a ton of stuff about computers. She is also very nice and always willing to help. Doesn't like it when she has to answer the same question in class twice so listen!

Professor Peterman is a good prof. She knows what she teaches back and forth. She mildly plays favorites but not to the extent that it affects your grade. Easy, but you have to work a bit which you should be used to in college. Not jaded, not a pedant, not a fire breathening hag dragon. A nice lady who teaches well.

This professor is very knowledgable in on what she teaches. She also makes it very clear what is expected on you. However, the lab tests and quizzes were extremely difficult. She also grades assignments harshly.I am divided on my final opinion of her, not great, not horrrible. But if you take her class, realize that it is not a slack off class.

Class was a joke, ridiculous amounts of homework and a useless book. Professor made wild accusations to some students. Take any other class but this one if you can, i wish i did. Probably in the bottom 3 of all IS classes i have taken.

Super nice lady!! This was one of the only profs that bothered to learn my name. She is very quick to help with homework questions, and as long as you keep up on the work you'll be fine. She doesn't demand attendence, but if you skip you'll get behind. Take her if you want to learn a lot. Good gen ed.

A tad arrogant but she definitely explains what she needs done. A couple of the labs are tough, others are easy. Syllabus lays out all homework for the semester so you can get ahead, and the homework is very easy, just doing the steps in the book. Quizzes/Exams are pretty easy too. Very knowledgeable teacher, favors people in class discussions...

I liked prof. Peterman, though I felt like her expectations for the class were too high. Some of the labs were too tough and it seemed like no one finished. On the other hand she really knows VB and teaches it pretty well and doesn't use powerpoints. She'll tell you what's on the exams for the most part. Overall she was a decent professor.

Labs and homework was sometimes difficult, but she was very helpful and responsive to emails and gave test information in lecture.

Definitely drives the material due to quiz every week over chapters. Class was very enjoyable. Learned a lot and very much enjoyed her.

She know's her stuff, and has a passion about it. Cares about the performance of her students and encourages them to go the extra mile in assignments. I learned a lot in her class.

Truly a wonderful professor. She is tough but is fair. People who are posting saying that she is unhelpful probably didn't listen to her the first time. She doesn't like repeating herself, but if you have a legitimate question that you have made an effort to solve yourself, she is more than willing to help. Best professor I've ever had.

Peterman is a pretty good professor. Some students can find her to be a bit cold at first, but she's very helpful in her office hours and is easy to talk to after a little while. Grades homework hard, but labs pretty easy so it balances out. Come to class though, and be on time. You should enjoy.

Professor Peterman is an excellent professor as she really cares about the students and wants to get to know everyone. The class was fun but also a lot of work. I learned so much from this class in just one small semester. This professor really encouraged hard work and always to do your best.

Really great professor. Maybe makes it a little hard but wants students to do well and is always willing to help.

Weekly quizzes. Long (but few) homework assignments. Labs can be hard to finish in time. That said, Peterman helped me a lot in class, always answering my questions well and quickly. She's a very engaging teacher, and tries to get to know the students personally. I learned a ton from lecture and labs. Seems tough at first, but she's a great prof.

You have to go to this class every time unless you will be super lost. Take notes in class. Quizzes every Friday. Not hard unless you dont go. Shes a great teacher and makes the class super interesting.
