Great teacher! Easy class... Easy to get Bs or As if you attend regularly.

Great teacher. Many interesting assignments and quizzes. She is helpful most of the times but sometimes hard to understand. If you attend class regularly then you will ace it.

Sherry was very knowledgeable and you can tell that she was really concerned about our learning, she wrote segment of code, key points and drew diagrams on white board the whole lectures. She also offered a lot of external support and help. Take her for any programming language course and you won’t regret.

I truely enjoyed the experience, Dr. Feng offered much work with real world application. She and her TAs were extremely helpful with any questions or concerns I had. Although Dr. Feng was strict, she graded fairly yet still strictly.

CSE180 is an incredibly easy online class to get your CS req out of the way. It started out vaguely hard with the Excel training, but then my god did it get easy. Quizzes each week from the textbook, but they're a breeze, and the online training is a guaranteed grade boost. Her lectures are not mandatory, but they were fun to go to. You'll see ;)

The course was fairly easy if you apply yourself. However, some of the instructions were unclear. She was a little hard to understand.

This course was not time intensive. It's a great course to take if you have a hard class that you need to focus on.

I really enjoyed this class this semester. Computers are not my thing but when I was struggling Dr. Feng was there to help. I really liked the projects although some were a bit time consuming! Overall, I am glad to have learned a lot of new things.

Awesome course with helpful teacher. I liked it and will recommend.

I took this course in summer, overall pretty good class and would recommend for someone who needs computer credits or is interested in this field. Summer section was fast-paced, six weeks only. Ms. Feng is a good teacher and was always there when I needed help.

This class was easy and I am very satisfied. Although it was a bit confusing at the beginning because my computer wouldn't work with the software used. Despite this, Mrs. Feng was patient to help and aiding with my technical difficulties. Highly recommend!

Dr. Feng was very kind and helpful. However, she had quite a thick accent and didn't always understand students' questions. She was very friendly and personally turned in a few of my homework assignments for me because the grading server was incorrect. Quizzes are extra credit which make it easy to get an A if you do okay on the tests.

We were allowed to practice the things we learned to real application in our programming assignments. Professor Feng is fair and always tries her best to help students.

There are a variety of quizzes which are relatively easy. There are also about three assignments which are a little tricky, but if you watch her videos, they help. Since she is foreign, it is hard to understand her instructions. I wish the grading on assignments was more consistent. Overall, a pretty easy class

Overall a very informative and useful class! Mrs. Feng was very helpful and her assignments were interesting.

Easy course with helpful teacher. Very good for those who need computer credits or are interested in this field.

She is very helpful and gives a lot of extra credit. However, she has a thick accent and it is hard to understand her. Gives a lot of quizzes and assignments. Quizzes are easy, assignments not really.

One of the easiest classes I've taken. Grade based on a few simple assignments, timed quizzes, and a final (you can even find the question answers by googling them). Definitely take if you need a CS credit and have other time consuming classes, but don't really want to learn anything sophisticated.

The workbook assignments (learning to use Excel and Word) are incredibly easy. The class itself was not difficult at all. She explains all of the assignments step by step, and she gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit. The entire course and grading is outlined from the very beginning.

Prof. Feng is a kind and caring teacher. She's very understanding, and is always willing to help. Her lectures can be a little dry. She drops your lowest test score (out of 4, including the final), and will drop your lowest assignment. DO THE ASSIGNMENTS!

I had some minor programming experience which made this class a breeze. For an introduction course to Java, Mrs. Feng made the concepts clear and easy to understand. Strongly recommended!

Mrs. Feng is a great teacher with challenging assignments that really helped me learn the material better. Pretty fair grader as well. She has a slight accent but I can understand her completely fine. If you need help visit her at her office. She is really friendly and willing to help!

Awesome teacher! The tests are easy if you attend class and you get to drop your lowest score. She has a bit of an accent but is still understandable and very helpful. I would highly recommend this class.

Best object oriented programming class ever! Dr. Feng is clear with instructions and helpful and caring. Tests are a bit on the trickier side but the assignments and quizzes really help you understand the concepts throughly. I would highly recommend this class.

Dr Feng was overall a good instructor. Every once in awhile she would not know how to express herself (even though it was always clear what she was getting at). Writes class notes on an overhead; usually clear, but sometimes disorganized. Homework was interesting, quizzes were easy. A few multiple choice questions on the tests were tricky.

I'm not a huge fan of her lecturing style because she sometimes dives into explainingdemonstrating things that aren't really necessary to go over in class, but I guess those explanations might be helpful for some of the students who are less experienced. In other aspects, I'd say she is a very good prof. Class is pretty easy.

Not much to say other than its a programming class. Prof Feng is a solid teachers, she gives you what you need to do well on the tests and finish the programming assignments. I am not sure how good the other 205 Profs are, but I definitely recommend Dr. Feng.

A solid teacher! As long as you put in effort and understand the concepts you will be able to do well on the quizzes and finish the programming assignments. She's very helpful, as are her TAs. Make sure to take advantage of the office hours when you need help! Would highly recommend.

Her accent is rather thick, but you'll get used to it after a while. The lectures are intriguing and educational and she doesn't mine answering your questions. The assignments are moderately difficult, but as long as you attend class and understand the material, you'll be fine. The tests are easier than the assignments, so problem there.

Tests are easy if you go to class and do the assignments. Start the assignments early and go to her office hours if you get stuck on them. She drops the lowest test score which is a plus. Feng's a good professor. She's very helpful and nice if you seek her help. I would definitely recommend taking her for 205.

The material is decently challenging, but passing the class isn't hard. If you have a good work ethic, you'll learn good intro Java skills. Feng is a really good explainer, very clear about expectations about assignments and tests, and gives out a lot of extra credit. The lowest test grade is dropped, which is nice!

This class was layed out very well. It has been the best online class I have ever taken. Everything was always organized, and what was expected of the students was very clear. The assignments and dates were very fair. I have learned so much in this class and I am very glad that I was able to be a part of it.

I took Object-Oriented Program & Data (CSE 205) with Feng and received a final grade of 99.93 in the class. Having never learned Java before coming to ASU, this class was extremely helpful in teaching me the basics of computer coding. Feng was a very generous grader and helped outside of class if you needed it. Go to class and you will earn the A+.

The professor is very thorough, she presented the materials in a logical order that is easy to follow. MyProgrammingLab, Assignments,labs were consistent and covered material well. Pop quizzes were worth extra points! Overall a very good course, recommended.

As a person who isn't very computer literate this class seemed daunting at 1st but as long as you do the reading and take your time on the assignments you will be ok. I learned some things that will help me so it was worth it. She offers 3 extra credit quizzes to help out. Start the projects a few days early. Teacher/TA will respond to emails.

This class was very straightforward. Quizzes are open book and it is easy to find answers. Some of the computer programming is slightly challenging but there are 3 extra credit quizzes with 3 tries on each one. I was online and it was really easy to know when everything was due since it was Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week.

Professor Feng cares about her students and wants us to understand the material. The homework can be hard, so start early and get help from the tutoring center if needed.

Great instructor for her first time teaching the class. Expect homework but nothing crazy, start early and go to tutoring and you will do fine. Again, go to tutoring if you struggle here because this is a foundational class

Dr. Feng has always done her best to explain things clearly. This was her first time teaching this specific course, but I've taken her before as well and she's always very accessible and open to questions. She usually drops at least one homework, all of her quizzes are basically extra credit, and she allows cheat sheets for tests.

Interesting course that covers a lot of material in *nix system, C and C++. Dr. Feng is a very good instructor, explained everything very clear and simple. Lecture notes and lots of sample codes were provided, the seven homework assignmenrs are straightforward, projects are a little harder, quizzes are extra credit. Recommended!

I had not been familiar with any programming languages before. Feng was a very good professor, she would write codes during lectures and explained everything clearly. I also like that the labs and assignments were a large part of the grade and that it was not just test scores.

Overall good course and instructor! Dr. Feng is very student oriented and always willing to help. The eTextbook was almost unnecessary if you paid attention during lectures, she also posted hand written lecture notes online. Study sample codes carefully since they are great reference when doing the assignments and labs.

She drops the lowest HW, lab, quizzes, and test! Easy A+. In my opinion, reading the textbook before class, then using class time to focus on reinforcing the material is the best way to learn, that's why I listed the textbook as mandatory. She enforces attendance with the quizzes (take-home). You have to be there pick it up and turn it in.

very good professor, the only problem is her language . quizzes are easy if you know the materials and you good in making friends at class

Speaking as someone that is terrible at programming, this teacher made the process a lot easier. She gives great example codes and is dedicated to helping students learn. Four tests with lowest one dropped so you can skip the final if you want. There are random quizzes in class that count for a decent amount of your grade so you need to go to class

She graded the class out of 105% which made it pretty easy to get an A. Going to class and taking notes was enough to get a decent grade on each exam. She allowed a cheat sheet, and there was no coding on the exams. The projects were fair, some were difficult but the textbook helps. I felt that the class was taught at a lower level than expected.

There are 4 exams including final, and she drops one. She has a prominent accent and knows it, so she writes the notes/what she's saying as she lectures. If you didn't understand what she said, you can read it. Her writing also outlines the key notes well. Overall an easy class. She has quizzes to promote attendance.

Tough class, but Professor Feng helped make the subject matter very understandable! Her lectures and course materials are very clear. In total we had 8 recitations, 10 quizzes, and 4 exams and she dropped one of the lowest of them. The programming assignments were very interesting and gave us a chance to implement algorithms we learned in class.

Pretty straightforward class. Just go to lecture take notes and do decent on exams and you should be fine. I like that Prof. Feng's made me become familiar with Linux.

Class is pretty easy. Show up, take good notes, do assignments/labs, study for the exam, easy A. She drops lowest exam so if you do well in the first three, you don't even have to show up to the final exam

Highly recommend this class! Pretty straightforward, guidelines are clear, and Dr. Feng is always available to help in office hours. A big plus is that she drops your lowest exam! Only downside is that there are occasional quizzes for attendance points.

Read the textbook, pay attention in class, and turn in the take home attendance quizzes and this is an easy A!!! Also, she's pretty nice and helpful at office hours.

I learned so much in this class! The assignments are pretty interesting and are moderately difficult, but if you go to class and understand the material, you'll be set for a good grade. Also the tests are even easier than the assignments and Dr. Feng is pretty helpful at office hours too.

Great professor, very clear and has notes literally everywhere on BB. Definitely cares. Class itself is easiest I had this semester, basically taught Java with C++ syntax. Just pay attention if u don't know anything and you'll be fine. If ur already familiar with basic programming, class is basically study hall.

Best teacher that I have ever received and this is my first semester of college, lectures are very thorough and assignments are easy enough to complete as long as you look at the sample codes she provides. Drops lowest test grade and as long as you show up you get an additional 5% tacked onto your grade at the end of the semester. Great teacher.

She's difficult to understand at time, but she's a good teacher. For 310, the first 2 weeks are harder then the whole course. She always says to read the textbook and I only needed to reference it twice. Depending on how good of notes you take, you won't need it. Drops an 1 exam, I didn't need to take final.

Best CSE310 Teacher. She's awesome. I have taken two classes with her, CSE 110 and CSE 310. I don't know why people dis her so much. She should teach 400 level classes as well. I wish I had her for Senior Year CSE classes too.

I really enjoyed Fengs teaching style for this course. Everything she did she wrote on the board which keeps your attention and helps you remember stuff later. She posts a bunch of example code online which helps a lot with the programming assignments. Tests werent too bad, if you felt good about the material before the exam.

I think she is an awesome instructor. Very thorough. I found the book to be very helpful. She pulls examples from it, which makes it easy to clarify something from your notes. There are a lot of assignments. She gives you plenty of time in the beginning but towards the end, it can get overwhelming. Her exams are not bad. She drops the lowest exam.

We had 12 assignments which was an intimidating amount, but going to office hours and the tutoring center really helped. Her sample codes and examples are very useful and clear. She gives quizzes on paper to keep you attending class, and they aren't hard. Exams were similar to past semesters, so try and find someone who has taken her before.

Highly recommend Dr. Feng! Straightforward and fuss-free. She's pretty helpful during office hours too. Just put in effort and you'll do fine.

I had little to no coding experience before and found her to be a good professor with a pretty straightforward class. The lectures were useful in explaining concepts and I liked that she provided sample code for the programs. She also scheduled times outside of her office hours and was pretty willing to help. Overall pretty solid.

This was my firt coding class. Dr. Feng made everything very clear cut and simple. She used examples of code written during the lectures to reinforce what we were learning. Labs are interesting and fun at times and easy to follow, homeworks were applicable and useful.

This class was easy, fun and informative! I always thought I knew a decent amount about computers and certain programs in general but was shocked with how much interesting information I learned that I'll take with me to future educational and professional opportunities. A few projects, quizzes, hw assignments a week. Not bad or overwhelming.

Highly recommend this course! Workload was decent with a few projects and assignments a week but I learned a lot. For this course, the more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it so just work hard and you'll do well.

This was the 1st class where I really had to put in work and learned how to study. Dr. Feng is more than gracious with grading, and all grading is clear. If you put in work, you WILL get a C minimum. Go to her office hours as well she's really nice. Drops lowest exam, homework, and all quizzes are extra.

accent but bearable. good lecturer basically simplifies the TEXTBOOK for u. coding hw is very doable but start early, worth a good chunk of grade. takehome/group quizzes that show up again on exams. exams she allows cheatsheets, write down all her notes and examples + normal studying no trick questions. recitation optional. easy A/B if you can code

I learned a lot of new programming concepts through this course, so I'd highly recommend it if you're serious about coding or even if you want to just want to touch on the fundamentals. The assignments were well thought out and challenging enough without being too difficult and there was a heavy focus on problem solving.

Great professor and straightforward class. It was pretty much exactly as expected. Put in effort and you will no doubt do well.

Very good professor, if you want to learn and try to learn, just choose her, I especially like her lecture note, even you can't understand in the lecture just study on the note you can still do better. Exam have totally 4 times and the lowest grad will be drop, and those question are easy if you review all the note and quiz.

I took Feng in Spring 2019 and she drops the lowest quiz and test score. The other reviews say that her accent makes the class hard, so don't take this class if you can't understand a Chinese accent but she is always willing to repeat something if you don't understand her and she will explain something she wrote if you can't read her handwriting.

Professor Feng is awesome. She will help you try to understand the material when you ask for help, and shes accessible via. her office hours. She responds quickly and gives good, simple feedback. She really tries to help students out by giving exercises in class to help you retain the information. Attendance doesnt matter, but go. One of the best

Prfessor Feng is such a good teacher. Whenever I have a question, she is always there to answer them. The notes provided during class are very detailed and neat, and the assignments are all very clearly stated in their instructions. The extra credits are especially nice.

I really like how the teacher takes notes while she is lecturing us, the notes help a lot in later quizzes and tests. The material is also very interesting, and I enjoyed learning it a lot. The teacher is also very attentive and always there to answer any questions. Loved the class.

Intro to Theory CS is tough and abstract, but Feng will work hard to help you understand it though. Homework, quizzes, and exams are fair. Grading in this class is bad though; go to OH and argue back points, you might not have missed anything. Overall, READ THE BOOK, go to her OH to help with concepts, and start the homework early.

Very knowledgable, difficult to understand at times but not nearly as bad as some people say. Homework is challenging but its programming, like its already hard. As long as you start homework early and not copy, everything else comes extremely easily. If you understand the homework by doing it, the tests and quizzes should be not a worry at all.

Professor Feng is a really solid pick for this class. She knows her stuff well and if you need clarification, hit up her office hours. MAKE SURE TO DO THE ASSIGNMENTS EARLY! She's really chill and SUPER lenient when it comes to grading. She drops an exam, recitation, and an assignment. Plus the quizzes are bonus points so it's really hard to fail.

Her lectures are basically useless, but the sample codes she gave to students to complete the assignment are very useful(and important). If you want to get an A, simply completing the homework is not enough, you also need to do code exercises outside the class. In short, her CSE205 is worth Give it a try.

Pretty good professor. Clear examples and good coverage in lectures. Lots of extra credit in the form of quizzes. Study guides aren't great, but if you go to class you'll know everything that will be on the test. Do and study quizzes and you'll easily pass with an A. Delegates a lot to TAs but the TAs are good, and with 6 100p classes, I see why.

Professor Feng is a solid choice for this class. She has a ton of sample codes to help you do the assignments. Her lectures are pretty informative because sometimes what she does in lectures show up on the extra credit quizzes. The TAs for this class are always willing to help students who are stuck. Also, she drops the lowest test which is nice.

She's a good professor. Data structures can be bit tough but I think she does a pretty good way of explaining concepts. Her grading is very generous. 4 tests, lowest one dropped, 8 programming assignments, lowest dropped. I think she was very fair in a pretty difficult class.

She really knows her stuff, and I like how she explains stuff to us like we're not at her level yet (cuz we're not!). She also posts her recorded lectures and notes online, and drops a whole exam and assignment, and her short weekly quizzes are like mandatory extra credit. People say she's tough, but actually her assignments are allgood if u study.

This class was manageable. I don't have a CS background so some assignments were tougher than others, but overall I learned a lot. Obviously don't cheat and go to office hours if you need help and you should be fine.

The class is very well put together and the plan is clear from the start. All resources are available for you to learn. There are 12 assignments, fun, rewarding but also challenging.

The course was very structured and she had a plan from the beginning. The lectures were helpful and accessible after hours . Notes are available too. The programming homework helped me learn a lot. I definitely enjoyed this class very much.

One of my favorite courses this semester! Interesting assignments and what you learn is really helpful for technical interviews. Was a bit worried about grading at some point, but all the extra credit throughout the course is very substantial and you'll breeze by as long as you put in the effort.

Very good instructor. What she talks about in lecture is EXACTLY what is presented in the textbook, so if you don't understand something, then you can easily look it up and read more. Offered plenty recitation/ homework to practice and refine skills before a test. Very easy and lenient grading system, but I still learned a lot.

Theory is a tough course but as long as you work hard READ THE BOOK AND ATTEND LECTURE, Feng makes this class pretty straight forward. Her tests are fair, she will not surprise you with anything she did not teach. She does give lots of homework, but it will only help you get lots of practice and the homework will reflect questions asked on tests

I took this professor Spring 2021. This is my second class with her and enjoyed it. Very clear on what is expected of you, lets you have a cheat sheet for tests. I really enjoyed her as a teacher.

I really enjoyed Feng's class. It was tough, but not overly so. She's great at explaining things and will help you outside of class if you need it. But in her words, "READ TEXTBOOK!" Missing class and not reading at least the notes will put you at a significant disadvantage. Everything in the notes and book is on exams and homework.

Quizzes were extra credit, but you had to attend class to get the access code. Tests & quizzes were fair. Homework was a bit difficult, but they reinforced what you needed to know. Recitation work was useful as well. Lectures were good, but the Sipser textbook is unbeatable.

Professor is fine, didn't interact much personally but saw she was very active in discussion boards. The assignments in this class are weighted down to between 2 to 10 points each and it's hard to keep track of your current letter grade. Overall not a bad class/professor combination. Just stay on top of everything and it should be an easy A

Her lectures are heavy, but very clear - get ready to take notes. She writes everything up on the board and doesn't use pre-made slides, though, so taking notes down is completely doable. Feng makes all the course content very clear and logical. if you can follow algorithms, you'll do just fine in this class.

Lectures were pretty solid, not mandatory but I don't know how else you are going to learn without them unless you already know Java going into the class. Lectures are recorded so you can watch them later which is super nice. The best part was the Discord server and the TA's, super useful for the assignments and labs.

Solid professor, pretty straightforward class. Pay attention to lectures and do the hw and you'll be fine. Large class, so there isn't much interaction with her, but for an intro coding class it really isn't needed. Tests are 60% of the grade. Quizzes partially count as extra credit, and are easy and short.

Professor Feng did a great job of teaching theoretical computer science. Her lectures didn't drag as much as some other classes can and she did her best at explaining topics. Some topics, however, were very confusing during lecture so it'd be a good idea to study and read the textbook beforehand. Overall, I give her a 8-9/10!

I never attended lectures but the material on Canvas is enough to get by. It's possible to get up to a 105% because quizzes give a lot of extra credit. Definitely a solid choice.

If I'm being completely honest, I never attended this class but ended up getting an A+. This class is out of 105% which makes sense on how I got an A+. You can take this class, but I don't know if you learn because I never attended class.

Great professor but hard to understand at times because of her accent. She goes at a fast pace but there are resources available outside of class to help. It's hard to learn if you don't attend lectures unless you already know Java. The discord server and TAs are very helpful.

The homework is surely difficult at times but the teaching is so good that you can do it with time. The lectures are very helpful, do take full advantage of recorded lectures. Exams are easy if you study everything. 5% extra credit.

Good Professor, with great policies. She drops the lowest exam and assignment, but the downside is there are no make-ups. if you take her course be sure to show up to the exams and turn in your work on time.

I totally recommend her for CSE110. Attendance is not mandatory, but I think her lectures give great examples of sufficient code. Pay attention in class, and you'll be good. She gives extra points for random stuff. You don't have to be perfect to get an A with her! I thought her labs and assignments were fun. You only have to take 3/4 of the tests!

If you go to all the lectures and take good notes, the class is not difficult. She provides lots of psuedocode and examples in her lectures that make the content easy to understand. While the textbook is not required she also includes page references for every topic so that if you are still confused after the lecture you can easily find more info

This professor was amazing. All other people hating on her are just people who didn't study and are salty. Feng is like the lebron of the CS department.

Feng is arguably the best professor for this subject due to her great pacing + helpful examples relevant to exams Just be careful if your class average is pretty high. She might try to pull a fast one in an exam to drop the class average For example, she randomly included a 26% question from a topic covered 2 exams ago in a non-cumulative exam

She is the gem of a professor. She knows the stuff and explains very well. Just complete all homework and you will do good in the class. Her lectures are very effective and encourage students to learn.

She is best among the available options. Attend lectures and you will always learn something. Exams are very easy. Do not listen to people ranting about her. Those are the people who do not put their efforts in the course and then just cuss the professor for hard exams and assignment.

She got 4.1 rating and you are still thinking, just enroll. She is best for 310. Don't care about these negative comments and haters. Easy assignments, Easy recitations, Easy quizzes and Easy Exams. Exams are just mix of recitation and quizzes so you do not need to worry. It is an easy A+ class.

Dr. Feng really seems to care about the students. She does a great job explaining difficult material. The programming assignments are lots of fun and very relevant to the course material. Grading is very fair and exams are not difficult. One of my favorite teachers.

Professor Feng is a fantastic teacher for CSE310. The TA's for my class were also excellent. I could say more, but everyone knows how great she is, so I'll stop here. In regards to the beginning of the class, I would suggest reading the Foundations section of the textbook if you want to make sure you will understand the material.

After taking Feng for both 205 and 310, I have grown to respect her. While her courses are hard, she is very knowledgeable and lectures can be dry due to the amount of information she packs into them but are very helpful. Tests and quizzes are easy but assignments can take some time so start early. Ignore hate reviews as they just did not study.

Only class I ever took where I received 100% on all programming assignments and still did not get an A+ grade in the class. Lecture content is hit or miss, little additional commentary. The quizzes and tests broke my grade, get ready to be tested on certain things that had little to no emphasis within her lecture. Though she is a good professor.

She is pretty good at explaining things. She even refers her notes to the book pretty well and explains the algorithm to the very depth. All hate about her is because of people not putting enough effort and blaming TAs and her. You need to put effort to get success in the course. Just do assignments early to have enough time to prepare for exams.

I just wonder how a group of people is writing just random things about Professor Feng. In my opinion, she was always fair with grading, coursework etc. She always helped me whenever I visited her office hours and TAs were helpful too in office hours. By far, they deserve more respect. Professor Feng makes a good base for the future classes.

Very straightforward. Lecture videos are posted and there is a zoom link for class but she isn't the best at technology. Gives quiz passwords in class to check attendance, and the quizzes are extra credit. Drops the lowest assignment, quiz, and test. Assignments are hard but still try and you can get half points which is very helpful.

Hand written notes, recitation and quiz solution were all posted online. Assignments were challenging in a good way, tests are heavily weighted but fair. I didn't have a chance to enroll into her CSE355 this fall and is still waiting for a spot in her class. She's a good professor, don't be misled by some of the reviews here.

Very cautious about plagarism/cheating. Overall, excellent lecturer and codes in class with you. Her teaching style is really awesome given the nature of coding is learning by doing. Some of the assignments are rough, but she does drop the lowest one as well as the lowest test score. Take notes in class and you'll be set. TAs are generally helpful.

Solid professor for DS&A, everything that she taught was on the exams and homework was easy enough. Dynamic Programming could have took more time but that is what textbook is for I guess. She was pretty fair about grading and can't go wrong, taking her again for CSE 355. Gave some extra-credit quizzes, curves, and drops the lowest exam if you need

Pearson was the problem with this class. I have a mac and Peason only provided directions for HP. Very frustrating.

Great choice for 310. Very fair with exams and assignments, but will not help with code at office hours. Most (if not all) of the course content can be found in the textbook, but she pulls test questions straight from lecture notes. Recitation session attendance isn't mandatory, and quizzes are mostly extra credit. Drops lowest test and recitation

A very well-run class. Although she has a thick accent, she teaches well. The amount of homework is a lot, but not exactly an insane amount. Some questions on the tests can be a little unfair given what she covered. Overall, the best option for 355 at ASU at the moment.

The material in this class is horrifying and confusing but Feng does an amazing job teaching it. She makes everything pretty understandable in her lectures. Her exam questions are easier than her homework so if you can do her homework you will do well on her exams. Quizzes are extra credit as well. I definitely recommend her for this class

Pretty unfun class, but Feng tries her best to make it very accessible. She's probably the only professor who allows cheatsheets for this subject which is a godsend. Coursework is a bit loaded, but you will be grateful for the practice as it is VERY relevant to her exams. Feng is not as keen in rewarding the 1% as she is in rewarding hard work.

Feng did an extremely good job of making this course digestible. Her exams are very clear as far as content and she allows a cheat sheet as well. She does have plenty of homework assignments and she uses quizzes as attendance checks and extra credit. Would HIGHLY recommend taking her for 355.

Dr. Feng is chill for 355. She makes the class pretty straightforward since all test content is pulled from your recitations, quizzes, and homework questions - put content from here on your cheat sheets. Her TAs aren't the best, and you may have to constantly protest grades. Overall, decent class and a safe option for both 310 and 355.

Very fair professor and class. Starter code is given for the assignments, you're basically just implementing the given pseudocode. Exams were not hard. Exactly like in class examples with slight changes. Allowed a 1 page cheat sheet. Total grade is 105%. First couple weeks were very confusing, it gets easier from there.

355 is not an easy class, but Feng is good. Pay attention to the lectures, do the homework (there is a reasonable amount), and study.

A lot of work! 3 in-person exams, and 6 assignments, the content was nice, and a lot of questions were from the textbook. The recitation was helpful. Attendance Quiz is EC.

4 exams (final is optional), assignments were kinda heavy, recitations questions were from textbook and helpful for exam. overall, above avg course.

Pretty solid class overall, little trouble following the material through her lectures. Go to class if you want to pass, she moves through content very quickly. If you have trouble understanding accents (I didn't but some complain) she has a decently one but she still communicates fine. Not a problem taking her, but she is harsh; could be better.

Good lecturer with assignments and recitations that are great for understanding the material better. The professor does take unusual pride in finding students who committed academic dishonesty, and can be quite harsh at times. Despite this, she is generally quite approachable during office hours.

Nicest person you'll ever meet. Cares about you and is very understanding of whatever situation you're going through. M/W were my favorite days because I got to see her never ending radiant smile. She's always cracking jokes and making the class laugh. Truly makes you want to be a better person. 10/10 recommend.

Solid class with clear grading, enjoyable assignments, and straightforward tests. She drops a test which is nice especially if you do not want to take the final. Nothing crazy, just a well-structured class.

Professor Feng is a very tough and demanding person when it comes to learning the content. She is very short-tempered sometimes, but is actually very caring towards her students and wants them to learn. Make sure to show up for extra-cred quizzes and know the content well enough for tests.

Surprised by the many negative reviews. In my experience Feng was a pretty decent prof with fair grading just steer clear of plagiarism and you should be fine. Definitely a challenging class in terms of content tho so make sure to do the extra credit!

Professor has a very clear grading criteria has extra cred quizzes which are very helpful. Make sure you take advantage of office hours. She's pretty strict, but you'll definitely learn a lot.

This class is coding intensive (C++ with pointers) and needs a lot of work, but I felt like the classwork and exams were spread out evenly, so manageable. Exam weight is 65%, very large. Professor Feng taught using handwritten notes which helped me a lot.

Pretty fair professor in my opinion. You will get good grade if you put in the hard work. Tests' difficulties increased toward the end, and my recommendation is to do the assigned homework before taking the tests for her class, as this will significantly help your understanding of the materials!

Professor Feng is the most consistent professor at ASU - if you know how to do the homework/recitations, you know how to do well on the exams. 5 percent extra credit from attendance quizzes also increases the margin of error. Great professor, my first choice for any computer science class.

Theoretical computer science is some hairy stuff, and I'm glad that I chose Feng as my professor. The lecture content did need to be supplemented with the textbook for a complete understanding, but I found that the assignments and exams were relevant and consistent. The students and some of the TA's were supportive in the discord channel.

Dr. Feng is one of the "better" professors in CSE355. The exams themselves are weighted heavily but are easier than homework and recitation. The course is inherently difficult, but anyone can pass if they do the work and get help during office hours/recitation.

Dr. Feng is decent, which is better than most CS professors. She loves giving AIP violations though, so be extra careful on that. Overall, the class is a lot of work but if you put in the time she is great and her exams are very fair.

One of the better CS professors and you'll surely learn if you put in effort. Not exactly the most approachable or nice. Nice thing is she drops a test so you can totally skip the final if you do well enough.

Exams are 65% of your grade,assignments are another 24%,1 exam of 4 is dropped. Harsh teacher, do not dare cheat in her class, would be actual nightmare fuel. I like her as a teacher, she absolutely knows the material. If you are a hard worker I recommend her class, if you want a safer and easier option she is the furthest thing from it.

My only problem with this class was with the graders. The way each grader graded was different, so expectations were not very clear. One grader in particular was especially harsh on what they wanted which was a bit frustrating. I actually like Feng, she is a bit rude at times but its kind of funny. Just go to lecture, take notes and organize time.

Great Professor, 85% of everything you need to know is in her lectures rest in textbook ngl don't bother with the TAs they're brain dead, make sure to double check their grading they mark correct things wrong often. Tests 1, 2, & 4 are super easy but test 3 is hardest. Assignments are doable if you pay attention to lectures and do the recitations.

Best CS professor at ASU. Her tests are based off of prior homework problems so nothing comes as a surprise. She makes what should be one of the hardest CS classes very manageable. As long as you go to lectures and take decent notes you'll do fine.

I took her for both CSE310 and CSE355, and I would 100% take her again. She actually teaches you everything you need to know in the lectures, and handwrites all of her notes (works great for my learning style). She explains everything clearly. Exams have no surprises and aren't terribly difficult. Just don't cheat and you'll have no issue.

Feng is very knowledgeable and her class is well structured. Though her lectures are not mandatory, they should be attended and kept up with. Set aside lots of time for this class, as there is always something (difficult) due. The grading can be inconsistent and pedantic, so triple check your feedback. Tests are made unusually easy to compensate.

My favorite CS professor so far because everything you are tested/graded on she goes over in class. There are no surprises in the tests or assignments. She's strict and the class requires work but it's extremely structured with clear requirements and deadlines.

While she can be rude, Feng is an incredible professor. She hand writes notes during lectures which is very nice. Homeworks can be hard but the ta's are very helpful, tests are also very fair and are never harder than hw's or recitations. 310 is a very hard class but with Feng I found it to be more than doable. You definitely learn a ton too.

Feng is a no-nonsense professor but one of the best I've had at ASU. The material is tough, but she teaches it well. The homework is especially tough, but the exams are based on recitation questions, which are easier. There will never be a question on the exam that you haven't seen before.

She does not come to play! however her recitations assignments are extremely helpful! there are 4 test & 1 is dropped but if 1/3 is below 60 you automatically fail. Study homework, notes & recitations for test. She asks the class to ask question but gets mad when they do.GO TO office hours they are so helpful and key to passing good teacher tho

Love her, love her, love her!!! She sets up the entire course so that you are independent and can succeed on your own. I 100% recommend taking her class. DO the work, because she will not make any partial credit/retake exceptions, she is very firm with this rule. Otherwise, she is a great and fast replier.

If you go to class and do the all the assignments, you pass. Easier said than done... unless you are an amazing programmer, you need to spend time in office hours getting help on the C++ assignments. But once you do the assignments, its in your brain and youre good for the exams (no suprises)

She's very strict and harsh but I honestly really appreciate how she runs her class. It's very organized and structured and the handwritten notes we take in class are so much better than just reading from slides that other profs use. There are definitely easier profs but if you put in the time and effort, you'll get a lot more out of Feng's class.

Feng is a tough but fair professor. Lectures and recitations provide the key info, while assignments challenge you to apply it. Utilize tools like unstuckstudy AI along with the textbook to ace this demanding yet rewarding course.

Extremely clear grading structure. Lectures were filled with relevant info needed for HW/exams. Just be prepared to dedicate 10+ hours/week to this course as there is ALWAYS something due (no coding assignments tho). Comes off harsh in lecture but generally means well. I would take her if you're prepared to put in the work and learn.

I had Dr. Feng this spring for CSE310 and now for CSE355. A year ago I would've given her a 2/5 but she's a totally new person now I swear. She always knew the material really well, but she no longer fearmongers and seems happier in general. She's honest, fair, and actually teaches, which is something most computer science professors don't do.

Make sure you read ahead of time, ask questions ahead of time. I loved this course and instructor! Seems overwhelming in the beginning, but it's not hard at all! (Windows is better than Mac for this course).

really good teacher despite me failing the class but the the grader we had was satans spawn and i wish him the worst in all his future endeavors 👍

I used to hate cs until i took feng's class my beautiful goat needs a 5/5 she's the best professor in cs

Feng is amazing. I recommend her 310 and 355 courses. I have genuinely learned more about CS from these two courses than every other CS professor at ASU combined.

Her lectures were very useful, she writes all of the notes by hand in class and explains on the way, she's a little bit strict but I feel like her teaching style was easy to learn from. Recitation attendance is optional, just do the assignment beforehand. Tests were challenging, but nothing was unexpected, make a good cheat sheet.

I enjoyed taking this class. She incorporated an interactive textbook and a good website to learn and practice different coding concepts. I'm a hands-on learner, so this was a great fit for me. Would absolutely take another class from Professor Feng.

I think Feng is a fantastic professor and I have taken her twice (205/310). I was accused of an AIV that I did not commit and she took it up to the dean but it looks like I won't be able to fight it. I had one file that was 30 percent similar to someone else's and now I have to take the heat for it. For that, she lost some of my respect.

2nd time w/ Feng. The lectures and notes were super helpful and as long as you pay attention and do the homework you will be fine on tests. They were very reasonable and often simpler than the homework assignments. I felt prepared for all of them and it wasn't hard to get good grades on the assignments as long as you follow the lecture content.

Go. To. Class. This is an important topic to learn about. You will be lost looking at the notes unless you were there for class. I went to class every day until test 2 passed where I slacked and fumbled the bag on test 3 since I had no idea what was going on. Start asap on the HW but recitations are pretty easy to grind on the last day. Recommend.

You must get an average of 60%+ on the 3 exams to pass. Best way to do this is to go to class, take good notes, do the recitations and HW honestly. I averaged about 80% on the recitations/HW but averaged 90% on the exams. Exam questions are the basics so most of your HW is much more difficult. Just don't cheat the assignments and you'll be chillin.

She's honestly top 3 in all of the professors I've had in this college. She knows what she's talking about, she's very clear on what she expects, and she provides ample examples and resources to be successful. Make sure you go to each lecture and give yourself enough time to do assignments.

Took her for 310 & 355, while she can be rude at times I can confidently say she's the best CS prof I've had. She handwrites her notes which make lectures more engaging and they almost always fully prepare you for assignments/exams. Exams are very fair and are always the same difficulty as the recitations which is nice.

She is good at explaining things, and her recitations are extremely helpful; you get one cheat sheet on each exam, so make sure to write every recitation and all her notes there.

One of the best profs at ASU (for both 310 and 355). She knows her stuff and she definitely wants you to succeed and learn the content. Show up to class, take notes and do the homework/recitations. You will probably be fine. All the content is in the textbook too which is fire.

Feng is the GOAT. Her recitations and homework prepare you extremely well for the test and if you put in the work you will pass with an A.

This has been one of the classes where I feel I really learned everything. Some people might not like it, but I appreciate the handwritten lecture notes since it helped me follow along better than long slides. Test review was helpful and tests were reasonable. The class was paced perfectly and the homework really helped with understanding. 10/10

She makes the class difficult, but it makes you really have to learn. You get extra points from quizzes that you have to attend class for. The exams are tough but you get a cheat sheet. The assignments are annoying though because you have to get the output exactly right. You also get to drop a test which is nice. She also seems nice.

Not the easiest class, would recommend other professors if you want to coast, but there are extra credit quizzes are available and you end up learning a lot if you put in effort!

Challenging class but easily the best CS professor at ASU and I learned a ton. She's blunt/straightforward, but her handwritten notes make lectures engaging and do an excellent job preparing you for assignments and exams. The exams are very fair and align well with the difficulty of recitations.
