very helpful office hours, really niceCS1800 2026-02-05 04:32:20 +0000 UTC
Had a great time in this class! She's a great professor, and teaches in ways that makes it easier to learn the material.CS3000 2025-06-29 20:52:55 +0000 UTC
Dr.Strange is the best!DS2500 2025-06-19 03:29:25 +0000 UTC
Clear lectures and organized class overall.DS2000 2025-01-14 19:32:34 +0000 UTC
Professor Strange is SUPER kind and accommodating. They understand how difficult school in a pandemic can be and tries to work with students to help them succeed as well as take care of themselves. They're always available for extra support and if you take discretes I recommend using office hours but more so the tutoring services for this class.CS1802 2020-12-19 21:11:03 +0000 UTC
GreatCS5001 2020-02-16 03:55:05 +0000 UTC
Very knowledgeable and friendly prof, generous grading policies, lectures are good but I was able to skip them and do minimal self studyingCS1800 2026-01-24 00:56:07 +0000 UTC
Dr.Strange is the best. Makes all topics easy to understand and digestible. She grades on tests very forgivingly, alongside super clear expectations for everything. Made algorithms awesome, easy, and memorable!CS3000 2025-06-18 23:41:14 +0000 UTC
I like Professor Strange, but I found it difficult to retain information from her lectures, even with taking notes. Homeworks are always much more complex than what's covered in lecture, and office hours weren't helpful (TA OH's are great!). Just go to lecture and get homeworks done on time and you'll be fine!DS2500 2025-04-24 23:39:38 +0000 UTC
amazing teacherDS2000 2025-01-14 19:32:07 +0000 UTC
Amazing professor for 1800, and her lectures were very useful. She is very lenient with homework and quizzes, so that helped a lot. Homework was a little hard, but the quizzes were very easy. Getting an A wasn't too hard. Definitely take her for 1800.CS1800 2026-01-09 19:39:35 +0000 UTC
Dr. Strange is my savior. Would not do this well in algorithms if not for her. Shout out to her extra credit exam question and homework redo. GoatCS3000 2025-06-17 18:58:11 +0000 UTC
GILLS - God i love laney strangeDS2500 2024-06-20 04:00:19 +0000 UTC
Doesn't even answer any questions properly, you can't tell if you're doing something right or wrong and then that means you can fail your assignment. 6 HWs, 2 tests. Class isn't designed for introductory level or those that aren't DS majors. Good luck if you decide to take her...DS2000 2024-12-24 05:09:14 +0000 UTC
She's AMAZING! Accessible, eager to help AND know you personally. Lectures are well-organized, entertaining, useful, with 10min dedicated to reminders plus anonymous questions. BUT: homework is HARD (45% of grade) while quizzes are miles easier. Office hours/recitations are basically mandatory for homework success. Difficult class but worthwhile!CS1800 2026-01-02 04:39:44 +0000 UTC
