Good teacher, amazing person. Talks quietly, sit in the front. Won't be any problemsCS1800 2015-08-19 21:36:23 +0000 UTC
She is really nice and the material is pretty easy to understand. Plus, she has office hours every week and wants to help you AND there are TAs that want to help you too. Not hard to get an A in her class.CSU200 2008-11-17 11:55:33 +0000 UTC
Not a great teacher, she seems smart and might have been good years ago, but shes way past her prime. the class also jumps around from to many topics making it confusing at some points. Also the book she wrote for the class is useless. If you need help dont look in the book, send to the help email the TA's and the teacher are very quick replyingCS200 2008-01-04 01:31:18 +0000 UTC
She was always helpful if you asked - sometimes was hard to understand in class but again would always be there to helpCSU201 2007-11-07 20:24:59 +0000 UTC

I took a number of classes with Prof. Fell and I loved all of them. She is very knowledgeable, extremely helpful if you ask her questions and very understanding if you have difficult time with material or project deadlines.VARIOUS 2005-09-27 09:40:05 +0000 UTC

Very nice person, very helpful, very clear, very intelligent. Loved her classes. Would take any class with her again.COM1100 2004-11-11 21:34:50 +0000 UTC
I enjoyed the class and the mostly due to the teacher. I do recommend taking it with herGRAPHICS 2004-09-10 19:12:49 +0000 UTC
Boring lectures and she kinda drones on. She covers everything pretty well but sometimes I'm lost after the lecture. If you pay attention, you'll probably do fine but she's hard to listen to for a full class so most students play on laptopsphones.CS1800 2014-11-28 17:30:41 +0000 UTC
This website has a tendency to be way too critical of teachers. I came on here to look at a different upcoming teacher but i checked these comments to see what i was working with. If you can, take this class with Raj--he likes it more. But fell is not bad. so dont freak out. She spent four hours with another student and me going over homeworkCSU200 2008-11-14 11:47:01 +0000 UTC
