Student reviews

The professor does not genuinely teach the class as you are self-taught by zybooks. The professor also claims to try to make her class more difficult. All that is done is making the tests harder and grading homework on accuracy when the entire point of the homework is for learning as we do not learn anything as remotely difficult during lectures.ICS6D 2024-01-12 22:19:44 +0000 UTC
She dont know what she is teaching but all matters for me is the grade and she gives quite a good grade. So I liked her. But her teaching experience for me was bad.CSG113 2005-12-11 13:47:44 +0000 UTC
The WORST professor at Northeastern. Terrible teacher, does not explain concepts or answer questions.CSU900 2004-11-28 20:42:04 +0000 UTC
Way too much hw. But if you do understand the hw you'll ace the class. She has a hard time understanding student's questions. Very understanding. Always drops quiz and hw grades.CS900AUTO 2004-09-06 17:45:55 +0000 UTC
Avoid her like the plague!! Doesnt say what she is doing before starting and expects everyone to just know. She never finishes examples, and worst of all she will NOT allow you to finish asking your question before interupting you to answer!TOFCCRYP 2004-07-07 08:28:16 +0000 UTC
Not bad, definitely had worse. Course was easy, but CS courses are very easy for me. Avg amount of coursework.AUTOMATA 2004-06-21 11:16:42 +0000 UTC
