The worst professor possible, she doesn't know what the course is. She asks you to do geography things in a coding class. She should understand a coding class doesn't require someone to go on google maps and analyze if the areas are vacant. Never take her class if you actually care about what you study.cs2000 2026-02-05 22:24:14 +0000 UTC
Prof was clearly not very knowledgeable, just read off slides and had difficulty answering questions. Homeworks weren't too bad, quizzes were easy if you just make sure you can do the practice quizzes. Attendance can't hurt but can help.CS2100 2026-01-24 00:46:06 +0000 UTC
just extremely boring. She'd have ppt presentations and the slides were just text copied from the course website. She also dragged out her sentences which made it really hard to pay attention to what she was saying.CS2510 2025-12-01 04:09:03 +0000 UTC
It was a good classCS2500 2025-11-26 13:42:48 +0000 UTC
Not a strong professor, it was just a super random class that made no sense. She would just code on the board and not teach anything. Would not recommend.CS5001 2025-04-11 01:01:49 +0000 UTC
Professor had a poor teaching style, boring lectures that would just repeat stuff of the slides. It wasn't even worth it to go to class. Stubborn on grading, very harsh criteria and would not hear you out for anything.2500 2025-04-11 01:00:14 +0000 UTC
I am a business student and I chose this class for the extra Excel knowledge. Though I received an A from this class, I had to study three times much harder than other classes I got an A. Totally leaned by myself, office hours were helpful. It's still possible to get an A even though you are not good at cs, but it will be super tough :(CS1100 2020-08-20 20:39:08 +0000 UTC
I feel like I learned a lot in this course. The assignments were interesting and there was even one about bias in RMP. Makes you think ...CS2100 2025-12-14 18:29:41 +0000 UTC
One of my favorite coursesCS2510 2025-11-19 19:52:17 +0000 UTC
Just came to say this was a great course. I was sorry to see that its goneCS2500 2025-11-24 19:02:02 +0000 UTC
Tough class but learned a ton.CS5001 2019-04-01 18:59:12 +0000 UTC
She does not teach anything in lectures2500 2023-11-28 20:33:54 +0000 UTC
She is such an amazing professor! she really cares about her students, she really inspired me to continue pursuing computer science.CS1100 2019-06-17 06:06:02 +0000 UTC
As some others have noted, Leena is definitely an over-hated professor. Her lectures are typically reasonable/understandable, but sometimes she'll take a moment to "explain" something in depth, and it might not be logical or easy to follow. Most of the problems in this class were due to the autograder--something that she has no control over.CS2100 2025-12-12 16:35:38 +0000 UTC
Loved the classCS2510 2025-10-29 14:52:00 +0000 UTC
