Seriously, don't take her.CS1100 2015-04-20 08:52:18 +0000 UTC
Awful professor. She's awful at explaining things and her lectures are painful to sit through. Take this class with someone else if you can.CS2510 2014-11-18 11:07:08 +0000 UTC
very bad, not a good professor at all.CS210 2013-12-16 15:56:32 +0000 UTC
Not a good class. Terribly taught. Might as well have taken fundies twice in a row.CS3500 2013-11-22 14:39:43 +0000 UTC
If you learn best by following tiny and messy chalkboard handwriting, then this is the course for you! If you love to see your teacher make mistakes and forget where she's going with a point, then Viera's your girl! If you like getting lost and confused (and dazed, for that matter) between scribbles and banter, then by all means, take this classCS213 2009-10-07 02:33:58 +0000 UTC
This professor is something elseCSU213 2009-02-16 20:14:09 +0000 UTC
She herself isnt that bad.. shes not mean or anything. She just doenst know how to do the stuff she is teaching.. so no one learns anything from her. Most people I know had to get a tutor in order to pass the class... but I hear the other CSU101 teachers are just as bad.. good luckCSU101 2008-11-13 20:41:20 +0000 UTC
I learned more in the one class that Prof. Aslem (great guy, take any class with him that you can) subbed for than I did all the other classes with her teaching. She's the reason I switched. AVOID AT ALL COSTSCSU390 2007-12-23 02:12:30 +0000 UTC
I don't get what everybody is hung up over. She isn't bad. Agreed that she could be a little clearer at times.CSU211 2007-03-27 19:45:41 +0000 UTC
Had all freshman year. Actually considered dropping CS and end of first year because I felt that I had learned nothing. She's the worse scatter-brain I've ever seen and can't teach.COM11XX 2006-11-15 11:38:07 +0000 UTC
I remember her falling asleep in a lecture one time.CCSDB1 2006-05-31 17:22:49 +0000 UTC
She is the reason i'm not a computer science student anymore. Worst class I've ever had. Very disorganized. Hard to understand.COM1100 2005-09-13 23:04:27 +0000 UTC
The worst professor I've ever had. Makes so many mistakes that at times she told us to forget everyhting she did for an entire lecture.She is the most disrespectful and disguisting person you will ever meet.Teaches material needed for the hw the day before and the hw is usually 30-40 pages of code, doesn't keep up with online documents,unprepared..JAVA 2005-08-23 22:37:58 +0000 UTC
Shes terrible. Shes very unorganized and doesnt backup what she says. She doesnt post lecture notes until about a week after. When she says files are availabe, theyre really not. She needs to have stuff done beforehand, like Felleisen. Shes correcting updates to the hw the night before. Awful.CSU213JAVA 2005-03-15 14:58:27 +0000 UTC
