Comment:

She's late yes, but the material is easy -EASY- so who cares~ And one mark off for t//f don't guess you fools. Her coding was simple, I could do those things in highschool. She's rather nice, but quite stand-off-ish.

Comment:

Comes to class 5 minutes late, reads info off slides, does not understand material when approached, did not update course website, very unorganized. Fortunately, the course was easy as hell despite her lack of assistance.

sits on a chair and lectures while no one listens as we have no idea what she is talking about... she hands all the work off to her assistants and often sends them to teacher the lecture..

Comment:

Easy material (if you know a bit about computers) she just confuses it a lot. Pointless class to go to- starts 15 minutes late and her fat fingers press 3 keys on her laptop every time.

This course contains easy content, difficult assignments and even harder tests. Ive never seen such easy material translate into such a difficult course, bad teaching maybe?

Comment:

Has it in for us! i think she thinks undergrads think it's a bird course so she's pissed. Calendar says the course introduces programming 'concepts' but the whole course is C programming! tests on stuff that has no business being tested on at this level.

She's the worst teacher ever! Always late, way too many mistakes, and she herself couldn't pass this class. And there's no communication between anyone! Just try getting an answer to a question...

She couldn't teach Bill Gates how to turn on a monitor. On the bright side, this course could be used as a model case study for Teachers' College - "How Not to Teach 101."

Comment:

poor teacher in every aspect. she's late for class, she talks about facts/concepts that aren't on tests, she makes so many errors on the course notes, and her marking guide for assignments is ludicrous. she wants students to fail. great TAs though.

Comment:

This is the worst teacher. She only showed up for two lectures, her notes were skimpy and didn't help for the test. Her T.A's weren't any good either. Her tests were sooo hard
