Comment:
Denise is an amazing prof that takes the time to carefully explain & answer any questions. She makes difficult material easy to understand. Her lectures may be boring but its the course material itself thats very dry. She is a very fair prof, but beware, her final is all multiple choice & its very tricky. Overall, still a great prof that cares.

Comment:
Extremely boring lectures with a teacher who is as audible as a mouse at a concert. Skipped the majority of her lectures as I found myself not being able to pay attention. It is possible to pass her course with the material she posts online but be warned that her writing isn't exactly the most legible. Alright professor at best.

Just a doll. This woman is a REAL prof. She teaches very well and her assignments and projects really get you to apply your knowledge. She makes you interested in what you're learning and actually makes you WANT to learn. The best Comp Sci teacher Ryerson has to offer. Hands down.

Comment:
For those hating on her, you will see a massive decline in competency of professors as you progress into your later years of CS at Ryerson. After taking all her classes, she really respects her students. Yes the assignments are difficult, but they are still doable compared to other classes. Not to mention she actually knows how to teach.

This professor does a great job at teaching material, unlike many other professors at this institution. But beware of her marking! She marks very heavily and it is tough to get a good grade. Nevertheless, she is quite high on my list as far as good professors go.

Comment:
Woit has a soft voice, so I highly recommend sitting near the first three rows. I've dropped by office hours and she's always willing to go over doubts and help out. Beware of the coding group proj, it has specific guidelines so make sure you start early!! I almost payed for this :S (almost). Make sure you know your DS&A inside out for tests.

Comment:
She's okay ... which I find pretty fitting 'cause she says "Okay" a lot. She's a little quiet and her handwritten notes online are pretty vague but the textbook is very helpful. You should be fine for tests as long as you get the material and know how to do the labs. Personally, I found her assignments harder than the tests.

Comment:
Woit really knows her stuff. She can be pretty quiet so I suggest sitting close to the front. For CPS305, It's best to learn the material via lectures. It's possible to use her notes but they're a bit scribbly and hard to understand without an explanation sometimes.

Very smart prof, knows her stuff. Notes online which is good, but handwritten so sometimes hard to understand unless you go to class. Midterm was written (short answer). Final was all multiple choice, which is not the greatest format.

Very nice and laid back. Knows the stuff inside and out. Even though the labs were over my head (linux os stuff), I still enjoyed the class. Not a fun topic for me but y0u have to take it.

Notes are posted on her site but they are handwritten and you may not understand them if you do not attend lectures. Assignments and exams are not easy so work hard in this course.
