Comment:

She is a genuine caring woman, however, her accent does reduce her teaching proficiency incredibly. The first half of the semester was a piece of cake, but when normalization concepts are introduced it was INCREDIBLY difficult to understand her. These concepts are hard to grasp because they're so subjective, and she is very unclear hows it's marked

She is very nice and the course itself is very simple. Her exams are very easy and a loose marker. As long as you understand what she is talking about, you should pass this course very easy.

Comment:

Worst professor I've ever seen. Never listens to you, she has a habit of talking too much but trust me you will never get what she is talking. If you want to fail then take this professor. She is an old lady, her English is too bad. She does not teach anything also she is a tough grader. Seneca should fire this type of lady.

Lydia is so knowledgeable about databases, but struggles at putting it into words. If you directly ask a question, she will be very helpful. She's also pretty funny and has a thick accent. Everyone has had a teacher like her in high school.

Comment:

Lydia was easily accessible outside of the classroom. I emailed her to schedule an appointment and it was set up for the next day. She was patient with my questions and provided detail explanations. You have to ask your questions carefully, however. Her jokes may offend some. An easy A+ if you do your work and show your effort: optics is key.

Comment:

If you can't learn on your own well I wouldn't choose her unfortunately she rambles on a lot and her lectures are un-clear. She is very strict on deadlines and does not give extensions. If you are taking her class do not expect help with any projects.

Comment:

Easy marker for a relatively easy course. Has an accent, but not a big problem. Usually repeats important concepts in lectures, so be sure to attend them. She answers concept-relevant questions in great detail, but may get a little frustrated at times. Overall, if you keep up, easy A.

Her English is hard to understand however with DAT702 she will teacher better then the other teachers. for OPS400 classes there are pop Quizzes and they count but its more or less open book so bring cheat sheets. Ones you have the cheat sheets the class is a joke.

Comment:

Course material is easy, but she have below average clarity on her instructions on tests, labs and assignment which will screw up your work so you need to be the Sherlock Homes and figure stuff out on your own because she also is forgetful, absent, no reply to mail and won't even listen to what u have to say. Trump/Rubio March 3rd debate style.

Comment:

Her lecture material is easy and she's an easy marker, but be prepared to learn SQL on your own. Labs are tough, so get into groups to solve them quickly. At times she could be hard to understand due to her accent.

Comment:

She has an incredibly thick accent which is very difficult to understand. If you don't attend the lectures you will not pass. Her tests are very hard and she is a tough marker. During the lab period she leaves the class for more than half the time, so don't expect much help. Overall bad teacher, I wouldn't recommend taking her class 410

Lydia is great. She is very willing to help, her lectures aren't very long but takes everything step by step so you understand it all. As long as you try, she will help you as much as she can. Go to her class, and don't expect to get spoon fed!

Comment:

She's great. She may not be the best when it comes to lectures but she definitely makes you try and self learn throughout the course. She is quite strict when it comes to grading so always be sure to look over your answers before submitting. TL;DR She doesn't take any bs from anybody, great teacher.
