Overall a good professor. Even if you stay at home instead of go to lectures (which you shouldn't do) Most of the material is online and is pretty straightforward. Lots of class work usually though, and not always the easiest

Comment:

Honestly surprised by the amount of negative feedback here. She is very knowledgeable and always willing to clarify, including after class. There is a lot of work (labs can be long) but I find them helpful to learn concepts. As others have said she can be somewhat disorganized but overall I really enjoyed the class.

1 assignment marked less than 2 weeks before the exam. Crowdmark job on assignment was poor. 2nd assignment hasn't been marked. 1 more assignments left...2nd midterm hasn't even been marked. Disappointed...

Comment:

At first she appears to be a decent professor but it starts to become obvious that she doesn't prepare much for the course. Constantly makes mistakes during lecture, weirdly stops replying to e-mails (noted among many people), heavy workload (2 midterms, 3 assignments) yet barely any feedback or marks returned before final exam. Sadly disappointed.

Comment:

Sophie is extremely incompetent and feeds her ego by marking her student unnecessarily hard. She is malicious, vindictive, and not mention, EXTREMELY disorganized. She gets flustered easily and doesnt care about students. The WORST prof at Ryerson and she should not be in the position she is right now. Sophie doesnt even have her PhD.

Comment:

She is the worst prof Ive ever had. Ive gone to her office hours for extra help sometimes & she gets flustered if I dont understand right away. I also get extra help from a PhD student in the subject & I still receive low grades despite his help. I dont receive ANY feedback on her assessments, just a mark w no explanation. By far the WORST prof

Comment:

She manages to confuse herself while presenting simple examples during class, despite having prepared and taught this course for years. She does not care about her students, and does not produce any research. She does not belong in this position.

Comment:

Quigley seems like a good prof at first, but under that facade there exists a monster that does not care about her students. During the last week of class, she announced that a majority of the class has received an Academic Integrity report, refusing to reply to ANY e-mails, including both protests with the report AND questions for the exam... k.

Doesn't know anything. You wont learn anything from her, She doesn't seem competent to even do her own labs, probably gets them from somewhere. . Butt hurt about life, Doesn't have a Phd. Hand waves proofs. Don't ever want her.

Comment:

The high-pitched way that she talks drives me insane. Instructions (for assignments or labs) are usually vague and poorly explained, she assumes students understand what she means with little effort on her part towards communicating her wishes. When we score poorly on the midterm or labs, she assumes it is our fault rather than her sub-par teaching

Comment:

This class is VERY difficult but also extremely rewarding. You learn valuable stuff. The labs took an extremely long time (14-15 hrs each) with Kattis. She overcomplicates things in lecture which makes it easy to get lost. Marks hard on the exams. We had TAs that actually wanted to be there which was a huge advantage.

She barely marks anything. You'll struggle to see more than 1/3rd the courses grades even beyond the final exam date.

Comment:

First time teaching Cannot explain and gets confused herself Textbook not that useful some labs are ridiculously, unclear instructions doesn't take up midterm or labs "This is trivial" but not to us students! sometimes she makes up stuff on the spot which is wrong during lecture when she could have said I don't know

Amazing professor. Very enthusiastic with the course material and inspires you to learn during her class on a weekly basis. Her labs and projects are a lot of fun to work on. Everyone in the class enjoyed themselves thoroughly in her class. Her teaching methods are extraordinary and enjoyable. She is a very fair marker as well. I recommend her!

Comment:

She is a nice person but is extremely weak in communicating her knowledge. This was the first time she is teaching this course and it was very clear she was learning the material with us. Her expectations for assignments are highly unrealistic because she has never actually worked with the language she's trying to teach in class.

Comment:

First of all, she is not a proferssor. (doesn't have PH.D) Second of all, her own assignment had bugs and she expects us to do well on them Third of all, Her marks are consistent and has the most ridiculous excuses for not giving high marks. Forth of all, HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE.

Comment:

She was horrible! The course load was too much! Even for her cuz she couldn't do her own assignments and everyone found errors with her last version of them! She picked at the smallest things to complain and deduct marks! Wasn’t helpful! told my team member not to argue with her when she couldn't win the discussion!(I thought universities were foun
