Comment:

She failed to teach what the course is supposed to teach. We spent most of class time listening to her explain fundamental concepts that we have already learned (in freshman level courses)and unnecessary pseudocode walkthroughs. She glossed over and skipped many of the more difficult topics simply because she couldn't explain them herself.

Comment:

Shes a nice lady, but very narrowminded. She knows SQL and that's it. The ASP.NET part of the class she was clueless and the TA taught it all. If you aren't a junior/senior, think twice about taking this class. Homework and group project are easy. Midterm and final are hard. Be ready to get a C.

Comment:

cant answer simple questions(but she writes research papers?) which is fair since some questions are syntax picky. but unfair for a student who is trying to learn them for a hard final where points are taken off strongly for such mistakes! a HUGE RESUME BOOSTER though for coop. i had 9 interviews!

Comment:

Horrible class lectures, exams cover things never talked about in class (or only briefly spoken of). Homeworks were assigned on material that she knew nothing about, a TA was brought in to give us a crash course which was basically advanced JSP in 40mins

Pace of class was set by people who already knew the material. Very poor teaching, very boring to listen to.

Comment:

I did not take her class, but I claim on her for letting a non-knowledge TA to teach our class. I learned some thing though but the way the TA grades is tough, which pull my GPA down. Dont ever let TA teaches please......

Comment:

Awful teacher. Found myself wishing I was anywhere but in her class. There was very little knowledge transfer from her. Maybe it was my fault.
