Wireless Networks - Great professor. Very knowledgable and passionate about her subject. You can tell from being in her class. Hands-on projects. I learned a lot about teamwork and subject matter from doing projects.

Honestly, it was easiest class I've ever taken and the grade relied on me paying her $10.00 cash and also me going to 2 lectures in Northwestern. Like come on man, is this even a class or is this just a scam. Because if it is, I fell for it. There's 8 McChicken's I'm never getting back wtf. Thanks mrs. hood...

Comment:
The whole point of CS100 is to prepare you for the professional world of computer science. This class doesn't do that. Instead you form into groups and make pointless games on scratch or playing with remote control balls. Look up "Makey Makey" because that's another childish project you'll do. Simply put, this class is pointless.

Most of the grade depends on presentations and research paper. The professor is clear about her expectations. She pretty much explains what she needs from the students clearly in advance. If you follow her instructions, it is easy A.

Slow to post slides, but makes good slides... has a cool tablet. Can't always get the projector to work. Goes over material slowly. Does not make some concepts clear. Tries to be friendly and helpful.

Comment:
Terrible teacher, I had her the first semester she taught and from others I hear that she has gotten worse each semester. The curriculum leaves you ill-prepared for CS351 taught by Lee. Labs and class time is wasted, she spends class time repeating herself and stubbornly waiting for the class to answer her questions that are often ambiguous.

Comment:
Did not do a good job teaching this class, though she admitted it was her first time. She does actually care about her students, but her lectures are boring and unengaging, and the Lego lab turned out to be a minor disaster. I would not take her again for CS350, but she is likely to improve her teaching methods.

I have no idea where the low ratings came from (maybe it's one or two disgruntled people who didn't do well), but professor Hood was articulate and helpful. The only complaint I have is that she (and the other professor for the course) were a little slow to post things online, but other than that I have no complaints.

This was Network Performance, a breeze. Little homework and one project of your choice at the end. As long as you participate (make jokes) in class on the pretty interesting material you should be golden.
