Have had her for a teacher more than once. She is a great teacher. Her classes are very exciting if you like programming and dont have a hard time learning some things independently. Would def. take her classes. I have learned a lot in her classes.

She weeds out the developers from the non-developers. Shes tough but shes what you expect. Despite her difficulty and lack of clarity at times she is extremely helpful and nice. People need to stop whining about it.

Very helpful, dedicated to getting the message across. She will meet with you as long as necessary to get you to understand. If you are not fully getting everything but are truly putting forth a strong effort, she takes that in to consideration.

A very informative class, well taught and thought out. No powerpoints but her custom made pdf's. All applicable and applied without being obnoxious.

Wow, good luck getting through her class. Dr. Deb is a nice lady but needs to stick to research and avoid teaching at all cost! When you can't teach the basics then you will never get you kids to understand. I will never use Java again because of her! Still a nice lady though but needs to work on the teaching!

Unorganized, powerpoints from book authors get her through the day. Nice lady, but needs to learn how to teach programming to entry level programmers

This class will be easy if you like programming. I think Deb is a nice lady, but does not fully get her teaching points accross to people who have trouble thinking in a programming way. If you have trouble in the class, definitely ask for her help!!!
