Comment:

If you are going to take this teacher do not try your best on your paper assignments. If it's too "complex" she will give you the lowest grade possible. If you ask why she will rant about how fancy your paper is and elude to you cheating. If you are stuck with her DO THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM and you'll pass.

Comment:

Gives a lot of homeworks, quizzes every meeting, some papers to pass, but she was always willing to help and only have one final exam; which is super easy as long as you do and review all the quizzes. Make sure you have few extra hours every week for this class for all the stuffs you need to pass.

Comment:

I definitely would not recommend taking her. She can be extremely rude and can't explain material if she's already gone over it and you don't understand it. It's almost if she tries to get her students to teach her class for her.

A superior human! She destroyed my mind, and re-learned it in a bestest way possible. Creative way of teaching, like a clay master of the brain.

Comment:

One of the most useless professors of CS12 if you want to learn anything don't take her class. Her idea of teaching is putting up an excel for dummies tutorial and your on your own while she eats her food. SHE SHOULD NEVER TEACH AGAINNNNNNNNNNN.

Comment:

Has absolutely no idea about computers. Pauses for like 5 minutes trying to figure out what she was talking about or what she said wrong. Never finishes a class on time. Also believes in many fallacies (claims the existance of a "Java Architecture CPU" and that Java was made specifically to run on that chip and that Java VM came later on)

Comment:

The projects she gives these students are outrageous with respect to how she teaches. I am carrying some of the students in my lab because I already know what I'm doing. I try to tutor them the best I can. The points she takes off for the project are ridiculous. If you plan on printing your projects out of eclipse, you better think twice!

Comment:

Took the course as a summer course and the lab was hell. If you take other courses during the summer with lots of deadlines to meet then stay away from her. The projects are just too huge for the amount of time and would be appropriate for a regular session.

She may be extremly bright but she has no abilities to teach. If at all possible stay away from this woman but if not, find a god and start praying to it because no amount of work or knowledge will get you through.

Comment:

A very, very useless professor. She is extremely picky on her projects and most of the time she doesn't even know what the hell is going on. Is hard to avoid her because she is teaching 4/5 of the classes. Just suck it up and prepare for the worse and prepare not to learn anything. There is no word to describe her incompetency.

Comment:

She is very annoying professor i have ever seen in my life. She doesn't listen to you what you are saying and just judge you with her own imagination. She has discouraging attitude i should say. Very poor in grading projects. Make sure you find out before you take her class. I had a very bad experience taking her.
