Comment:

Professor Pleasant provides good feedback in class, and answers all of your questions. She responds to emails, and works with students to figure out problems in their code. She provides clear grading rubrics, and grades fairly. As long as you pay attention in class, the homework isn't too difficult. Overall, I would take her class again if I could.

Comment:

Excellent professor in all aspects. Not boring, explains well, cares for students(less so when they clearly don't try). Open door policy. Exams are thorough but she clearly states what will be on them, so there are few unexpected topics. Do the homework and go to class. At least one assignment/lab is due every week.

Comment:

By far, my favorite professor at UT Tyler. Great at lecturing. She's still learning the new Canvas system, but does a great job covering the material. Her tests are pretty tough (short answer/theory based, definitely study and read the material). I've never coded before and she made the C language easy to understand.

Comment:

The lectures were good, but the labs are a different story, as the TAs are not helpful. If you've never coded before, this class is a great start, and she is there to help if you ask. I wish I would have read the book more, as a lot of her test is short answer and somewhat theory based. She takes a while to grade the tests.

I took her online access class and found it to be very easy with her help. she is very nice and willing to help as long as you ask. She seemed to be pretty knowledgeable but i could see where others would beg to differ. I would recommend her to anyone

Comment:

Took her courses for both COSC 1336 and 1337 and the associated labs. She's an amazing teacher. She teaches programming skills but doesn't impress her style on you. She lets you develop your own programming style. Highly recommended. Gives lots of mini assignments to encourage attendance.

This lady is very nice, helps when she can, but she obviously knows nothing about the subject she was teaching. She tried hard but knew absolutly nothing about it. The class was digital multimedia and i didn't learn a thing. She Didn't know anything about the class. Anyhow, very nice lady, just hope she knows what she's talking about.

GREAT LECTURES!! If you attend class everyday, you will learn something. She is always willing to answer any questions and keeps her door open to everyone. She is by far the greatest instructor at UT Tyler. Her assignments are tough and her test are hard, but the experience is well worth it. She is an excellent advisor & mentor.

Just as her name implies - a pleasant woman! Very knowledgable about the subject. You have to work hard, read the book, and turn in assignments on time to make a good grade. It will take some effort on your part but you will come out learning so much!

Very nice lady, helpful if you ask questions. Tests aren't that bad as long as you know the material. Posts PowerPoints on BlackBoard to review. Assignments are fairly easy, just make sure you know the current material. Doesn't count off for absences but sometimes takes daily grades in class.

Ms. Pleasant is the best thing the UTTyler CS department has. Leaps and Bounds beyond any other CS professor, and her charisma keeps attention focused, even with boring CS material. Excellent all around. Always helpful.
