Comment:
Professor Lancor is amazing! She really cares that you understand Python and she slows down or goes fast depending on the pace of the class. She really listens and appreciates feedback, which I rarely see in other professors. I struggled as an English major, but decided to stick with Computer Science as a minor because of Prof Lancor!

Lisa was by far the best professor I could have gotten for programming. Course is hard but she makes it fun and is very helpful. I would definitely say the book is little "required", however it does help a lot if CSC is to be your major I recommend buying rather than renting.

Comment:
Lisa is a great professor. She is very knowledgable. To pass this class, just do the labs, and homework assignments. Tests can be hard, but if you study you should be fine. The final project is fun, DO IT. Pick a cool topic and then have fun. She is helpful with ideas, but doesn't help much in the labs. Recommend highly.

Too much to do in too little time for this course. The material is stretched thin and you don't get a good feel for the subject. She is a good professor and promotes interaction.

One of the few inspired professors at SCSU. Clearly interested in helping her students learn the material and progress in life. Ask her lots of questions, she's a wealth of knowledge.

Had her as a thesis advisor. She won't accept work that is not of thesis quality no matter how hard you try. If you are expecting her to define your entire thesis for you, she won't. That is part of the learning process.

Hands down the best professor in the Computer Science Department at SouthernCT. Extremely understanding and helpful. CSC 424 is one of the most useful classes to have under your belt. The tests can be challenging but Dr. Lancor knows when you're trying and doesn't completely mark questions wrong when she knows you're on the right track

Worst thesis advisor you could get, can't make a decision, won't back you up. Spends more time nitpicking grammar issues then content.

Easily one of the best teachers SCSU's Computer Science program has to offer. This professor is very enthusiastic about the course material and creates a liveliness in class. She is very helpful if you have any problems, is knowledgeable about the courses she teaches, and is very good to keep in contact with. A+ Professor!!

Good teacher. Groups weren't divided fairly and the class was all group work. There was obvious bias towards certain students. Overall a good class, though.

Decent teacher! She uses a lot of 'jargon' and she may do things that you have no clue how to do. Otherwise, fair grader.

I feel the exact same way as the user below me, down to the group and the slaughtering and everything. Haha. I never bought the book for this class and just got a 93 on the midterm. Attendance isn't mandatory but you'll pretty much fail if you don't go. Take the once a week night class, at least it's a little more fun and laid back.

Really nice teacher. CSC 330 is a really hard class. Hardest class I've ever taken, but really worthwhile. I kind of hate my group at this point (the class is all group work), but that willl go away once i slaughter their families. The class is hard, but the tests are easy. Be prepared to work everynight on your project.

Overall she is nice. Used to be a great teacher. Got her points across and was willing to help her students. Now that she is a full professor and has started a family only seems to show up when she has too and the amount learned and dropped dramatically.
