Comment:
Ms. Samolewski is an effective instructor who teaches the book well, and delivers the information in a relatively understandable format. The class work is often straight from the book, and she is happy to assist students with problems in their work, whether it be projects or day-to-day class work. She is willing to work with your schedule as well.

Awesome teacher, really helpful when I had problems and knew everyone by name. Her lectures sometimes didn't help students with less confidence in the class.

She's really nice, tries to be hilarious. The class was easy for me but some students found it hard to follow. Her assignments would be to copy examples directly but then she would give us programming projects that would be sort of difficult.

Her class is very easy IF you are a CS or CIS major. If you are not a CS or CIS major, find a student that knows what they are doing and sit near them so that you can frequently ask for help.

Great teacher. I would take her again. She is very helpful if you are having issues and she tries to make everything as clear as possible. She has a very upbeat personality and is just overall a really nice teacher.

Everyone raved about how great Nancy was, but I didn't really feel that way. All you did for homework was copy code out of the book and submit it- I didn't learn anything that way. Then when it came to programs, you were expected to know how to manipulate the things you used from the book. I heard many people discussing how useless the class was.

Good professor who really wants you to learn the material, but sometimes can get herself confused. She is extremely helpful if you are having trouble and willing to work with you on turning stuff in late. Very easy exams if you study. Good professor.

Easy class, but painfully obvious she didn't understand basic coding concepts or even how to read or code VB. offers a lot of extra credit.

The teacher is good at explaining things, but the class is so easy and self-explanatory that you don't really need a lecture. All assignments are spelled out for you word for word in the book. Extra credit crosswords are an option. She puts the tests on vspace and the questions are right from the practice quizzes, so it's a very easy A.

Comment:
It was a dumb class. Almost too easy, like to the point where you're like, oh I don't need to go for a couple weeks, and you pretty much still know what's going on. I found it to be a complete waste of time. I learned to do Powerpoints in high school.

Nacy is a great teacher. I'm good with computers, and I learned a lot of new stuff very easily. Attendance is important so make sure you go. Other than that, do you homework and don't fall behind on your projects and it'll be a breeze.

This class was based on attendance. If you have some computer knowledge it isn't so bad, a little boring. The programming portion had little to no relvancy though, but I heard thats the way all CS105's run.

This is one of the easiest classes I've ever taken. It's not really required for anything but it's easy credits and you might learn a few things.
