Comment:

Took attendance after everyone started skipping the dull lectures. Solo assignment submissions were forbidden despite them being overly easy, so the class mailing group constantly had people offering to have others ride off their work. Said some things wouldn't be in quizzes, only to have them turn up. Nice in person though, and pretty easy tests.

Comment:

Teacher is extremely hard to follow during lectures. She goes off topic most of the lecture and presents concepts in a confusing manner. It doesn't help that her slides are worse than a power point presentation made by an elementary school student (confusing and unorganized topics). If you can't avoid her skip lectures and memorize her messy ppts

worst prof ever, you work hard, and still get low marks, if you don't want your GPA to drop, don't take a course with her. Her accent is horrible, boring lectures, doesn't know how to explain.

She is an awesome prof who is very clear abt what she needs. She gives li'l homework too. This subj is very interesting as it gives so much exposure into real time proj envt. A must for S/W engineers. Don't miss her agile workshop. Also never miss meeting with her and TA every week reg. proj! Both of their views might contradict but do what TA says

Very kind teacher that cares about her students. Very helpful during office hours also, even if we come a little later. Whenever we need feedback on our projects, she is always there to help us do our best :)

She's really friendly and cute. Tries to be understanding and relate to us by sharing snippets of her own experiences. Lots of homework to do (in teams) but not very difficult and evenly spread out for grading. Slides are useful and she tells you exactly what material to study. Quizzes were easy as well, all multiple choice.

Comment:

She pitches what needs to be said appropriately, covers a lot of material, requests many assignments, though her mid-terms and exams are fairly straight-forward. The class did so well, she ended having to curve the average down. If you ask questions, she does her best to answer them. Aged but regardless pretty cute! :)

Theres an assignment every week, too many, and they're worth measly 1% each. Her midterm and exam are fairly easy. She does not know how to make slides, it becomes very confusing to read.

Comment:

Very nice and helpful in her office hours, but her lecture style is poor and her slides are extremely dry. When asking for clarification on examples she'll often repeat the same thing which doesn't help much. Her sample problems and review material appears to be copied from online or photocopied from previous student exams.

Comment:

She is extremely vague and hard to listen to. Has no control over students. Although one of the easiest markers in the program, I am at the point where grades don't really matter to me. I'd rather learn, she made this very difficult.

Best teacher at Concordia University. Whoever commented bad about her did that because they do not belong to this domain. We love you Dr.Ormandjieva, keep up the good work and good spirit :)

Comment:

She is always arguing with the students even when it is the students that are right ... and it happens often. Get lost in her slides and have difficulty passing the information to the student. Tutors this session were VERY SLOW correctors.
