Comment:

The teacher is extremely arrogant. She thinks she is right even when she is wrong. She rambles on about useless stuff. She is also very rude towards students for absolutely no reason. Exams with her make you feel like you're in the army (Over exaggerated rules like writing down questions on the exam sheet instead of simply raising your hand to ask)

Comment:

Her class is more like philosophy and history class . I am not sure how good she is for other subject but I can clearly see that she is not interested in teaching NLP, keeps talking randomly and in last minute rushes , randomly keep uploading slides with guidance ... Dont' take her class unless you want to study all by yourself.

Comment:

She is condescending, sarcastic and clearly shows you that you are inferior to her. She constantly gets confused by the lecture that she reads off the slides and by students questions. She will never help you boost your grade, only thing she will ever do is try to make you feel stupid, and guilty for wasting her time

Comment:

One of the worst teachers I've ever had the displeasure of having. Completely unapproachable. You can't ask questions in class because she will answer you with a condescending response and you'd never dare ask another question again. COMP232 is one of the hardest classes and if you don't understand the first time, she thinks you're simply stupid.

Comment:

Dr Bergler is just so hard to understand. She explains things in the most confusing way possible, and often stops mid-lecture to look at her slides and comment about them being confusing to her as well. She's loony, and it's true that there are unicorns all over her office. I know I'll avoid her in the future. I advise you do the same.

Comment:

Most likely the worst teacher you could have at Concordia, arguably worse than Probst. Uses someone else's slides to teach, often ends up confused about the content of those slides and just reads the content. Don't be surprised if she doesn't want to answer your questions. Penalizes groups for projects if less than the amount of people required.

Comment:

Verbose, goes on tangents. Some typos in her slides. That said, she's not as bad as others purport. Her lectures are still worthwhile despite the digressions. She covers the material thoroughly enough. Her quips towards students are kind of funny. She's no nonsense and will shut down a crappy a response from a student before they can finish.

Comment:

Material for this course is dry to begin with but she makes it even worse. Teaches with the slides that come with the book and she's pretty much reading the slides and sometimes uses different words. Never adds any extra info, so just focus on the projects which are easily doable if you have good coding experiences and you'll be fine

Comment:

I'm sure she's a nice person and all but her classes are so incredibly boring... I was looking forward to AI as I head that it's very fun but due to a last minute switch with the profs and I ended up with her. Monologues in a monotonous voice that is both impossible to tune out and impossible to pay attention to. Babbles to no end with no point.

Comment:

She is very tough at grading. And her tests are tricky, but rather short. She is an interesting person with interesting stories sometimes, but because she talks so much it is hard to follow her sometimes. Overall you do learn a great deal through the homework which is extremely heavy.

Comment:

Very poorly run course in general with typos everywhere. It doesn't help when your proffesor stands at the front with no idea of what's actually going on(despite having taught the course for decades). You're only going to class for the mandatory aspects. Course isn't hard if you think logically.

Comment:

She managed to make an easy class really confusing. She spends too much time explaining obvious things but skips the hard ones assuming we understand. Her test are multiple choice. midterm was 10 multiple choice questions. It's bs. I have a very high average but her way of teaching and assessments are not made to make people understand or pass.

Comment:

She knows what she is doing. She might trick you that she does not see a hidden mistake you try to cover in your project, but be ready. She sees everything clearly, just like a falcon, do not over smart with this lady. I like this professor, she will teach you things for your future career, trust me folks.

knows the material very well doesn't care if you understand or not, just want to finish the material on time boring lectures You must read the book before you go to understand what she says Exams are Tricky and shallow (2 mistakes 6% whole grade) might mock you for a silly or wrong answer assignments are doable, excellent and instructive

Comment:

This class is a typical graduate oriented course. You can not know how to program, yet get very well in this course. The material at the high-level is not to hard to comprehend and apply. Ensure that you have a strong team for the project, for its worth a fair amount. Start working on it early. Don't worry about details, bigger picture.

Comment:

Bergler is a terrible teacher. She *MIGHT* know her stuff but she definitely doesn't know how to deliver it. Slides are filled with mistakes, not a single example on the blackboard, and won't even be able to answer a single of your question. COMP232 is a hard topic so pick any other teacher available. If you take her, go to class for clicker-Qs.

Comment:

Look, the course isn't easy. You WILL NOT DO WELL unless you actually READ the textbook and DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS AT THE BACK. This is in the outline. Do not depend on the prof or you will fail. She herself seems to struggle with the material, her lectures will leave you more confused than when you started. Don't miss out the 10% for clicker q's
