Comment:

Most of her classes are hands on. You will be coding during class and she will walk around the room and help her students. Very insightful and helpful! She will rephrase something several times for you to understand her. Her homework and tests are challenging but its definitely worth taking her. I would take her again for another class.

Comment:

This class is brutal for those with very little prior programming experience. You will fall on your face a lot while you try to navigate the book and materials (which can be very dry). Prof. Mathews is helpful but as the semesters moves along, get ready to invest in going to the comp. lab for more support. Take this class on-campus if you can.

Comment:

She is no nonsense in her approach. She can be harsh but if you run into problems she is extremely fair - just ask her if you need something! Will generally cover one chapter a week. Do not miss the first day of class each week and review the material as it is assigned - Mathews likes classroom participation during lectures! She loves programming!

Comment:

Good professor, always willing to help. Doesn't put up with people clowning around in class (which for some reason people did...). I knew nothing about C++ going into this and still got an A. Quite a bit of work involved but if you stay on top of it you'll get it.

Comment:

My favorite teacher so far. No nonsense attitude. She has a bit of an accent, but it doesn't get in the way of her teaching. She can be brusque at times, but when 70% of the class is male, she has to be. She makes the information seem easy, is fair with grading, and doesn't require much studying. Would take any class she teaches.

Comment:

I would not recommend this teacher. Constantly being told "figure it out yourself" when asking any question relating to the class. Every time I have spoken to her I am left with the feeling of being belittled and insulted like a child.

best professor ever. had her for beginning programming. The work is tough and you have to know the material or you will fail. No easy grades here. But she teaches very well and makes it very simple.

Comment:

Yes, she is a very nice person, but here are some of the things out should watch out for. 1. Professor is EXTEMELY hard to understand. (I was glad that the examples of code were drawn on the board, it saved my grade.) 2. Most of the students have had prior coding expericence. Do not take if you just have a general interest. 3. Not a blow off clas

Not an easy A, but i got one. she is really tough but gives you every opportunity to make a good grade. do all your work, study for quizzes and tests. quizzes come mainly from power point and she gives study guides for the tests. She is a great teacher and i totally recommend her.

Great professor seriously loved her class, just come to class get your work done on time and she'll help you the whole way through and makes sure you fully understand the subject instead of just how to get the answer before you move on really wish she taught other CS classes for my degree I'd be enrolled in every one

Comment:

She is an amazing teacher. She's extremely smart...and she's very nice and helpful. I had Kathy Cupp's java class prior to her Visual Basic class, and Cupp ruined my dream of being a programmer. But I decided to take Sara's class and she totally changed everything! She game me hope and made me feel good. If you like difficult classes in an easy and

Although I made an A, I would not say this is an easy class. The test is pretty easy compare to the homework. She is very helpful. I would recommend her to anyone that tries hard.

Programming is already hard if you dont know what your doing. She makes sure you are understanding and learning the material. She makes you work for your grade. An excellent teacher.
