Professor Adali's lectures are helpful. She is nice to everyone she meets. If YOU ask her questions face to face or on the piazza, or even by emailing her, she would reply to you with words easy to understand. I took the course in fall 2017. The tests were not heavy but you should review all the materials she posts on website.

Phenomenal teacher! If you have any background in coding at all, you can honestly just skip lecture most of the time, but if you're not so well versed in coding, she does a pretty decent job in explaining everything. I mainly went to class once a week to chat with her about the new Rick and Morty episode (they will show up in class quite a bit).

Comment:
She is a rather poor lecturer; luckily Professor Turner had lectures which ran parallel to hers, earlier in the day, and covered the same content (same course). Id avoid her; she is a bit annoying and tends to be quite poor at illustrating concepts. Im very glad this course is over. Be prepared for poor instructions on assignments and esoteric..

She's one of the nicest and funniest professors. CS1 with her was an easy A for someone with no prior experience.

Her lectures are very clear. If you have any question the TAs are very helpful. She also gives a lot of extra credit. Just do the work and its an easy A.

Sibel Adali is a great teacher. I had her for CS1 and she really helps you understand new topics. She has a site set up where her and her TAs will answer nearly all questions students have. The class isn't an easy A, because the nature of the class itself requires time and energy, but she gives several late days and decent partial credit.

Such a great professor! Really enjoys working with students. Makes assignments fun by making them about student interests. Lectures are a little boring. It can be hard to pay attention, especially with your computer right in front of you. It doesn't really matter if you skip class, all the notes are online. You should try to go though!

She's just great especially if you get to know her personally. The labs are mandatory but the lecture isn't because the notes are recorded and online. Tests are straightforward and there's tons of help if you don't understand the work.

love her teaching style. She give enough time to do homework and review when they are hard. Offers extra credit sometimes but not often. Classes are engaging.

She's very engaging and uses good example problems to keep students interested. Gives three late days for no points off during the semester. Homework and labs can be really tricky, there're frequently lots of kids in office hours the day before an assignment is due, but they are graded generously. Hw grade counteracts my low (70's) test average.

Sibel Adali is not only the most adorable woman I've ever met but is literally the best professor I've had. People who posted bad things about her are just bitter because it's a difficult subject and requires a lot of work to do well. She makes classes interesting and is in NO way hard to understand. Everybody I've ever encountered loves her.

She taught the comp sci 1 class with Stewart the first semester it was offered in python (fall 2012). I preferred the days she taught because she explained things better.

One of the better CS profs. Looking at older comments, I get the idea she's come a long way. She really knows her stuff and puts a lot of work into the class. She is very nice and helpful in office hours. The class is challenging, but fair, and certainly not impossible. The average on exam 1 was 83, exam 2: 85, final: 77.

I think she teaches well. She really knows her stuff. Her accent might lose some people, but if you pay attention, and take notes you will pass the course. Her tests are open note and book. I think she's great!
