Comment:

The mid term and final are a lot more difficult than any of the assignments. She is a very harsh grader when it comes to the assignments. If you need help, however, she will provide it. She always had something else going on (CSCI events, meetings, etc.) and it times it felt as though she was more preoccupied with that than the class. Tough teacher

Comment:

This instructor is more concerned about quantity as opposed to quality as is most of Highline Community College. They just cram everything down your throats and expect you to understand it without adequate time practice or absorb.

She explains well what she covers in class but If someone asks beyond her presentation she will not know how to answer. Most of her presentations are just copies from online tutorials.

Very knowledgeable and helpful. One of the best instructor I've ever had in computer related courses. Grading sometimes is nit-picky. Lectures are absolutely helpful and clear. HW sometimes not clear but you can always email her and get an answer right away. Book not helpful. Definitely choose her class!

Comment:

She was very enthusiastic about teaching and was flexible with assignments and lectures depending on what the students strugled or axceled in. The amount of time spent outside of class on homework, reading, and quizes seemed a bit much for a night class, but over all it was a great class. Not to mention, she's pretty damn hot.

Comment:

An very good teacher!! explains everything clearly and distinctly. At times she'll actually come into class and say, "We're going to try something new today! I've never done this so I have no clue what will happen, but we're gonna give it a try" Makes for a fun learning enviroment.

She is very hot!! She is clear and helpful. The class is relatively easy. She continually strives to make the class better by giving class surveys which shows that she is really interested in helping students succeed in programming. She's tough grader but you will learn a lot.

Comment:

THis teacher will likely bring you to a boiling point of frustration. On the positive side, she will teach you more than any other teacher in the entire school and isn't this what school is about. Her grading is the main source of stress.
