Comment:

Straight forward, very human teacher which we can use more of in the degree program and her assignments are workable (although it's a bit difficult to think that she's the sole author of them). Do your readings and work with others and her courses are a breeze. "A" mark without too much work :).

Comment:

She herself is a very nice lady, but has no clue as how to teach or answer questions. YOu will have to read the entire book and memorize all the powerpoint slides or else you will definitely fail. Attending class is useless as she just talks about her past experiences. Learn everything on your own. FInal is VERY difficult.

Comment:

Well, if you can get past heavy accents and can learn from a book on your own which does not make sense itself, ur a champ! I found it extremely difficult to understand her in class. She is a very nice and kind woman, but should not be teaching. Final exam is ridiculously difficult! Beware!

Comment:

For ITEC 1000 and 1010, she wasnet a really good professor. She knows her stuff for sure, but I found she couldnt really communicate her knowledge well. Tests are easy to fair. Good person, shares her stories from Russia with class sometimes. Ill never forget that little man computer.

Lecture are not clear. Course website poorly done. Assignments requirements are not clearly stated. If you taking section B and she teaches both. She meakes section B exams extremely hard. Goes off topic. Midterm is purly memory of small uselss definition, theories. Photography memeory is a requirement.

Horrible teacher. She is very hard to understand and does not explain anything. She is not clear about anything she is trying to explain. Maybe as an individual she is a better person but as a prof she is horrible. Try to get someone else!!

Comment:

As a professor, she is knowledgeble, but it is not very clear what she is saying. On many ocassion I could not understand what she was saying or teaching. Not the best as a prof. Though the class is pretty easy when you learn by your self.

Comment:

Good for itec 1000, explained concepts decently, but you had to think about what she was telling you to understand. Shes very boring. She doesnt teach 1010 well at all, but what can you expect from an assistant professor?

Comment:

Don't bother taking this course with her. Not only does she not know anything, she doesn't know how to teach it either. Although, she's very good with ITEC 3220, this is just not her course. I recommend taking it with Stephen Chen or studying the book yourself.

A really nice lady...her assignments were really good and related to what we learned in class...plus she let us out a bit early when the class is too long...plus 3220 is an interesting course too.
