Comment:

Let me mention that the learning outcome of the class is really good. One of the reasons for that is you have to do a lot of reading on your own with little help frm class. You may study topics and approach her outside of class and she is very helpful. Assignments are tough, many; Grading: piece of cake. Key: be regular and ask questions in class.

Comment:

Teacher & TA contradict each other, both contradict the book. Homework is a major pain since no one is clear about what they want & they change the requirements right before its due. TA (Hari Bharti) also marks things right when wrong so you think you know the material on the exam but you fail (her excuse-she no control how he grade). Avoid.

Homework is half the grade, and is helpful to understanding the material. Super nice teacher though, easy to understand most of the time if you are paying attention.

Comment:

Terrible. No review before the final. Homeworks not graded with feedback until the day before the final, and no homework solutions posted. Her teaching style is a recipe for failure. I thought AI would be really interesting but this course squeezed all the interest right out of it for me.

The reason I'm not a CIS major anymore. You can't understand what she is talking about. Her "L's" sound like "R's" and her "V's" sound like "W's". Nice lady, though.

She's ok, she can be hard to understand and reads off the slides but I've learned alot in the class and she doesn't seem to want to fail anyone.
