Comment:

Written from the perspective of someone who had taken a single block-based coding course prior. Not terrible, not amazing, but I would say fine choice as a professor. Lectures are alright but be ready to read the textbook and use external resources to truly comprehend the topic. Tests can be difficult while assignments and homework are easier.

Comment:

Those who have some background knowledge fare better than others. She doesn't teach well so you can only self study on your own. The assignment she gives doesn't explain much in details on the way it's done. The exam don't give much clarification so If we misinterpreted it, we are wrong. The way she taught only explain in text so it hard to learn.

She's a really old lady. She has a better grading in here than other profs in the department. So DON"T get afraid, just know what to expect. There is an easy book that she makes you read. You have to be reading it to pass the class bc you won't learn much in class if you aren't reading. But the book is super easy to understand tho.

Nice professor, but not for people who are new to learning java, DONT TAKE HER. All her class subject was base on another professor methods teaching and things on the textbook. The way she teach is confusing. It is basically self-teaching class.

Comment:

Even though class is optional and homework & labs add up to only 15% of the grade, don't skip these opportunites. No matter how confident you are about your java skills, you need to go to class to see the manner of how she does things and listening to her lectures gives you an easier idea of what will be on the tests. Only buy the workbook.

Comment:

The course is not difficult if you do all the assignments and go over the workbook after class. The assignments are a bit complex but not anything the professor did not cover in class; if you put in the effort, you will easily pass, but otherwise, you will not do so well

Comment:

I don't know how she gets 3.0 quality. she is not even worth of 1.0 quality. she grades by exam, all are 33%. She doesn't give any credits for attendance, homework or any other activities. she doesn't drop lowest score or give extra credit or curve the grade. Other professors offer to raise up grade, but she offers to take F grade.

At first, she may be hard to understand, but following along with the textbook helps a lot. A lot of people don't like her because they don't do well, but if you're prepared to put in the time and work, and ASK QUESTIONS WHEN YOU'RE CONFUSED, you'll do well. Additionally, she is quite accessible and you can reach her all the time by email.

Test heavy for sure! All the assignments and labs worth total of 15 points and rest are all exams. The worse is that she grades harshly on exams. 7 out of 9 of my assignments are 10, and I know the material but failed miserably on the exams

Comment:

Amazing for strong students, but terrible for average students. Does not answer stupid questions. Is extremely clear and covers exactly what is needed but goes fast. You must do the work or you will get a low grade. Seems evil in the beginning but once you get to know her she is extremely caring, helpful, and extremely accessible out of class.

She takes some time to warm up to. She a fiery old lady which can be entertaining, just play along. You really can teach yourself in this class. She post all the slides, HW, and labs online. Just show up to get credit for labs & attendance, take the test, do your Hw, easy A. I literally would shop in class and do other HW and passed with an A.

Basically if you are in this class get ready to use google to self educate yourself. Cogan is nice but o dont think she know what she is teaching. The material is mostly easy enough to teach yourself but if you want to save yourself the trouble dont take her.
