Fall 2025 - TLDR: Incoherent lectures, inaccurate notes/practice problems, slow grading, and poor commuication. She's nice enough, but honestly, it's just gotten too ridiculous. Her lectures don't make sense, and the notes she uploads often have mistakes within them, and even if they don't, it's still hard to understand due to how unorganized they are. The only upside is the videos she uploads to the media gallery (from another professor). This wouldn't be horrible if not for the absurdly difficult homework assignments and exams that the videos (again, that she doesn't make) and lectures simply don't prepare you for. Studying for exams is also a nightmare. The practice problems she uploads are not only full of errors and typos, but also formatted inconsistently. Multiple C++ compilers give different answers compared to the ones she gives in her answer key. She also doesn't communicate well with students; many questions you ask in person are met with "I don't know" or "I'll figure it out later," and she rarely answers questions on Piazza. The last issue I have is that she also takes forever to grade. To be fair, this is definitely more of a funding issue, but it still sucks waiting forever for any homework to be graded. It took almost a month for the first midterm to come back.
