Chicken scratch handwriting and a thick accent, I couldn't even follow her to save my life! She is one of the reasons I dropped out of CS!

Comment:
I dropped out of SJSU because of her. Not only she doesn't know how to teach, she will literally demolish your interest/confidence/life in CS with her harsh coursework and grading. I can expect this kind of workload in an UC campus, not in MacQuarrie Hall.

She had clear, precise, and organized notes. Always prepared for class. Very presentable and clean cut. She is tough, but fair. I learned more in her than posibbly all of my classes put together. I took her for CS147 as well. I LOVE HER!!!!!

Pretty ****y when it comes to being critical about programs and test questsions, but she knows what she's talking about. I probably could have done a lot better if I didn't have the class right after 3 hours of Humanities.

Comment:
Yeah, she's a little quirky (overly dramatic), but I prefer that over the boring droning typical to a comp sci prof. She knows her stuff; class doesn't require you to read extra info from a text because there is no textbook, just class notes/handouts. Recommended. Assignments are straightforward.

She is a good professor. At least, she knows how to program. A lot of professors at SJSU do not know how to program. I cannot believe.

excellent teacher for CS 140 which sets the foundation for CS 147 . i began to love assembly programming after learning with her . very systematic, great class notes , exams that challenge you without killing you . You need to study regularly though else you can slip your grade .

She is a nice teacher and will help you with any problems you might have on the subject. Only one large programming assignment and tests. The tests themselves were about average and her lecturing skills are somewhat bland as well.
