Comment:
Mary was my prof for two first year CompSci courses in the mid-90s. She was easy-going and funny. She seemed a bit nervous in front of the class at times, but most people can relate to that . I worked hard and got As. She made the material easy to understand and I still remember the demos where she acted as Karol the Robot. I later TA'd for her.

Wonderful. I'm taking another computer course now and I miss her. I rated the material easy because she made it easy. She's enthusiastic, positive, extremely helpful (in and out of class).

Seems to get flustered while she teaches. Kind of knows the material, but doubts herself if she copies something down wrong or a student answers differently than what she has. A nice person, but struggles with teaching in general.

She is probably the nicest lady ever. CISC 101 is an easy intro class to computing, as it should be, and Mary does an excellent job teaching it. Make sure you have her if you can.

Pretty dissapointing. Her tests are Long and overshadow anything else you might do in the course. over 1/4th of your grade will be determined in 50 min and by 3 questions. She's a very nice person but is incapable of teaching. If possible, avoid having her.

Simply put, probably the most incompetent person I've ever met, and yes I am comparing her to every single person I have met. Avoid at all costs

Terrible incapable teacher, totally unclear, vague as hell. Half her class has gone missing since the term began. Learn more from the book than from her.

Really nice, takes everyones picture and gets to know you! Was good for first half of course, but afterwards it was evident that she didn't know too much on the topic herself... don't take any courses involving C++ w/ her, she doesn't know it!!
