Comment:
This class was way more complicated than it needs to be. Instructions, assignments, and overall class format is very unorganized and hard to follow. When reaching out for help, i was told to take another class instead. Last but not least, many of the assignments seem like they haven't been updated in ages.

Comment:
To require CIS50 with this professor is gross negligence on behalf of LPC. Many assignments are a decade+ old, applications such as ACCESS are barely discussed but still tested on. Assignments are confusingly worded and she never gives feedback. Final project is astonishingly complex for such little credit.

This class was required for my major or I wouldn't have taken it. That being said, the syllabus and class schedule were pretty clear from the beginning. The assignment instructions not so much, they clearly had not been updated for the semester, and I felt pretty lost. Fair grader, so if you keep at it you should be fine

Comment:
She made the final nothing that we covered all year. 50 questions. In 50 minutes. Goodluck answering questions she makes up in her head. That only she would know. The hw is tedious and annoying. She doesnt communicate well. Study for finals? Goodluck she switches it all at the end of the year.

I took her class a few semester back and I had to drop the class because she was very disorganized and rude. I can't believe she is still teaching. I highly recommend not to take her class.

I just transferred to Las Positas and took CIS 50 for the summer. The assignments are not hard, just extremely tedious. Professors communication is very poor. Received a zero for an assignment and would not communicate with me as to why. I would not take this class again.

Comment:
DJ Fields to say the least has a TON of work. I took the summer class at Las Positas and although it was not hard to do the instructions and to do the work, the grading is what annoyed me. I am a tech student that just took 30 units last semester in an accelerated tech program and Feilds graded my work HARD! Still an easy pass though.

Comment:
These ratings make zero sense. These students most likely do not succeed in College. From their analysis of Professor Fields, their own scholastic bias permeates through their hollow accusations. Professor Fields is specific in her instructions and assignment requirements. Just pay attention for more than the 5 minutes it takes to read them.

Comment:
Do yourself a favor and do not take any classes with her. Second time taking a class with her, under no choice. VERY UNORGANIZED. HW are not uploaded until the day it's due. You won't find out your grade til later the semester. Very unhelpful and takes days to answer your questions (online classes). Overall, save yourself and don't take her.

Took this class during summer 2019. One of the worst decisions of my life, literally had to talk to my therapist about this class. Numerous mental breakdowns, she never answered my emails. The instructions are hard to read. She is so extra for no reason.

Is there a rating lower than 1? She makes stats and econ seem like a walk in the park. Unbelievable how much homework she assigns. The least bit helpful when it comes to responding to emails. Literally had to tell her how many questions I had and asked if she could address all through 3 questions after she would only respond to one

Comment:
Very unclear assignments. Its difficult to find whats due because she has assignments spread throughout canvas and aplia. She over complicates her instructions. Its nice to have all the detail, but all the details make for a headache trying to figure out whats due. Mac users be prepared to have to jump through some hoops for some assignments

Comment:
One of the most unprofessional teachers Ive had at Las Positas College. Her directions on homework are unclear and will give you zero credit if you mess up on one little thing. Her lectures are hard to follow and she gave very unprofessional and rude feedback on a final project. If you do most the online hw you can still pass the class.

Before I logged into her class, I honestly hoped my laptop would self-combust and take me out with it so I didnt have to deal with her class.

Comment:
CIS50 from Debbie Fields was an unorganized mess and headache disguised as a class. An absolute struggle to maintain an A in this class due to her strict and unclear grading criteria. If I could sum up my experience with Debbie Fields, it would be getting a question wrong for answering with (A) instead of (a). Save yourself the stress. Avoid.

Hard class if youre a Mac user. Instructions geared toward pc users and doesnt give much instruction for those who have a Mac. Assignments are unorganized and doesnt say when things are due. Save yourself the stress and go with another professor whos more professional

Reading these reviews, I thought this class would be on the easier side. Her HW assignments are hard to follow and unclear. She was rude to me for the 1st HW bc I wasn't sure how to submit two files at once & she responded back with attitude saying I shouldn't "throw it all at her". Close to wanting to drop this class bc of her rudeness & attitude.

The pro's. Extremely understandable homework. She walks you through everything and you will leave class with a thorough understanding of computer basics. Quiz's and Test require just a basic understanding of material. Nothing tricky. The con's. The homework can take forever. I mean FOREVER! Hard to do while working full time and taking 2 classes

Online class is easy. The class is based on basic computer skills most people should already have. Each week consists of homework assignment/s and quiz/zes, and sometimes a quick discussion board. Be prepared to take lots of screen shots, and if you have a MAC, you'll probably struggle a little bit more, and hopefully you have Microsoft Office.
