Comment:

Eva was one of the best teacher's I had during the program. You can tell she cares about her job, which is a big contrast to some other teachers. You have to put in the work though, her labs are not setup for you to just follow instructions and get a mark. It forces you to learn the concepts. She goes quick in lecture, this will be hard for some.

Comment:

I failed her class the first time around, and TBH, it was my own fault. That said, Eva's teaching technique is intentionally spare, you're going to have to do the thinking for yourself. Most of what she's talking about requires DOING the work, not theoretical lead up. She's a good prof, but she won't hold your hand.

Eva is just amazing! She is very helpful, and demands that you pay attention and learn. She will give you respect, if you show respect to her class.

Comment:

Eva is a special breed. She is a FANTASTIC teacher only IF you are there to learn. She knows her stuff and she will prove that every day. If you are in her class to fool around, you're wasting your time. She demands respect and there is nothing wrong with that.

Comment:

She didn't tolerate people who wanted to be babysat, there comes a time where you have to figure out how to do stuff on your own and she encouraged that. If you can't independently learn then you've no business being a sysadmin, especially a linux sysadmin. I also thought her lectures were very straight forward and useful.

Comment:

Not helpful if you do not struggle to find the answer yourself - she once told me that the reason she does not help is because when you are working in the field, you are the one who has to go off on your own and find the answers. I learned more in her class than almost all others. Very cute, too.

Comment:

Maybe she has changed in the last few years. But now she is very uncaring, ignorant to students needs and if she is having a bad day will take it out on the students(esp during lab). She also will change the marking schemes for labs when she feels like it. I do not suggest anyone take this woman's lab class.

Comment:

Eva's lectures are very dull, and her assistance in labs is VERY lacking. Be prepared to read through hundreds of man pages because you won't get answers from her ever. That said, very polite and if you show respect she will as well.

She knows her stuff, but has unreasonable expectations. It also feels like she looks down on students that don't understand Linux. Get off your Linux high-horse(penguin?).

If you want to get help from her, show respect in the class at all times. If you goof around at all, you will not get any attention from her. Good Assignments

Not the easiest course/teacher. An 'A' is achievable if you put in the effort.
