The course itself is very intense. Carolina's lectures can be a bit hard to understand or confusing, but then again the entire course is difficult. Thankfully all the required material is given with a free online textbook(cisco netcad). She isn't that bad of a prof, at the end of the day you just need to make sure your understanding the material.

First day i couldnt understand a thing due to her accent and thats when i lost track! I tried, but she wasnt accessible outside classes. She wants you to study for more than 6/7 hours a day for her subject??? Is that even a thing? The material is huge, so if you are 10mins late, you wont understand whats happening in class, had a C- so i dropped

Great prof, gives engaging lectures but expects you to be engaged as well. If you come to class prepared to learn and you show you're ready to work hard, you'll do well.

Honestly, she's the best prof here. All the bad ratings for her come from stupid and lazy butthurt losers. If you can't make it through her class, you can't make it out in the real world. She explains in detail everything you need to know. Her notes are very well put-together, concise and on point. This class will take up more time than the rest.

Carolina is very passionate for C programming. If you do not show that you are willing to work hard and to be just as passionate for C, you will have a hard time. Show up to class, do the work well in advance. A lot of this class is trial and error, as there are many topics covered, you need to manage your time to succeed.

definitely a tough marker, but i appreciate that when i'm working towards a career in a field i enjoy. you have to earn your marks but she rewards hard work and despite her jokes she will sit down and explain anything to anyone if they don't get it. its not an easy class, but if you wanna make a career in the industry, you'll appreciate the class.

Excellent teacher. Really knows her stuff. The labs and assignments are really tough, but they are very engaging. She wants you to take something away from the semester. This class will make anyone a better programmer. Show up to class, ask questions, take notes, and you will do well!

Worst teacher I've ever had. Expects us to know things never taught. Gives unreasonably hard labs, quizzes, tests and assignments. Gets pleasure off of the failure of her students. Class average is in the 50s and her response is telling us to drop the course and/or program. Has no right to be a teacher. I pray for her future students' survival.

Never wanted to not show up to a class more than i do with hers. Not only because i don't like coming to class, but because her negativity towards her students is just unbearable sometimes. She comes off as rude and too straight forwards with everyone and expects us to know everything asap..

If you're thinking about taking her class, don't. She'll fail you because you have a tab in the wrong place. Marks terribly, hates her students, and a group of us aaare dropping out because of her. Nice to see Algonquin keeps their teaching standards high with her terrible teaching methods.

Worst teacher I've ever head the dissatisfaction. She thinks you know all the content THAT YOU'RE LEARNING THAT DAY before class. Her notes are next to useless, because the labs and assignments cover things not taught in either her theory or labs. Barely speaks or writes usable English. Told a class "if you can't do this, drop out". The worst.

Sometimes her accent causes ambiguity, but it makes her class more interesting. She did a pretty good job, jsut needed to start easier, and save the harder stuff till the end. Funny attitude, just show you are working hard, and she will work hard to help. Easy on the eyes ;)

She will not give you marks unless you earn them. She will help if you can show you've been doing work, and attempting. One of my favorite profs, just make sure that you do your work, show up to lecture, and ask her for help when you need it. Also be prepared for a lot of yeahs

She really tries to help the students with extra review times near the end of the term. Material and tests are fair just make sure you go to lectures. She has a slight accent but still very understandable, plus she looks better then any other IT prof!

Very intelligent teacher. Very fair. If you show that you at least attempted to do your own work, she will help you. She shouldn't have to spoon feed you if you are at your final semester.
