Lectures were mostly useless. Every time I emailed her a question it turned into a conversation because she couldn't give a straight answer.

She just reads the slides in a more slower and monotone way. It's hard to pay attention for that reason.

Comment:
She is a nice person, but not a good teacher. Her examples make absolutely no sense with the way she presents them (just writes on board and does not explain it, constantly erases things while writing the example and jumbles it all up). The content itself you can learn on your own because frankly, she doesn't teach it well.

Not the best lecturer, but as with most things in computer science you will do better if you learn the material yourself. Gives very easy exams.

Lectures were somewhat boring, but more at fault of the course material than the professors herself. Gave in class example, and assignments and exam closely followed lecture notes and assignment questions

Comment:
I took Dr. Moura to gain a credit for CSI2110 and not learn anything. Everything I learned was either from the textbook, or from online resources. It's unfortunate that she is the only one available to teach this course. If you're stuck with her, best advice would be to go through : mycodeschool's channel on youtube.

The class is way easier than MAT1348, however, it is still challenging. The lectures are completely useless and we were lucky we had such a great TA who really helped us during the DGD (3 Thais). I attended maybe 3 lectures because she is just so boring and so confusing. Try to take the class with someone else if you can.

Lectures were not helpful, she doesn't explain anything clearly.. pretty useless.. DGD/Tutorials were all the help you got, all textbook questions... quizzes at the end of each one. Exams were based off of old one... Got old midterms but no old exams... hard course to begin with, need to study and understand everything.. either get it or you don't

lecture useless, went only once. she is a strictly marker, but tests are not nightmare, at least I felt so. It is hard, but study it then you will find it is doable. tests are from lecture, labs and assignments, no random things. for this course, you have to study hard.

I personally found her unclear during her lectures. She would often present with her back to the class blocking material, and go off on unnecessary tangents. She is a very smart woman who is also very caring about her class however she is not good at efficiently conveying the content to the class. Another prof could have delivered it better.

She's a nice person, but she doesn't communicate information very well. Her examples are neither explained nor presented clearly. I suggest taking this course with another professor if at all possible.

Lucia Moura is by far one of the worse profs at uOttawa. Very unorganized, she will bombard you with emails about last minute changes and clarifications. If you can avoid then I highly recommend that you avoid her.

She makes no sense whatsoever. Not only does she murmur everything, she goes off on random trails off thought that make it hard to follow what she's even trying to say.

Useless. Stop wasting my money. She doesn't explain much in class, murmurs throughout. She gets everything from turcotte guy. Doesn't even has her own notes. How does she live with herself?I am learning from online videos from other uni. worries about having students in class, if she was any good everyone would have been in class. Karma will getyou

She is a bad lecturer. But really nice person, easy marker too. Ask for help she will almost give you the answer. Assignments were worth 30% so take advantage. Never went to class but it was a huge risk, wouldn't do that again.

Unclear teaching and explanation, struggled to follow. I ended up reading and learning from book and slides. Very supportive and helpful outside of class if you have questions about topics, assignments, midtermfinal.
