Comment:
She has the knowledge to teach Java, but seems to not know the best order to teach it in & speeds ahead of the students. Taught array based queues/stacks and didn't touch on LinkedList based queues/stacks but still gave a project based similarly to LinkedList queues. Gave a week to learn JavaFX in-depth with only 3 lectures & little documentation.

Comment:
Best teacher in department. This class is harder than previous courses because you have to learn the fundamental data structures and it isn't simply repeating back something off a powerpoint slide. If you put the work in, you will pass and be better for it. If you cheat through homework, you're setting yourself up for failure on tests.

I loved Dr. Liu! One of the best professors I have ever had! You can tell that she really cared about her students and their progress. She did assign a fair amount of assignments, but I think they really helped contribute to my understanding. I never felt like any of them were pointless!

Dr. Liu knows the material very well and is very good at walking through the concepts in the class. There is a lot of homework but the best way to learn to code is practice. Do the assignments and you'll come out of it having learned what you need to.

The tests are worth 50% of your grade and they are the hardest tests you'll ever take. Many people take this class twice because of that.

Comment:
Dr. Liu is known for giving a lot of homework. She is also known for caring about how well her students are doing. She puts a lot of effort into her lectures and is flexible with due dates. In larger classes like CS265 this is hard to manage, but if you get her in a smaller class like this one, her strong points shine through better.

Dr. Liu was very nice and tried to help as much as possible. Sometimes she could not understand the question you were trying to ask. TA did most of the grading, and was not hard on you. Lots of assignments, but they are fairly easy.

Comment:
The most boring class I have ever taken in my life was taught by this professor. She literally walks into class, puts a powerpoint up on the projector, stands right in front of the screen, and reads word for word what is on the powerpoint slide. Every day. No surprise that she can't answer students questions. Bring a pillow to class.

Dr. Liu was a very good professor. She really does care about her students. Lets you make up late work! If you really enjoy this class and are interested in the subject then it can be an easy course. DO NOT SKIP CLASS!! you will be left behind. Exams can be difficult so study harder than you ever have! Do not be lazy and find code online. Learn it!

I had Dr. Liu for Computer Science II where we covered C++. I didn't think the class was too difficult. There were multiple assignments to do that went over what you learn in lecture. I thought she made things easy to understand and would explain things if people didn't understand them.

Dr. Liu was very nice and helpful. She grades very easily and makes sure you get 100% on her quizzes. She extends assignments if needed and accepts late work. Overall she is a great teacher who cares about her students learning the material and passing the class instead of going by generic classroom rules. Her class is an easy A.
