Collegeshe is so nice. most csw8 classes follow the same format which were just zybooks, weekly quizzes, and a final project. you can tell she cares and is passionate about teaching the subject.
Online during the summer. The work was very doable and was always available for help during office hours. One short quiz every week with plenty of time to take it and online textbook assignment due every week on Sunday. Mandatory sections. Final is group project
Shes awesome. Genuinely cares for her students.
Diba is a wonderful professor! You are so lucky to have her! Talk to her during office hours, she is a gem.
Mirza is the best professor ever. She makes material easy to understand, especially for those who have never been exposed to coding. She is very accessible outside of class and loves to help in any way she can. The projects and labs were interesting and I really felt this class gave me a solid foundation. Her lectures are full of excitement!
I took CS8 with Mirza, took CS16 with Costanzo, and now taking CS24 with Mirza again. I missed her. She is way better than Costanzo. Costanzo's class also left me underprepared for CS24, I'm having to review things he never mentioned. Myself and everyone I know recommend taking Mirza for as much of the introductory series as you can.
