Absolutely loved this professor. I would highly recommend going to her office hours. She offered extra credit for attending sections and an extra 10 points on the final for completing a wireshark lab in the final week. This was my favorite upper div CS course I have taken so far, and she is my favorite professor I have had.

Took Prof. Belding's course in 2019 Spring. I have to say she is one of the best professors I met before. She has made the lecture material very interesting and well-organized, and she is also a super patient and supportive professor. Besides, she is a very big name in computer networks, but you can always find her in her office hours.

Prof Belding is one of the best lecturers I have had as a senior CS undergrad and it's obvious she cares about teaching the course. Lectures are structured in a way that makes it easy to understand new concepts and I recommend attending lectures as the content is pretty interesting. Tests are fair and follow the lectures and HW very closely.

Belding is a great lecturer and teaches complex material well. The assignments are fair and there are SO many extra credit opportunities offered (ex. attending section, watching videos, lab for grade bump on final). She wants you to succeed. I'm a senior and this was the first CS class that I found really interesting and engaging. Would recommend!

Professor Belding is super nice and very accessible outside of class. Lectures can get a little boring, but I mostly enjoyed them. As long as you go to class and listen, it shouldn't be too difficult, though the last lab definitely took extra time. Gives lots of opportunities to ask questions in/out of class.

not a very good or nice professor. dont know if she is still employed but maybe, based on what she did to me, i should have gotten her fired when i had the chance.
