CollegeNice teacher, lectures are a bit boring, and she goes pretty slow, you can learn everything from the slides and youtube, which is pretty helpful. No midterms, just 4 quizzes and a final, and she replaces your bottom 2 quizzes with the final. Not a difficult class just do well on the quizzes.
Amazing lectures, great homework, good quizzes, definitely heavier on the tests. Mock exam is one of the greatest experiences in the course. Some grading discrepancies that come at the TA level. Very knowledgeable professor, one of the gems of the department. Definitely take a class with her if you can .
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.
He is super nice. Highly recommand.
Awesome professor and great lectures. Homework varied on the week, sometimes it was very hard, but grading was fair (after TA's were told to grade less harsh). The lab was fun :)
ChE 5 is a super good introduction to the major, and Chada is the perfect professor to introduce you to the department. He's caring, funny, accessible, and really just fun to talk to. There was a lot of homework, but attempting it all is really what counts.
