She is one of the best professors in the CS department. Failling this class was my fault.

Easy enough class. Exams could be aced by pure intuition and a little bit of prep without even attending lecture. Labs took a lot of work but there were a few which were genuinely fun and interesting.

CMPSC24 . Mirza D 6 Months Ago

She includes Leetcode, a mock interview, and a project related to neural network in the course. Leetcode doesn't take much time, Mock interview is almost a completion grade, neural network project is mostly done and you do some shallow parts, but from these materials you can tell she's trying to help you out in your future study and career in CS.

CMPSC8 . Mirza D 6 Months Ago

Her lectures were really helpful and clearly outlined. Some of the labs and projects required a lot of outside consultation because the lecture material wasn't as advanced as the assignments. The only grading criteria was the homework, labs, project, and final, and there were no midterms, which was nice.

Another quarter, another set of classes with Chada. First quarter design is always a punch to the gut, but I did appreciate the lectures given and honestly Chada is a great professor for anything that needs to be taught and applied.
