CollegeProfessor Majedi is super charismatic and entertaining. You will easily pass this class as there is no homework or exams. You will get randomly called on in class to answer questions. I would take another class taught by her just to be in her presence.
This is the first five stars I've given. She deserves a much higher overall rating. She puts in so much extra time and is always available. She's the only professor I've had where it was obvious that students learning was her top priority. Great person although can come off as cold. Participate in class and some out of class and it will be great
I do not recommend professor.
Class was pretty difficult, lectures were average, midterm and final were fair. You need to put in a lot of effort to get an A in my opinion.
Great professor, if you particpate in class. She awards participation, and it is super easy to just show up to lecture and listen. She really cares about her students, especially the ones that will put in the effort. That is all you have to do for this class. Put in effort and learn and you will get an A. She deserves a higher overall rating
Made the class 10x harder than it should be for a intro c++ class. Midterms were difficult and the averages on the first two midterms were under 65%. She offers a 3% grade boost if you attend all lectures and office hours, but ur grade will be cooked no matter what. Avoid her at all costs.
