Collegerun. her class is way to hard for a supposed beginner class and she doesnt gaf about her students. ive never had a worse professor at ucsb
No one shows up to lecture and its no surprise why. The speed and the constant assumptions that we know what to do is tiring. I would like to ask questions but I am so confused that you dont know where to start. On top of this they were very late posting the answer key for the final which is absurd. If you dont go to office hours you're cooked.
This has been one of the worst experiences I have had with a class at UCSB. Professor Solis barley lectures, she talks at you as if you already know the material and moves way too fast for a beginner coding class. I went to lectures but I still had to teach myself every concept before the midterm/final. Communication was awful and disappointing.
took her for CS9 and she just copies lecture off of Richert Wang. instead of having a lesson plan she reads off his lectures and whenever she is stuck copying notes due to a mistake she made she turns to her students for help. she is very nice but always feels distant, her practice midterm and final are not very helpful to study off of
The professor is caring and nice but he lectures are very fast-paced and it feels like she is just talking about the material rather than actually teaching it. Although this class is supposed to be a beginner-friendly class for people with no coding experience, it doesn't feel that way at all. I don't recommend it!
Solis changes the syllabus of this course to make it much much more difficult than before. She changes the midterm project and final project into examinations! RUN!!!
