Okay yeah she's disorganized, goes on tangent that are sometimes useful but as long as you read the lectures you'll be fine. *My exam were mostly multiple choice it could be different for next quarter*

Cindy is a very nice person; however, as all the other ratings indicate, the lectures left me more confused about the course material than with a deeper understanding. The course felt organized in the most chaotic way possible. Canvas was hard to navigate, but Cindy is very understanding and friendly. Unsure what my grade will be going into finals.

I honestly have never had a worse teacher. She is a nice person, but she goes on tangents, repeats unnecessary things, makes useless analogies, and makes so many mistakes you leave more confused. There is no organization. I usually think these ratings are hoaks but by god this one was true. Class is pretty easy but so insufferable.

Really awful at lectures as most agree. I found once I started teaching myself the material rather than going to class I actually learned it better. Also the way she grades on Canvas is genuinely the most complicated and confusing thing I've ever encountered and I still have no clue what my grade is before the final next week.

Cindy is a very nice person, but her lectures do not make any sense. I often found that I was more confused when I went to lecture rather than when I just taught myself the material. The sections are pretty redundant. Definitely the worst class I have taken here, would not recommend.

Very unorganized and chaotic class but the workload is so light and the TAs go over the homework in section. Personally, I thought she was so entertaining and silly but if you want a more organized professor she isn't the best choice. Final was a choice between short paper or video on topic of your choice and midterm was short multiple choice.
