College3 midterms & 3 projects. Content is easy to understand, very basic Python. Practice through homework and lab assignments. Like one tricky question on each quiz, but overall easy. Offers extra credit at the end of each quiz. First two projects instructions and criteria straightforward. Last one was confusing. Understanding & often gave extensions.
I knew javascript basics coming into the class, so it wasn't difficult for me. She explains everything well though and cares about answering questions. Tests have some random curveballs and projects are structured wierd. The final project used a stupid broken autograder.
Truly terrible professor, you will hate computer science after this. Her entire course is teaching yourself from an interactive online work book that you have to pay $80 for. Re-took this class with a different professor and got an A+. AVOID PROF K.
Very! Bad! It is very hard to get A, even if you have made a lot of efforts in this course.
Save yourself. She's awful at teaching. Midterm average was 66% ☠️.
Great prof! She's super sweet and is great at answering questions and giving clarification. Strongly recommend if you're planning to take CS8.
