Tons of pop quizzes! And the workload is extremely heavy.

Well, well, well. Where should I start? If I am going to be completely honest with you, I like her lectures. The material was easy, there were two make-up quizzes, many extra-credit opportunities, and she was a sweet professor. I can definitely see how people with no coding experiences can struggle in this class, but personally, I like her.

She was so bad and try your best to avoid her if you have other choices.

Prof.K' s class, as she claimed herself this ridiculous name, was also ridiculous. Every time I expected her to talk about something that was truly useful, she disappointed me. The final's instructions were also ridiculous and unclear. Every time I opened my computer in the morning, I cannot help to questioning my life choice.

Anyone who has any difficulty in this class needs to consider a new major because you probably don’t have what it takes to make it in this field. Prof K was a good teacher but even if she wasn’t this class is a cake walk.

Does not care about her students and very pop quiz heavy, final was unnecessarily hard

I took a screenshot of Prof. K and made it my background cus she’s a baddie.

Im gonna be honest with all of you, Professor K is not bad. She is a great Professor, its just us as students that we don't put as much time as we're supposed to. YES, I won't lie the final requires a little too much for an introductory course, but aside from that, if you do what you're supposed to and dedicate time, you will succeed in her class.

Would recommend taking online/community college. She does not teach entire class is taken via an online textbook. She also does not allow emails to herself.

If you have to take this class for a major requirement, do NOT take it with prof K. and do an online course instead. This class demands too much for an introductory course. Pop quizzes and extremely difficult labs each week are very stressful. Dont recommend.

Yekaterina is an amazing woman and wonderful teacher. She stays on my mind long after class and is a positive influence on my life. I aspire to be more like her

Some people will notice all the fake reviews WE keep having this problem. WILL professor k address any of the problems that have been going on in class? Either way the incentive for bonus credits for when we WIN pop quizzes is a good bonus!

My life often feels vacant and I find difficulty in simple tasks like eating and cleaning. If I had it my way I would spend the whole day laying in bed in a dark room. Prof K is a spark of light in the dark and gives me hope that as long as there’s people like her this is a life worth living. A lot of pop quizzes though

If I could choose between going to our local Disney California Adventure for free or go to CMPSCW8 for a full tuition cost I would choose going to CMPSCW8 without a doubt. I hate amusement parks but still this class is the most fun I have had in a long time. Plus you learn which is a nice bonus

Don’t be tricked by all the bad fake reviews saying all the good reviews are fake. Prof K is a helpful, caring, compassionate, and skilled professor that goes the extra mile to help all of her students learn all that they need to.

Not the worst teacher I had. Would recommend.

This is my third time taking Dr.k's class now. One of the best teachers I've ever had. Always there when I need help and very informative with the answers she's given. The GitHub to all of her test questions including the answers was a real help the second time taking the class. If anyone needs help just ask Luke.

Really wish you had to verify that you are in a class to review the professor. There’s no way that all these people leaving the bad reviews ever had a class with Prof K because she is the most helpful and professional teacher I’ve ever had.

gud

It’s so funny reading some of these reviews. So obvious that none of these kids have ever taken a college level course before and think that a real professor will hold your hand like a high school teacher. If you think it’s to hard, it’s not because of Prof K, it’s because you might not have any talent.

If you're struggling in the class you should just drop out. Dr.K practically gives you an A for showing up. I'm not sure what all of these negative reviews are about.

Uses Zybooks for everything which is way easier than her project and quizzes. Time limit for quizzes is very low. Stay away if you have never coded. Class gets very hard and zybooks/lectures do not prepare. Lectures are mandatory and not planned out. No actual teaching goes on. Wait til a diff professor is teaching.

Keep posting fake reviews, so funny. Terrible professor, should not be allowed to teach. She is rude and acts nice but i do not think she likes teaching. Points off for asking questions during final but does not answer them anyway. Labs/quizzes and project not like anything else. Lectures are just slides, does not actually teach.

An amazing professor with engaging lessons. The major downside is a lot of the other people in the class tend to be lazy crybabies that expect to be given perfect grades without ever trying. I feel bad for Prof K for having to deal with kids like this
