3 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.

Prof K is by far the best CS professor I've had. Teaches very clearly during lectures, uses I-clicker. Materials are structured to help students visualize codes (using graphs) to make it easier to understand the way the codes run step by step. Form a study group, make sure to do the assigned readings, and practice self-explaining concepts.

Professor Kharitonova's CMPSC9 class can be challenging, but manageable if you stay on top of the labs and use resources like the textbook and office hours. I found unstuck ai to be a helpful study tool alongside the class materials. Overall, it's a rewarding course if you're willing to put in the effort.

Terrible. Do not take this class with her if you could help it.

Absolutely terrible professor. Doesn't respond to emails at all. The amount of work is almost impossible and you'll be spending all your time on this class alone so hopefully your other classes are easy. It's also most likely she's using fake accounts with fake positive reviews to boost her score on here so beware.

Nice lady but there's so much homework for an intro class. Material is delivered way too fast and there's way too much work. Grading isn't really fair and not forgiving either. She's also really suspicious of cheating so be careful. Final proj took forever and was pretty pointless because it entailed a bunch of advanced features, you had to fill in
