MAJEDI M
She is caring, the exams were fair. Some homework may take a lot of time, do not be afraid to ask for extensions. Learned a lot through her class. Clear guidelines and requirements.
Prof. Majedi is ok at best. Her lectures aren't superb and the labs get super hard towards the end of the class, she ended up canceling the last 2 because everyone was doing so poorly. Tests require coding on paper, which always sucks. She gives extra credit for attendance, which helped me a lot. She gives unlimited OH time after lecture.
Having had a miserable time with Majedi for CS16 a year ago, I was glad to find that she had noticeably improved as a professor. Her lectures are still remarkably boring, but her grading and exam difficulty was more fair than in her CS16 course last year. I think I could have done well if the course content itself wasn't so challenging to grasp.
Not bad compared to the reviews
Trust me, do not take her
pretty good, however requires you to put in the hours on your own. If you feel like you understand the topics because it is easy, study a little more.
pretty rough professor, however she has improved from the last two quarters. If you want an A, you are going to have to put in the work. She does care about students, and the opinion of students, she is very sweet. Dont be afraid to talk to her.
I feel like with this being Majedi's 3rd time teaching CS16 she's definitely has given us a better time when it comes to how she's approaching the class with us. If you go to her for help she genuinely will try to help you, now for the midterm I feel like if you spent time doing the zybooks and going to lecture then the midterm was Lowkey ez.
Took this course last quarter. Not an easy course tbh especially for the beginners, but totally doable if you put tons of efforts in. Attendance is not mandatory, but you basically can get a curve if you attend most of her lectures. She is a very caring and sweet professor if you been to her office hour, and a very sweet person to talk with.
Don't take her class.
Only bad thing I would have to say is lectures were hard to follow. HW I thought was good at making you understand the concepts, but it is graded harshly so keep that in mind. OH were super helpful and if you want to boost your grade always cover the hws in OH. Tests are really easy if you know the material.
Very poor lectures that are full of mistakes and inconsistencies. She doesn't seem to understand the material well and it shows. Does not prepare you well and you will learn very little during lectures, even though most of the hw, slides, handouts are all taken from UCSD's CSE 20. The difficulty of the final was fair but expect to self study.
