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.

I went into this class with minimal prior programming experience and achieved an A, it is possible. 65% of your grade is the midterm and final. These are handwritten, timed, stressful exams. The key to performing well is to start practicing handwritten code weeks before the exam, specifically redoing the practice tests she administers in class.

Homework was biweekly zyBooks (which cost $64) & weekly packets (last 3 were very long, & TAs' grading could be a bit nitpicky). Majedi gave handouts to annotate for each lecture (we could bring 3 to the final). No midterm, just biweekly open-note online quizzes. Final was very manageable time/content-wise, as she asked TAs & students for feedback.

While the course itself was really hard, it is still very doable if you keep up with the material. Majedi isn't the best lecturer and the structure of the sections could be better, but she was kind enough to curve the class in the end by 2 letter grades which really saved my grade.
