Tests are so difficult

Taking CS16 with this professor was frustrating. Her lectures were disorganized, full of typos, and hard to follow. Her exams were way too long, had errors, and felt impossible to finish. If you have another option, take it. This class felt like a setup for failure rather than a chance to learn.

Both her biweekly quizzes and homework are not the easiest but her office hours help immensely. She really does care a lot about her students, to the point where she extended her office hours by two hours into 10:30 pm once. Very open to requests for homework/quiz deadlines and willing to help.

Honestly Majedi, is a great professor and usually has a lot of good TAs and ULAs. Went to office hours multiple times for help on the labs and went to lectures which made the course honestly pretty easy by just doing that. Only thing was she wasn't really available herself during her office hours it was mostly the TAs and ULAs.

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.

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.

Lectures are confusing, disorganized, and sleep-inducing. I learned more from the 50 minute section than I learned in 2.5 weekly hours of lecture. Get ready to teach yourself most of the content because she won't. I will say her TAs are pretty good so definitely take advantage of that. But don't expect much from Majedi herself.

Do not take her if you can. She does not teach anything, and it feels like she doesn't even know what she's teaching half the time. She makes typos when lecturing and can't comprehend why the code doesn't run. The grading system is horrendous. Supposed to be intro class but she teaches it like we experts. Need to know more CS than her to get an A.

Her lectures are not well prepared you are looking at hard quizzes every single class on topics that you she only talked very briefly about(10min). Homework and lectures are not in sync. Very hard exams, time pressing and no curve. Relying her TA and ula to set up the course entirely also shows her incompetence.

Worst comp sci professor Ive had yet. Boring lectures that don't relate to homework and seemingly tries to make the class harder than it needs to be. avoid at all costs

not good no no no no no
