Key questions
Is this an easy A?
High grades are possible for organized self-starters, but strict deadlines, tough grading, and heavy assignments make the A far from automatic.
Online reviews include both easy A comments and severe workload complaints, while in-person reviews suggest success comes from staying current with homework.
Is the course easy?
The material is manageable for independent learners but hard for beginners who need clearer instruction and support.
Online students more often describe self-teaching and confusing materials, while in-person students report a more structured learning experience.
Is attendance flexible?
Late work is repeatedly described as not accepted, making schedule flexibility low even when attendance itself is unclear.
Online reviews provide the strongest evidence of strict deadline policies, while in-person reviews emphasize being on time with homework.
Is this professor recommended?
She is recommended by independent students who like structured modules, but many others warn against her for poor support and feedback.
Online recommendation is very polarized and often negative, while in-person reviews are mostly positive but limited.

Course format
Classroom format
Medium confidence · Best fit for Effort For Reward
In-person reviews are mostly positive about structure, caring, and learning, but one review reports poor communication and delayed project information.
Main concern
Students may still need to be proactive and stay on schedule with homework.
What students said
“Teacher is very caring and willing to help students when they need help.”
“Be always on time with HW because you are building up the skills with each assignment.”
“Not a full time professor and do not provide a timely manner feedback.”
Remote format
High confidence · Best fit for Self Taught Pro
Online reviews are sharply divided, with strong praise for helpful modules from some students and severe criticism about weak support, slow grading, and textbook-driven teaching from others.
Main concern
The biggest risk is needing to teach yourself while receiving slow or unclear feedback.
What students said
“If you want to teach yourself code with zero support it's a great class for you.”
“If you're lazy or a procrastinator, you will suffer because she doesn't accept late work.”
“Assignments are difficult and tedious (5-10 hours).”
Exam style
Reviews mention quizzes and testing issues, but do not clearly prove open-book rules, webcam rules, proctoring, Lockdown Browser, midterm format, or final format.

“Unnecessary information in testing, featuring secret answers that you have to go diving for in the textbook she provides.”
“broken quizzes”
“The only drawbacks are the quizzes because you have to apply and understand instead of regurgitating.”
