Dr. Lin is a great professor. You have to study for her class!!!! She really cares about her students. You have to understand all the concepts and learn how to apply in read world cases as that's how exams are tested. Took her both for ITM305 and ITM415 ended up A grade in both. If you don't want to study, then she is not a right prof. for you.

I do not recommend this professor. Her slide shows make me wonder why I pay tuition; her tests are terribly formatted, and she makes learning the course unbearable. I've had her 2 years in a row and wonder why I didn't switch out the second time. Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Agree with everything the person below said + She literally doesn't post any announcements on d2l, she's incredibly disorganized. There was a survey for bonus marks alot of people missed because it was never mentioned on the syllabus or d2l. She uses AI to grade (results in random point deductions) 1 of BTM's bottom 5 profs. GPA tanker, DO NOT TAKE

Lectures are a snooze-fest, lasting the full 3 hours, and don't help much at all. There's a locked quiz every week. She makes assignments due at random times, like 1pm or 9:40pm, I missed several the first 2 weeks. TA/Prof is a tough grader, and there are unrealistically TIMED assignments. Exams have ambiguous questions & poor grammar. Avoid!

She's so BAD that I will give her a review on both her RMP pages. If there was anything that I would never do in my life is probably not take her ever again. She teaches other courses too and I went out of my way to take the other prof for that course instead of her. AVOID her if you can othewise accept your doomed fate

Honestly was not a lot of help when it came to understanding core material within this course. None of her slides properly taught us how to execute the necessary diagrams. Every lecture took all 3 hours, and there was a weekly quiz at the end of each lecture. In general, not a lot of help when it came to the assignments.

She's nice but her english is poor and her accent makes it harder to understand or stay engaged for 3 hours entirely online. She gives in-class and after-class quizzes that have some tricky questions, so it's not entirely easy to get 100% for participating, you would need to have solid notes and understanding to get full marks there.

If it's impossible to get an A in your class, you've failed as a prof. The fact that the 2 positive riding reviews only got a B/B+ is all you need to know lmao. The course itself is hard and is set to fail you which is annoying.

The professor gets a bad reputation for the most part, the class is difficult due to unclear guidelines regarding the marking of the assignments but she is a compassionate professor that knows the material extremely well, and isn't impervious in understanding that courses are tough. Therefore if you're on the cusp of failing, she will help.

people make this professor seem like she's horrible but if you study 1 hour a day and do the assignments the way she wants there should be no reason to struggle. That being said the midterm had lots of trick questions with similar answers making it hard to get a good mark but the final was wayyyy easier. Assignments are easy 100% if you listen.
