Kind prof, but has poor teaching methods and some of the least intuitive slideshows ive ever seen. In class participation is mandatory for all 3 hours as she requires a code for participation and does several in class activities. Assignments/diagrams have unclear expectations and the marking is very harsh. Multi-select questions too

Took her during the summer for ITM305 and didn't learn a single thing. She is so difficult to understand because of her very strong accent and is not clear explaining anything. The slides are a complete mess so good luck trying to teach it to yourself. Wasted my summer

Weekly Labs and Assignments are harshly marked, you need to study a lot for this course to do remotely decent on midterm and final. She is a decent communicator though.

The most boring professor ive ever had.

multiple choice/multi select questions on the final and midterm are SO ambiguous. you have to work quickly on the assignments or you'll run out of time. AI grading was annoying because you will most likely never get full marks on any written question. lectures go for the full 3 hours, and sometimes she won't even finish in that time.

Terrible prof, uses ai to grade but doesnt let us use ai for anything, makes no sense!

Man bun this AI grader she uses for assignments and quizzes. For one of the assignments it literally showed the prompt for the rubric that AI is basing it's marks off, like what words to include and the concepts. I literally followed that and the AI grader gave me a 66. I Also missed some of the surveys because there from a different email account

she cool but her tests and lectures are buns

Horrible, worst professor in the whole university, makes the UML diagrams so overcomplicated to learn with very vauge and useless powerpoint slides with no feedback on assignements. The exams are much harder than other profs aswell. Take with Ray Moss never take with her or ur gpa will tank, you've been warned.

I can't lie, I had a really good experience. She's honestly chill, replies to emails pretty quickly with what to study, etc. I'm not the smartest person, but she genuinely made this course easy if you attended the lectures, she gives you examples in class too so idk how you go wrong. Overall, she's super solid. People are dramatic tbh.
