She absolutely abhors Java yet seems to know little about it.  The class is supposed to be for Java programmers.  If you have only taken 302 and 367, it may be a good idea to try out C++ a bit on your own first.  Otherwise, this is a good class to take to brush up on your C++, except with a different professor.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/617842","quality_rating":2.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:27:32.954132+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTE0MDc1NDMy","source_instructor_id":"rmp:617842","instructor_name":"Karen Miller","course_label":"CS368","course_id":"COMPSCI 368","course_uid":"course_37a551eb9007bebe6a41c6b3","review_date":"2008-02-06 13:35:48 +0000 UTC","comment":"Taught "C++ for Java Programmers".

He provides clear and detailed assignment writeups which help you apply the weekly lecture topics in C++. I stopped showing up to lectures and just learned the syntax on the fly.

This class pairs well with CS354 in one semester. Projects weren't always graded quickly, but he understands and is fair about it.

Although he's a nice guy, he's the most disorganized instructor I've ever had. Each week he gives us approximate dates we can expect grades/assignments to be released by, and he consistently goes days--if not WEEKS--past those dates.

But the class itself is designed poorly. Contents require much more than one lecture per week to cover, but the course still demands your understanding. Have to figure out most things on your own.
