It's long and boring and so are the projects and assignments. Nothing technical was learnt. It is completely a writing class. Plus, for the whole semester, we thought that 89 was the line for A. The professor told us that a grade over 95 is an A a week before the final.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2126212","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":1.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:01:15.133817+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTMwMDU4MDY3","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2126212","instructor_name":"Tracy Lewis-Williams","course_label":"CS570","course_id":"COMPSCI 570","course_uid":"course_8e330bc7deed0164dc8f9e2b","review_date":"2018-05-10 14:50:14 +0000 UTC","comment":"She means well, and knows what she's talking about, but lectures were typically her reading off of the prepared slides, which is disappointing at this level. Group projects typically required many questions from students to finally "flesh out" the requirements. An OK class overall, and not an easy A by any means.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2126212","quality_rating":2.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:01:15.133817+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI3MDc3NzA4","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2126212","instructor_name":"Tracy Lewis-Williams","course_label":"CS570","course_id":"COMPSCI 570","course_uid":"course_8e330bc7deed0164dc8f9e2b","review_date":"2016-10-25 17:58:10 +0000 UTC","comment":"There's a lot of work required to do well in this class, but if you put in the appropriate time for the group assignments/projects you will do well.  If you want a class with lots of hands-on work applying HCI concepts, this is the class for you.  Professor Lewis-Williams was informative, helpful and passionate about the material.

She really knows her stuff. This is a projects-based class, so get ready to work in groups! I really enjoyed the projects and it gave us a lot of opportunity to be creative with our interface designs. Some of the psychology material was dry, but otherwise it was super interesting and you learn a lot!","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2126212","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:01:15.133817+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI2NTAzMjcz","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2126212","instructor_name":"Tracy Lewis-Williams","course_label":"CS570","course_id":"COMPSCI 570","course_uid":"course_8e330bc7deed0164dc8f9e2b","review_date":"2016-05-08 10:57:05 +0000 UTC","comment":"Her lectures are long and boring. You could spend 10 mins looking looking through her online slides to get a sense of what she will talk about in 75 mins lecture. Normally half class show up on lectures and the materials are not very interesting. Readings are poorly formatted and hard to read.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2126212","quality_rating":3.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0}]
