She really knows her material, and can teach it very effectively. It is a hard class and you have to spend a lot of time to learn, but she is always there to support your learning. Solid choice 100%, can't go wrong with her.Rate My Professors ↗

Andrea organizes her lecture really well. She knows exactly what concepts and difficult for students to understand and focuses on them multiple times in her lectures. Her lecture videos are amazing, a great help before the exam. Assignments are difficult and time consuming but they help you learn a lot.Rate My Professors ↗
The lecture wasn't very riveting, but they were helpful and the content necessary to learn was conveyed well. She also puts lectures online and the book is the BEST textbook I've ever had. HIGHLY recommend reading it. Projects weren't too bad, definitely get a project partner. This is a class I felt I learned something useful and interesting.Rate My Professors ↗
Andrea is a really nice lady who seems to care about students and is passionate about systems programming but the content is dry and power lectures can be hard to sit through. Luckily she uploads the lectures and the slides are grade. Her exams are fair but the projects are pretty time consuming but she curves for themRate My Professors ↗
Nice lady but dry lectures. Often giggles and mumbles when speaking, uploads lec videos, which makes you less motivated to go to her lectures. Overall, a better than average professor.Rate My Professors ↗
