Ashley was really nice and a great professor. She is very smart and knows exactly what she is talking about. Not too much homework and replies to piazza posts very quickly

CS400 is structured a little strange with the class switching between data structures and seemingly random topics, but Ashley does a great job of explaining the material. Highly recommend taking the class with her.

GOAT. By far one of the best professors I've had at UW. I've honestly been quite disappointed with the overall teaching quality here in previous semesters, but Ashley completely changed that for me. She is the reason I see real hope in this school. An absolute must-take.

A really great professor. Her slides and notes are very detailed and she explains concepts clearly. She is also very responsive to emails and piazza questions after class and always willing to help.
