I was a T.A, not a student, and she is a liberalist, midway between mundane and creative, 20 years ago. She displays amazing intelligence for a human , and has deciphered some truths correctly, like that humans have not evolved beyond the yeast, still stuck in Judeo-Cristian spiritualities of bread and wine, both based on yeast, sucking!Rate My Professors ↗
Bach is still in charge of the homework and tests, but Joseph teaches off of wiki pages and has no idea what she's doing.Rate My Professors ↗
Good lecturer. Knows what she's talking about; answers questions well. The biggest flaw with this class was letting Eric Bach have a say in what went on the quizzes. Some of the quizzes were unrelated to class material&the questions weren't worth thinking about as they won't be used in CS, ever. questions on all material were convoluted to the maxRate My Professors ↗
I thought Deb made a good effort to teach the material in a way that was easy to understand and easy to refer to in the future (using free online resources and textbooks). She does lecture a bit slow at times, but it is very clear. She's also very knowledgeable about extendedrelated topics if you talk to her after class or during office hours.Rate My Professors ↗
Totally chill class (although lectures get boring sometimes). Really super easy A with this prof.Rate My Professors ↗
Thought she was very clear in explaining the concepts and the logic was followable. Exams aren't very long so missing a few questions can set you back more.Rate My Professors ↗
