She's a great teacher. Lectures are in-depth. However, they are slow paced and are really boring.

CS354 is a pretty easy, very useful, and engaging course. Everything is laid out very clearly, and the projects are well put together. I thought Hina's lectures were some of the best lectures I've ever had. I also enjoyed the packets that came with each one.
