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.Rate My Professors ↗

Past student reviews · Hina Mahmood
Hina Mahmood taught engaging lectures where she explained difficult concepts with helpful examples, though one student found the fill-in worksheets and asynchronous catch-up videos frustrating. Projects were lengthy and required starting early. Some students described exams as fair and mostly theoretical, while another noted they were trivia multiple-choice questions with too much weight on tests.
