Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
The course use autograders for lab projects without giving any documentation. You have to guess how they implement features though it is impossible to do so in android development. The exams also contain physics content.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
She has great slides and made the content easy to understand. People misconstrue the class being a intro/weed out with her teaching but she is better than some of the other professors for sure.

She just randomly made cs300 exams harder than the last semester for no apparent reason, she also wasn't very helpful in office hours.

I think a lot of people grade Mouna harshly because cs300 is a weed out class and many find it difficult. while the workload is heavy, Mouna gives good tips and her slides/lectures are extremely helpful. she is also very available during office hours. CS300 not a free class and Mouna can sometimes be difficult to understand, but overall a good prof
