Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
Excellent lecturer. Superb relevance and clarity in covered material, and even more impressive--she gets rooms full of stodgy male comp sci majors to get up and play with toys and make silly noises. Thoroughly enjoyable. Class requires a fair amount of work, but all is appropriate.
