Selected Student Feedback

"I really enjoyed the organized structure of the course because it made me much more productive in the class than usual."

"I genuinely enjoyed this course very much. I was very nervous about learning another programming language after I had such a difficult time learning Python last semester. But, the instructor taught the material in a very easy-understanding way that made SQL seem less intimidating. Not only did she teach us well, but she was excellent in doing so. I am glad to have taken this class under her instruction."

"I really liked that she cared for her students in many ways besides academically, and she was very accommodating."

"The way the instructor used step-by-step instructions and had us go along with her was really helpful for me. She was always willing to answer questions in the middle of the lecture and made sure we understood the answers before moving on, which I really appreciated. The visualization and mapping portion of the class made me consider going into that field when I graduate, so I am thankful I had an informative and helpful teacher to introduce this topic to me!"
