Lol. She's very boring and half of lecture consists of her talking about random stuff or her personal life story. She takes forever to give back feedback for assignments, so you're left wondering: "am I going to pass or fail". She literally expects you to have "clean and efficient code" aka expects you to be a professional at programming. Mad Lazy

Do yourself a favor. Take another professor but not her. She really takes points away even if you have a few mistakes. Not inspirational. Take forever to give feedback. I don't even think she gives second chances for any assignments if you do wrong. Avoid her unless you think you are a genius!

She's a real gem at QC. I appreciate her willingness to help her students that are struggling with her class. For those who take her, make sure to attend her office hour if you have a question, because her office hours have helped me. She teaches well and she is funny. I strongly recommend taking her. At the same time, prepare to study hard.

Hands down a great professor. I was a bit skeptical based off the reviews but she explains the lectures clearly and If you pay attention, you'll do great. There were a few homeworks and quizzes but they're all based off problems that we do in lecture. Just make sure you answer the poll questions in class before she thinks you're making a sandwich

The class itself isnt very difficult. Professor is lazy and grades assignments very late. Besides that it isnt extremely difficult. Beware the final is very lengthy.

Good teacher, learned a good bit from her this semester. You go to her lectures, you'll basically pass the class without a problem. During reviews before tests and homework's, she'll pretty much feed you all the answers and layout. She values participation a lot- and she'll remember well whoever does participate. Bad handwriting tho, listen well.

She's great at explaining the topics and in a course like 313 that is essential. Dealing with a 6 week summer class AND having it all online she did everything to try and make the class as normal as possible. Plenty of extra credit opportunities and she was always there to answer any question we had. Incredibly nice person I would take her again.

Good lecturer, students should've known what they were expecting when taking a 313 6wk course. Gives enough extra credit for anyone to pass. She does fail you if you can't write a function or simple linkedlist. Those that failed just didnt want it enough.

She is the most unmotivated professor I have ever taken in Queens College. She will never gives you on-time feedback about your homework to know where you are standing. Super lazy. Don't take her if you want to remain motivated on your CS field. She is careless for everything, gives you nonsense answers. I will never ever take with her again.

She is a absolute sweetheart. Pay attention, respect her and she will treat you good. She literally helped me on the final and solve on a problem that I was stuck on. I was just to stupid to realize it. I would take other courses she teaches as well.

She is horrible. For me, She has been the worst cs professor so far. Pretty much everyone cheats in her class and she doesn't give a crap. She includes material on the exam that she never mentioned in class. Only time she took any measures to combat cheating was in the final. QC needs to hire a good prof for this class.

She is very caring and realistic, unlike a majority of CS profs at QC. She tries hard to make her points and make sure everyone is following and keeping up. However, on the exams there will be questions unlike anything she's shown us, and she is a very tough grader although curve at end of semester is generous enough to pass.

This fall semester wasn't the very best with Prof. Thompson. She constantly cancelled class and expected her students to learn the material that was posted on blackboard. Because she kept cancelling class, it was difficult having to pass her exams since she almost never mentioned what will be on the exam.

This became my favorite class. She doesn't go too fast or too slow. Go to class and listen to her. Do all the examples she gives on Blackboard and you'll get an easy A on each test. Very caring if you have something going on. If you fail everything and get a C on the final, you'll get a C in the class. Two tests and one final. Gives an extra credit

She seems like a good person but I honestly wouldn't take her again... she unexpectedly canceled class a few times, teaches from powerpoint slides, is extremely disorganized and takes forever to grade exams/quizzes.

Minutes before class check blackboard incase she's not coming. Have surprise home-works posted on blackboard. Come in for a quiz but its moved last minute to a week later. Have her husband who doesn't work at school to proctor exams and grade them during the test. She clears ur calculators and puts your bags by the board. 3 days notice for final!!!

She seems like a cool person but really wasn't a good professor this semester. She returned grade late and canceled class more times than any professor I've had before. She did make some of the material easy enough to grasp but really I wouldn't take her for another class

She is friendly and easy going. Shows how to solve the problem after the exam so you end up with low grade. She forgets to post the hws on time so your deadlines gets shorter. Exams and Hws are easy. She takes forever to return the grades and she didnt even tell us the grading policy but I think Hws counts a big portion. She is very helpful.

I took her for both CS 313 and CS 343. She is one of the best professors I've ever had. I wish she can teach more classes. She is very knowledgeable on the topics and she teaches them very well. She is very helpful if you ask her questions and she will be glad to help. You have to put in the work for both classes. I would recommend taking her.
