Comment:

I am a bio major; I was not excited to take computer science. We had weekly zybooks assignments. She answers questions with questions, but if you are adamant about learning (I was at the start, then I gave up), she will help. You haveg to keep pressing her out. She appreciated effort though. I took this during covid so that she may be better IRL.

This professor is a not a good professor. She always has an attitude during class and when asking a question she asks a question with a question. Not helpful AT ALL. Do not take if you can avoid her.

This professor gives 4 tests a semester and she does not give feedback on them. She also takes days to respond to emails. If you can avoid her, please do!

She tries to be helpful, but is unwilling to be reasonable sometimes and often comes off as rude and blunt. She says she understands that computer science is hard to learn, but doesn't give any ways to relieve students of stress and concern.

Avoid her class if possible! I'm usually not a hard person to please when it comes to professors, but I could not wait to be done with her class. She was very rude and whenever I asked her a question, she made me feel stupid. I went to her office hours, and I wish I didn't because she was no help at all.

Her class is easy and can be taken online, but her attitude like many users already commented is disgusting. Extremely condensing and rude. Her class can be taken online. Attendance matters and make sure you stay on top of your assignments. If you can, avoid taking her class as she is simply just a rude person. She will test your patience.

Do not take this woman. She simply does too much as far as coursework and has a bad attitude 85% of the time. If you have other options, choose em.

If you are not into technology, computer science specifically do not take this lady. She will leave you high and dry to fail and will fail you. There is a ridiculous amount of work in this course with very little teaching. Horrible prof. Issa No.

The class required a lot of attention and retention. Prepare to work every day until the end of the class, sometimes over. Dr. Kearse comes off as rude and impatient, but you must work past that in order to get a decent grade. She gives lots of classwork, homework, quizzes, and she gives four tests. Attend class or you may miss an assignment.

She has a very discouraging attitute. Gives a lot of work. Take this course freshman or somphomore year, never as a senior. I wouldn't have taken her if there was a choice. Advice is do all the work as perfectly as you can if you want a B and above. If you need help contact the TA.

DO NOT TAKE HER! I really wish I would have rated her before I chose her because her class really made my GPA go down. She is a hard grader and she has a very NASTY ATTITUDE! She does not give you extra help if needed and she's never in her office during her office hours. Save yourself the trouble and take someone else.

Where do I begin? She was an interesting professor. Not caring much for her students was evident, for she did not respond to emails or was not in her office during office hours. OH! Don't ask a questions - you'll be lucky if she answers you. When she does, she makes you regret asking the question. She does not believe in respecting her students.

She was a pretty cool person but she wasn't very helpful whenever I asked a question she always made me feel stupid for it. It was a really hard class and I would suggest not taking it with her. She's not much help and because I wasn't able to get help I never got the grades I was used to. Over my gpa was affected in a negative way

I advise you all not to take her. She can be cool and helpful, but majority of the time she has an attitude and can be rude. She was not always available for office hours. She makes you feel stupid when you ask a question. My GPA was greatly affected and I do not want anyone to experience that.

DO NOT TAKE HER! She is rude, takes way to long to grade simple assignments, and barely seems to care about the students. I deeply regret taking her and she's terrible with office hours and never responds to emails.

Prof. Kearse is a great teacher. I was told by others not to take her b/c she is hard, but truthfully, she lets you do your own thing. The whole course is basically online. You can start assignments when you want, as long as they're turned in on time. She gives really nice tidbits of computer knowledge out every once in a while.

I went into the final with an 89, but I received a B- in the class. This class was horrible. If it was not for her teaching style I would have got more of the class. DO NOT TAKE her if you care about your GPA.
