Amy Briggs

This class was just plain hard. You were allowed cheat sheets on every midterm, but there's a reason you are given a cheat sheet. Because the midterms were VERY VERY hard, especially on the final. Homeworks and quizzes are easy. The final on the other hand, killed my grade. I wouldn't take this class unless you like computing.

Briggs was great for this class. Weekly homeworks were pretty doable and if you paid attention ~ most of the time in class then you could do really well. It was a great introduction for someone who had never taken a comp sci class before.

I have never had a teach as straight forward and talented at answering questions as Professor Briggs. I can't say enough good things about the way she taught this class. Yes, it was challenging, but I learned so much and everything was SO well structured. I wanted to try something new with computer science and have never even seen coding haha. I am as beginner as it gets and I am not tech savy. I enjoy math though. Professor Briggs made it very approachable and exciting to learn and brought lots of enthusiasm to every class. Every test and homework was very very fair, in a beautiful way. Ultimately comp sci wasn't for but the class itself I enjoyed because it was taught so well and I would totally take it again with her even now knowing I wasn't going to pursue it as a career. The topics covered and experience I now have with Python has already served me very well on my education journey. If you can take the class and are willing to put in the work, you won't regret it.
