Laura Biester

I enjoyed this course. Professor Biester is very accommodating and supportive. The class is quite homework heavy, and I wish there had been more projects. Overall, the class has a relaxed atmosphere. It is mostly lecture based, but much of the material can also be learned from online resources.

The Professor was very clear in lectures and wanted you to succeed. The exams were written very well to evaluate your understanding without trying to trick you or be totally unmanageable. There is a homework assignment and a lab a week which are directly related to lecture.

This course sucked. Laura was would teach the most trivial boring material in class and then give us a much harder homework. Furthermore, the work load was just not possible to manage, homeworks, projects, tests and quizzes. The worst part was that gradescope graded the assignments. So, if you found a solution that still worked and completed the assignment, but it wasn't in the way that the profs envisoned it when they made the gradescope, it would be marked wrong still and you would have to redo it. I was super excited going into the course and ended up pass failing and totally checking out. I left with not much respect for the way the CS department is run.
