Laura Biester

Professor Biester is very clear and concise with her teachings. Her approach towards homework is very good as it allows for and encourages revisioning and improvement through having multiple checkpoints for feedback before a final deadline. Very helpful for those that prefer a feedback loop into their learning.

This course was very valuable in teaching the fundamentals of Python. There were many opportunities to resubmit homework problem sets to improve our grade. I spent most of my afternoon at office hours and TA hours to help with debugging. The grading system became more relaxed and the professors became more lenient as the course went on, which I really appreciated.

I really liked this class! It challenged me and improved my problem solving and critical thinking skills. It feels like there is constantly an assignment to be working on, which can get tiring. However, the grading policy is very generous and allows for resubmissions, extensions, and extra credit. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in computer science or anyone looking to improve their logical thinking!
