Reviews of professor Gail Casburn

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If you need to take CIS031 try to find another professor.

She rushes through content every class and is gets angry when people can't keep up. Her temper is VERY short. The rudest professor I've ever had, talks to students like they are toddlers when they don't understand something. It's maddening listening to her lose her temper every class.

Professor was super upfront and genuine about wanting to help us throughout the semseter for Intro to Python. And would make sure everything was recorded to review later. Was willing to help out with the code even if I didn't know how to start. And was open to listening if any of the assignments were too confusing being a 6 week course.

While I am sure she is a great professor for JAVA. JAVASCRIPT is not her cup of tea. She seems to be all over the place more often than not. I would have preferred to take JAVASCRIPT from a professor who actually knows the content, not one where I am learning alongside the professor. Other than teaching she seems very nice and very accommodating

Professor breezed through lectures and lots of homework. Homework would take me a minimum of 2 hours to complete. I don't think its her fault because Oracle Academy is so outdated for SQL. Professor gets upset easily when you ask more than one question. She seems sweet but of the group projects are like 70% of your grade and 2 quizzes per week.

Professor Casburn was my first introduction to Python, and I felt so blessed. I left that class completely confident that I can grasp programming concepts and be successful in a career of programming. She CARES about student success. If you want a teacher who truly cares, take her class- but be ready to do the work. It's so worth it!

PRO: easy grader, lab assignments makes up majority of grade. CON: introductory class, lectures are shallow and slows to a craw to answer basic questions. Professor doesn't seem very knowledgeable to python.

She seemed all over the place. Was easily frustrated with students' questions.
