Reviews of professor Roslyn Samuels

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Pros: Reviews quizzes/exams before tests, grading is lenient. Cons: TOO chill, lectures are not well-lecture, reads slide by slide without emphasizing, seems like an online instructor doing a seating class, almost always on her phone, take a couple of weeks to grade labs/work, spend too long helping students with labs. TBH, not a real instructor!

Never responds to emails and if she does it's well after the due date. Would never take a class with her again. Projects aren't outlined whether it's group or individual work.

My class with her felt very hands on, responses from her were late or incomplete if they happened at all. The textbook is fairly ok but you WILL be teaching yourself. It was nice that the midterm and final covered actual quiz material so nothing out of left field. Grading is super vague, but she gives you the opportunity to do it again.

Terribly ran and spaced course. You will have 50 pages to read, 3 assignments to code, on top of a quiz, lecture, and discussion form all DUE within 3 days. All on top of your other courses. Don't take this professor.

Despite what most people say Professor Samuels is actually pretty good. Although communication is a bit slow and the textbook isn't that good at explaining things she was always happy to answer questions during office hours. Clear grading criteria though so you always get some sort of feedback and the opportunity to correct it.

Doesn't respond to emails. Lessons are thrown together, have errors and instructions are contradictory. Compared to the other programming courses and instructors this class was so disorganized. No structure, no lectures or really and text from instructor just the book and random YT videos. Feels like a total scam to have paid money for the course.

Aside from being a horrible communicator, I get the vibe that she just doesn't care. None of the work she assigns comes from her as they are all online certificates anyone can complete/do for free. I've had to correct her on multiple mistakes including giving me wrong grades. I get this is a community college but my god she sucks. AVOID

Worst instructor I've ever had. A bot could've run this class better. Zero feedback + late grades. Every test had an error/tons of typos. I gave up emailing for clarification after a few weeks bc her responses rarely made sense. The "textbook" is horrible. The videos are wildly outdated. If you want to actually learn JS avoid at all costs.

Mrs. Samuels is a good professor. She can be a little slow to return your emails but she has a lot of knowledge about HTML and scripting. The labs can be challenging, but read the textbook and you'll do fine. She's relatively hands-off, but gives good feedback on what you did wrong in a lab. A bit on the slow side for grading, though.
