Reviews of professor Donna Ward

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She was not a good professor in any sense of the word. Assignment instructions were very unclear and if you did not do them in the way she wanted, that she never taught us, then you were marked off with no notes to say how you could improve. She was consistently 3 to 4 weeks behind in grading. Avoid her in any way you can.

She assumes students have prior knowledge about the subject, and her expectations may seem overwhelming but after sitting through her lecture everything starts to make sense. The amount you learn and understand week by week is astounding. If you don't understand something she will still give credit for describing what you would do if you knew how.

Donna Ward is the WORST professor I have ever had in my 4 years of college. She disregards student needs and comes back with condescending comments when questions are asked. She skipped over a week of class and did not move assignments. I have never seen such disregard and lack of empathy in a professor. Ward should have been fired 3 weeks in.

This is my best professor. Spends lots of time helping students.

She expects you to know everything. All HW is due Sunday, and does not explain it till Friday. If you want to try to get ahead because you work on the weekends, she will not help until she has taught it. She never answers to messages, so the only time to talk to her is during her office hours or after class if she is not rushing to leave.

Cool lady, but she is an awful teacher. She reads from the slides, which, unless you have an understanding of code, makes no sense. She gets angry and harsh when asked "ridiculous" questions, and will not put in any time out of class, she gives an average of 50% on most homework assignments and having 2-3 a week, drops your grade very quickly.
