Reviews of professor Griselda Conejo-Lopez

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She's a nice person and she always wants to help out, she is just really bad at giving instructions. All the homeworks have a bunch of hidden grading/test mechanics which will ruin your grade despite passing the initial tests. The practice problems for the quizzes rarely ever match the intensity of the actual quiz problems.

griselda is a great professor, she can be hard to understand but her lectures are thorough and she very much cares about her students. the class is a massive step up from compsci 131, and is more confusing, but that is not on griselda, she does a great job helping people to understand the material. people that hate her probably dont watch lectures

Easily the nicest CMPSC teacher at Penn State. The work is definitely hard, but if you seek out help it becomes very manageable and easy to learn from

While the online format of this class was a challenge, she wants you to succeed. Don't be afraid to reach out, and make sure to do practice problems before the exams. They are rough.

This class is a massive step in difficulty. One homework assignment in this class is about the size of the entire CMPSC 131 syllabus. However, Griselda and her TA/LA's are more than accessible outside of class, whether through office hours of Microsoft Teams. Do start your homework early and watch lectures, do not be afraid to ask questions.

The homework and lab can be a lot and the tests are tough. Keep up with the lecture videos and you'll be alright

The module info and review material is so easy and then the practice problems are so much harder and expect you to know how to do so much going into it. If your going to expect that then teach that. She may be nice but id rather have a mean professor who is gonna guide someone without experience prior to 131 to success.
