Reviews of professor Dolly Jorgensen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Taking Dolly over Ed was the worse mistake I've made. She barely shows any code at all in this class and when she does, she just glosses over it and doesn't go into detail about what is going on. Assembly is extremely hard, and you can't learn it well without being shown lots of example code like Ed does in his lectures.

Just don't take her. Period. Save yourself from having serious nervous breakdowns and anxiety. You shouldn't be paying to teach yourself by yourself. She doesn't give students the material or guidance needed to learn and it takes up 80% of your time over all other classes you are taking.

If you have a question she will likely not answer it and use time as an excuse. This tactic was constantly used to mask the fact she lacked adequate knowledge to teach this class. Please choose professor who is competent in assembly.

I've attended engineering classes. This professor merely reads lectures, assigning lengthy tasks weekly. Relevant coding is scarcely discussed in class, yet we're expected to debug assignments for hours without adequate guidance. Take Ed. He wrote the book you will be going from in class.

Prof isn't bad but could be a lot better. It's her first time teaching 218 this semester and is unorganized. Never codes in class which would've helped to understand the material more. If you see Ed as an option for this course, TAKE HIM!!! 

You will have a lot of coding assignments in the first 2 months so be prepared

This was my first time learning any programming language and I genuinely fell in love with the course. There's more than enough information in the book, lectures, labs (separate course), and assignments to prepare you for the tests. I am suprised at how smooth the course has gone and I look forward to more CS courses in the future at UNLV.

The textbook is your best friend if you ever take 218 with her. She did not teach the content well and had to resort to Ed's lectures to know what to do. Tests are not clear and needed elaboration multiple times. Class averages were around 50-60% even after half the class dropped midway. You'd have better luck with another professor, no joke.

218 is a hard course as is, and Dolly does not make it any easier. Her lectures are just regurgitating the same material in the book. She doesn't really elaborate further with coding examples and such. Her tests are very hard and she grades strict. I failed with her and took 218 again in the summer with a much better professor, passing with an A-.

Had to take this class twice because the first time I was not prepared for how fast-paced this class would be. Her lectures are basically dumping tons of info super fast, all stuff you need to know, almost no code examples. the assignments are pretty difficult and will eat your time. be prepared to dedicate your time and sanity if you want to pass.
