Reviews of professor Heather Bowden

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Co teaches with Alejandro crawford. Talks toomuch, no clear grading criteria. Doesnt see the efforts of her students and compares the undergraduates with her graduate class. Dont recommend.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
classes were pretty boring and all I remember is everyone sitting on their phones during every class especially during the group projects. Shes very dedicated and really wants best for her students! Really tries to gain exposure to the real world and not just academically.

She will help you prepare for the real world. Her class felt more like a Business class sometimes rather than a CIS class. Few things: 1. She gives a lot of homework. 60 questions sometimes on things we did not cover in class. 2. A lot of Group work. Lots of variety in assignments. Take her if you want to learn, but ready for a dynamic class.

Professor Bowden was a great professor. She really values preparing her students for the real world, which is very hard to find a professor like that. She gives you a week to complete the homework so its not bad at all. There were no tests, only a few online quizzes which all of the answers are found in the textbook.

Great professor! She refuses to follow the textbook/powerpoint routine, assigns interesting and creative projects instead. It's more risky than taking a by-the-book professor, but you'll be better prepared for a real job by the end of the course. Also, a lot of group projects (if that's not your thing, run the other way.)

Extremely hands-on, she tries her best to make the class fun and actually useful. Also super understanding and willing to help students as much as she can so long as she can tell you're trying.
