Reviews of professor Farnaz Zand

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Farnaz Zand is a very good teacher. As with all programming classes you need to practice what she lectures about tontrully understand. This course definitely challenged me but made me a better programming overall. Attendance is not mandatory but if you skip, you will fall behind and do poorly in the labs. Will take for other classes.

This is the first class I have taken where the professor really made me work for my grade. She is passionate in what she does and it shows, however if you are not willing to read or code outside of class, then perhaps she isnt for you.

A fantastic professor that will make sure you know and understand everything covered. Some topics are challenging and she pushes you in the labs, but it will prepare you for future courses.

The textbook for this class is a must, and punctuality is important. She is a fair grader, but encourages you to figure things out yourself or by getting help outside of class. One homework assignment for each chapter covered, a mid-term, and final. The class was a little stressful for me, but I would take her again.

Dr. Zand is an amazing professor who teaches the material in a clear way. She gives very little in terms of homework but all assignments are weighted equally so make sure to complete them. If you are considering taking programming fundamentals 1 and 2, take it with Dr. Zand.

Zand will walk you through the material with really good explanations. Her assignments and tests are tough, but if you read the book and pay attention in class, you'll do fine. Not a lot of assignments though, so be prepared from the start if you want to pass. She's fairly lenient with absences and extensions if notified in advance.
