Reviews of professor Patti Koenig

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
If you don't know anything about coding I would take her class. She does have a certain teaching style that I wasn't used to, and which lead me to self-study a lot. But her notes and recorded lectures online are actually pretty good. Just learn to use your resources, kind of like you would in the field, regardless.

She is very knowledgeable, informative, and friendly. She has clear grading standards and expectations which is very nice. She was lax with our class about due dates which was helpful for the more difficult coding projects. Very well paced for beginners, but challenging as well. I wish she taught the more advanced classes.

She is very caring ans straight forward! By far the realest and nicest teacher and has definitely taught me so much. I took her CS 111 and lab class and it was such a fun experience. She is very understanding and caring and is always trying to check up if you're doing good in your work. Definitely would take again

Is Mrs. Koenig nice? Yes. Will you learn the fundamentals of Java in her class? No. Absolutely not. The class is disorganized and the professor is unprepared and sloppy (poor memory, jumbled speech). Those who want to learn should try another class, you will likely find this one a waste of time. Mrs. Koenig's class is not designed to help you learn

Her class gives you space to explore and work at your own pace. Do not fall behind on projects given. Many students got slammed towards the end of the semester. She is helpful and caring but may leave you to fail if she sees you don't even try. Otherwise she will be more than happy to clarify anything you need help with.
