Reviews of professor Pamela Duffy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
PDuffy is an awesome professor, who will cares about her students and their work. If she sees you care about the work (some don't because its SQL), she will give you the respect you want. Yes, her slides are based off snippets of the textbook and going to labs on is mandatory, but otherwise put in the work and you'll get the easy A and learn too.

Professor Duffy does her best to teach SQL (it is a very dry subject). Her goal is for the students to learn, and she offers plenty of office hours to support the students. The midterm and final are challenging. The requirements for the group project are not always clear, but the professor is happy to answer all questions.

Very good professor for Database Design and Modeling. Attendance is "strongly encouraged" but not required. Very accessible outside class and definitely cares about students. Homeworks are on the tougher side, but nothing too crazy. Highly recommend her for INST327

I enjoyed taking this course during the previous semester. The TAs were very helpful the entire time and I felt like I actually learned something at the end of the course. You do have a group project to work on throughout the semester, but IMO it's not very difficult as long as your group stays on top of things and everyone contributes equally.

I love Professor Duffy. She is understanding and works with her students. The TAs do most of the grading, so if you have an issue with grades, reach out, and she will evaluate to ensure you receive a fair grade.

She is a very caring professor. However, lectures may get boring as she reads the slides off verbatim. Also attendance is not mandatory on lecture days but it is mandatory on the discussion sections usually held on Friday. It's highly encouraged to attend all classes as she may offer extra credit at the end of the semester.

Amazing Professor, all her classes are recorded so I could rewatch and follow along with her database code. She drops your lowest assignment score and was extremely helpful with the final project. 10/10 definitely reccomend

Professor Duffy cares about her students and offers students a lot of resources for help. Between AMPs, TAs and her own there were about 4 hours of office hours every weekday for students to attend. The lectures can be a little boring but she is very funny to make up for it. She is very knowledgeable of SQL and wants her students to succeed.

never even met duffy - but did attend lectures led by diker. since lectures are recorded over zoom, attendance isn't mandatory. don't skip discussions - there are weekly labs that are walked through during discussion time.
