Reviews of professor Alexandra Zheng Harner

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Borderline impossible to pay attention to her in class, because she rarely says anything important or not straight from the textbook or the web. Taking a class with Zheng is an easy A, but you won't learn anything. You won't think in her classes. A deeply frustrating experience, and she hasn't gotten better since her first semester.

This class is essentially a GPA booster. It is hard not to get at least a B; however, you will learn absolutely nothing.

Dr. Zheng is not a great instructor. Overestimates the ability of the class, expecting that we are already experts in the subject matter. Many weeks were wasted downloading, and setting up new environments, without even proper lectures on how to use the technologies. Any materiaal comes from W3. Avoid at all costs, save your time and your sanity.

It's very obvious Dr. Harner has no idea about the material she's supposed to cover. She reads verbatim from PowerPoint slides, and will often stop mid-sentence and go totally silent while trying to figure out what she's talking about. Dr. Harner seems to think the excess of homework assigned is directly related to how good of a professor she is.

Alexandra is not that bad, the classes are a little boring but that's better than having the class be difficult. I actually learned stuff in Object Oriented so it wasn't a waste of time. Would take her again. Make sure you show up to class, she won't tell you when there are tests so you have to show up so you don't miss one.

So here's the thing. Her class is passable. You can definitely get an A. She's just a horrible professor. Can't teach anything. But the homework is doable and she gives you a great review before the midterm and final which is 99% similar to the actual exam. You'll suffer, but get an A. All of her material is online.
