Reviews of professor Brenda Harlow

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took Professor Harlow for Intro to Programming. The course uses zybooks, which is great. The chapters that she wrote herself are very dry and confusing. For example, she wrote a chapter on object oriented programming that the entire class considered a hard read. Overall, I would not take her again but zybooks is a great resource for learning.

I took Professor Harlow for Python I. Her multiple choice tests are notoriously hard. The group discussion assignments require students to apply programming concepts that she does not cover in lecture. So, these assignments force students to do independent research to solve homework problems. Zybooks covers Python programming very well.

Great professor! Provides online Quizlets to prepare for every quiz. Has a lot of real-world experience in the CIT/CIS fields and uses them to provide real-world examples for the curriculum. Very friendly, and very passionate about teaching. Most of the assignments can be done outside of class. Book not required but recommended if you're serious.
