Reviews of professor Jacqueline Masloff

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I'm surprised Masloff's reviews here aren't higher. I had a great experience in her class, and while I'm not the MOST confident Python student after taking her class, she's very nice and always willing to spend time helping students. Definitely gravitates more towards students who go to office hours or have taken her before. Certainly recommend.

Jackie is an angel. She is such a great CS professor and genuinely cares about her students learning the material and will go the distance to help. I recommend her 1000x over!

TAKE HER!! The assignments and quizzes are sometimes tricky and harder than examples in-class, but they're all the same throughout all the sections so there's no avoiding it. She understands how sometimes the assignments and exercises take more time than expected, so she has very flexible due dates which is a big help. Fairly easy grader too!

The professor is very nice and understanding about turning assignments in. Go to Sandbox and email the prof, she responds very quickly! The final project was a grade booster as if you did it you got 100% on it plus extra credit opportunities. The class will go by fast, hard but worth it in the end! Homework and quizzes are hard!

Masloff really does try and means well, but the content of the class requires a professor who is a lot more clear and spends less time on things that don't matter. Tests are hard and she grades them hard. I think that the class is still worth taking if she is your only option, but don't get surprised when the class goes from 0-100 in difficulty

Professor Masloff is not the best at teaching. She teaches the basics, and then when you go to do the HWs it can be kind of difficult. She is very understanding though and wants you to succeed. However, you may need to get some extra help or go to the sandbox in order to figure out some of the assignments.

Graded on participation, quizzes, and projects. The participation is done in class, and she's always available to help. Quizzes are on brightspace and incredibly straightforward. Projects are actually interesting and oftentimes fun, she's lenient with grading as well, as long as you put effort in and apply what we've learned in class.

Prof Masloff is really passive aggressive and has favorites in the class. I felt super uncomfortable asking for help. If I ever emailed her asking a question she would make a comment about how if I looked at the examples I would see the answer. I stopped going to class in person because of her. Expectations are usually pretty clear for work though.
