Reviews of professor Susan (Suzy) Watson-Phillips

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Extremely boring lectures that simply text on slides. Around 150 slides per lecture, and no rhyme or reason to the order, flow, or structure. Tests are pure memorization and luck due to the immense amount of dry content.

she graded assignments with no rubric and clear feedback. Had favorites :)

She's not terrible, but she's definitely not good. Her Canvas page was very disorganized. For example, the modules were seemingly arranged by topic, but sometimes you'd find rubrics nowhere near the project's module, and related topics weren't near each other at all. She tries to make participation mandatory by giving out participation quizzes.

The professor smells like BS

Her class was quite disorganized. The structure of 2340 just isn't that great. She was however very lenient when it came to final grades which I appreciated. It's pretty easy/doable to get an A in this class. You'll just have to deal with things like unclear rubrics. Make sure you get a good group for the project.

Focuses on memorizing random specific details from the slides rather than teaching anything useful.There is some useful stuff like design patterns but it's thrown at the end of the course and isn't really explained in good detail. Easy class to get an A but it's just a bunch of work and teaches you almost nothing.

Showed up for the first few lectures, she was amazingly bad. Just ended up teaching myself the course through Google. Homeworks were easy. Tests were medium. Recitations were amazing.

Unorganized course. But she does round the final grade.

I think you can get an easy A in the class but it's just a waste of time. She legit doesn't teach you anything, she rarely comes to class. Easily one of the laziest people I've ever seen. We could be spending time learning how to use Android Studio but instead, she slowly reads over slides that would take a normal person like 15 minutes to read.

Without a doubt the worst professor I have encountered at Tech. She has a very poor understanding of the curriculum which is compounded by an inability to teach. Avoid at all costs

Grading is a mystery and she doesn't release the assignment grades when the letter grade is out and ask us to wait until the beginning of the next semester to see the grades. Just totally SPEECHLESS with this lecturer. She has no respect for your efforsts.

Absolutely horrible professor, and I'm saying this as her old TA in CS1331. Her teaching is dry. She has a 0% response rate when I emailed her throughout the sem. Does not check Canvas ever. Grade late. Loves to blame and gaslight students when things went bad cause she refused to pay attention when we brought up problems. Just avoid this class.
