Casburn is Always approachable and easy to reach outside of class, she creates a welcoming atmosphere. This accessibility fosters a positive learning environment, allowing for additional support and clarification. A delightful experience for students who appreciate a caring and responsive instructor.

I would take her again if it was Java. To be very honest, the teacher of the Python course is... Zybooks (the course material) haha. Professor Casburn is very nice and she does care about her students. But... her knowledge in Python isn't that great to be very honest. Solid 4 stars for being caring and accommodative, just wish she knew Python more.

She is one of the best CIS Professors ever! She is very nice and she cares about her students. If you have any difficulties or need help with anything, just talk to her, and she would try to help you as much as possible. Her lecture is very simple and clear enough for you to learn the basics of Python. Easy A, so take her and you will love Python.

Professor Casburn really cares about her students. Her lecture is very clear and she wants to help her students as much as possible. Everything is on Zybooks and her class time is the best time for you to ask questions. She is very nice and caring. If you want to learn coding in the most basic way, take her.

She is an awesome Professor! She is always available to help and is accessible with the assignments. She does her best to not let anyone stay behind and explains code line by line. SHE DOES KNOW PYTHON; she just loves java more. She'll remind you many times, lol. I wish all CIS professors would be as understanding and helpful as her.

She doesn't know Python at all. Don't waste your time. I wasted a semester with her and I feel like I need to retake this class. You basically use Zybooks and thats it. The students in class knew more Python than she did.

Take programming with CS (computer science) teachers!! NOT with CIS (computer information systems) teachers. Its NOT the same!!

So much homework and lectures that could not even fit in a 3 hour class. The grading weight was so strange. Quizzes did nothing to your grade and Group Projects were the bulk of your grade. Also, the software we used was so terrible. Why not use MySQL or PostSQL? PCC's CIS professors are 30 years behind.

If you want a teacher that makes going to class enjoyable, Professor Casburn is a good pick. She is very enthusiastic in her teaching style and genuinely cares about her students learning the material. She is very engaging and encourages questions and feedback from her students. She will work with her students and is very fair in her grading.
