Reviews of professor Kortni Neal

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Class is boring, a lot of zybooks assignments, and the tests are 20x harder than homework or lectures. Mad cringe

Her test questions are so difficult to understand, and her notes are awful to try and read. Almost everyone in my class right now does not understand what half of the test questions are asking

I feel bad for her, she's nice, but just a bad teacher. Her lectures were not very helpful at all. Labs were pretty hard, especially with her confusing grading criteria. Tests were even more confusing, a lot of the questions just did not make sense. I knew C++ before taking this class, and her tests still did not make sense.

She's deeply ok. Lectures are straightforward, but don't go that in-depth. Which is nice in the moment but not once you start working on the lab or open up the test. Tests are open-note but HARD. Labs can also be a bit difficult, but the TAs can help with those. She's a good teacher and I've learned a lot, I just wish she spent more time on things.

I had her for Methods and thoroughly enjoyed the class. She was accessible outside of class and willing to help those who asked at 11 at night. The tests took a bit of work, but were open note so it wasn't too bad. She was available and gave feedback on the group project before submission for those who wanted it. Absolutely recommend taking her!

Kortni was always available at any time of day outside of class, and she always posted EVERYTHING we covered in class on canvas. The difficulty of the group project is overstated in my opinion because she posted basically everything we needed to know for it canvas (a video and example code). Just go to class, and review the lecture slides!

I also took Ms. Neal for intro. She's not as terrible as some reviews make out, but she doesn't really explain things in a way that someone who has little prior coding experience could understand. Her answers to in-class questions are also pretty bad in my experience, as she tends to not understand what exactly the student is asking about.

I found the assignments to always be very clear. Kortni is almost always willing to help if you get stuck as well. The tests weren't the easiest, but they are open note so it's not horrible. She does a few drop grades as well to help. Her lessons were very clear when I paid attention.

When I started this semester of Intermediate programming, I was happy because she doesn't give as much homework as the other professor, but her tests are insane. They are impossibly worded so the questions don't make any sense, and they're are so heavily weighted that if you do bad on one test, it will take all semester to bring your grade back up.
