Reviews of professor Nidhi Tilak

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She is very easy and her homework can be completed in a few hours if you read the textbook ahead of time. Her tests are straightforward with true/false, multiple choice, and minimal coding. She has a very good personality. She answers emails and the discussion boards within 24 hrs. Her course is too easy and you don't learn much though.

If you want a super easy A, I'd recommend this prof. If you want to actually learn the language at a reasonable pace, I cannot recommend. The class was easy to the point of boredom, and there were easy to catch errors in her labs that she had clearly not looked over before she assigned them.

Her lecture is applicable to lab assignments. If you pay attention to the lectures, you can do lab assignments and tests. Also, you should read the book before attending her class because quizzes will be given at the beginning of the class.

Professor Tilak is an AMAZING professor who knows what she is doing. Very helpful whenever we needed it and a genuinely nice person. CECS 174 consisted of 2 labs per week, 1 homework every 2 weeks, with reading once a week, 1 midterm and a final.

I am a beginner to C++ . I very much enjoyed my time in this class. Professor Tilak is very knowledgeable, helpful, passionate, & is willing to help you understand what you need to know if youre having trouble with your code. Stay on top of your readings,& reference the book when needed, as the book contains similar exercises to the assignments.

She is very motivating. & wants her students to understand the material. Best CIS professor Ive had thus far. Grade is divided evenly between weekly quizzes, lab assignments, midterm, and final exam. She offers extra credit to give her students the opportunity to get a better grade. Always takes the time to answer questions any student might have.

I took CECS174 with Professor Tilak and she was great. She teaches Python and Java in a way that is easily understood for beginner programmers. She genuinely cares for her students and wants them to succeed. I would definitely take her again in the future.

Many of the lectures had technical issues/ignored actual truths about C++. There seemed to in general be a lack of understanding by the teacher of the C++ programming language, its features, and its connections to C - however, she did teach the given course materials well. I was happy to be in her course, and would definitely recommend her again.

she is an amazing computer science teacher and is helpful to her student. If you are dedicated with your work and are serious about programming than take her. Reading the textbook will be really helpful in understanding these concepts. Everything the teacher teaches is base of the book.
