Reviews of professor Nada Attar

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Attar is not good at teaching. She does not seem to prepare for the class or understand the material or care - most explanations seems memorized or read off a slide. Office hours are useless. I am not sure why she is assigned to teach these key courses. Do avoid her classes.

If you can afford to wait another semester to graduate then take this class if not then look for another professor

Nada is a great professor. Good lectures and she prepares you well for the exams. She is very kind and wants to help you succeed. She takes feedback from students and improves her class in real time. I've really enjoyed her class and would gladly take more from her in the future.

Dr. Attar is a very nice and patient professor. She tries her best to help the students learn. However, at times she gets the facts wrong during lectures. Homework could expect you to know more than what was covered in the lecture. Tests also can get tougher than the material covered but she curves them. Go to office hours, work hard, and practice!

You learn more and understand better just by google search or from one of those DSA websites.
For homework, she will sometime just throw you a coding question and you're on your own.
For exams, wording are confusing that you might miss some free questions.
Her lecture are slight useful in exams but not so much on homework. Quizzes are fairly easy.

You will spend more time trying to understand what a problem is asking than solving them.

Take literally any other section. She turns concepts that could be explained in ~20 minutes into a 1 hour and 15 minute meandering that will leave you more confused than when you started. Homework and exams are riddled with confusing language and incomplete info. Completely theory focused, you will not be taught how to code anything that is covered

Like other reviews, Nada didn't do good as a teacher but partly cuz it was asynchronous and she didn't communicate back to us clearly. Most times ur better off self-learning, lectures usually didn't explain well. Tests had some surprises. Took weeks to grade. Tho I will say the tests and hws are not that hard if you understand the material.

Extremely poor teacher, does not teach you how to apply concepts and does not seem to fully understand topics that she is teaching. Despite previous reviews claiming a caring experience I wish that I did not take this class as this was far from my experience. Take any other section unless you are fine with learning everything from YouTube

Professor was very helpful and thorough in her lectures, always willing to help out when asked and gave great in class exercises that helped us excel in the exams.
