Reviews of professor Nosayba El-Sayed

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Super engaging, lots of lecture examples that modeled the hw, and straightforward midterm/final. Lectures are tedious though because of how many slides there are for a single concept. Content can easily be reviewed in half the time by just watching the lecture recording, which for an 8:30AM class, most people did.

One of the best lecturers I've had at Emory. Cares so much about her students!

One of the greatest teaching professors in the CS department at Emory. If you want to build a solid basis in database, definitely take her class. She can explain everything super clear in classes so there is no need to self-study heavily. Make sure you attend the classes concentrated, since her classes are usually in early mornings.

I really enjoyed the class. She taught extremely well. Whenever a student had a question, she would answer it clearly. Assignments were of moderate difficulty, and she gave hints to help. Midterms were above moderate difficulty. Very easy to concentrate in class due to her teaching style. I learned a lot in class.

My favorite lecturer in the cs department so far!! Definitely take her if you have a chance. She helps me build such a solid foundation for other cs courses such as the data structure and algorithm. She is very caring, kind, and sometimes funny loll I love her and miss her for her maternal leave. I am looking forwards to taking her class again!:)

Difficult class but an excellent professor to take! Great lectures the information taught was useful. The only downside of this class would probably be the class time which was in the morning.

She is extremely knowledgable and ensures that students understand the content. Lots of quizzes and weekly prep assignments, so can't slack off. She is not lenient about bumping up grades so make sure to do well the first time.

Easily the best CS professor at Emory. Lectures were clear/organized. She posted recordings AND slides. Had a lot of little assignments/quizzes here and there to keep you on track. Super nice/approachable/always willing to help. Passionate about teaching. Database sys isnt the hardest material and it's extremely important for SWE. Highly recommend.
