Reviews of professor Natascha Buswell

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Clear and unique grading criteria, with your grade being determined by number of high pass/low pass scores you get on quizzes, completion of homework, and completion of final group project. Drops a lot of stuff too. She cares a lot about students' mental health, so if you just study and practice coding, you will do just fine.

Professor Buswell teaches the required content that's on the quizzes and needed for the projects. Her grading scheme and rubric are really clear. You can clearly tell that she cares about her students.

Professor Buswell is a very caring and welcoming professor. She has a very clear grading scale and gives a reasonable amount of homework, quizzes, and projects. For MAE10 as long as you attend lecture and do the homework, you should be fine.

Professor Buswell is very genuine and caring. If you haven't had any coding experience before this class, this is where the textbook is helpful. Her grading criteria is very clear, as it tells you what you need to do in order to get the grade you want. She also provides opportunities to regrade quizzes. As long as you study, you should be fine.

Very caring prof but couldve curved more at the end. A little all over the place at times but a very caring prof and tried to make the most of online school. Beware of lots of tedious writing assignments but she tries to get you to think about engineering from a different angle. Overall a solid choice

Professor Buswell is an excellent teacher. Although the grading scale for this class is kind of unique, it is reasonably fair. Try your best to get the high passes, however, it will not come without studying. Studying is very necessary for this course if you don't have extensive coding experience.

super cool professor, grading is very clear and easy to understand. group project takes up a large portion of the quarter so make sure you're prepared for that. homework and quizzes are pretty easy to take as well and she is generous with late work / missed assignments (up to a certain extent)

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lectures are clear and goes over the conceptual side of the content. Discussions were also beneficial because the TAs went over different example problems. A big plus is that there are no midterm/final and just bi-weekly quizzes! Quizzes weren't easy but are open notes. If you do all HW and extra credit, you'll do well in the class :)

Super chill professor with a really nice way of grading that promotes camaraderie, mental health wellness, and other important things to keep in mind throughout college. I think the class taught me MATLAB relatively well and the class simultaneously gave me time to focus on my more challenging classes in the quarter. I would strongly recommend.
