Reviews of professor Aline Normoyle

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Aline is friendly and kind as a person. However, students might feel superficially supported by her soft demeanor and her class content and participation don't match with the assignments she gives. She seems to love teaching but her methodology can be majorly improved. Tough grader so be prepared to work really really hard to earn a high mark.

The professor is very helpful and available outside class. The class is pretty challenging in the second half of the course, but all the resources are available and there is lots of help. I highly recommend this professor!

I really REALLY wanted to love this class. But the assignments are a mess and difficult to follow. Riddled with errors and confusion. The TA has only had 2 meetings and its half way through the semester. The TA was not very helpful as they were sort of thrown in late. I spend 3x the time on this class than my others. Hope to change this at the end

Professor Aline is very organized and always comes prepared to class. That being said, she covers a lot of topics in the same class which makes classes a little tough to follow.

Aline takes off points for very minute details like spacing in code. The code jam time limits are arbitrary and some weeks, the assignment can take 6+ hours. She often doesn't cover the content needed to complete the assignment until the day it is due, which is really frustrating. But, she is knowledgeable and stays after class for questions.
