Reviews of professor Linda Wilbanks

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
PP's are so through that you don't need the textbook but for supplemental. Weekly homework, some of it is ridiculously tedious. Mac users beware, Most hw apps to download are windows only, you'll receive credit tho as you can't download them on school computers. 2 exams, 2 projects. 1st exam was 30Q's and took 20 minutes for a 90%+.

If you attend class (which is mandatory) you'll pass! The only class I`ll jump out the bed to go running to at 8 am lol. She`s so knowledgeable and every lecture is almost like a performance. Will take again.

Her credentials are impressive. She knows and cares about the subject. If you care about the subject, take her. If you want an easy class, take someone else. Always there during office hours. She's willing to answer questions. She doesn't talk down to the students. Be prepared to work. Attendance is a must. Two absences can fail you. Good lecturer.

Quizzes and work assigned are so vague and ambiguous. To make it harder there are typos everywhere. I agree with the other review and will say she sounds very condescending.

For those critical of her CIS 377 courses, it just shows you how thin-skinned you are. The amount of work each week is manageable, you just need to buckle down and give it some time, like with other classes. Sure, you have to do a bunch of PPTs, but you can basically copy and paste everything with the appropriate citations. Dr. Wilbanks is great.

Dr. Wilbanks is honestly so amazing at her job, she really knows her stuff and is an excellent resource both in the classroom (virtually in this case) and out. She had a tough later in the semester due to personal issues but still managed to be generous, responsive, and get us through the semester as well as teach us a thing or two. She is awesome!

You WILL hate your life if you take her class. 10+ hours of homework every week in addition to having to read the textbook outside of class and take quizzes at home. Its all busy work. I'm talking like 5 powerpoint presentations, four report papers, and several "read & answer the question" assignments PER WEEK! She made me hate cybersecurity.

I don't think there is anything wrong with her or the course, but she just delivers the lectures weird to me. She sounds like she is narrating a drama is the best way I can put it. If you think you can put up with that you will be fine.

What prof. WIlbanks teaches she has done for the past 11+ years. This means two things: That she knows what she's talking about, and that she can be quite over your head. She has a very interesting class, and her classes are not hard if you pay attention and take notes. Her assignments are not hard if you pay attention and put work into them.
