Reviews of professor Sara Kalvala

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I had no idea what the revise. The website was a mess right from the start of term. The online exam was unfair to anyone without perfect internet. Considering it is a programming languages module there is no actual programming . Saying 'I am listening' does not justify terrible lectures or boring delivery that is reading outloud from notes.

Only after graduating did I realise how little the module has to do with the real world. Completely irrelevant and impractical. Telling students not to think like a customers might justify anything and cover for the awful management of the module but the irrelevance of what is taught is the real problem.

I hated the exam. I hated the coursework. I hated the lectures. I hated the random list of stuff on the website. No programming in a programming languages module.

I did not like the slow pace or the teaching style at all. I'm not a programming expert but even I knew lecturer was making mistakes in every lecture.

She explains topics very clearly and lecture slides are very good (no matter who they belong to), plus she is very enthusiastic. #justiceforsara

The worst lectures we have. I do not believe that she has done any programming before, let alone Java programming. The constant mistakes make it impossible for me to learn anything.

I dont think she knows anything about programming at all. I was so excited to start but after spending two weeks doing almost nothing, I think I learnt more just googling programming questions before I started.

I really do not like being taught programming by someone who I do not think can write code. Apart from some basic example in the lecture slides, I just do not believe that she is capable of writing a program in Java. I also do not like the mistake in lectures or the unenthusiastic presentations.

So happy these lectures have finished. I struggled to follow anything because of the amount of mistakes and the painfully slow speed. I felt like she was seeing the slides for the first time so they were shocking her every time.
