If you want to 4.0 this class, you either need 2+ years of previous coding experience or you either need to sell your soul.

CSE 231 is NOT A CLASS FOR BEGINNERS. I took 2 years of computer science in hs and am still struggling to get an 80. Prof. Zaabar is however a very kind professor. I have had issues arise from unclear instructions in regards to coding projects, but she is very quick to respond to emails, and help in person if needed.

She's a really tough professor and doesn't offer much extra credit or help. She's never really around except during the last 10 minutes of class during the weekly quizzes and at that point doesn't help much at all. She is also a harsh person in general.

very nice if you talk in office hours. class is hard just because learning computer languages is a new topic to lots of people. The way the professor teaches isnt the problem, its the way the grading is set up. Sometimes the written questions feel like an all or nothing kind of point system. start projects on time and get help when needed.

Do not take this class. Do not come to this school if you want to study CSE. Please just leave. I am actually losing hair over this class. There is a special place in hell for Imen and I'm not just saying that. She is horrible and deserves the worst. This class is uncompletable. Look up the grade distribution for this class.

I'm a former TA and honestly she is barely a professor. She is more of an overseer who uses her TAs to do everything from running the classes to help rooms. She's made the class harder than it was when I took it and yeah its an absolute shame that this is the course you take as your first CS class. Also special shout out to Husain who is horrible

Very unkind to new learners, very tough grader, lots of tough assignments, and so unfortunate to be around. MSU needs to revise this class and not make it so hard for a beginner class. Turns many off of coding as a whole.

Do not take this class! Take it somewhere else over the summer

Wasn't too bad. If you pay attention and do projects her course shouldn't be hard

Prof. Sands and her both make the TA's "teach" all the classes, even though the TA's explicitly said they wouldn't teach the material. The lecture videos only explain the bare minimum and don't help. This class has a lot of homework even though exams are 60% of your final grade. Save yourself and take this class anywhere else. Worst class at MSU.
