Reviews of professor Samantha Armenti

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Good teacher. My class was online so I didn't get to know her much but the class was very organized, the assignments are amazing at actually helping you learn the material instead of just trying to keep you busy. Pretty easy to do well in the class if you just watch the lectures and take notes.

She was a great teacher, but the curriculum was terrible and the homework was unbelievable. I almost always stay up late doing homework, which is too much, and this course is all about you doing the experiment first, and then doing the lecture the next day. However, the experimental part is calculated in your grade, so it is difficult.

This class is a very nice introduction to programming and using python. It feels like a lot of work, but you learn a lot. Sam's instructions are super clear and she often gives you most of the starter code that you'll need for your assignments. I miss how structured her class was now that I'm in some higher-level CSC classes

Whether taken in the summer or fall, this is a tough course. First 7 weeks or so are easier than the remainder of the semester. Not a recommended course for anyone not interested in learning how to code JavaScript through Khan Academy. Class moves very very fast. Each week builds off each other, so can't afford to skip lessons.

I love my CSC class with Sam Armenti. Her lectures are super helpful and she gives a lot of opportunities for extra practice. I email her for questions all the time and she's always super kind and accommodating. I'd love to take a class with her in the future!!

Sam is a wonderful professor who takes quite the figurative beating from students claiming that the class is poorly structured and thus is difficult by extension. If you do the readings and take adequate notes, there is no reason for you to get less than an A in this class. She is always willing to help with coding and wants you to succeed.

The first half of the class was a lot of homework, but the assignments were more manageable once we got into the programming. Prof. Armenti is very organized and structured. Every assignment had a clear rubric. She made sure students understood the main concepts. I hope she teaches more classes in the future!

This class itself was definitely a lot of work but professor Armenti made it bearable, she answers every and any question and gives step by step instructions for every homework and project. Her syllabus says to expect "12 hours per week" on assignments but the majority if not all of them can be done in an hour or less. Would take this class again.
