Reviews of professor Mary Taboada-Gonzalez

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I do not recommend taking her class. She is a tough grader. Doesnt help students at all. If you dont know how to programming, you will fail her class.

She's a nice woman. Course content is heavy and you may not understand much from lectures so read the text. You can always visit her in her office. Don't procrastinate programs as you will fail. All points matter so do the assignments on time. Not an easy class, but it's worth it. Take notes and practice sample programs. Ask questions.

If you have to take a computer programming class then look somewhere else and Not take it with this professor. She does not explain anything or teach students the topics and expects people to learn a whole new language all on our own using only textbooks and giving problems that we have to work on ourselves. Would write more but donthavespace.

Great professor! Course is very organized and gives many extra credit opportunities. Reading the book gives an actual understanding of the lessons she gives, so reading them before coming into class would help a lot. The reading isnt to give a lot of workload for you, its to only benefit you. Make sure to do ALL the assignments to get an easy A.

I would not recommend anyone to take C++ with this woman she is very difficult to understand when it comes to this particular computer language but I do recommend though is taking tutorial of this particular language on YouTube over this lady so don't take a chance with this professor!

Very caring teacher. She clearly tries her best with teaching, problem is, you can't learn or teach computer science in a 1.5 hour lecture 2 times a week. CS, is like solving puzzles; Intuition, seeing what works, trial and error. Those things are only developed through staring at your computer for hours a day, and failing. Rely on you and the book

She is the worst professor I ever had. Ive taken professors that have had bad ratings to find that the students were just lazy to goto class and they were great. She starts off class with lectures that have nothing to do with the program then use a PowerPoint to teach her lesson taking 95% of class time. Then we code and she does not slow down.

The absolute worst professor ever. This is supposed to be an INTRO class, unfortunately their is no intro, just programming and writing code with limited to no help besides sample programs and text but, if you try to write code that looks similar to the samples provided you will get a 0 for unoriginal work. This prof is a living contradiction. RUN!
