CS 1110

Prof. Khargonkar is really nice and engaging! Most classes are just lecture for the first half, practice for the second half. Her teaching is fine, most of the issues from the class come from departamental decisions. Most of your grade comes from quizzes, a final project, and a final exam, and the quizzes and final exam are intentionally difficult and meant to trick you. While you can study, a lot of your success comes down to being able to fundamentally understand code (all quizzes/exam are on paper), which wasn't as easy for me. I did a lot better with the take home assignments (PAs and the final project) because I had a lot more time to mess with the code. The class itself is in python, so if you are already familiar (which I was), actually learning is relatively easy. I imagine it's okay for people with no experience with python, the learning curve isn't that bad. - they'll teach you everything you need to know.

TLDR; Khargonkar is a good professor, the class structure itself (which she doesn't make) isn't good. #tCFF23

Very nice, but TAs are way more helpful. Tests were pretty difficult and she moved quickly through lectures sometimes. Most of grade comes from assignments and labs, tests are only 10% of grade (final is 15%). Can definitely be hard when coding for first time, definitely need to put time in and do all the practice problems to do well. Not as easy as it seems.

Couldn't recommend this class more. I already knew a little bit of Python before taking this class, but this class really holds your hand if you have absolutely zero experience. The professor explained each topic extremely thoroughly and I felt like I actually benefited from attending lectures. The workload is extremely light with one quiz and one programming assignment each week, but most of your grade comes from exams (which aren't too hard). The labs were hard/confusing sometimes but as long as you show up you get full credit. #tCFF24

Professor Khargonkar makes this the most misleading course possible for the 1110 level. She prefaces the class by saying no prior programming knowledge is necessary, and then goes on to ask for incredibly high standards on both tests and assignments later on in the year. Even with the help of several CS majors and every resource available, I was unable to complete the final project because of how ridiculous the standards were. In addition to that, the professor provides zero leniency on just about anything related to this class. Nothing against her personally, but she is a pretty awful lecturer and professor. Would not recommend under any circumstances

Professor Khargonkar is a very good professor and I definitely recommend taking her course. Although I have prior programming experience, I do feel that she teaches at a manageable pace no matter your skill in CS. Additionally, if you do feel a bit behind, weekly labs allow you to ask either your groupmates or the TAs questions. During my semester, our quizzes were online and open-IDE. Our tests started digital, but we changed to pencil and paper, which I assume is still the norm. Overall, amazing class, and I recommend Professor Khargonkar.
