CS 2110

Professor Basit is probably the best prof for this class. Her lectures and slides are by far the most helpful and she's always willing to help you out during and outside of class. The homework for this class was a bit excessive for me and usually took longer than it should have. The instructions for the homework were consistently unclear as well and their test cases for your code was sometimes confusing. The tests were alright although sometimes the questions were confusing and stupidly specific. Labs varied a lot too and sometimes they were incredibly easy or extremely hard. You also have weekly online quizzes and in-class activities which are both straightforward. Overall, this class is a bit disorganized but you definitely learn a lot and Professor Basit is great so take it with her

Professor Basit is really, really nice. I always asked her annoying questions but she never got annoyed (or had a great facade at least). This is an easy class overall.

Relatively easy, but also sort of boring. Professor Basit is amazing, and will make sure to answer questions very well in lecture (sometimes at the expense of getting content in). Required for CS majors, but taking this class for fun is not totally insane.

This class is a mixed bag. Basit talks a lot about what code is supposed to do, but not a lot about how to do it. All the code is already written out and she just reads it off the board. Every class, you are expected to turn in an in-class activity which is graded for completion. She usually lectures till the last minute then reads off the directions for the activity. The in class activities are due by the end of the day so you end up doing them outside of class. I found lab to be super helpful to complete the homework assignments, especially because Basit's notes are highly conceptual. Her notes are good to review before exams though because half of the exam is conceptual and the other half is two coding questions. While the hw assignments are difficult, prof gives you plenty of time to complete them. My biggest advice for succeeding in this class is to go to OHs if you need help.

Professor Basit is the best teacher for this course. She cares about students and how they do in the class and works her hardest to help everyone understand the material. The in-class activities and weekly quizzes don't take long at all, though the first exam is relatively hard. Overall, this is the best professor for CS 2110.

Prof. Basit is the sweetest professor ever! She truly cares for her students and is there to help with anything. If I ever had questions about the way things were graded, she would listen carefully to what I have to say and either agree or take the time to explain to me what was wrong with my thinking. All lectures were asynchronous which was nice since you could watch at your own speed. My cohort was useless so that was annoying but it didn't really matter since they don't force the cohorts on you. Labs and quizzes were pretty easy. Exams were fair. Homeworks were somewhat problematic for me. Sometimes I felt that they really didn't give us enough information and it would take a while to figure out what they were looking for. Having said that, TAs were really helpful.

Prof Basit is nice but can be monotone. This class is pretty forgiving (I have gotten an F on every test and still expect a B/B+ in this class). That being said, if you don't like CS or don't plan on doing a major or minor in CS, don't take it. It is time consuming if you don't have any java experience and didn't find 111x a breeze, and most people I know that I have graduated and are well into their IT/business careers have said that they have never used java.
The TAs are great and the grading policies are pretty lenient. I recommend going to OH as soon as you start struggling on your HW because the TAs are helpful for the most part and you'll end up saving a lot of your time.
