In this class you go in and your given a programming assignment and you have 2 hours to do it. The assignments usually are to do with the lecture from her CS240 class. You also have graduate students along with Dr. Wilson if you need assistance. There are 12 lab assignments and a mid term and final.

Dr. Wilson is a very good teacher. She makes the subject easier to learn than most teachers and that helps a lot because programming isn't the easiest thing to learn. You will cover a lot of material in this class so be prepared. You have a total of 6 programming assisgnments and 4 tests.

Dr. Wilson is clear and explicit. The program assignments and tests are pretty easy. The class note is a main source of her test contents.

Dr. Wilson is very easy. You only need to show up around once a week to get an A in this class.

For most of the semester, the first half of each class period was spent reviewing material from the previous class period. Only the last half introduced any new material. This causes the class to move at a rather tedious pace. That said, if you take even fair notes, you can probably do without the textbook (Weiss). If you did fine in 338, you will do fine in this class, as most of the material is an expansion on 338 concepts.

She is a great teacher. She explains difficult material in a way that makes it easy to understand. Many times she uses stories to help you remember the material. She is a very helpful teacher. I never felt uncomfortable asking her questions outside of class.

Mrs. Wilson was a good teacher. She's pretty easy and explained the subjects pretty clearly. The tests weren't bad, mostly programming segments, writing short code, etc.

Mrs. Wilson is extremely boring! Class once a week is sufficient to pass the class and do well on the tests.

If you learn better through analogies--she's the teacher for you. Very helpful especially with your programming assignments.

THIS IS THE MOST BORING CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN!!! She has an annoying voice, and I litrally slept every day, an not missed anything, because the lectures move so slowly through the material. I would not recommend this class.
