I didn't actually have this professor but the night professor was forced to use her curriculum. Her tests are poorly written, and trick questions are her favorite. She will try to trip you up on semantics. Reading the textbook is a must to get by in her class. I would never want to take another classes headed by her.

Took her for CS8 during fall. Wasn't easy because it was an online class. The notes she gave weren't really helpful, so treat the book like your bible. Tests and assignments were hard, really need to understand the concept as she emphasizes on thinking base on your understanding. Do not miss an assignment/discussion for online class.

I've had this professor for 3 CS classes now. She can be incomprehensible at times but she always takes the time to answer questions and show examples. Shes not around campus for office hours very much so if you don't pull everything you need to learn out of the lectures then you're going to spend a lot of time in the book. Sit in the front

She doesn't care about her students and her communications and directions are condescending. She'll also backtrack on her answers or address the point of a question. As a CS major, I dread having her as a professor. She's often unfair and capricious, not to mention abrasive and uncaring. Thought I'd post my complaint as a warning to all.

Her quiz questions at times are vague and unintelligible. She has a tendency to value her own ego over extending herself to her students. Frankly I found her behavior to be rude and unhelpful for the most part. Pick another professor if you have a choice.

She's a good teacher. The negative comments on here are simply because her exams are challenging and conceptual rather than easily memorized HW problems. Like any programming class, much learning is on your own crunching through LOTS of HW problems. She's tough but fair, and I appreciated the push to learn the material better. Also kinda cute--lol.

Terrible professor. I took her online class and she did no work on her end. I understand it is harder for a professor to teach online, but she didn't even try. Everything was provided by the textbook and publishers provided website. She never gives useful feedback and it seems as if she doesn't care if her students get anything out of the class.

An "old school" professor who doesn't teach so much as leave her students to teach themselves. She rarely answers a question with clarity. Her testing is inconsistent, a fair test as likely as an exam on material not covered in a course. With her, anything is possible & everything is fair game. Fair is what she says it is, so you take your chances.

This was an online course, by reading some of the reviews seems others with online courses had the same experience. Doesn't post on discussions even when she says she will and her feedback is crucial to assignment. Doesn't answer questions. Very unclear instructions. Not good at managing the course website. Doesn't care about students.

Online class. Very little feedback. Our text material is not friendly to searching, as we have no text book. Quiz structure changes without warning.She does answer most questions promptly, but does not correct obvious mistakes either in material or quizzes.

This professor did a good job. Some questions on test/quiz are a little off, and corrected a couple of her mistakes on tests. Overall a Good Professor, Got an A.

Great instructor. She always provides helpful comments on the discussion boards and on the assignments. I look forward to taking the advanced visual basic class with her in the spring.

I took this as an online class. In online classes you mostly have to teach yourself from the book and the homework, but Prof. Darwiche always answered students' questions promptly and I believe she is very dedicated to her students.

Her lecture is bad....the book doesnt seem to help that much in the HW....and she keeps drawing useless things on the board....avoid if you are new to programming.

Prof. Darwiche was not very active at all during this online class. She was not very helpful and often either ignored questions or answered with inaccurate/incorrect information. Nothing covered beyond the book, assignments/quizzes/tests direct from publisher bank. Easy class, but NO professor effort at all. Save your money and read the book alone

Although having alot of experience,Ms Darwiche seemed very detached when it comes to teaching less knowledgeable and less experienced students.I think that she would be alot more willing to help students who already know some programming.I doubt she's able to reach those that don't have yet the grasp of programming. she needs to work w/ both evenly

Thanks to her, I ended up having to retake the cl****. She never fully answered my questions and just left me scratching my head. If you do have her as your professor, drop the cl****. Take it next semester!

The worst teacher I have ever had. Never explains anything she wants you to do. Doesn't teach and doesn't care about the students.
