My assignments (I was in computer applications) were labs on a separate website. If I wanted, I could've passed the entire class in one day. Only bigger assignment was a PowerPoint, which I aced. Attendance is optional, and you can leave when you want. We were supposed to have a final, she forgot to write it and counted the powerpoint as that grade

Professor Xie is a nice person and good professor. She always let us out of class early and the class is not difficult. She likes the students to participate in the classroom discussion so it's not boring. A good class to take when you have a difficult courseload to help balance out your semester.

She is an amazing teacher and super easy class. It is up to you in order to keep up with work. Never any homework, and she lets you leave early always.

Lectures are very confusing. She was not helpful, and students had to correct her often. I felt sorry for her at times since she was very prone to being nervous and stuttering/pausing during lectures. Students were unable to take her seriously. Do all your classwork because she always gives 100's for those assignments. Final is a group project.

Xin Xie did not have a strong enough understanding of C++ to adequately teach . She frequently called out students grades or ask them what their grade was in front of class. When asked a question, she would panic and just test a "cout" function and then quit saying she hasn't programmed in a while. Would give A's because she didn't want to grade.

Boring class if you know the basics about computers and networking already. Also had to do a PowerPoint presentation which does not make any sense since this class contains no information about PowerPoint whatsoever nor is this a speech class. The teacher is a sweet lady, but hard to understand at times. You can leave after she takes attendance.

She is a very nice lady and is very open to your opinions on the different software and hardware. She does have a thick accent but you can understand her. Textbook you may use for tests.

Homework is online and you can work ahead. Tests are (apparently!) open book, even though she never said so. Book was online, so I didn't use the hard copy. Very easy course. She's nice but confusing. This course seems to be too easy for her and she's smarter than teaching people what the Internet is, so she gets off-topic with complicated things.

Homework all online, can work ahead, still need to go to class. Can't leave until she takes attendance halfway-to-end of class. 3 in-class tests using the book (use Google Books! Intro to Comp is on there). VERY thick accent and fairly confusing when she doesn't understand something, but she's very sweet. Great bird course, not really for learning.

She's nice, but flies over the material and the less she understands about a topic the faster she goes. Hard to understand and seems to have anxiety attacks which means it's time for a break. Easy overall and tries to be helpful but lost my interest.

Easy professor teaching a very easy class. You will use the textbook for homework/quizzes a lot so make sure you get it. Everything is open book. You can even do the work way ahead of time since it's posted on myitlab. Take her class if you want a good grade.
