Is a very demanding professor and requires a lot of high level academic readings that were very confusing and wordy. I understand we are honors, but she gave 50 page readings over than span of two days. Can be a harsh grader and picky at times, but you must participate in discussion to get a good grade.

Alexis is one of the best professors I've had. She is so insanely supportive and helpful. You can tell she is very dedicated to her work. Readings can be a lot but you don't have to fully read them.

This class is a free A but she is a very aggravating professor. In my view, she comes off as being quite smug and condescending. Lots of snide complaints regarding how people weren't reading the snoozefest 50-page pdfs she assigned twice a week (what a surprise, it's not like this is a 1xx gened). She also randomly started accusing the class of using ChatGPT to write discussion post responses about halfway through the semester, and her solution was to make them even more tedious and uninteresting to do. It feels like she knows very little about programming, AI, etc. and probably shouldn't be teaching a course with the word "computing" in its title.

This class is CMSC/WGSS so the time was split between CS and WGSS. During Alexis’s lectures, the topics were very interesting but I feel like the lectures could have been more engaging, like letting students have an interactive experience or something. She is always happy to answer questions and is reliable for and helpful during office hour appointments.

Dr. Lothian's class is one of the few times at UMD where I really felt like I learned something. Thank you for an amazing semester!
