Nice professor, but had issues with communication towards the end of the semester. She was unresponsive to nearly all of my emails and even when we did set a time to meet, she did not show up.

Cool teacher to have for CMSC115. There wasn't much work or stuff to learn so I can't really speak on if she's a good lecturer. All I can say is that she's a very easygoing and nice person who was very lenient with deadlines/extensions and gave out a bunch of A's. Would recommend her.

This professor is who you want if you are just starting out with computer science. While I went into the class with some experience, it was clear she put in effort to help beginners learn just as efficiently as more experienced programmers. She is extremely nice and lenient, basically every assignment has a 2 day grace period where you can turn it in late with no penalty, she will grant you an extension without any reason, just send her an email. She also has corrections for her midterms. Overall, this is a CMSC122 was a very easy class with some fun learning opportunities. I absolutely recommend this professor.

Honestly an amazing professor. Even with no prior coding knowledge the class makes it easy to succeed. Had midterms corrections which was a godsend. Even with the projects we had, you could make the website about whatever you wanted as long as it fits the requirements. TBH attendance is not needed if you understand the basics of the languages taught. The lectures are recorded even if u need to miss a class.

This woman is the epitome of what a professor should be. Jen is sweet and cares a lot about her students success. She is super accommodating and is very lenient with deadlines, all you have to do is ask. She let us do midterm corrections and even let us turn in one project for a project AND for the final. She is a literal godsend and wants to see you succeed, the course itself can be tricky if you fall behind, but Jen and her TAs are there to help.

Amazing professor, very helpful and kind to everyone and is great at keeping the lectures interesting. Class consisted of making your own websites which I found very fun.

Professor Manly is such a nice teacher and is always willing to help. She records each of her lectures so they are easy to refer back to you. She also has loose deadlines and is lenient with extensions.

Honestly a great and lovely professor. She really does want to see the students succeed in her class and provides a 48-hour grace period or more if you email her. She explains as much as possible, especially when a student does not understand. The course itself could be challenging, especially if you do not have experience, but it is not impossible. Attend office hours/TA hours if you need extra help because they definitely help. Her assignments typically consist of small projects, knowledge checks, and one final project (you begin working on it early in the semester). I had no knowledge of comp. science at all before this class, but if you put in the effort you can get a good grade. Overall a great/fun class with a very chill professor.

Amazing professor, she's one of the nicest people I've ever met. She's very lenient with grading, and especially in this course you're not expected to have any background knowledge. Pacing is perfect and she's very receptive to questions, she responds to emails relatively quickly, and she really just wants to see everyone succeed. Very lenient with deadlines, I turned in some major assignments due in November by the end of the semester and she still graded it with only a 10% deduction. I had prior programming knowledge, but my friends in this class were completely new to it and still succeeded. If you have the chance to take this professor, no matter the class, take her. She is amazing.

Genuinely such a nice person really loves to teach. Not only is this class pretty easy but its also enjoyable. She and her TAs grade pretty easily and curved the only exam we had all semester. Final is a project that you work on all semester. She posts recordings of her classes and is always willing to help over email and office hours. Takes work super late, makes it really really hard to do poorly in this class everyone should get an A if you give the minimum effort.

I start my emails off with "hey girl hey" and end them with "period". She complimented them. Sweetheart, 5 star.

Great professor with a genuine love/understanding for teaching and her students. If you are new to programming like I was she is the teacher for you. Her class is moderately challenging but she gives many chances to turn in late work for full credit and will heavily curve tests if needed. Overall great class and teacher.

Sometimes I cannot believe Professor Manly is even real. She is one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever met. Her passion for teaching and her love for her students are clearly demonstrated through her continued preparation for class, challenging but reasonable workload, among many other things. If you're new to programming, this is the professor you'll want to have. She will get you interested in computer science and keep you excited to show up to class.
