Professor Nahapetian is decent at lecturing. However, since I had no experience in programming, the class was very alien to me, so I went to her office hours, where I did learn a lot, and she learned a lot from me. Point is, she saw me improve throughout this course and gave me a good grade because of it. Basically, if you show that you're willing to work hard and improve your abilities, she'll give you a nice grade. She believes mostly in improvement through results.

Great professor, great class. Makes an effort to learn and remember your name, easy to ask questions to, open to suggestions and communication. Responds to emails quickly and thoroughly. Very fair. Interesting class, I definitely recommend taking it. One of the best (and most interactive) classes I've taken so far.
