Awesome professor if you want to pass Programming 1. Dr. Trana will provide you with the tools you need to pass the final exam. Just make sure to pay attention and allot a time to practice outside of class. P.S Master tracing!

Prof. Rachel is one of the best profs I've had in this school. She has very organized info that can be easily digested. She's very lenient on missing class. She actually gives 11 absent days. She even posts the lecture and materials talked over in class for students to study which are pretty helpful if you miss something.
