"Have to cut Professor Wein some slack because it was her first semester teaching here, but she had limited knowledge of data structures and often couldn't offer support while teaching certain topics. Overall extremely nice and respectful teacher who wanted us to succeed, exams were fair. "

"Professor Wein is helpful, kind, and warm. Course is of moderate difficulty, definitely challenges students in some of the problem sets. However, adequate support is available: office hours from the professor and the TAs are very helpful."
