University Lecturer Sanna Suoranta was elected the Computer Science teacher of the year 2025. Sanna received praise for her clear teaching materials, engaging assingments and well-structured instructions. Students appreciated having lectures available online and the fast turnaround time for feedback.
Here are some highlights from the course feedback for CS-A1111 Ohjelmoinnin peruskurssi Y1 and CS-A112 Ohjelmoinnin peruskurssi Y2:
- The lectures being available online was very useful.
- Interesting assignments, good material (easy to understand) and very nice staff.
- I learn by doing, so the assignments were strong plus. Also the fact that the tasks were at each round first easier and the requirements increased with the learning curve.
- The instructions were super clear and they helped to really understand everything.
- Tutor availability and fast feedback time was definitely the biggest benefit.
- I especially enjoyed and appreciated getting to use the skills and information I learned right away.
- Project was fun!
