CollegeI really enjoyed Professor Pandey's classes. He is very attentive to the students' needs, providing clear lectures and straightforward instructions for exams. He actively seeks to engage with students and fosters communication and interaction among them. I highly recommend!
Pandey is a young and engaging professor. She hold pop-quizzes, and has three midterms plus a final, but with decent studying and homework prep, they are very fair. She is super personable in office hours and clearly wants students to do well in the class and understand the material.
Very fair professor, while the content can be difficult her lecture slides are very detailed and she explains them very well. There are 2 "class exams", a midterm and a final so it can be a lot but she gives plenty of resources to help study for them. Difficult class but study well and take advantage of an amazing professor and you will be fine!
Puja Pandey is the goat. Explains fairly dense material in an intuitive way. 4 homeworks (30%, part writing/theoretical, part coding, lowest dropped), 6 pop quizzes (10%, lowest dropped), 2 in-class exams, 1 midterm, 1 final (all exams 20% each). Very fair study guide questions and exam difficulties, super nice in OH.
Pandey is QUEEN. Her lectures are very well structured, and she reinforces the stuff she goes over within the same lecture over and over. Her tests are basically the same structure and format as her practice exams. I was never scared of any pop-quizzes because she prepares you so well. Her outfit slays sometimes. LOVE HER LET HER KNOW SHE IS LOVED.
Kanu is one of the best Comm profs I've had :) He is a new lecturer but he is extremely caring towards his students and is absolutely hilarious. Since 187 is "Data Science" Comm, it is heavy on beginner coding and data analysis, but the content/assignments are taught step-by-step and are very doable and easy to master even for coding newbies.
