Amazing professor, I wish I could have her again. She made differential equations seem simple to everyone. The exams were straightforward and the practice problems prepared us for them. Cheatsheet notecards allowed for every exam. Loved prof Bakshi, she is for the students!

Honestly best math prof I've had. Amazing concise lectures. Always stops to ask if we understood and will explain relentless until we understand. 3 stars is too low for her. Wish I get her again.

A very heavy accent, as well as her illegible board book writing, many times I needed to guess what words she was saying. Her lectures were very average and just read from a book, I didn't learn a lot from them. Don't take this class if you want to learn mostly through lectures from an instructor.

she's a really nice and caring teacher, for someone like me who is more skilled in STEM than humanities, i think her teaching style was good. she writes everything on the whiteboard so you have time to copy it all down while she teaches, making time to take questions in lecture. not much HW, just enough to understand the material!

She's a very nice person but as a teacher, I don't think her methods were effective. She doesn't really explain anything well and kind of just repeats stuff verbatim from the textbook. Exams were very tough as well. Overall, the class structure was all over the place and unfortunately, she's THE worst professor I've ever had.
