MCDB101B . Joshi P M 30 Days Ago

Tough class and lectures were a bit disorganized but its not impossible to do well as long as you put in the work by actually reading the textbook and doing at least some book problems for each chapter. Don't get discouraged by the many bad reviews.

Dr. Joshi is a very kind and knowledgeable professor. The lectures may be slightly rushed sometimes, but all can be cleared up by rewatching them and asking questions in office hours or after class. It's essential to do all the book problems and understand them entirely. Start studying early for this class and stay caught up and you will succeed.

PJ is a very intelligent, caring, professor and he does care about his students. With that being said, lectures were unclear and critical material was not explained.The midterm also had questions relating to things barely talked about or we talked about the lecture after the midterm. Tests were difficult and way too long for the period allotted.

This is a difficult and demanding course, but PJ makes expectations clear and provides many useful resources to set you up for success. Lectures can be difficult to follow but he knows the material well and rewatching the videos and reading the textbook can clarify any gaps. Put in the effort to learn the material thoroughly and you can do well.

A class of nothing but suffering and agony. Some of the concepts should be familiar territory, but he does a very poor job at teaching them.

To give you a glimpse: Had a quiz due the day of the final and he was sending out explanation emails on slides at 8:36pm the night before the final. Terribly disorganized and simply a bad lecturer, which would be fine if the exam difficulty wasn't through the roof. Being sweet as a person doesn't excuse such bad teaching at this point in my degree.
