MATH108A . Bakshi R P 9 Days Ago

Lectures are clear and structured, and she encourages the class to participate and test our understanding. Grading is very fair. If you show up to every lecture, take good notes, and study well outside of class, you will pass easily.

MATH108A . Bakshi R P 11 Months Ago

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.

MATH4A . Bakshi R P 2 Months Ago

Super good prof, the only difficult part of this class is the fact that its when math starts getting extra conceptual. I never went to class but she posts comprehensive notes and the section is super helpful. Her tests are much easier than the practice she gives out so its pretty easy to do well.

MATH4A . Bakshi R P 2 Months Ago

Incredibly clear lectures that were informative and understandable. Homework was lenient but helpful, and the test prep was incredible. Tests were not too hard with generous curve.

Her lectures are very thorough and easy to follow. All homework are graded online with unlimited attempts, so they back up your grade. She also gives you practice problems to prepare for her midterm and final, which are exactly like what you would see on the actual exam. She does have a slight Indian accent but it's good enough to understand.

The lectures were easy to follow with tons of practice provided, and the midterm and final were exactly what you'd expect and often copied homework problems.
