not a very good or nice professor. dont know if she is still employed but maybe, based on what she did to me, i should have gotten her fired when i had the chance.

Review #2 for Professor Chada! Separations was really interesting to me, and although I did poorly on the midterm, I think he understood that I felt my capabilities didn't match my test scores, and was very helpful and encouraging in the days leading up to the final. Be prepared to learn a lot of content in just 10 weeks.

INCREDIBLY hard labs where you have to implement so many data structures but... god it drills it into your head really well. Years later and I still remember all the data structures taught and use it in job interviews, so I have to hand it to Mirza. She is nice but tests+labs are REALLY difficult. Hw is easy textbook problems. START EARLY ON LABS.

Homework was hard, but fun. Concepts were definitely interesting and Mirza is the best at explaining. She the goat.

Do the homework, grading is normal, all the tests info are on slides, just study them, don't know why people don't like that, better than having no info on the slides. Provided a cheatsheet but cheatsheets are only good for studying. As long as you show up, which college students dont, easy A.

Online during the summer. The work was very doable and was always available for help during office hours. One short quiz every week with plenty of time to take it and online textbook assignment due every week on Sunday. Mandatory sections. Final is group project

Homework is the standard amount for a class like this, and the labs are fun rather than tedious. The lectures can sometimes be a drag. However, you could always finish the homework during lecture time. Otherwise, a very standard and enjoyable class.

Taking discrete math with Professor Mirza is really my great fortune! She explains things super clearly and her lectures are well-organized and inspiring. She is very accessible outside class and is super warm. She's always happy to help you with any course stuff or even your general academic life outside class. Surely one of the best professors!

Midterm was very long and extremely difficult compared to what was provided as practice in lecture and in labs/homework/midterm reviews. Final was decent but still challenging (written portion was barely like the final review provided). Don't take this class unless you're very confident in your coding skills.

Professor Mirza was an amazing professor; her lectures were mostly clear and she was willing to answer questions to clarify topics. She was very understanding and clearly cared about her students. I highly recommend taking this class with her.

CHE5 is a very good introductory chemE course. You have a biweekly labs over the quarter when you make biodiesel and tie into topics learnt in class. Hws take some time but are very doable. Easy course, no final but final project.

CHE5 . Chada J P 2 Years Ago

Professor Chada is very nice. If you have no prior knowledge of the curriculum, make sure to read the textbook and go to office hours! When it comes to due dates make sure to turn them in on time because he is less lenient than other professors. As for the lab section, DON'T BE LATE or he will confront you about it.

Weekly group projects where you get to meet other intelligent people in the same major. Has great lectures and explains problem-solving strategies needed for homework. He is accessible outside of the classroom either during in-office hours or online (loves using nectir). Overall awesome professor, make sure you get to know him!

Professor Mirza has been absolutely amazing for cs24. Besides the smile she puts on everyone's face just by getting excited about certain topics, she is caring, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable in computer science. I truly learned a lot and I think she is probably one of the best cs professors in the department.

Really great lectures, always learned a lot. Definitely go to lectures, since tests are based on lecture material. Topics are not always easy, so try to take notes, and make sure to start labs/programming assignments EARLY. A good amount of work is required to do well in the class, don't let the good ratings make you think it'll be a free easy A.
