Avoid this professor as possible. Writing was not illegible, and his accent was too heavy to understand. Tests were hard also.

Bad handwriting and a strong accent. Difficult and heavy homework. HWs and Exams are graded by TA which is fair. Midterm and Final are 12-hour take-home exams but hard. He also cuts off students' final grades. Get 96.5+ for an A and get 92+ for an A-.

Strong accent and awful handwriting. He's trying to be a nice guy but being really harsh in terms of grading. The grading criteria was not made clear until the final grade was released--don't be surprised if you get curved down.

Bad writing and bad speaking, I could merely learn by reading textbooks. Not until we receive the final grades, he told us that there is a curve and in order to get an A we need to get 96.5+ so bad experience.

misra gives decent lectures, hard to follow along sometimes bc of his accent tho. i had to read the textbook a lot to learn. hw and midterm were easy, almost everyone i know went into the final with grades in the 90s, but then the final was one of the hardest tests ive taken. he did curve up a little bit, but not for ppl that got B+s and and above

a wonderful + understanding prof. hw is okay (mostly from textbook) and midterm was very fair. 12 hour window for our midterm and final, open note + textbook. super helpful in OH and really knows the subject. lectures are a bit slow but he really solidifies ur understanding! struggled a lot in 120a, but sailing thru 120b taught by him now :)

Prof. Misra grades only on hw (30%), midterm (30%), and final (40%). His lectures are awful, and you could rarely read and understand his hand-written words. Hw is the questions on the textbook, but his hard-to-follow lectures make hw impossible to finish. Maybe he knows a lot in statistics, but he is surely not good at teaching at all.
