Comment:

She gave an unofficial ungraded assignment over a weekend. I spent a few hours and was having trouble with it so I just waited until class Monday morning to have it explained. Except at the start of class she kicked out everyone who hadn't finished it. So I got no lecture that day and an absence marked, which in her class if you get 4 you fail.

Comment:

Do not take notes when she is speaking or else she will verbally, emotionally and mentally shame you. Agree with her on all issues and even comment that she looks beautiful with glasses on, fall to your knees and worship her and MAYBE you might have a chance of getting a B in her class. The human brain is flawed when it comes to her exams.

Comment:

She is amazing, any negative feedback on this site is due to people who either goofed off or were obviously uninterested in the subject. Take notes at your own risk, sometimes she will yell at you and call you a scribe but other times the notes will be extremely critical for the test. Its a wild ride but a lot of fun.

Comment:

Durga Suresh is a fantastic professor, her tests are very hard but passable if you take the time to study. Participation is practically mandatory and she will pick out students who don't participate to answer questions sometimes. I finished that class knowing the material like the back of my hand and I would gladly take her again. Not for slackers

Extremely knowledgeable professor. She may come off strong, like any passionate teacher would, but she knows what she's talking about, and is willing to help you in almost any case. Most definitely one of my favorite professors I've ever had. Following the class, don't goof off, and you'll love her.

She is a great teacher. Understands the subject matter so well it just spills into your brain. Best teacher so far. Don't take her lightly cause she will push you at times but will make you smile doing it. Highly Recommended.

Comment:

Durga rules. Hates everyone that is not in Comp Sci, so if you hate her, thats probably why. Tough class, but I learned more with here than any other teacher that teaches slower. Very knowledgeable, funny, and doesn't get mad when you poke fun at her, especially since that gives her a reason to make fun of you right back.
