Comment:

Took her online ISDS 351 this semester, and honestly probably the easiest class Ive ever taken. She gave out online quizzes for every chapter each week, which you can find all answers on quizlet. Couple group projects that are easy but her instruction videos are very outdated. Tests are basically straight out of the textbook and study guide!

Professor Krishnamurthi is an amazing teacher. She cares about her students as goes above and beyond to ensure that we succeed. The class had many small group projects that we're that will help your grade. The class weekly quizzes that are submitted online and the lowest quiz is dropped. I suggest that you read the book to ensure a letter A grade.

Pros- quizzes can be found on quizlet and are pretty much the exams. Cons- boring lectures, HEAVY accent, rude, does not reply to emails nor give feedback on assignments. Make sure your teams work together or you wont pass.

Pros: Quizzes give you the answers, so you will definitely have 18% that it's worth to your final grade. You can skip class and still pass. Course material itself is at a high school level. Exams are 100% textbook Cons: grades based on quantity, not quality. TONS of group work (seems like she is just trying to keep you busy throughout the course.

Comment:

This class was easy enough to pass. It consisted of 2 midterms, a final, and a few projects/assignments. The main thing to do well is to READ the chapters since there is a lot of memorization on the exams. And you have 2 attempts for the quizzes which are easy.

Comment:

There are assignments, a project, quizzes, and 3 exams. Exams can be tough if you don't read the chapters. So basically, there's lots of memorization. Quizzes due each week, but you can find the answers on Quizlet or Course hero. This class is easy to pass if you put in some effort and do all the assignments.

There are quizzes that are due every week, 3 exams, and a few assignments. You have to read the Chapters to do well on Exams. Also use Quizlet to help you study for the exams and quizzes. Like someone has written, the professor's lectures are dry and boring.

Quizzes due almost every week, 3 exams, 2 assignments, and a group project. Overall this class should be easy to pass. However, exam 2 was scheduled for March 24-25 and she changed it to a week early with only four day notice before the exam which isn't fair to the students!

Comment:

Professor Malini is okay. Her lectures are dry and boring, you do not have to attend because her lectures are not relevant to the material. She has very little patience for someone who races through lectures and has poor English skills. If I could, I would chose a different professor to take.

Take this class online. Weekly quizzes, one easy group project, a few projects, and Proctor U exams. Manageable if you stay organized. Didn't listen to her podcasts except for exam study guides!!! Those are on point to what is on the exams

Easy class!! Exams are exactly like her study guides! Which you can find easily on the textbooks. Other than that the group projects were a headache due to classmates not participating. I hate how you need the access code to take quizzes to take 4 quizzes. If you are a good test taker Dont buy the access code if you wish to save money.

Comment:

By far the worst professor I have ever had. This class was supposed to be easy considering the material, but her class structure was hard to follow because of too many assignments, quizzes. Grades harshly on the projects, although she never replied to the emails regarding those assignments. She seemed like she was tired of teaching. Time Consuming

Took this class at 7am and honestly, it was quite manageable in my opinion. Easy chapter quizzes and group projects are a breeze. The material is actually very useful in the real world so if you are looking for some skills to apply to your career go to class! She's a very nice lady too.

If you have to take this course, please take it someone else unless this is your only option. You have to be a self taught in order to do well in the class because she teaches nothing. Not easily accessible outside the class either. There are many mistakes in her videos that she needs to fix.

To many things too cover in this class: two assignments (one individual, one group), quizzes every week, 3 exams. Exams are straight from the text book. Lots of memorizing . Says she would curve but at end there is NO curving. Does not reply to your emails until the tenth time.

Great class overall. There are 15 quizzes that aren't stressful. You do have to study for the exams as there is a lot of memorization. There is also 2 assignments and a group project that isn't too time assuming. As long as you study and put in the work you will get a good grade.

Comment:

Time consuming class, the professor won't reply until it is your tenth time sending the same email. There are three exams, few quizzes and three assignments ( one Group) . Exams come from the text book so book is required for this class. Overall not as easy as the other students have mentioned.
