Comment:
Bodas has to be one of the worst professors I have ever taken. Exams are stupid and hard. She is incredibly unorganized. I attended most of her lectures and still had to learn most of the material my own. Avoid at all costs.

Tough professor, sometimes hard to follow her examples, exams are pretty difficult. You need to show up to class and pay attention 100% of the time.

I took professor Bodha's class in Fall 2018. Each of her lectures is important because she covers a lot in one lecture. If you miss one lecture, then you will have hard times in rest of the classes, so makeup as soon as possible if you missed. I like her lecture because she explains each concept VERY well, even the difficult concepts. HW: 1/lecture

She is hard but honestly if you put in the effort and do the assignments even if they are not counted towards your grade you can not fail this class. Try to learn the concepts and re write the examples given in class, they will be the same on the exams and quizes.

Does not finish problems or examples. Exam are extremely hard and are more conceptual than anything. Half the class was at a D average come the 2nd midterm. Strong accent, but understandable. Avoid if you can!

Comment:
I studied every day, spent 3+ hours on each homework, took careful notes of the textbook material, and yet I still failed. I often did better than most on the tests as seen on Canvas and so I expected there to be a curve. But THERE IS NO CURVE!!! Maybe there is for her other classes but she definitely did not curve for my class. Do not recommend.

She is a hard professor but overall she is an amazing one. She tells you exactly what will be on the tests and quizzes and I strongly recommend that you visit her office hours and do the homework. She is very accessible outside of class and she is very caring and wants people to succeed. If you put the effort and work into it then you will be fine.

Comment:
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND u get some exposure to calc before taking her class bc she can go pretty fast. She TELLS u what will be on exams & they're based off of previous exams + examples. No graphing in math71 class. She sometimes doesn't finish examples but focuses on how to solve for it at least. Willing to help if u ask & does her best to clarify.

I studied for 6-10 hours for every exam and spent 2+ hours on each homework assignment to study/practice and failed with a D+. Half my friends passed but they said they're just naturally good at math. She's nice but goes too fast for normal students to learn from her lectures. Her tests are much harder than anything she gives to you to practice.

Comment:
Her British + Indian accent makes the lecture extra hard to understand. She is a very fast speaker so it is easy to lose concentration of whatever she is speaking of. Attendance points is 0% of your total grade so lectures do not matter. You can learn everything from the book but if you can't self study, go to her classes!

Comment:
Despite being a very fast speaker, she did her best to make sure students understood. She is more than willing to answer your questions before, during, or after class & she's not rude about it! If there is 1 thing I can suggest for her is she should go over problems w/ the same difficulty as the exam problems. The exam is 5x harder than the hw!

Homework is harder than the problems in lecture. Exams are even harder than homework. If you have confidence that you can handle math course. Try her class, let her destroy whatever kind of confidence you have.

She tends to spend more time proving theorems rather than actually showing how to apply them in the class. Most learning is done on your own.

She is a nice and funny teacher, but very hard class. Tests and quizzes are hard but she gives few test corrections and online quizzes. Passing with a C is possible but very hard. ATTEND THE WORKSHOPS

Random stories everyday. Makes lessons over complicated and doesn't get straight to the point. Rambles on too much and talks to fast.

She can be really sweet if you go out of your way to get help, but still most of the class fails quizzes and tests. It is more heavily weighted towards chapter tests, so if you do goon on those you'll be okay.
