Do not take her class! She is a terrible professor who grades harshly and goes through material far too quickly. Doesn't explain well and expects you to know everything.

Best math teacher i have ever had, if you struggle with math do yourself a favor and take her class, she is wonderful and really wants everyone to do well. Also, worth mentioning that Homework is 12% of your grade.

Overall decent professor. Makes you work hard for your grade but if you stay on top of the material you will be fine. Pretty much weekly homework and biweekly quizzes. Exams count for half of the total grade so they are important. Final is difficult

I loved having Gopalakrishnan this semester. I thought it was going to be awful from all of the reviews on here but she is so easy to understand. You definitely need to take down the notes she writes on the board and stay on top of your homework, but if you do you will be fine. Super sweet lady and one of the best professors I've had so far

Basically had to teach myself all the material. Lack of poor communication did not help either. Would like to think that she has so many emails that she just misses a few, but 99% sure that she ignores emails she doesn't feel like answering, mainly those about the online coursework grade. Seems like a nice lady, but poor for an online instructor.

Her lectures a great but full of information and she can get annoyed if asked to explain something again. I would meet with her after class and if asked a question asked already in class she would get annoyed but obviously thats why I'm there because I still need clarification. Exams were on the difficult side I love math but not with her.

if you are taking this class. i would strongly recommenced taking another teacher. this woman is by far the worst teacher i have ever had in my life. she is very unclear while teaching. she goes very fast. when others have asked her to slow down, she has blatantly said no. There could be 3 min left in the class and she will start a new chapter, whi

i highly recommend finding a different professor for this coarse. one of the worse teachers I've encountered. assigns incredible amounts of homework and grades harshly on quizes and exams. She never curves grades and a large portion of the class is has dropped out.

Really nice women, but kind of hard to understand because of the language barrier. Weekly quizzes give you many opportunities to improve your grade if you keep up with the homework otherwise you will be lost. She is not very helpful whe I went to her for help.

PRE CAL, class was very hard for me. She explains everything very clearly and sends you a lot of homework, which you should do to be able to solve exams. Still the exams were long and some of the problems were harder tha the homework. She is very nice and intelligent. DO THE HOMEWORK and you'll pass.Oh and memorize ALL the formulas and graphs..

She is probably easy for an easy class like MA101 but if you try to take her for the harder classes be prepared to be lost unless you already know very well what you're doing. She assumes you know a lot of things that you probably don't and acts very cheerful when you get back failed quizzes or go to drop her class. Sucks.

Very nice professor who only wants you to do well in her class. Her broken English makes it hard to understand her at times, but everything is straight forward. Open book quizzes and tests. The tests are harder than what you learn and practice in class. She is extremely helpful if you have any questions.

She taught an online intro to stats course. She was consistanly absent from this course. It was basiscly a self taught course with no teaching, no lecturing, no feedback, no replies to email, no help given when asked. Ignored questions, ignored emails. Extremely poor instruction, poor communication, Do not take any classes with this instructor!!!

This lady is great. She is very kind. Although she does talk fast, if you ask her to slow down, she will. Do the bookwork! It really helps. And the online homework can bring up your grade so much..it's very easy. Good class, sweet lady, I would recommend it.

She is a good teacher but sometimes it is difficult to understand her. Sometimes you have to ask her to slow down because she doesn't realize how fast she is going. If you take good notes and do the homework and review before quizes you should do good in her class.

Had her as a freshman for both Calc's...I think she's excellent. She knows what she's talking about...Like her witty humour and promptness in class. I'd recommend her to anyone who has serious interest in Calc..stop complanin for gods sake!!!!!

This teacher does her best to try to make people understand what she is talking about, she sometimes can be difficult to understand and moves quickly. But that is because alot of material needs to be covered in a short time. It is a difficult course and will be difficult regardless of who you take.
