Comment:
I've had Dr. Prayaga for a few classes now, her classes are pretty simple and straight forward. 6 assignments/ projects every 2 weeks a midterm and a final. If you can't pass her class with anything less than a B or an A then maybe you need to improve your study habits. Great professor.

Comment:
I've had Dr. Prayaga online for a few semesters now, and I can honestly say if you don't get at least a B in her course you're either incredibly lazy or a complete idiot. The assignments are SUPER simple: a module and group project every two weeks, a midterm, and a final. The hardest part is getting in touch with your group mates.

Loved this class and Dr. Prayaga rocked the content adding some newer material that helped bring extra detail that all courses should provide. Not an easy class without previous experience, but manageable. Notes on the Midterm test (move quickly or you'll be left with 20 question unanswered like I did). Big thumbs up and I'll be taking more w/her!

Poor quality professor. Professor did not even change the dates listed on the assignments from previous class. She was very unclear in her directions. Would not recommend her, you could learn more from just reading a book. Professor gave me a grade of an F when I earned an A- and would not put in the grade change until a week after semester ended.

I'm a very fair grader when it comes to these things. However, Prayaga is incompetent, ignores emails, doesn't give feedback on assignments until the semester is over. Sometimes there is no feedback at all. She has very poor grammar and refuses to answer questions in emails. She is a nice person but should not be a teacher. Beware folks! :/

She is good helping with any problems. A little had to understand some directions, but she will clarify, if you ask. This was an online class.

Lakshmi Prayaga was always extremely helpful, and had excellent turn around time to my emails. The class I took was on-line, and was by far one of the best and most fun courses I ever took.

Completely ineffective and incompetent teacher. Her assignments are unclear in their objectives. I have no idea how assignments are graded. Little to no email response. Responses that are received are confusing and full of errors. When I do receive an A on an assignment, I have no idea how. Online courses require good communication skills!

I was extemely impressed with Ms. Prayaga's attentiveness to me as a student. She always responded in a timely manner, and answered my questions (even so far as hands-on assistance). She was a great instructor!

Comment:
Her classes are extremely easy, to the point of "I took this and got an A. That's it." She knows what she wants out of projects but cannot effectively communicate it all the time. If you ask her a question, she may or may not know it and never explains why something is the way it is. Refuses to respond to all emails.

She's an all right teacher. The class is very easy, though. VERY easy. I'm averaging 100 right now. Don't take her if you want a challenge.

Dunno what everyone that gave her a low rating was thinking. Dr. Prayaga is a superb instructor! The hands-on, work at your own pace, no pressure approach to the class was an excellent approach. If you ever had a problem, she was there to help out and she knew what she was doing!

The class was inundated with technology setbacks, problems with logging in to remote servers, servers unable to use current software. ASP.Net was taught on FrontPage and not VisualBasic.net. Students with programming background did the best in class.

She doesn't seem to know what's going on. She relies heavily on the book. If the book doesn't have the answer, so does she. However, she is very nice. She's a very nice person ... just not a good teacher.
