Comment:

Can't grade objectively; hard to tell how assignments are weighted b/c "quizzes" are always eliminated (due to absences & falling behind) & there's no updated syllabus. Frequently absent & reschedules missed lectures at strange times/runs over in the next one. Almost no useful feedback to students all semester. Can be nasty & always boring.

Comment:

She's not bad, but you won't take much away from a class with her. Throws in a punchy comment every now and then, but the lectures are dry and pretty unnecessary considering she posts the lecture slides online. Wants students to get a good grade in the class. Curves things and makes your highest grade weighed the most. Rocks are boring. So is she..

Comment:

Sahai is way better than the other reviewers gave her credit for. She does talk into the board too much, but she is certainly helpful if you go to her. She's very chemisty/analytical minded, which takes getting used to, but an easier grader than expected.

She wasn't clear at all, didn't explain things well, and was probably the most boring teacher I've had in 3 years

Comment:

She's not very willing to help students out, and she posts outdated powerpoint slides online, so we have to turn pages in ours to to catch up with her lecture. If you approach her with a concern about her helpfullness, she's not very responsive to that.
