I love her! She is a very caring professor. Make sure to do your hw ahead of time, so that you can have time to study for exams. Her teaching is very CLEAR: she show you steps of how to solve the problems. I don't know if she still teaches this Fall, b/c I would LOVE to have her again!S

Comment:

Started the class with a D, ended with an A. She is very passionate about math and loves to teach it! Math is hard to grasp, but she offers help . She can't do all the work for you, but she does push and encourage you towards pushing yourself. Her teaches kind of fast, the syllabus is key to everything, and she brings you donuts.

she will answer any questions you have until you get it. Her syllabus is precise and you know what to expect. Gives extra credit and drops 1 test and 2 quizzes. Even allows formula cards shes made for you on the tests. Quizzes are open book. Study, do the homework, go to class and unless you just sit there you will pass.

Comment:

She's my best professor this semester, but if you haven't taken some sort of course similar to Algebra 2 before this class, then READ AHEAD in the textbook or it'll seem like she is going too fast in her lecture. Lectures are long, but very helpful. Has an accent, but easy to understand. Very nice, and will help with anything you don't understand.

Comment:

Took 2 of her classes. Tests and quizzes multiple choice. Lectures are long and says she's happy to explain for us, but then says she won't spend time going over problems. Pre-writes all notes and problems and you'll spend most of your time copying notes rather than learning. Easy A but you won't learn / have a good math foundation.

Comment:

She goes incredibly quick. Do not take unless you can make your own logical connections. She does not do the "Baby" steps. "You should've learned that in your 100 class," is what I hear when I ask for a reminder.

Learned almost nothing. Easy to figure out tests until the final that has nothing to do with the review. Eight chapters and 7 of the 20 questions on the final are from the last chapter. Oh, and it's 33% of your grade. Doing good all semester? Gotcha!

Comment:

You will not understand her accent. She doesn't understand how to teach math. does a problem all over the board split up and unorganized talks really fast. She like to show off that she can do the maths faster than her students, she will leave you in the dust.

Comment:

So: people look at the homework volume and at the % of the grade it's worth (lots, & 6%), then don't do it. She's a lenient teacher- tests are multiple choice, she offers extra credit, formula sheets, doesn't care what calculator you use. But the reviews are very DIY, so do homework or you'll get bad test scores. C on the final, but A due to HW.

Comment:

I'm usually good at math but wasted a semester with her. Didn't learn anything, forgot all i knew, survived on what i knew and could figure out on the internet. Has an attitude. Makes easy algebra so complicated that it seems like a foreign language. Practice tests are nothing like the actual tests. Every one i met and had her complained about her

Comment:

Very nice professor, but I don't need nice I need a professor who makes things easy and clear to learn. I've struggled with math my whole life and was hopeful about this professor based on reviews on here, but I found her hard to understand (not because of her accent). I feel like she tries to make things simple but instead she confuses everyone

Comment:

I took this professor for both precal and calc 1. I would highly recommend her. She assigns a lot of homework, but her exams are based off of all the practice problems in class. She allows you to use a calculator on exams and provides you with formula cards. She gives out extra credit problems and is always helpful if you go to office hrs.

Comment:

Professor Gupta was nice and has a calm teaching method. She applied problems to real world scenarios. She gave tests that relate to what we had learned and gave the opportunity to earn extra credit. She rewarded the class with the best homemade cookies I have ever had. The only drawback was her accent, which took some time to get used to.

Overall, a good teacher. Though there were many time I had trouble understanding her because of her accent. Homework every day, we used the book a lot. Questions on the handouts were usually found on the quizzes & tests. Don't skip on attendance! She took roll throughout the whole semester and was actively dropping students.

Can be challenging. She counts 3 of 4 tests, and 7 of 10 quizzes. The final was worth 31.8% of your grade. If you put the time in and learn what to look for then you'll do fine.

Comment:

She is impossible to understand and refuses to answer questions. She says things in a harsh tone like, "It's so easy. If you don't understand see me in my office hour." She offers a lot of extra credit so you can pass the class if you don't understand anything, but don't take her if you want to go on to calc 2.
