Comment:

10pt quizzes almost every Friday, but you get to drop 2 at the end. Exams vary in format, but are pretty fair. He posts notes online and goes through them pretty quickly sometimes. Not to bad to understand, despite the accent. Overall not a bad class.

Lazy and dumb people will not like him. He expects a lot from students but is willing to help outside of class.

Basu is not a good teacher. He does not cover the material on his exams in class, and has not shown concern over academic integrity when its reported. I do not suggest him for anyone.

Comment:

I think the fact that they curve the class by 15 points every year says something about the professors that teach it. Any douchbag can read off powerpoint, but the tests are nuthing like what they teach in lecture. Learn how to teach
