Very good teacher, notes are clear and explanation is good. The only drawback in this class is her grading style. Final was insanely difficult and not related to any HW problems. Overall, she's a nice teacher. Be careful about her exams as they weigh so much for the final grade.

Karni is a great professor. Lectures are clear and concise, and she has a good flow for the material. She is also very helpful and wants to make sure her students succeed - the homeworks are also reasonable in difficulty, as are the exams.

I am currently Professor Smadar's 471 class and she has really made the class very enjoyable for me. Her flow of thought when teaching always comes together at the end of class, she's very interesting to talk to after class and she's very personable. I would take this class 10 more times if I could.

Comment:
She is nice. Willing to help students outside of class. HW is tedious and required. Her exams are very fair....no surprises. She follows text book word for word (Strang). In regards to 419, if you've taken linear algebra you will think it's easy, if you never have, you will find it difficult.

Comment:
She is a very organized teacher. A bit soft spoken, but conveys the ideas clearly. The homework given is time consuming and often tedious, but more than prepares you for the exam. She is very good at explaining concepts and is more than willing to take time to help students.

Comment:
Pretty clear lectures, though she followed the book almost word-for-word. Homework help is decent but she sometimes gave hasty, inaccurate explanations. Generally doesn't answer questions by email. Extended a homework deadline then moved it forward the next day. Exam review lectures were of little use, didn't spend time wisely

This prof really tries hard to answer question; follows textbook (strogatz) very closely, which helps if you have to miss lecture. Homework can be long, but they are interesting and make the exams seem easier. Will try to take her again!
