Comment:

She is the most picky and tough grader i ever had, and talks down to the students a lot. I know she means well at times but she comes across arrogant and rude. Don't recommend. I got an A+ and I still think she was bad.

Literally THE WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD, Extremely Rude, useless. I had 2 classes from her a day and it was horrible, not only is she hard to understand, she's rude, she will NEVER meet you halfway if sick etc. Please please never take her class, 17 years of Georgian and she's still the same. DONT EVER TAKE

Comment:

Easily the the worst prof I've had. Very long and boring lectures which make it hard to follow along. She doesn't seem to have a very good understanding of SQL either as she will spend large chunks of time error checking her own script. No material provided on blackboard whatsoever so you must attend class. She is also a very tough grader. AVOID!

Comment:

She talks way too much in class. If you stop listening for a minute you'll get lost. I wish I never took her class. If you have a choice find another professor for your course and try to avoid her as much as possible. I didn't have a choice but to take her class because she was the only one teaching this course.

She talks a lot including unnecessary things. Also she gives additional codes 15 minutes before the class ends which is a lot for us to take in. Sometimes she overlaps her time in class. She's also very strict in grading our assignments and tests.

Comment:

Anju does not understand the material she is teaching, nor how to teach it. She regularly belittles students for not knowing material she hasn't covered, adds and drops assignment criteria on a whim, and spends most classes either repeating herself ad nauseum or struggling to write her own code. Surprised she's still teaching. Avoid at all costs.

Worst prof I've ever had. Will spend 70% of the class babbling the same thing over and over. Only good thing is that she records the class so you can listen/watch later if you choose. Assigned a group project because she "didn't have time to grade everything" I've pushed back my co-op because she was the only prof teaching a course.

Comment:

Seriously making me consider switching schools. Repeats the same unrelated point 50 times over. It's glaringly obvious none of the curriculum is hers, she is poorly regurgitating someone else's lesson No clear rubrics defined before assignment. Ironically she demands no students help each other. Has no idea how to teach, would rate 0 if i could.

Comment:

Probably the single worst "professor" I've ever had. She talks insanely fast, doesn't listen to student feedback or answer student questions. Is constantly rude to students and refuses to accept any methodology that isn't hers (AKA the Java docs). She teaches as if she's never programmed before and spends 2/3s of the class troubleshooting her code.

Comment:

Anju is generally unprepared. Heard her getting a walkthrough from another prof on how to teach the material she was about to teach herself... most of class is spent fixing her own code, doesn't seem to know what she's doing. She picks away at assignments, docking meaningless marks just because it's not exactly how she did things (i.e. 9.725/10)

Comment:

If you were thinking of skipping her class, don't. She hands out multiple quizzes per class when she's not droning over her own notes that she probably didn't write herself. Listening to her talk is painful and sometimes uninteligible, if you can find another professor teaching this course I would reccomend taking their class instead.

Comment:

She's not bad in teaching the concepts. But she's not the best in adapting to the needs of the students. You need to focus completely on her, need to revise the lessons and of course, be respectful but also enjoy programming. One thing though, she marks STRICTLY. I got a 90% overall, topper got a 98%. In the end, it depends on you too. Good Luck:)

Worst teacher in the program. Some examples: - Some students wrote the midterms (plural) received 10% or less. - Called student an "idiot" and told to drop the program - Was the explicit cause of multiple students leaving the program - admins were on vacation, so no complaints were logged (summer semester) - hurting the program's reputation

it's not hard to understand the lecture, just hard to understand her thinking had to spend much time to only understand her sentences, not the course.

Comment:

Anju does not seem to like any new style of coding, anything she is unfamiliar will, she will deduct marks for. In addition, she does not deal with confrontation or questions very well. She'll deduct marks for things that weren't mentioned in the criteria.
