she Made an easy class uneccisarily hard for no reason. super disorganized, and gave an execcive aMount of work. the quizzes were weighted like nothing, i legit would have gotten an A in the class because i did so good on quizzes and tests but i failed her stupid class because of Missing hoMework. quizzes were literally weighted like 5 points.

Comment:

I had Jagadesan my freshman year (Spr2017) for both MATH22/26. She was a fair professor. She is not as picky and tough/strict as people claimed. She just wants you to know the material. She did give quizzes, but she did let you know ahead of time if there was going to be a quiz. She is likeable, but depends on the teaching style preference.

Comment:

Do not take this professor. There was an insane amount of homework yet her homework, quizzes and unit reviews had barely any weight. Even if you got 100 on homeworks, quizzes and unit reviews and failed a test the weight of the tests made you fail the class. STAY AWAY!

Comment:

Professor never updates grades or answers emails at any given time. She is very disorganized when it comes to giving assignment and explaining when they are due. You wont have any idea what grade you will have until the end of the course which can be very frustrating. Overall, would not recommend having as a professor.

Comment:

Professor Jagadesan is one of the best professors at Berks, shes willing to push back due dates and gives extra credit on tests from time to time. Attendance is mandatory unless you email her and explain why you cannnot make it to lecture. Her class is easy if you attend lecture and do all the homework. She does give a lot of homework though

Professor J. is very caring towards her students and is willing to put in extra time so they can succeed. She will explain everything you don't understand and gives clear instructions. This class is not difficult as long as you put effort into doing well.

Comment:

Prof. Jagadesan was a good trig teacher. Her lectures were very clear and there weren't really any curveballs on the tests, nor were the tests graded harshly. She also gave extra credit often for equation or unit circle memorization quizzes. I would recommend taking her class.

Lectures are crucial! She actually teaches and goes over problems in class and everyone participates. Her tests are really hard though, and she is a tough grader. I almost failed her class, asked for help but she still wasn't as great explaining stuff and meeting with me outside of class. Take lots of notes and do your hw!!

Super sweet woman, but I found her class to be quite hard. Her tests are not very easy, she gives A LOT of homework and it gets kind of over whelming on top of trying to do your other classes and study for her quizzes.

Jagadesan is a miracle worker. I finally understand algebra. She goes very fast but shows every step. There is a lot of homework. Gives extra credit often. She let us make quiz corrections if we came to class. Is very helpful. Overall, best math professor at Berks. Don't skip class & don't be on your phone in class, she'll take off points.

Jagadesan is a nice lady but she's terrible at teaching! She goes way too fast that I can't even understand what she's doing most of the time! There are so many questions on the tests and she doesn't understand that class is only 55 minutes long! I don't think I've ever finished any of the exams! She's also always late for her first class.

One of my favorite professors. Professor Jagadesan makes math fun! She is always willing to help out students. As long as you complete the homework and show up, you will learn the material easily and do well on exams.

She's happy to extend MyMathLab and allow you to skip a couple of classes if you tell why. But she goes through questions on the lectures too quickly.
