Best teacher
Nice, helpful, smart and encouraging
hot hot hot
Definatly will make you work but very good teacher and you learn a lot. You wouldnt have to ask me twice about stickin her.
She will challenge you but if anyone thinks she is unfair then you should take a walk to burger king an apply for a lifetime job. Plus she is fun to watch... like everyone else says, she's hot :)
Fair... if she likes you. Yes, she does challenge her students but if you fall behind you'll become her worst enemy. Can be very unfair and irrational at times but if you're female or Indian you'll make a new best friend.
for lookin' at not learnin' from
Hot. We have had two classes. It sucks.
Very unfair and stubborn. Only considers herself. Never shows up to class. Hardly teachs when she does. Then expects you to know everything. Then she trys to make you feel small compared to her teaching ablities.
She's so hot looking, I'm actually paying attention in class. She needs to slow down and allow normal/human students time to absorb the material (i.e. inbetween words). Expectations are very high. I'm afraid to see what would happen if she drank redbull.
For some bizarre reason, she was allowed to teach an electronics course, a topic of which she knew absolutely nothing. She is both unclear and unhelpful, but blissfully unaware. What God forgot to give her in brains, he made up for with looks.
This women is mad hot, and a good teacher. I acually try in class to impress her. I'm looking for the right time to ask her out!
I have no big gripes
It is definately a hard class, but you do learn a lot. Much better than Hwang :P
Often misses class. Does not comunicate well. Never uses entire class period. Moves quickly and expects you to be familiar with material not yet covered. She often can not fix problems in your source code. Although she is hot.
Pretty bad experience, her class took a lot out of me. I was there for the looks. I hated those students that would not leave her office and were nothing but bunch of suck-ups.
Hot as hell, but that's it. She's one of those teachers that tries her best to show that she is WAY smarter than anybody else. She's just another Northeastern snob who thinks she's the best (yes she did/does go to Northeastern). She sucks.
One of the Best teachers on campus. Makes the class hard so you haveta work for your grade. Goes very fast with note taking but will slow down if ya ask her. Overall excellant experience. Got a good grade on my own whereas some students didn't do crap

She sucks!!! The worst professor I ever had. She does not teach at all. she moves very fast and expect you to know every thing. She basically wants to hurt the students.

mmmmm
She is hard, yet you learn so much. This is what I thought college would be like. Great person also, will go out of her way to help you if you are nice to her.
she never showed up for class!!!

Suresh is an excellent professor, and you will learn a lot in her class UNLESS you expect to have your held and everything to be handed to you in tiny, simple ways. Take Suresh if you want to work and LEARN otherwise just switch to CIS and waste your $.
Wicked Bad
She gives 5pts to the final grade if you show up for every class, if you come to class and listen its impossible to fail unless you're a dolt.
If you go to class everyday and do well on the final, you will pass no problem. Gives full credit for the labs just for turning them in. She's very energetic, and knows what shes doing. Sometimes a little vague, so follow in the book and you'll be all set
For lack of a better term, Suresh is a ball buster. Show up to class, go to her office hours and you will do fine, though she will not coddle you and expects you to make an effort. If you can’t deal with her then college may not be the place for you. PS G

Didn't Show up for final

Class was horrible, don't recommend taking LAN with her, doesn't actually teach the curriculum, teaches an Engineering class as a Computer Science class. Needs to prepare for class rather than her PHD!
Durga doesn’t put enough effort into class participation. She also doesn’t fully understand the material she is teaching. During tests, knowledge of the material isn’t nearly as important as regurgitating the half-correct material she teaches.
I was the best student in the entire class...but ONLY becuase i knew the material like the back of my hand. Durga coudlnt handle the fact that I didnt make an effort, but knew the material. This **** can not teach for****. Gave me a B+ for term..****.

Horrible horribleDon't even mistakenly take this classshe should be kicked out I'm surprised she is still there wonder how???
nice ass.
Durga is the best professor on WIT faculty. Unlike w/ other professors, you will actually learn in her class wather you want to or not. I recomend taking any and all classes with her. And if you think she's too hard that's because you're too bumb to be in CS field. Durga, you're the best!
First: notice how everyone with a bad reaction to "The Durga" has incomplete, run-on, or fragmented sentences. Come on people. At least a fifth grade reading level. Second: very difficult. Only take her if you're willing to learn on your own.
You either love her or hate her. Her teaching style is unique, meaning that you will learn whether you want to or not (after all, you are paying +$20K to go here in most cases). I recieved an A or A- in the three classes I've taken with her. Fast paced, but helpful if you're stuck. Don't bother finding a way to skip a class, because if you miss one class, you can pretty much count on using the rest of the semester making it up.
Very poor communication skills, didn't know her subject matter, unprepaired for class. Not current with todays technologies.
she talks extremely fast, isn't very understanding, and tests are about as hard as possible. Half the kids in my class failed and she doesn't scale tests, or give extra credit.
Horrible Professor!!! How in the world can anyone say anything good about her? She plays favorites with the students that know it all. Makes u feel dumb if u don't understand the work. She doesn't seem to care if you are doing bad in the class. She teaches too damn fast. Don't go to her for extra help. Her class was a waste of time. I would have w

DON't EVEN THINK ABOUT TAKING THIS PROFESSOR!!!WORST DECISION EVER...AND WORST PROFESSOR IN WENTWORTH..GOES WAY TOO FAST, and she only concentrate on the kids who knows stuff already. SHE CANNOT TEACH..DON"T TAKE HER!
Whatever class you are taking durga for be prepaired. She goes fast and dosn't do bull. Dispite what people say she is very clear, if she says it or puts it on the board than you are expected to know it. If you don't show her that your tried prior to asking her for help she wont help you. Freshman hate her, seniors love her. no spoonfeeding here.

in this class "intro to operating systems" it's a complete vocabulary lesson, there is no system being taught. She makes up her own acronyms that are not in the notes or in the book and expects you to know them. tests are horrible. Half to 3/4 of this current SENIOR class is failing, and this class is only offered ONCE every year. DO NOT TAKE!
I HATE HER
Shes awful. She has no sympathy whatsoever for her students. She is perfectly fine with failing over 50% of the class with no regrets. Her lectures are unclear, her tests are all memorization and vocabulary. Grades on attendance too very harshly, you miss just one class and your grade is screwed.
worst teacher ever, she will take every chance to screw you, avoid her at all costs

I liked her attendance system because it forced me to work. You should pay attention, you should bring your work (how f* hard is that to the person right below my post) I was able to impress her and she impressed me.
Very energetic and engaging, but if you need help you're screwed. Repeated emails and requests for help were ignored. I am actually complaining to Dept. Head about her refusal to help. You'd think after paying 20k + to attend school the teacher would at least answer an email.
Suresh is awesome. I learned more in 3 months of her class then any other class at wentworth. shes fast very fast but if you can follow her it's amazing. want to survive her class? spell her name right, be respectful in class, don't give rediculously wrong answers to her questions, do the work, and show up. it's that easy. You will workhard for a B
Had her for COMP362, COMP543, and taking her for COMP566. She's a great professor, tuff but great. All you need to do is stay on her good side. She joked with my whole class and we actually learned a lot. Don't be afraid, just be prepared.
Good teacher, positive and friendly. I struggled in her class but she was more then willing to help me out. I never liked computer science but she made me appreciate it. ENGINEER 4 LIFE
she will give you an absent if you forget your textbook. 10 min late - absent. no homework - absent. no paying atention - absent. 5 absents and you will retake this class.. have fun (PS: I didn't fail)
Great professor; tough class. I learned more in her class than any other class at the school. Ran a few extra help sessions that were very helpful. This class is not for the feint of heart, she teaches at a breakneck pace. I am looking forward to taking this professor again.
Durga rules. Hates everyone that is not in Comp Sci, so if you hate her, thats probably why. Tough class, but I learned more with here than any other teacher that teaches slower. Very knowledgeable, funny, and doesn't get mad when you poke fun at her, especially since that gives her a reason to make fun of you right back.
Being passionate about the subject, teaching and students is the absolute perfect combination. Not an easy class, but worth it. Having a fantastic group of peers was helpful as well. Pure class.
She is a great teacher. Understands the subject matter so well it just spills into your brain. Best teacher so far. Don't take her lightly cause she will push you at times but will make you smile doing it. Highly Recommended.
great person made the class fun
Extremely knowledgeable professor. She may come off strong, like any passionate teacher would, but she knows what she's talking about, and is willing to help you in almost any case. Most definitely one of my favorite professors I've ever had. Following the class, don't goof off, and you'll love her.
Great Professor! You will learn a lot in her class and I always enjoyed going to her class. she made it fun.
Cool professor, challenging but engaging. Put in your best effort and study for her tests (especially that first one) and you should have a good time.
Durga Suresh is a fantastic professor, her tests are very hard but passable if you take the time to study. Participation is practically mandatory and she will pick out students who don't participate to answer questions sometimes. I finished that class knowing the material like the back of my hand and I would gladly take her again. Not for slackers
She is amazing, any negative feedback on this site is due to people who either goofed off or were obviously uninterested in the subject. Take notes at your own risk, sometimes she will yell at you and call you a scribe but other times the notes will be extremely critical for the test. Its a wild ride but a lot of fun.
An awesome professor, you'll learn a lot if you pay attention and do all the work.
Helps you in and out of the classroom, no homework
Best class ever. Inspirational.
Mercilessly tough grader but an incredible teacher. Keeps class fun and interesting and has great chemistry with students. Take Durga's class if you are serious about your education at Wentworth.
Do not take notes when she is speaking or else she will verbally, emotionally and mentally shame you. Agree with her on all issues and even comment that she looks beautiful with glasses on, fall to your knees and worship her and MAYBE you might have a chance of getting a B in her class. The human brain is flawed when it comes to her exams.
If you TRULY care about learning and becoming better in coding, take her.
Durga is awesome. Had her for multiple classes and all worth it. Very fortunate to have her for Software Engineering and learn a ton of useful stuff. Definitely recommend.
She gave an unofficial ungraded assignment over a weekend. I spent a few hours and was having trouble with it so I just waited until class Monday morning to have it explained. Except at the start of class she kicked out everyone who hadn't finished it. So I got no lecture that day and an absence marked, which in her class if you get 4 you fail.
The best professor. Had Durga for both Software Engineering and Senior Project. Delivers great lectures and learned a lot of things
Very informative, helpful, and engaging Nice to have her as my senior project professor.
Very easy professor, she teaches the class thoroughly and you get a good grade at the same time. No exams at all! If you want an easy pass while learning new stuffs, she's your best bet.
Ok so if you look at the grade I got, you might ask what I did to screw up that badly. Here is my issue with professor Suresh. She was friendly, obviously sarcastic, but she WAS friendly. As a professor and an educator, I personally felt as if she didn't take my doubts seriously. A question to her would be redirected as a snarky diss towards me.
Prof Durga is nice and friendly although I question her as a Professor. Durga does not seem to respond to emails unless bugged repeatedly and refuses to understand students' off-campus life.
Professor Durga Suresh emphasizes participation and provides excellent lecture materials for note-taking. Tests are few but extremely challenging, making study groups essential.
One of the worst-tought, graded professor ever had, she will grade you for absolutely everything and don't care about anything else besides you being on time
