Her weekly quizzes were a pain, but they did end up helping when you tried to prepare for a test. In class she can appear somewhat timid, but if you go see her in her office the lady will friggin talk your ear off. All in all, a brilliant nice lady who will meet you half way.

She called the students in my class stupid and unable to learn. Also said we were useless if you dont know the math. Goes over problems in class but does NOT explain the process well. Refuses questions in class. Does not allow the class to participate in answering for problems. Worst Prof Ive ever had. NEVER recommend her. Period.

I do not know what people do not like her. I loved her. She was a phenomenal teacher. She does have a different teaching style that takes a second to understand, but once you do, she is an amazing professor. If you have a chance to take her class, it is totally worth it. She was extremely helpful in office hours and an overall great teacher.

She is a fantastic teacher. She goes over all of the material and gives examples and if you need help she has office hours almost every day of the week. The quizzes are predictable and there is often extra credit point added and most are online.

Its true that she is nice and a good person. The problem she has is that she does not explain the material well, lacks the ability to answer students questions efficiently, and tends to be boring when teaching the material. She is a good person, not a great professor for Calculus.

She is definitely a professor who genuinely wants you to learn Calculus II, knowing it is normally deemed the most difficult of the three Temple offers. She is not a super warm person, but if you approach her in office hours with good questions, she warms up to you a bit more one on one. She is strict though, so don't expect special treatment

The professor clearly is very knowledgeable about Calc and you will get a solid grasp of the subject but she was very demeaning in class and it made a lot of us scared to ask questions. We would ask questions and her response always made us feel like we were stupid, which made her unapproachable for most of the semester.

Professor Chaudhry does not care at all about students learning. Constantly went on rants blaming our class for being behind when she is the only person who has said a word all class. Doesn't take questions in class or grade homework on time, so you dont know if you're doing something wrong until you fail the quiz. Would not recommend if avoidable.

Professor Chaudhry was overall pretty solid in teaching the material, given how difficult calc 2 is. Her quizzes and exams are very easy as long as you stay on top of things. Was also caring and wanted her students to do good. The only downside is that she can come off as intimidating sometimes and is not the best in answering questions

One of the best professors at Temple! She puts so much effort every class and she is very caring. Almost every lecture she would give us packages with theory and examples and if there were any difficult concepts that couldn't be explained enough in class, she would hold meetings outside class and she would make sure that her students understood

Really nice lady. I took calc over the summer so the homework was not collected. She gives good instruction but you should look at the material before class because her accent can be heavy and the material goes quickly. Also the fastest grader ever. graded our exams the next day, same with most quizes.

She cares alot on how you solve the answer, In the beggining of the semester working on limits, she took off lots of points because (example) I was substituting 0.1 and -0.1 as the limit approached 0 from one direction but apprarently that wasn't the proper way to solve it even if the answer was right. She isn't horrible, just very mid

Homework always says "Couple of problems will be selected to be graded for completeness, effort, and correctness. The rest will be graded only for completeness and effort" But that's not true, it's actually graded by correctness only. Her explanations also never make sense, rating should be 2-3 not a 4.3, idk what the raters giving 5* are thinking

She is very elaborate when explaining concepts and is very accessible outside of class. I went outside of class to clarify certain concepts and she would explain them clearly. Despite her grading being very detailed, she wants you to understand why you have to solve a problem a certain way. Calc is difficult, but you get what you put in.

This was my 2nd time taking Calc. First professor left me confused, but she was excellent. She explained concepts clearly, with well-organized guided notes, definitions, and problem-solving steps and worked through all problems on the board. She grades HW for accuracy but it wasn't a big issue. Also I had no issue with understanding her accent.

She's a nice lady. Although sometimes it feels like she has an attitude if you don't understand something. A lot of homework assignments (which she grades thoroughly), quizzes every week, and moves on very quickly when teaching. Some days we'll have covered 3 sections and I haven't grasped the first one. Positives is she is lenient on due dates.

She's nice and will help if you go to office hours or ask questions, but in lectures she explains things in a very overcomplicated way which makes it difficult to understand the concepts even when they're not very hard.
