worst prof ever. heavy Indian accent. monotoned. boring. expects too much out of student
Gotta agree with the the last person, she is the worst prof ever. I can barely understand her because of her accent, and she has sucky handwriting too. Feel like I learned the course all by myself. Textbook helps in that field.
bad prof..heavy accent with a high pitch ending. Notes are not that well organized. the summary was not bad though.
i cannot agree more with the comments already posted; pace of the lecture is very VERY slow. Asks alot of useless questions in class, terrible analogies and examples. my advice is to just learn from the textbook.
She wans't toooo tooo bad, I found her tests pretty easy, but I never went to class because it was hard to understand her.
since when did consumer surplus sound like conjumer syphilis. if you have this prof, you might as well stay home and read your text book, you won't understand her and you just can't take her seriously. definitely the worst prof i've had 1st year
hardworking, friendly, genuine interest in helping students learn
genuine prof who wants to see students succeed. if you put in the work you will be rewarded
Take this if you want to lose 36 hours of your life you'll never get back
One of the worst professors. Sitting through class is the same as listening to a dial tone. She makes no sense and her notes are unorganized and her writing is terrible. You can barely understand her and she takes her class so seriously it makes it like a joke to even try and sit through. All in all the worst prof Ive had at Mac
She's ok. Hard to understand but she will help you if you ask for it. I stopped going to class and just read the textbook. She also likes to make a lot of assumptions when she is teaching and she expects you to make the right assumptions when working on the test and assignment questions. I hated that.
If you go to class and pay attention, the tests are reasonable and the content is interesting! The prof is really friendly (knows the names of students who participate) and offers extra help if you need it. Her accent really isn't that bad, the ratings on here seem a little harsh - I had no problem understanding her.
TERRIBLE PROFESSOR, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!! I don't think she knew what she was teaching and takes the class to seriously. Review sessions for midterms and exams were a joke and tortures you with notes during class which you will never understand. Midterm and Exam were brutal. Textbook offers some help but shes terrible never take a class with her.
Slow lecturer, teaches to the book. Accent isn't bad, but her written work (assignment and review questions) is not always comprehensible. Tests were hard work and required a lot of study, which'd be OK if they were on development econ instead of 100 versions of the Solow equation. Mac has terrible ECON 3rd yr topics classes and this is the worst.
great teacher. yall didnt study hard enough. i got a perfect in her course. sat in the front row. do your work, listen to her teach, and most of all ask questions.
Amazing professor who wants you to do well. If you get a bad mark in her class its either because you didn't go to class or didn't put in the time. She is very accessible with her office hours and will definitely help you if you go to them. Make sure you attend class because she does lots of practice questions that will probably be on the midterms.
never showed up to class once and got an extremely high grade. super simple concepts and super easy tests. just read the slides and do the practice and thats all! super easy to succeed
her lectured aren't bad, she cares about her students, but she doesn't post in class materials. If you go to class, her practice questions are very relevant and you'll be fine, but if you skip, it'll be a lot harder. ALSO don't forget to check the last page of the tests for any questions...
clearly she can't do an online class properly. really behind on lecture content, no idea what 35% of our grade is yet and what's worst is that its past the course drop date (the midterm was insane). Who knows if i'll pass.
Nothing you learn from the lecture slides or textbook will be tested. You only use the contents from the lecture as context to answer extremely difficult questions that require you to think critically. The worst part is that she doesn't even practice these type of questions in class.
Doesn't post practice questions up until a few days before midterms/finals. Doesn't post solutions. Lecture slides are extremely vague and doesn't provide detailed explanations. If you miss a lecture, she expects you to get lecture notes from other students. She makes things so unnecessarily difficult for students. PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Top 5 worst profs of all time
I never made a ratemyprofessor review before, but this one is so unbelievably bad that I just had to. She's nice, but the way she delivers her course is horrible. She honestly shouldn't be teaching at a university level. I pray the lord keeps these type of profs away from me.
I'd give a zero if I could
Difficult to understand her accent. If you miss a lecture she expects you to get the lecture notes from other students.
My experience with this professor was painful. She is atrociously lazy. She doesn't elaborate on concepts properly, she just brushes over them with a short sentence and expects you to write a whole paragraph explaining the concept for exams. She sounds like she doesn't know what she's talking about. She shouldn't be teaching at all.
She is the worst at conducting online classes and explains notes as if she doesn't know what she's teaching and sounds like she's making things up on the spot. Horrible course delivery where she expects you to get notes from other students if you miss a lecture because she doesn't post it on a2l. Very infuriating. Her online classes are the WORST
Should be a 0/5. She cannot deliver a lecture properly and is very difficult to work with
TERRIBLE PROFESSOR, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!! I don't think she knew what she was teaching. Review sessions for midterms and exams were a joke and tortures you with notes during class which you will never understand. Midterm and Exam were brutal. Textbook isn't mandatory but trust me you'll need it because you definitely wont learn anything from her.
This prof contributed to most of my stress this semester, she is an extremely unreliable professor and you will have to learn the material yourself. this class is a waste of time don't take it
I HATE her so much. She makes me want to permanently conclude my existence.
There was nothing positive about her. She consistently demonstrated a lack of understanding of the material and an inability to explain key concepts. Lectures were confusing. Tests did not align with what was taught. This was easily the worst academic experience I've had.
This class was a nightmare. Nothing was explained properly, lectures were all over the place, and she couldn't answer basic questions. Easily the worst professor I've had so far.
Honestly the worst prof I've ever had. Every class felt like a guessing game because nothing was explained clearly. She constantly seemed lost in her own material. I tried so hard to follow along but gave up halfway through.
I don't say this lightly, but this prof made learning impossible. The lectures were confusing, the slides were useless, and she never answered questions properly. I walked out of every class more lost than before.
Nothing about this class made sense. She talked in circles, gave no real examples, and half the time didn't seem to know the topic herself. I've never been this frustrated with a course in my life.
How many opps you really got? I mean, it's too many options I'm finna pass on this body, I'm John Stockton. Beat your ahh and hide the Bible if God watchin.' Sometimes you gotta pop out and show Krishna. Certified boogeyman, I'm the one that up the score with 'em. Walk her down, whole time, I know she got some ho in her.

I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows. From the screen to the ring, to the pеn, to the king. Where's my crown? That's my bling, always drama when I ring. See, I believe that if I see it in my heart. Smash through the ceiling 'cause I'm reaching for the stars. Woah-oh-oh This is how the story goes Woah-oh-oh I guess this is how the story goes

He stood unshaken, a voice in the storm A man of conviction, a heart reborn He spoke the truth when the cost was high He lived for Jesus, unafraid to die We are Charlie Kirk, we carry the flame We'll fight for the Gospel, we'll honor his name We are Charlie Kirk, his courage our own Together unbroken, we'll make Heaven known
You're insane, you're in pain, I can tell by what you're saying, but My bad, I forgot you were fragile (I'm sorry) Come and join my circus, I'm recruiting
I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers! I knew it was 1216. You think this is bad? This chicanery? She orchestrated it! She defecated through a sunroof! She'll never change! Ever since she was 9, couldn't keep her hands out of the cash drawer! But not our precious Krishna! Stealing them blind! What a sick joke!
This class was a nightmare. Nothing was explained properly, lectures were all over the place, and she couldn't answer basic questions. Definitely the worst professor I've had so far.
Clipse Let God Sort Em Out is best hip hop album of the year, but Hurry Up Tomorrow is best album across all genres in 2025
She is sooo attractive that it's hard to pay attention so I failed :(
Literally the Devil. After taking her class, I lost my faith, I lost my religion, time hasn't been kind to me and I stopped praying, because I realized there's no God or heaven, there's only Krishnakali Sen Gupta.
ChatGpt: Attending this professor's class felt like being drafted into an academic Hunger Games I did not sign up for. Every lecture was a new form of psychological cardio. I learned less about economics and more about existential dread. Wouldn't recommend unless you want a spiritually respawning.
One time she said ‘this won't be on the test,' and then it WAS on the test. She destroyed my GPA because of these plot twists.
I used to be happy, but now I have severe PTSD. I have nightmares of Sen Gupta, so I have trouble sleeping. This resulted in a deep, crippling depression. I feel survivors guilt as I got a D while my fellow brothers and sisters either dropped out or failed. I'm unable to adjust within normal life, I see her everywhere I go, its as if I'm haunted.
I've fallen into a crippling drug addiction because I'm unable to process the trauma I experienced from this prof. I can't get her voice out of my head. I sometimes think of ending it all, but I'm afraid if I go to hell and realize that hell is just her lecture stretched out for eternity instead of burning lakes or torture.
Rating wayyyyyy too high, should be more like -5 tbh
No matter how much effort you put in this course you will never understand anyhting.
inshallah her bones and organs will be turned into a fine, fibrous ash for the unnecessary difficulties he has procured upon me
If you're not religious, pick a religion and pray.
After taking this prof, I feel like my heart has been set on fire. I lost my life, I lost my soul. Now I have nothing real left. It hurts when I think about the days I would tell myself that it's okay to scream. How do I know if I'll see tomorrow? Especially when Krishnakali haunts my life... I don't suppose tomorrow is coming.

She was a prof of mine. We called her the Baba Gupta. She was the one you sent to KlLL the boogeyman. She's a man of focus, commitment and sheer will. I saw her KlLL 3 men in a bar with a pencil. Krishna wanted to retire, so I gave her an impossible task no one could've pulled off. The students she buried that day, lay the foundation of McMaster U.
Anyone who rates higher than a 1 either has a humiliation/failure kink or is a paid reviewer.
Unclear explanations, disorganization, lack of knowledge, boring lectures, harsh grading, unclear expectations, unhelpful emails, extremely traumatizing
Trash Trash Trash
Her method of teaching is very stinky, yucky and smelly. Boooo
Very scary and spooky.
Very depressing
Worst prof of all time
She's extremely dangerous. Avoid at all costs. If her class is mandatory, please proceed with caution.
Awful, terrible, tough grader, very difficult
Extremely difficult for no reason. Very lazy
Ruined my life.
Impossible to pass. Turned me from a lover to a hater :(
Everything you learn from her substandard lecture slides & notes are completely irrelevant because you end up facing completely ridiculous, never-seen-before questions that she never practiced in class or even helped explain the concepts for. Her delivery of the course is designed for you to perform poorly, there's no winning against the Sen Gupta.
The Krishnakali Sen Gupta's unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability makes her a feared professor in any realm of educational endeavor. You're better off learning something from Andrew Tate's corny Hustler's University than her class.
When I close my eyes, I see Krishnakali Sen Gupta's face, and the pain hits me like a 1,000 trains. I can't sleep. I don't think I can carry on anymore. The idea of concluding my life grows more appealing every day and my final note will just be a repetition of "KRISHNAKALI SEN GUPTA, KRISHNAKALI SEN GUPTA, KRISHNAKALI SEN GUPTA, KRISHNAKALI SEN.."
You know, you walk out the door. You see someone that you know, and they ask you how you are, and you just have to say that you're fine, when you're not really fine, but you just can't get into it because they would never understand the magnitude of the horrors imposed upon you by The Krishnakali Sen Gupta.
You can physically feel your lifespan diminish when you have to endure The KrishnaKali Sen Gupta.
She's a nice person but her delivery of the course is designed to make you fail. And the exams are by far the hardest exams I've ever had and even studying for this course for 6 hours a day will not help you.
Literally satan
Feels like I'm fighting John Wick
We don't "live" life. We're only dying. This is The Krishnakali Sen Gupta's world. Life is just a house of death, where even angels (innocent students) perish by the arms of demons (The Krishnakali Sen Gupta).
Ain't no party like a Krishnakali party
Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... And my arm... even my fingers... The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there.
Krishnakali Sen Gupta has been here all night, she's been here all day, and boy, she got me walking side to side
She's too powerful, you can't beat her
Most evil prof of all time
Should get fired
Impossible to succeed. Worst prof of all time
Literally the devil
Matches every synonym for “very bad”
I think he got rejected from art school and decided to just abuse poor students instead of going after a different community
I am very disappointed in you K.S Gupgup
I know she doesn't know a single thing about the subject but I just can't prove it because I don't know anything either
The emotional scars will never heal. Avoid at all costs
I've been unable to stop crying ever since I discovered her
Ong, Krishnakali Sen Gupta is my biggest opp fr fr
Literally Hitler
Literally Genghis Khan
Literally Osama Bin-Laden
If ISIS and Al-Qaeda had a baby, it would be Krishnakali Sen Gupta
Krishnakali Sen Gupta got a blank space baby and she'll write your name.
My daughter committed suicide because she had her as a prof. My poor baby is gone. And it's all because of the Krishnakali Sen Gupta
McMaster needs to fire her, or she needs to fire herself
I say kick away, and stop this meathead from further infecting the world with his unique brand of idiocracy
