DO NOT TAKE--the absolute worst experience I've had in a class at Bentley. Lectures and confusing and her explanations of problems are unclear. Test questions are nothing like the homework problems, and asking her for help is useless. Blames the class for not knowing the material when she hasn't explained anything.

Her tests are the easiest as she gives what is either done in class or is a textbook example or is in the homework. But she cannot teach as she only copy-pastes the theorems on the board from the textbook and solves a maximum of 2 questions on it.

Prof Das, may not be the worst the worst teacher at Bentley but she is definitely in the running. She goes very quickly through the material and gets mad at people when they have questions. 5 quizzes and 3 major tests, in which she almost takes pleasure in failing students. two weekly online homework assignments that are not bad.

Would take again

Professor Das is a very good person. With that being said, it is hard to learn calculus for the first time if you are taking her. I took calc in high school, so I was fine, but I know people who struggled because she doesn't teach the material well. The class isn't difficult and if you turn in homeworks and participate in class she will like you.
