She is very concise. Her expectations are clear. She is super nice and makes sure that everybody is following what she is teaching.

Great teacher. Very helpful and makes the class and tests easy. Knows her subject.

Really cares about students.

Great teacher. Take her if you get the chance

Covers material thouroughly and straight out of the book. Exams are easy - questions come from the book as well. Class projects use excel and take minimal time. Nice lady, really cares about her students.

Awesome Teacher!

very good econ class, great teacher, she really helps u out. if u know your calculus u should get an A. but if u dont u might have to settle for a B.

realy a nice teacher...perfect understanding of her subject.will do anythin to help her students..subject was difficult but her understanding will help you out.great teacher..take her

Dr. Dasgupta is an incredibly nice and caring professor. She wants her students to suceed and does everything she can to enable us to do well. The class is pretty easy, if you study the packets she hands out you are guarenteed to ace the exams.

Shes nice but her voice is so annoying it makes me want to stab myself. If I hear "is it clear" one more time I'll go nuts.

Too many haters on this site. Dasgupta is wonderful! Repetitive- but wonderful. She likes to make sure everything is clear for her students, and is reasonable with dropping grades/ curving. I had her for econ 101 and stat 351( a boring class no matter who teaches it) and highly recommend her.

This class really isn't that bad if you have a little tolerance. Yes she repeatedly askes if things are clear, but would you rather things be unclear and the professor just move on? Exams come straight from the packets she hands out, never touched the book.

The best teacher I have ever had my entire school life. She is very helpful and make sure every student understands the topic. Best of all, she has sense of humor. If I will be a teacher, I would try hard to be like her. Got C on her class.

Extremely easy class when I took it (Fall 2003) but I hear it has gotten harder. We had 6 MC/T&F exams that were directly from the study guide, which she gave us the answers to, and she dropped the lowest 2, how much more could she do to hand us an A! Dasgupta is one of the nicest teachers at UMBC, she makes sure students understand, appropachable.

The tests are all from the packets. THE TESTS ARE ALL FROM THE PACKETS! What more could you want??!! The packets have answers on the back. She explains everything obsessively (just prepare yourself to say "yes" repeatedly to her "Is it clear"). Sit back and relax...understand and do the packets, and get an A. She drops the two lowest exams as well.

SHE IS A WONDERFUL TEACHER... yeah she has broken english but you can still understand her. Test are easy and studying old exams helps ALOT! Take her if you want an A or B.

the nicest teacher ever. U will easily get an A if u even try a little bit. "is it clear". haha...u just have to get used to that :) don't buy the book for this class..u won't use it..just study the packets and attend class.

i don't know wat the other person is talkin about....she is the BEST teacher ever. says "is it clear" alot and wears the same 3 outfits over and over, and has an indian accent, but still underdstandable, but does that really matter...wat matters is that she makes sure u understand everything and is very reasonable and her exams are easy. Easy A.

this class was rediculously easy. all exams are questions from packets she hands out. if you're class is really big she won't do an essay q either. my only problem is that the class was hard to follow because of her broken english but if you want a good grade this class is it. don't buy book.

shes okay, becareful tho always show up for class and always bring your book otherwise shell call u by name and ask you y u dont have ti or y u werent there. will also constantly as "is that okay?" and just nod and agree else shes a decent teacher, not hard and grades are clear

Be aware, she has changed the structure of the exams as of fall 2005, she doesn't use the packets nearly as much as before, she has free response so actually have to learn compared to just being able to memorize the answers from the packets, no longer a guaranteed A as in other semesters

She's one of the best teachers, teaching wise. I took this class and her econ class and if you go to class you don't even have to buy the book b/c she teaches so well. She never gave me crap for not going to class, she'll just ask you why you didn't come if your one of those people who always come. No homework easy tests, she want you to succeed.

She is an incredible teacher, she truly makes sure that everyone understands the material and teaches in such a way that you will absolutely understand it. Best teacher i've had yet.

Great teacher! Teaching method is absolutely wonderful. Reviews previous days lessons at beginning of class and explains everything thoroughly. Accent is easy to understand after a few minutes. Clarifies exactly what will be on test and makes tests easier than they could be. The discussoin class is especially helpfull/ a good review for tests.

Had her for stat351, one of easiest teachers ever. I didnt buy the book but took really good notes and I got an A. She gave extra credit on our last quiz, test and even the final, to help those out that werent doing that well. I highly recommend taking her class you will not regret it.

very easy class, just go over the handouts and memorize the questions. sometimes she puts things not on the handout but something she taught in class so you should sometimes go to class.

Tries to help the class whenever possible with grading adjustments such as extra credit and dropping lower grades. She has an accent, but it isn't difficult to understand her.

She was very detailed in her lectures. She covered just about everything in the textbook very clearly. Her exams and quizzes were very straightforward. She also has a very bright personality that makes her approachable and she's more than willing to help you out if you have a problem.

Stats can be hard, but she makes it easy. Getting an A in her class is easy. Infact, if you fail her class you should change your major

This prof is one of best I ever had at UMBC. Sure she does has a strong authority teaching style but is extremely helpful and has a funny sense of humor....ALthough class attendence is not required, you should always show up for class all the time and do all work if you want a easy A. Its really a easy A if you do all the work!

this teacher is the best ever at UMBC.....u must take a class with her....she is so nice and beside she knows what she's taking about....

I thought Dr. Carrol was pretty good for 101 but Dasgupta is miles ahead in quality. That is to say that Dasgupta is one of the best professors I've had and she's pretty admirable too considering the volume of her work. Come to class, browse the chapters, ace the tests.

Awesome and easy professor. Honestly, if you go to class, pay attention, and do the review sheets, there is no way you can badly in her class. She is really funny and extremely knowledgeable.

She's really nice and cares about her students. Her accent is perfectly understandable as well.

Prof Dasgupta is very knowledgeable and helpful.this semester she did something new.instead of giving quizes in class,she posted them online,they were averagely about 80 questions multiple choice online. very time consuming. she makes sure her students understand the material. very nice prof.thinks of her students as her own kids. nice prof!

Not very impressive. We covered less than a half of the book. She wasted a lot of time on a dumb kid who was constantly arguing with her, stupid show off--he had no clue. She is good at explaining, but she is very forgetful, repeats herself a lot and uses filler words--not easy on the ears. She is worth about half of the money.

Took her 2 years ago, but I still remember her lectures. She is caring(very), but extremely strict. All the material she teaches in class will be crystal clear ( in terms of understanding). Book is not needed to learn the material, just used for examples. Just show up on class and you'll receive an A/B for sure

Prof. Dasgupta's lectures are very clear and she gives many opportunities to get extra credit; she genuinely wants students to do well and makes the class easy to do well in so long as you go to class and make the effort to understand the material.

Very helpful to those who want help. read the book before class, or right after to make sure u understand. She will answer any questions u want to go over in the book. doesn't respond to email, but when u come to class she'll answer your question. doesn't take attendance but even in a lecture hall, she STILL knows who's there and who isn't.

Understands that we're all not little Einsteins so offers extra credit worth almost half of each exam. This means you can literally get 50% and still get a 100% on the test. TA is always available and also very clear and thorough. Not a math person but still excelled in this class. TAKE HER IF YOU CAN. Actually makes Stat half way interesting.

whats all the hype about her?? how about democracy when it comes to determining the exam date! mmm! perfect for procrastinators who wish for a miracle!

Best Econ teacher out there... just read the handout she gives on BB... that sets you up for the tests... easy A i got so for

VERY EASY... LOTS OF EXTRA CERDIT POINTS... MUST READ THE FORMULA EQUATION IN THE BOOK.. NO HOMEWORK... SHE TEACHES U TO UNDERSTAND... GOING TO CLASS IS MANDATORY....

She is the best! Explains everthing VERY clearly, no hw, just take notes in class and read some. If you attend class and take all her notes, easy A. She provides a ton of extra credit on tests. Only assignments are 5 tests, the lowest of which you can drop. Great teacher

She was fantastic! I was terrified about statistics, but she made everything so clear and recognized if you were attending class regularly. I would recommend her to anyone willing to put in the effort to show up to class.

She makes you do work, but it's helpful. No homework (besides 4 projects), and the lowest quiz is dropped. She even dropped our lowest Midterm. Her primary concern in the students learning. You won't find a better teacher.

I LOVED HER. if you need to take econ 102, then take it with her! i hated econ 101 nd i thought that this class would be a drag too but it was reallllyy good. for any of her exams, make SURE you review the sample questions she provides for every chap (even if you skim and understand the concepts you should fine). Easy A!

awesome prof. read the text, and TAKE THE ONLINE REVIEW TEST. some of the questions are verbatim on her tests. make sure you show up to class once n a while too because at the end of the year you get graded on whether she can recognize you or not.

Dasgupta is an amazing professor. Make sure you do her review exams that she post on blackboard because she uses the same questions for the exam. Also attend class so she knows your face for the 10% class participation grade.

GREAT. Professor, she is very very good at explaining concepts in class and cares about student learning she is nice and helpful, One of the best professors at UMBC. Most material is taught in class and little outside reading or preperation is really unecessary. If your looking to take Macro take it with DASGUPTA. period.

She's a great professor that will try to help you understand the course. Her quizzes and exams has a curve and it is really easy to get at least a B if you attend her class and take notes.

She has an accent but takes great care to make sure she is understood by everyone. She knows the material like the back of her hand. Overall great professor. WARNING - 90% OF FINAL GRADE BASED ON EXAMS. If you are a bad test taker, not recommended you take her.

She's a pretty clear professor. tells you what you need to know for the exams. her tests are based off the study guides so look them over. She says the final is based from study guides but instead it seemed like it was written in another language. Very misleading. Overall easy to get a B.

HEY YOU!! YES YOU..LISTEN TO ME. She is one of the best professors I've ever come across. You may hear otherwise but don't believe the lies! Lots of extra credit opportunities. Just come to class, do the practice problems, and the class should be a breeze. If you don't understand, ask and go to discussion to get more clarity! God Bless you!

VERYY GOOD TEACHER!!! Make sure you attend class and take good notes. Look over the study guides as soon as they are posted. She is a very effective teacher and her lectures are interesting :) You will clearly know what is expected of you in her class.

Love her! You're really missing out if you take anyone else for Macro! Her lectures and exams are straightforward and you always know what she expects from you. Beware! She will know if you come to class or not, and attendance is a grade. Regardless, missing a couple days will not count against you.

Excellent professor, attend classes, take notes and DO THE HOMEWORK!!! She is very helpful and willing to assist you so long as she sees you are a serious student

She is a true teacher. You can tell she enjoys statistics. She is very effective at helping you understand, and she wants you to do well. One of the best professors I've ever had.

One of the best teachers I have ever had. Show up to class everyday and she will know you, even if you never participate and sit in the back, it really it quite amazing. She loves students who come to class. Also, exams are straightforward and easy if you show up to class. She even has a sense of humor! She's a gem of a teacher.

Dr. Dasgupta is a sweet lady. She's a clear lecturer. Use the study guides she posts online! They look very much like the in-class quizzes. She gives many opportunities for extra credit on the quizzes. Overall, the class was reasonable.

This professor is great for Macroeconomics. I highly recommend her. You cannot lose points for skipping class, although she will put an alert on BB if you do (harmless). She follows the book, but she teaches with graphs (easy to understand) much more than words. 7 exams for your entire grade, no HW, only grades 6 best exams, and does curve

WONDERFUL TEACHER! COME TO CLASS! She has the book memorized, and puts it all on the board every class as notes. Most all tests are multiple choice, and come straight from practice tests she posts online. TAKE HER! She did move fast towards the end of the year, but raise your hand and she'll clarify anything. Accent is a little thick.

Absolutely one of the best professors I've had at this school. Makes econ interesting for any major and the professor has a sense of humor. If you take econ make sure to take it with this professor!

you need to show up to class and participate in order to get extra credit. her class is extremely difficult as she touches on matters that may not even relate to the subject. if you are in class and remembers your name she will give you plenty of EC. i did terrible on most of my tests, did extremely well on my paper and homework and still got a A.

I really enjoyed Professor Dasgupta's class. Yes, she does have an accent but she talks very clearly so that you are able to completely understand her. Her class is all lecture but she engages you and relates the material to real life situations. Also she gives extra credit on all tests and the questions and powerpoints are online beforehand.

just one word : AWESOME. she is one of the best prof at UMBC, .take her ! but you need to show up to class, she knows who is there and who is not.

Dasgupta is my favorite professor at UMBC. Very clear, very thorough, and as long as you study her handouts, you'll ace the tests. She cares about the amount of effort you contribute (I missed a final because of an unexcused medical emergency and still landed a C). She gives you very clear instruction. Just go to class!

She is the best professor at UMBC. Just study the handouts and you'll pass the class with ease. The class is very straightforward. Professor Dasgupta writes everything on the board as she has memorized the whole book. We rarely used the book in class, so I don't think it is necessary to buy one.

One of the Best. She is very clear and is very efficient in teaching the material. If you have any questions about the material she will help you clarify, only if you ask her during class or right after because she does not reply to your emails. Lots of extra credit on her quizzes. 5-6 quizzes and a final and she usually drops the lowest one.

She's a brilliant lecturer with a really really good memory. Even in a lecture hall of 150 students, if you missed a day, she'll know. If you never show up, she DEFINITELY knows. She doesn't use powerpoints just what's in her head, because she can lecture 100% without them. Book not required hw is online (just get access code). Overall so easy.

Super easy professor. If you don't go to class just find someone else who does and get the notes. Not much homework, just a few exams. Most of the exams had questions that we practically did in class. Don't worry about the term paper, it's a joke. Took her for 408 as well, same thing.

Great professor. If you attend most of the lecture there's a great chance you'll get an A. I had a C and D on two tests but still ended up gettin an A in that class. She'll call you out if you skip too many classes.

She goes at a fast pace, but doesn't assign homework. She will have handouts online with 300+ multiple choice questions for each chapter or two. THESE ARE YOUR LIFELINE. She pulls exam questions straight from these packets so READ THEM ALL. There is also a lot of extra credit (I ended with a 135% in the class). Do NOT skip her class she will know!

Dasgupta is very clear and fair. She spends the entire time hand-writing notes (rather than using PowerPoint) which makes the lecture more engaging and interesting. The fact that she has the book memorized is impressive. All exam questions are available at the beginning of the semester so there is no reason to not know/understand the answers.

her reviews are so unfair because she is such a sweet lady and she cares about her students. She is honestly one of the best professors i've had. Her exams are easy and she gives plenty of extra credits so its impossible to fail.

Professor Dasgupta runs a quality class. Attending class is a must if you want an A. She is very knowledgeable and answers every question we ask clearly. LITERALLY tells you what to do on the exam for an A. Only issue is she writes on a chalkboard so reading the board can be hard, but will read it out loud for you if need be. Would def take again.

Best teacher I've had so far at UMBC. She's extremely nice and helpful. She writes her lecture on the board, which is very engaging. I enjoy every minute of her lecture. Offer extra credits if you do well on her exams and quizzes. Come to class and study, ask for help then you'll absolutely pass the class.

Great teacher! Must show up to class to understand material. Make sure to do all of hw because it's worth a lot. Quizzes and exams can be tricky so make sure to practice a lot at home. She gives extra to make sure to take advantage of it. She can be unclear at times so make sure you ask her questions. No formula sheet is allowed on tests.

One of the best professors I've had at UMBC. She's clearly knowledgeable and explains things very well, and she clearly cares for her students. Attendance isn't technically counted, but she makes a clear point that you should attend all of them that you can; the tests are modeled after what she goes over. She also gives ample extra credit.

She's a great professor. A little naive at times as she discussed students grades in class for those who failed. However, she is such a great professor and her instructions are quite clear. In my academic pursuit this is the third statistics course I've taken and she is by far been the easiest of the instructors to understand.

She is a great professor. Her exams are straight forward. Gives good examples in class and gives plenty of extra credit on exams. She curves the final grade of an individual based on performance and effort. If you fail, you didn't try. It's a 300 level course, you have to try. Easy A if you try.

The best professor I have ever had. She has memorized the entire contents of the books she teaches from and is very understanding. If you do not do well in her course it is entirely your fault. She's very curvy and gives plenty of extra credit

If you can't get an A there's something wrong with you. Literally some tests had 60 points of extra credit on them. (so you could get 160/100) Every test includes a minimum of 10 points extra credit. I didn't open the textbook even once in the class as her lectures explain everything. Very respected by students.

Amazing teaching ability. Teaches exactly what you need to know. Completely straightforward and extremely efficient teaching skills. Take the notes given in class and you should have no issues passing the class with an A

Great and informative lectures. Writes a lot of notes which are important for tests and exams. Come to class because she knows students facially and curves exams for people who attend lectures.

Nandita Dasgupta is truly a gem. Not only is she adorable and respectable, she does not put up with any crap. I personally love this about her. Her classes are mostly lecture and can be a bit dry, but material is very straight forward. If you participate in class and say hi when you see her, she will love you.

Best stat teacher. She offers extra credit on all quizzes and exams. One time I should've gotten a C but I ended up getting an A. Go to the lectures though so you know exactly what will be on the exams. PowerPoint slides cover ALL materials but she doesn't which means you could be studying for things you don't need to know for the exam.

Easy class if you put in the work and effort. Material gets a little challenging but she'll help if you ask. Quizzes and exams mirror lectures, so if you don't take notes, you will not do well. If she knows your face, you will get extra credit and there's e.c. on every quiz and exam (a lot!) Few h.w. assignments. 10/10 recommend. Great professor!

I can honestly say that she is the best professor I've ever had in college so far. Her lectures are simple, straightforward, and very informative. She is strict, but it's so that her students can learn and understand better. Very knowledgeable and a very nice person as well. You won't regret taking the class with her, trust me.

Great lecturer and doesnt read off any PowerPoint. She really knows her stuff. There was 4 quizzes and 2 midterms and a final. A quiz and the midterm were dropped. They key is to attend lectures and review the worksheets for the quizzes. The worksheets given in discussion are very helpful.

Didnt know anything about economics going into this class. Still do not know anything about economics after this class. But, i got an A. Just do your homework and talk to her in class, ask questions, make jokes, make her like you, and she will give you at least a B

I took Dasgupta for ECON 101 and I liked her style so I took STAT 351 with her and she remembered my face and name from ECON. She is very observant and straight forward. If you try and come to class she WILL help you out. Her lectures are basically the textbook so you don't really need to buy or read it. Study the class notes and you'll pass easily

Nandita can be strict. Just don't give her a reason to be mad at you, she is a very fair person. ECON has so much extra credit, before the final, I had a 102 in her class. You MUST go to class to understand the material as the book is not used (except for homework). This is a class you need to stay on top of and maintain.

Quizzes and exams are pretty easy, she gives extra credit in the tests and for attendance. Watch out for the final, it was significantly harder than the quizzes

She cares about her students and is open to any questions. The class is mainly graded on quizzes and exams. Aplia homeworks (online) can get tedious. If you study your class notes and the Aplia homeworks well, you can easily pass the class. She also gives extra credit on every quiz and exam, which is very helpful. The final was very hard though.

I loved statistics in high school, Dasgupta did a great job reviewing prior to exams and gave a lot of work problems for practice.

She is a great professor. Hew lectures are kinda boring. The materials that she gives students are so helpful for quizzes and exams. Quizzes are not that hard, but the final exams is very hard and has a lot of questions. You need to prepare well for that.

Prof. Dasgupta can come off as mean sometimes but truly cares about students at the end of the day. STAT 351 is not very difficult in terms of content but you learn a lot during a semester so the final is rather difficult on top of your other courses. As long as you attend lectures regularly, take detailed notes and do hw you will do great!

She doesn't really respond to emails quickly, if at all, so try to catch her after class if you need to talk.

Dasgupta is a caring professor but very outdated. She teaches by writing on the board and you gotta copy everything down to keep up. Tests are from a test bank, so not too hard to do well. She gives minimum 10% extra credit per test, and also gives extra credit out for participation. Overall her classes are on the easier side. An A takes 60% effort

Synchronous class with mandatory lectures. Hw is relatively easy and tests are based on lecture notes and PowerPoint slides with webcam mandatory. She was much better in-person and more accessible with respect to questions and concerns. Overall I would wait to take her with an in-person class as you will learn the most and get better help.

I took ECON311 last spring. It was hard until we went virtual since the exam questions are taken from test bank/the web. Also she assigned an essay that was 20% of our grade; I didn't submit & still got an A. She said she makes sure we're on par with ivy league students by using a comparable curriculum. She is a tough yet caring person. very smart2

Our class was completely online, and the professor was very flexible with homework and testing windows. Her lectures are long, detailed, and sometimes unclear, but she truly cares about her students imo. She has a slight accent and speaks loudly (which some other reviewers claim as rude). Every test and quiz has over 10% ec available. Great class!

Good professor. She cares about her students. However I will say her lectures can sometimes be unclear and a bit of rambling. But she is nice and offers lot of extra credit points and reopened our homework assignments.

Professor Dasgupta is great. I've had her for 5 classes now, and while her lectures can be a little unorganized her class is really easy. The online hw's/quizzes are a piece of cake and her exams aren't hard. Take notes, study the material, and your fine. There was a paper at the end of the semester, you pick the topic, and it's also very easy.

3 Test (each 10%), one cumulative final exam (30%), and homework on respective chapters (mind tap)(30%). Attendance counts as 10% of grade. Read the PPT, the chapters, and take notes in class and you should be able to get an A. Tests are really hard but is curved 10%. Dr. Dasgupta might come off as mean and strict at first but deep down she's kind

These other reviews are pretty harsh because Prof. Dasgupta genuinely cares for her students. She offers long windows for exams and even curves all of them, as well as SO MANY extra credit opportunities in every lecture by simply participating. Don't be fooled by the harsh reviews cuz those students probably didn't put in the effort.

Professor Dasgupta is very caring and really clear with all her lectures. She really wants her students to do their best and always gives out extra credit every lecture. Her exams are not too bad but you do need to do the homework and worksheets to help you out. She is great and the harsh reviews are unnecessary!

There was no discontinuity between the material presented in the homework and exams; pretty consistent all around. Rough presenter; writes on an iPad. Best strategy is to just copy what she says on a Word document, then look through it later and pick out the main concepts for flashcards. If you do this, this class is an easy A, guaranteed.

This class is straight forward: exams, HW each month and research paper that's directions were confusing and all over the place so avoid doing it last minute. Study the slides because it provides in depth details about the concepts and it'll help with the exams. She offers A LOT of extra credit by participating. Stay consistent you'll get an A.

pretty easy class everything is online just lock in slightly on the exams and study the material she gives you and take notes during lecture. overall pretty simple class

This is my second time having Professor Dasgupta, she is bland but kind. Course material is like 320 and 311 combined. Give plenty of time to do homework, one had 120 questions. Exams are just like homework, and there are only 4, with lockdown browser, plenty of time. One easy project. Confusing lectures with mandatory participation and attendance.

Professor Dasgupta cares about her students and offers plenty of extra credit opportunities. The lectures can be unclear at times, but staying engaged and using resources like unstuck AI for study prep can help you succeed in this challenging course.

Took Professor Dasgupta for Econ 320 and Stat 351. She is very intelligent and has a deep understanding of the material. She provides Power-point slides that are very helpful when studying for exams. Exams make up most of the grades but she provides extra credit just for participation in class. Lectures are very informative as well. Great Professor
