I was put in this class becasue I failed my skills test.. She's an all right teacher. It's sorta hard to understand her sometimes because of her accent, and sometimes she goes way into depth about certain examples.
She's a great math teacher! She explains everything in depth and she's so helpful. She always takes the time to explain a concept if a student doesn't understand it and her tests are pretty easy. If you have to take MTH or QNM, definitely make sure you've got her because it'll be a good experience.
A great teacher!!!
She's an excellent teacher!! very helpful. Explains the material in a very clear way. If you have to take QNM I really recommend her. She is very charistmatic as well.
amazing teacher, very easy to get along with, good stuff!
Good teacher, very smart. She will love you if you are quiet and respectfull. Watch out for her odor...! Easy class.
ok teacher wish her accent was better tho so i can understand better.
A great Math Teacher !!! She explains so very well.
Very nice prof. Explained everything superbly and explained exactly how she allocated every single mark. Her accent may be hard to understand. Besides that a easy A if u show up every class and listen.
Very nice, good professor. She helps you a lot. Very understanding and shows concern to her students.... Love her a lot.
she is very good at math. i don't have to read textbook very often after/before her class. her explaining is very clear. if you are taking math, she is a good choice!!!
Not a very smart teacher, I had to correct her 3 times in one semester.
Excellent taecher!Wonderful learning from this teacher!
She is very understanding and helpful to students who are having difficulty with math. her accent is a problem sometimes but that should not stop you from attending all her classes and doing her assigned homework in which you will guaranteed will get an A+
Really good teacher. Before i hated math and when i went into her class i actually liked it. Explains things really good!
This teacher is horrible, ends class early and its hard to understand her when she speaks.She gets angry when you try to ask her questions.
WOW! Excellent Teacher. I learned a lot..
Padma is a great teacher! I had her in 158 as well, i must say, i disliked her at first, but with some time and getting used to, shes amazing! i got an A+ in her 158 class, and im currently getting an A+ in her 103 class as well
Such a nice teach! She will help you and wants you to suceed. She explains the material very clearly.
she is a great teacher, very understanding , easy marker. take her class you wont be disappointed trust me. A+ all the way!
QNM 103/ QNM104 -GREAT TEACHER
She is very helpful explaining every concepts you need to know. Overall, a superb prof...
Great teacher; tough topics made quite simple.Excellent teaching.
Great teacher. Explains concepts clearly that you do not need to read textbook. However, you do need the textbook for homework questions.
AMAZING TEACHER!!! you wanna pass math take her she explains everything really clearly... but I do have to say if u miss a class you wont know what your doing
Ok so in high school I was the "retard" of the class in math but i managed to get an A+ with her.. my attendance was 100%. If you go to class and do all the homework you should get a good mark at the end. Also the finals were easy. She is a very good teacher in my opinion, every topic was well explained with in class practice.
Seriously, Padma Gopinath is the best!She knows HOW to teach !Fun to be in class and GREAT person ! HAd a great semester with her!
wanna get A take her class.best 4 international students.
The best math prof ive ever had. I usually always failed math in the past but thanks to her im doing very well in the course. Love going to her class she makes math easy and understandable. Take her class!
Great prof! It's very easy to understand her, and you can pass her class if you attend everyday. She is very funny and very useful! :) Take her!
best math teacher i have ever had. She is easy and makes it easy to understand math.
The most great math teacher that I had. If you want to pass the class in an easy way, take her class please!
Worst math teacher. Very rude
She is not organized when teaching on the board, she writes everywhere. When you ask her a question she doesn't answer it clearly and directly. I got even more confused after she has "explained". She makes a lot of little mistakes that shouldn't be made by a math teacher.
Wonderful teaching
Fantastic teaching; attend classes, do the worksheets and listen... we get can get the competence for A+
The teacher is a MBA candidate but she beat around the bush all the time and always confuses students with her partial and incomprehensive opinions on business issues.
Nice teacher
Awesome teaching. Very knowledgeable. Good course and teacher to be with.
She is a fantastic teacher who has the best interest for her students. She gives students the opportunity to do well.
Great teacher but doesn't use finical calculator.
She's awesome! Very kind and wants all to do well. Lots of bonus marks. Great teacher who values every student!
She is one of the best and caring professor at Seneca. I had MTH158 with Ms. Gopinath, she is very helpful and explains until you understand. I would definitely suggest this professor for the students who have hard time learning fundamentals of Math or any other level she offers.
Awesome Professor
She thoroughly explains the steps to take to solve the math problems in a way that makes it easy to understand and do it on your own. doesn't speed through the lesson. Veryy good prof. I'd defiantly take her again
Awesome teaching! Makes the topics EASY to understand. Lost of Bonus marks and opportunities to learn!
She is amazing Professor and I want to have her again.
Intelligent Professor, She Injects the Knowledge of Math into your brain.
Shes a tough marker, does not respond to emails and makes her tests very difficult. Would not recommend!
Good professor, very repetitive with instructions, lectures progressed very slowly.
Made me love Math
She is not a helpful person at all. Always gives too complicated tasks for students. Miss , please, follow the text book style. Don't make up the tasks ,if English your second language.
Very tough marker and test very difficult and long
Excellent Professor for any course, especially QNM106,104,103
An amazing professor who wants the best for her students. She is caring, patient, and is not afraid to own up to her mistakes.
One of the best teachers. Pay attention to her lectures surely you will get good marks.
I've never learned anything in her class. Her lecture was all over the place. Be ready to read your textbook as you will have to do a self study to understand her lessons.
Very structured, very knowledgeable, clear lectures
I can not understand this teacher for the life of me. In my opinion, professors should have full clarity in their voice in order to communicate and teach students efficiently.
She's AWESOME
Totally ridiculous teacher, doesnt want to answer questions during the test when its not even answering a question but to fix a mistake she wrote!! What kind of a teacher is that?? COME ON SENECA
Padma is amazing! Helps all she can during classes. Very thorough. She expects competencies in the tests. Very interactive and very helpful.
Amazing teacher, clarifies concepts very well.
Amazing teacher, some times she is strict but the way she teach you'll enjoy learning math. May be I can say one of the best teacher ever came across my life.
I took her class for MBF101 and she is the best teacher i had so far for math. She get along with others very well.
Amazing professor! Super sweet and kind! She definitely made math more enjoyable and made sure you can understand it.
nice lady trys to help but not very good at it
Padma is amazing! We are a bunch of no-gooders at Math. She helped go over the concepts so well that we could get actually get it. Very caring, and a great person though a bit strict. We had fun as we learnt and enjoyed her classes.
She is a nice lady but I had to stop coming to class after the 3rd week because I couldn't understand her. I only came to class to do my exams. Thanks to the online labs and lessons and the text book, it was way easier for me to understand and practice at home.
Hard to understand, her lectures are unorganized, barely relates to the textbook except for Math problems. Only says things once and does not repeat when asked. Depends mainly on the online portion graded by the textbook company. Only 2 assignments which she is very unclear on instructions then ends up being a tough grader. Would not recommend.
This course is hard. Needs a lot of reading, Math and Market knowledge. Professor makes it as good as she can. Need to study though. Professor goes through all topics and they need be reviewd at home as they are hard. Good person. She's an amazing prof. Course topic is hard and we need to study
This woman cannot teach for her life!!! she just reads stuff from the textbook without explaining it and writes it on the board expecting us to know it. she is often very confused and just keeps on talking forever and it seems as if every one is confused
she's a nice lady and wants the best from you but I think Padma can ease up on the way she grades students she to understand no one going to be perfect so little tiny errors should be a big deal and she can TALK you to sleep
Guys please take this professor she is so good and she helped me a lot. So please take her in your course.
I never struggled so much with effectively communicating to a professor as I have with her. I write tough grader here because she is not able to clearly articulate how you will be marked on her so called "mini assignments." Therefore you will not know how you got all the decimals she gave you and you can't criticize or question her about it either.
Good professor but strict with the due dates and grading
she teaches and explain well, but she is very tough grader. Also she give you a lot of assignments and exercise.
Padma is very knowledgeable but moves through the material very fast. However, she's always happy to stop and explain equations if you need help. Very nice lady!
Messy assignments and exercises, hard to follow up with progress
Very nice person, medicore teacher. I rather have a teacher who will respond to my emails and have a clear response when it comes to grading. Padma is the exact oposite. Although she is very loving and talks to her students like we're her kids, she's terrible at communicating and she's even worst when it comes to technology. She's basically a mom.
She is the worst prof I've had at Seneca so far. Just super terrible. Her English is horrible so in the beginning you don't understand a word. With time you get used to it though. Exams are horrendous since her grammar and word choice make questions extremely confusing. Overall, if you care for your grades, avoid this creature at all costs.
Attendance is not mandatory. Just keep doing labs and tests that's it.
Follow the instructions in the class and for all the assignments, also be ready to fail an assignment just for the file extension (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????)
Very Good Learning Experience
Please be considerate as it is obvious that English is not her first language. She sends out reminders sufficiently for all course requirements (in-person, emails, Blackboard). She admits mistakes and I'm ok with it. It doesn't make her less of a teacher, at least she's very honest and open to corrections. She has a friendly approach to her class.
She is Awesome! Clear explanations. timely reminders, efficient This course is tough and needs work. Be prepared for that...Good Learning experience!
This is the worst professor ever, please do yourself a favour and select another professor. She will just grade you 0 in assignments with no explanation, then, she is rude when you ask kindly for an explanation. Also, if English is your second language, be ready to not understand a single word, she has the strongest accent in the school.
She provided introduced quite well and made its structure understandable. Constantly motivates the students and really appreciates participation in the lectures. Kind-natured but the mother tongue influence on her English can be a problem for some non-native speakers. Otherwise, go ahead without having a second thought !..
The MBF101 math course is very easy, over half of the class are learning online. Glad that she dont take attendance. Beware that an $90 online package is required, for online quiz, midterm tests, and final exam. Her speaking is not easy to follow, any course above 100, 101, 110 level, should review after 1st 2nd class, see if need to swap class.
Keeps having issues grading work on Blackboard but otherwise her course is easy to pass as long as you do the work. Just make sure you doublecheck your work, I had a lot of answers marked wrong but were actually correct. I think it was how the answers were put in on BBU. Lectures are a bit blah but textbook is free w/c is always a good thing.
She's fantastic, very Genuine and very knowledgeable. If you attend classes, participate and follow the course needs, she likes that! Crystal clear explanations and uses current topics, Good Market Insights, very Friendly and nice Professor! A-Must-take !
WORSE PROF
Very good
Professor Gopinath can be challenging but engaging if you put in the effort. Attend class, use the free textbook, and try unstuck AI for study prep - it really helped me grasp the concepts. Overall, a rewarding course if you're willing to work hard.
Her explanation is alright. She's pretty sweet. MBF 101 is through Vretta, so I can't say anything about her grading, because if your answer is correct you get full or you get zero. Besides that, she's a good professor.
She's Super
The professor announced only a few hours before the midterm that the exam would use LockDown Browser and that having a camera is mandatory. I share a home and don't have a laptop camera, which made it difficult. Communication was unclear, and it was sometimes hard to understand her English.
Follow Instructions, the Blackboard and Classes. She announces all things ahead and there is enough Prep time. Has to follow College's and Subject policies, be it evaluations or Lockdown. She does inform that.
Professor Padma Gopinath is very polite and professional. Her class is well organized, and you learn many important things. I recommend her.
