SHE TEACHES VERY WELL. EVEN THOUGH I GOT "B" IN THE COURSE, I LEARNED SO MUCH. BEST TEACHER IN MATH.
She is kool i guess, she teaches well, i got a C in her class and i only showed up for the tests, so i guess attendence doesn't matter. She seems to care, and want to help you. Over all nice lady!!!
Very detailed and helpful. Gives homework and go over them in class; she really cares that you learn. Her exams are fair and she tries to make you get a good grade. You should take her.
great professor nice women test based on home work
She is an amazing teacher! She truly cares how her students do in her class. She taught and reviewed so well that I didn't even need to study for the final as much and I did excellent in the class. (BTW, I suck at math!) I totally recommend her!
I highly recomend her. She is the best teacher for math 122. I took math 122 in H.S but i didn't understand it as well as I do now. She is very helful and cares that you do well. Also her test are not hard. They are based on class notes and on the H.W , which she goes over. Take her you won't regret it.
luv her alot.she knows her stuff.goes over hw.fair exams if u study 4 it. very helpful in and outside the class. care alot about students. cute and cheerful.take her and u will never gonna regret that.believe me. she is the best math teacher ever.
Professor Kalra is the best. I love her teaching approach and I think that teaching pre-calc is her true calling! She's simply the best. THANKS PROFESSOR KALRA!!!!!!!
she goes too fast
she does go over the material fastt. you will need to work on a subject by yourself or go tutuoring after leaving her classes. overall she is sweet and nice and does care about students ..but still het teaching method is not that good
Amazing. One of the best teachers in this school. Does not make life hard on you, very easy tests, lowest grade dropped, fun, good and very effective teacher . knows her stuff 100%. you will only fail her class if you are missing a brain. A wonderful teacher.
The most easygoing math teacher I have ever had in my life. This lady knows her stuff to the bone, you need help she is there to help you. Such a nice personality, funny and a very good-hearted person. She made precalculus for me the easiest class in the world, tends to go a bit fast but as soon as you mentioned that to her she will slow down.
she is a very good teacher. she cares about her students. the test are fair and homework is optional. she goes over the material a lil too fast tho.
The best professor I have ever taken. She gave four class tests plus a final. She dropped the lowest grade and also gave quizzes which she added ten points to the tests. How easy students want to be her. I failed the first test, but passed the other three and gave me an A. if you are planning to take 122, I would recommend taking her. You would be
BEST MATH PROF EVER!! she KNOWS HOW TO TEACH! unlike other profs. Knows her materials VERY WELL! DEFINITELY take her, she the best.
Extremely polite and very helpful. She is the best prof that Qc has to offer. She made the class so easy. Exams are easy, but you have to study FOR it. Gives quizes and then she adds those quizes towards the tests. Drops the lowest grade. As far as i know all of friends passed with an excellent grade. You will learn alot. best prof ever. Got an A.
Best math prof ever, just study and you will do fine. If you are planning to take math 122, please take HER. Even though if you are not good in math, you would still pass the class with a decent grade. Got an A.
this prof is very sweet. she is a very good teacher however she does tend to go a bit too quickly. she will always help you if you need it and is willing to help you after before and at other times during her schedule. she genuinely cares about the students. If you take her and study you can get an A easily.
i love professor Kalra, because she is so nice, and how she teach is reali good, you will understand everything she said, if you show up in class, she will take her time to go over again if you don;t understand. for my whole semester,she is my best professor ever.
great proffesor! very clear in her teaching, she is a must when your taking precal. 4 exam, lowest grade dropped, and final - she gives reviews for hos exam - but if you go t class and do hw its a breeze!
great proffesor! very clear in her teaching, she is a must when your taking precal. 4 exam, lowest grade dropped, and final
Best. Teacher. Ever. I would honestly take ever math class with her if I could; there is NO better math teacher in the world. And I would not say that about any teacher.
She's the best Professor EVER!
took her during summer session, awesome teacher! i loved going to her class at 8 in the morning everyday! if i needed to take another math course it would be with her!
loved her class and she would go over it if u did not understand i would take her again.
AWESOME teacher! I usually struggle with math and was nervous after I realized how much work was involved. Prof. Kalra was extremely helpful and she kept checking in to see if everyone understood or if she was going too fast. I would definitely take her again. I would advise other people to take her too. Great teacher!!
I struggled with Pre-cal in the beginning because it was a review of mth 115 which i didn't take and she made it so much easier explaining everything and she drops the lowest exam! I highly recommend her!
Prof. Kalra is one of the kindest and most helpful Math teachers I have ever had. I am terrible at Math, but she made it easy to understand and was always willing to explain things numerous times. She does tend to go a little fast, but if you have the chance to take her do it! You will not regret it. (And she has a great sense of humor.)
Prof. Kalra is an amazing teacher. She has a great understanding of the material and knows how to relay it. She is extremely nice and helpful. It was a pleasure to be in her class.
This is by far the best math teacher that I have encountered throughout my college career. Prof. Kalra is clear and super helpful. She goes over homeworks daily. Will not move on to a new topic until the entire class understands. Do the homework, participate in class and keep up with the chapter and you'll be just fine. She's avail outside of class
shes simply the best! so clear, so helpful...
Thou, my grade was low (C+) I cannot blame her. I barely passed 2/3 exams she gave. However, her exams are designed to make the Final look like a joke. Keep in mind, I'm returning to School w/ a 10+yr gap in Math & she does go fast. Also, I took 6 classes :-( so my time was sparse. Just don't be afraid to stop her & ask your questions, she'll help.
I had her for the Summer program. She is a really nice woman and very helpful. She will try her best so that you understand and is really fun to be around. :D She is a wonderful person and professor. Def. recommend her. She might be fast at times, but ask for help, she will surely help u.
I find myself strangely in love with math after taking Prof. Kalra's summer course. She is very clear, helpful and considerate. She genuinely wants everyone to do well in her class. She knows the material very well.She is very good at reviewing the basis before introducing the new methods. Take good classnote, do all the homework. you will be fine.
great professor. She explained the material really well and she wont move on until everyone undersands. Shes extremely clear and has really neat handwriting. Homework every night from the textbook.Definitely recommend.
Great teacher! helped me understand the material very well but make sure you show up for ever class in order to understand all the material. she is very busy and her reviews are very fast you wont truly understand unless you are there for her lessons. I have never had a math teacher explain math as clearly as she did.
I highly recommend taking this professor for a math class. Professor Kalra is eager to help you and is fair about her tests. However, I do not recommend taking this class during the summer because of the short period of time and the amount of topics that need to be covered.
Professor Kalra rocks! I took her class in the summer session. She was VERY clear and helpful which is a BIG plus especially in such a short session. I love the way she teaches Math. She makes a boring subject fun! I look forward to going to her class everyday.
I suck at maths, i hate it, but thanks to professor Kalra i finally got a decent grade in Maths 115. She is very helpful, very clear and helps you with your grade.
I took her for summer session. Now i am taking Math 122 with another teacher. It makes me miss her class a lot. She makes the math world all clear and fun. She is very considerate, helpful and knowledgeable with the subject. Definitely recommend her if you want to learn and succeed in Math 115. I really hope to be in her class again.
She doesn't collect homework or make you feel guilty when you don't do it. She's really clear, to the point, and willing over it if you still don't understand. Her tests are fair and she reviews a bit before the test. Also, what you learn in class is what he puts on the est. You mainly use the text book for HW. And she's not boring. TAKE HER!
Easy course. Cant possibly complain about her becasue she's fantastic! I deff. recomend her! She gives out review sheets, extra credit quizes, partial credit, and sometimes curves!
She is quite possibly the best Math Professor in QC. She goes over everything until everyone understands and also makes time outside of class to assist students. She gives 4 easy tests and a couple of quizzes. I HIGHLY recommend her!
One of the best Math teachers our there. She explains everything in depth and does not pull random numbers outta the air. She makes sure you know why everything is happening. I would definitely recommend her. I am currently taking her class. I used to despise math but she makes it clear and incredibly easy to follow. I am going to miss her!
highly recommended for the people who do not like math because she explains very well and makes it understandable. very nice person, she will help you out after class if you do not understand the material
She is such a wonderful professor, who not only makes it a priority of hers that the whole class understands & learns the material, but she is guaranteed to make math a bit less dreadful for math haters. Would def recommend her.
Class is very difficult ton of material jammed into each class therefore 100% attendance is essential or you'll be lost. She is very nice, available after every class to help, when everyone did poor she gave extra quizzes to boost our grades. She cares and teaches very well, BUT she goes a bit fast. Be ready to work hard, but that's every precalc
BEST MATH PROFESSOR AT QUEENS COLLEGE! She explains everything clearly and really wants her students to do well.I didn't really enjoy math before but taking her class was one of the best decisions i've made.
Great Teacher!
She is the BEST TEACHER. I hate math and was very afraid to take this class. The class is very tough but she is an amazing teacher and is very very willing to help you with ways you can do better. Seriously she cares about her students. Tough class but this teacher will help you through it. Just take her.
Overall she's very nice and helpful but her tests are tough due to the fact that the material is rather different and more difficult than what she claims would be on the test. Always fast pace and rushing material , not really clarifying in explaining material. shes ok
Preclac in general is a tough class. Professor Kalra is a great professor. She really cares about the students and really tried to make the material understandable by giving quizzes every week. She is awesome in teaching but you have to put the effort in attending class and doing the homework. Would 100% definitely take another class with her. :)
First of all 122 is not an easy course. A lot of material to cover and she doesn't leave anything out. So its going to be a very fast paced class. If you already forgot your algebra, you'll have hard time. She goes extremely fast. Quiz once a week. Online HW, 3 exams & 1 departmental cumulative final.
GREAT TEACHER , explains each theory until student understands it fully , if you need Pre-Cal or any other math class and shes teaching it , sign up immediately!!!!!
Great class. Most understandable math class I ever taken. Shes fair. Great professor! Knows how to teach!
I have not been in school since the seventh grade. I am now 31. I got my GED. Math is my biggest weakness and like a foreign alien language to me. This professor made everything very understandable and clear. She had a great sense of humor and made these concepts understandable. I could not recommend a better math teacher in the CUNY system
Prof. Kalra is one of the best professors I've ever had. She really cares about her students and will do everything in her power to help you do well. It is essential that you go to class and do all of the homeworks that are assigned. If you do this, there is no reason why this class can't be an easy A.
She is amazing!!! I had her for precalc this semester and she was one of, if not the best math teacher/professor I had in my life. I would take her million times over.
would take her again. Review is important. Math 122 covers a lot of material, but it will easy if you have this professor. Quiz every weeks, three exams, homework, participation. Ps: I think the quiz is more difficult than the final, perhaps I didn't study.
Amazing!!!!! You all should take her . She is extremely helpful and wants you all to do well. Absolutely no cellphones she wants your full attention. You will have homework and weekly but it is all to help you and it will help. She is available to help and welcome everyone to her office hours.
Prof. Kalra is crystal clear when it comes to explaining in a way where everyone understands. Even if you suck at math you got nothing to worry about as long as you pass her occasional quizzes and do the homework Definitely helps when you go in for tutoring and always makes you laugh. :D
Prof. Priya is amazing. I took her this semester Summer 2 2016. She made sure I understand all the material she was teaching. I must say I started off bad but ended passing with a B- TAKE HER!!!
Very good professor and worth taking. Don't step out of class or she will call you out on it but overall she really cares for her students and she makes sure you understand Calculus and is also available during her office hours for review.
Prof. Priya is one of the best calculus professors in QC! Her lectures are amazing and full of knowledge. She puts all her efforts to make difficult material easy for students. 2 regular exams, lots of quizzes and a cumulative final. Just do the online homework, participate in class and you'll get an A. Btw no cell phones during the lecture!!!!!!
I'm gonna get real. I failed calc 2 times before & taken full time tutoring. With prof kalra I understood the material in a 6 week course without tutoring. She's amazing, breaks it, down even prints out helpful sheets for you. She hates cellphones and people not paying attention. But the effort you give her she'll def. give in return. Shes the best
Professor Kalra is an excellent teacher - she knows how to explain the material in a clear manner and is always ready to help if you don't understand something. Her tests are based on what she covers in class and textbook is not mandatory. Attendance is important. Come to class, do homework and you will pass!
It's very hard to find a good math teacher like her who breaks down the basics of math so that everyone can understand. I'd consider myself pretty good at math, but with her teaching, as long as you do the work(which is not that much) you will get a good grade.
One of the best professors at QC. Just don't take your phone out during class and you'll be fine. You will learn everything you need to learn, if you pay attention and do homework. EASY A , the SI Melene isnt that valid though.
Excellent choice for the SEEK Program. Would like to take her for the higher levels of math.
Awesome professor.
Fantastic professor! She explains topics thoroughly and genuinely cares about how much the students are learning. Do the web assign homework and pay attention in class. You'll do better than you expect. Took a lower level math with a different professor and got a higher grade in Professor Kalra's class.
She is really helpful in terms of teaching. Also she is always caring.
Prof. Kalra, is amazing. She gives inspiration and cracks jokes in between lecture and classwork. The one thing she doesnt like is the cell phone, word of advance, hide it in your backpack or pocket. She gives breaks in between the two hours of lecture. SHE GIVES extra credit for her students to do better and gives options for finals or quizzes.
Prof. Kalra is an amazing instructor! Shes very understanding and wants you succeed in life, in general. Please take her!
Shes just AWESOME!! I thoroughly enjoyed her class and has learnt a whole lot of stuff !! Will def opt to take her again. If you are a wise ass or have attitudes, she is not going to tolerate that !!
She is the best professor I have had so far. I took her class in the summer and she explained everything so clearly. She makes it look so easy. However her tests are hard. But they prepare you for the final. Her tests made the final look like a walk in the park. She is very approachable and extremely caring and wants everyone to do well. TAKE HER!
Great professor.
Professor Kalra is always up to answer questions. I took her over the summer and although it was a short term she taught me a lot. It was a joy to be taught by her. Shes funny and she really wants you to pass and do well in life.
Professor Kalra is a great teacher but be prepared to work for your grades, tests are hard and long. but you will definitely learn a lot.
Prof Kalra did an incredible job teaching the material and was very clear about what would be on each test. However, she does not tolerate garbage from her students so dont try pulling anything on her because she WILL call you out on it. Very generous with taking off points on the tests and even offered an extra credit quiz to boost our grades
I took her for precalc in a summer semester and it was very intense. 3 1/2 hours of class, m,tu,w,th at 8am as well large homework which can take 4 four hours to figure out. That said, it's very clear that all of it was necessary as Precalc has much more material than Calc 141/151, whereas calc is just a few difficult concepts based on it all.
Professor Kalra was the best math professor i ever had! She teaches the material very clear and goes over it until you understand the material. Gives extra credit. I am the worst at math and I hate taking math but I truly enjoyed this class over the summer.
Felt like shes racing to the next problem at times. Something she does skip steps and then I get lost on how shes gets something. I feel like the only reason student did good is because they went for tutoring with si which helped out a lot on doing well on the test but shes gone now. Quiz are every two weeks I believe. Calculator is a must.
Awesome Professor!! This was the best math course I have ever taken because I actually learnt the material!! Will surely opt to take her again in the future - She is funny, highly respected and very professional .
I'm taking a ton of calc because I'm studying Engineering and I have to say to so far, the one-month Precalc summer class I took with her has been one of the hardest. A lot of material and so little time so it was like Math boot camp. 300+ minutes of class, every morning, mon-thurs, 300-600 minutes of HW every night, lots of memorization.
Amazing professor
Loved Professor Kalra. Very easy class. Online home works. Explains material very well and makes sure you understand the lesson. Take her class you won't regret it!
HORRIBLE PROFESSOR!!!
Great Professor!! Fast paced course was taught brilliantly by Prof. Kalra. If you dont keep up with homeworks or miss classes it is impossible to make up. Quizzes curve up test grades and plenty of chances given to make up for bad grades. Will surely recommend her.
My experience was not great with her only because of her nasty attitude at the end towards me and giving me disrespect while I respected her so much. All that aside she teaches the material pretty well, cares and asks if you have questions. Always late to class, doesn't show up for scheduled tutoring. She's ok aside from her attitude& punctuality.
The class was hard but was broken down very well by the professor. Lots of quizzes which helped us boost exam grades. Easy to talk to her and very fair exams. She wants everyone to do well. But no cell phones in her class and she will call you out if you are disrespectful to her. Overall loved her class and will surely take her again!
This is my third semester with Prof. Kalra. She is an amazing teacher and I have waited a semester to take this course with her. She is probably one of the best Math Prof at QC. Take any class shes teaching and you are sure to learn well. She is very busy so her S.I is the best approach for extra help. But she answers any questions after class.
She is great professor. She explains everything in detail and is willing to help anyone who does not understand the material. She is very sweet, caring and straightforward, knows exactly what she is talking about. Passionate about the subject.
Amazing professor. Knows how to teach math well. Can initially come off as strict but in reality is very caring and considerate. Always willing to help after class, understanding if you need to be absent or need an extension on a HW. If you take a math course in the summer, be prepared to work for it. Lot of material and not the professor's fault.
This professor is incredible! Professor Kalra has a clear teaching style that makes math simple. She's bright and truly cares about you learning from her and not just passing. I have always hated math but after taking her class, I'm excited to continue pushing my ability to continue studying mathematics. Take her class!!!
Professor Kalra is the best!! She teaches the material in a clear way and will not move on unless everyone feels comfortable and understands the material. She is also easily available outside of the classroom for extra help. She wants you to do well and will do everything she can to help you succeed! I definitely recommend taking her!!
Takes time to break down the material to best accommodate each student. Fair grading criteria, allows extra credit and drops worst quiz score.
Her method of teaching is different from all a lot of math professors. She gives extensions on homework, she takes her time to go over things with the class before exams. She makes you feel confident about her exams. If you listen and follow her guidance you'll definitely pass with a decent grade.
very considerated for student.
Mad disrespectful towards students. Knows her subject very well, but she will baby seats u like a kindergarten student. u dont have to use ur phone if he sees ur phone nearby she will take it and give it bk after cls. Tons of unnecessary hw's. She took points off from my test cuz of my handwriting and wrote "write clearly". Find someone better.
Prof Kalra is an amazing teacher. Her classroom rules include no cell phones which is made clear on the first day of classes. I dont remember her being nasty about it to anyone or being rude at all in the classroom. She is very caring and only teaches math in class. She has a clear grading criteria and wants her students to do well.
Worse professor in qc. save yourself and don't take her she makes math so hard for no reason she will teach you material that is unnecessary and lots of homework. she will give easy questions in class but the test will be 10 times harder
Save your time and do not take her. this was the worst mistake in my life
Prof Kalra is an amazing teacher. Her class follows 2 strict rules- dont be absent/late all the time and dont be on the phone during class. Her lectures and method of teaching will make anyone learn the subject really well. She gives out answer keys after exams and curves big using quizzes. I will certainly taken her again in a heartbeat !
Prof Kalra is possibly the best math teacher at QC. Her methods are very straightforward and clear. She makes sure everyone understands a topic before moving on. Never embarrasses anyone or make them look stupid. She will treat you with respect and answer all questions clearly. I hope to take her in the future if possible. Highly recommended at QC.
The best math professor, highly recommend everyone to take prof. kalra. Her teaching style is very easy to understand. She cares about her students, willing to help outside of class as well. Thank you for being the best professor kalra.
Honestly speaking professor Kalra is the best. All of her homeworks are done online. Two hw's a week which helps you better understand the material. Professors assistant Ms. Greene is also very helpful. Her teaching style is amazing, she makes everything easy to understand. Highly recommend everyone to take her.
Professor Kalra is an amazing Calc Professor. She teaches slowly in order for Students to understand. She does plenty of problems in class in order for the student to become familiar with the material. The class rubric is this: 60% for three exams, 25% final exam, and 15% for quizzes which count as extra credit towards the exams.
Shes a real gem at QC. She makes sure every student understands the material before moving forward. She is also very understanding in terms of completing homework, she cares about you retaining the material instead of what score you receive. Quizzes in-class help for extra credit towards exam grades.
Professor Kalra is amazing! She is caring, patient and funny! I really enjoyed her class, and that's saying a lot since its a math class! she is very understanding with her assignments and exams. there are extra credit quizzes that help add points to your exams and biweekly HW that has a loose deadline. Take her and cherish her!
In person she is wonderful and an amazing professor. Online on the other hand difficult and not understanding during corona times. If you are someone who doesn't have a private room without any "distractions" (Little siblings or family) to have all of your classes and other responsibilities, then I don't recommend you to have her for online class.
Prof Kalra is an amazing person. Her class is conducted as if we were in person, make sure videos are on, gives homework extensions, tests are quite reasonable and online. I have learned a lot so far. Will surely recommend her.
Students have to turn on their camera in the class.
Professor Kalra cares about her students and doesnt mind if you ask too many questions. Participation is important here, and she offers office hours if you seek to work one on one. Overall, take her if you wish to have someone ready to help you.
Must pay attention in order to pass class
The professor explains the material very well, however, I don't like how their office hour is being set up, they don't have a specific time with office hours. They make us schedule appointments with our SI and it's annoying because the SI doesn't teach the material the same way the professor teaches it! Besides that, she is a good professor!
Professor Kalra was amazing throughout the online platform. This course is hard but she tries her best to break it down for her students. She has no problem repeating a topic if you are confused. She is a true gem and cares about her students. She wants her students to succeed. Take her! you won't regret it!!
Great professor, only allowed to be absent 4 times. If you are late too many times marks you absent. Takes the time to make sure you understand the lesson and gives you extension on homework. Just do the work and you will be fine.
Took precalc summer class. An accelerated course. I was very satisfied and learned a lot. Homeworks are definitely a bit harder than youd think. But this helps to grow and learn more about material gone over during class.I recommend her. show up/participate/hw if you want to succeed .
Professor Kalra was a great professor. I took her over the summer and despite the semester being short and the material long, she managed to fit most of it in at a reasonable pace. She requires webcams to be turned on so do take note. Take notes and listen to her when she teaches and you're guaranteed to succeed.
Very good teacher. Made a hard math curriculum much more simpler.
Great professor, just show up and pay attention and you'll do fine. She is very thorough in teaching the material but will also spend time in and outside class hours to explain something to you if you didn't understand it. Gives you opportunities to increase your grade in her class if you feel as if you're not doing as well as you should. 10/10.
This class is very easy to pass, just show up and pay attention, don't skip it. She is a great professor and is very thorough in explaining the material and will also take time outside of class to explain what you didn't understand if necessary. Very lenient with giving extensions if needed, but stay on top of your work anyway. 10/10.
She gives homework for practice after every lecture, but the homework is extended to be completed by the end of the semester. Exams were fair if you studied and pay attention during class. Participation really matters. Have to turn on camera. She will stop the class just to take the time to answer your question. overall good professor.
Professor Kalra is probably the best Math teacher. She shows you new and shorter ways to approach math. You can tell that she really cares about her students and their learning. Would definitely take her class again!
Professor Kalra is great at explaining complicated subjects and if you have questions about a problem, she goes through it step by step no matter how long it takes. She is very caring and understanding. Participation and being on top of your homework matters. I would definitely recommend her, she is a great professor. 10/10
Professor Priya is really nice and understanding! She will answer all of your questions which I really appreciated. The class is quite difficult but I really enjoyed taking the class with Professor Priya.
Had this professor online and it was a straightforward class, if you needed extra assistance, the professor and her TA were able to help you with your questions, if you were ahead of the curve, just complete the homeworks and study for the exam. The exam questions were relative to the homework and not too much more difficult.
Best professor, great at explaining complicated subjects. If you don't understand something she will make sure you do, not matter how long will that take. There are homework extensions & tests are very fair and similar to hw and class reviews. overall great professor, would definitely take her again!!!
This is an online course with three exams and a final exam. Every exam is 20% of your grade and final is 25%, hW and attendances worth 15%. The professors is great and the TA helped a lot.
Very knowledgeable and caring professor. Clear grading criteria, extremely flexible with all homework assignments. Will take the time to make sure students understand what is being taught. I would definitely take another class with professor Kalra.
Gives lots of extensions on homework, just make sure you study for the exam.
Amazing professor, often the work can be a lot and sometimes difficult but she is always available to meet and go over any questions. Definitely recommend.
A very considerate, engaging teacher who is also quite lenient with homework and is willing to give second chances.
Does a good job of helping the class understand every little step in solving a problem. Lenient with homework, gives extra time. Does reviews before every test. Hard to fail this class if you put in the work studying.
Professor kalra is one of the sweetest professors i have had at queens college. She goes step by step for all the topics and really tries to make sure all the students understands the material. She also likes to joke around which makes the class more fun! Shes very understanding and she gives extra points sometimes :)). Take her class!
I don't like math class usually, but this class was fun and I learned a lot of materials. Professor Priya was very kind and teach us effectively. I will definitely take her again for precalculus.
Very caring. Makes sure students understand material very well and is willing to explain topics over and over again. She is very clear about the material and the exams. Nothing fancy or crazy on the exams, if you do the homework and study then you are set. She is also a good grader. Take her 100% over other professors teaching Calc 141. Trust me.
Best Professor ever!! She made an extremely hard course so easy to comprehend. I finally enjoy learning the subject.
homework due every class but its easy , if u dont do them she usually extends the due date which is really nice. she cares about her students and if u dont come to class u will not do well! her tests are pretty difficult so study as much as possible!
best professor ever
She is a good person through and through, I'll give her that part. But she has little to no chill with how she teaches the formulas provided. She will give us two minutes to solve the problem, and that's not enough time for me. So when she goes over the question, she speed runs the problem and (not speaking for others) it becomes confusing.
Tough
Professor Kalra is the best!! I enjoyed her class and is finally able to understand math. Keep up with homework and come to class, you will learn a lot from her teaching. The class SI is also very useful. Exams are easy only if you attend class regularly and do homework. Review is given before each exam which is very useful.
Professor Kalra is very caring and dedicated to ensuring students understand the material. She's willing to go the extra mile to explain topics clearly. With the help of Unstuckstudy and the textbook, passing this class is quite manageable.
She's funny & paid attention to those who needed help, & accordingly adjusted her speed. She's super understanding and kindly reopens hw if u didn't submit on time. She explains content comprehensibly & I've found myself enjoying class. She also doesn't surprise on tests with smth you've never seen & drops 1/4 exam w lowest grade (excluding final).
I tried taking the same course with another professor however I found myself understanding better with Priya. She always made sure to ask and stop if we had any questions as she goes a bit fast sometimes. She also gives out homework that in the long run helps you out
show up to class
Very good professor. Math is a very difficult class to teach, and there's no way to take it without fatigue and having moments where it's hard to follow. She did her best to outline every new thing we needed to learn so that it was fair for us to execute it as well as write it down so it was applicable for exams. Very understanding one overall
This professor is very good
Attending class is definitely a must, but her teaching style is engaging so it doesn't feel as long as it is. Homework is definitely important and she's generous with late hw and grading as well. Every tests gets a review day so if you just do your part you'll be good.
Professor Kalra is awesome! They make the material easy to understand and are always willing to help. Very friendly and approachable. I highly recommend their class!

Highly recommend taking Professor Kalra. She is very approachable and will gladly answer any questions. I strongly recommend taking her!
She explained every detail amazing if you cared she cared
Overall, one of the best professors I've ever had for a subject such as this one. I have taken a pre-calc class before, and I barely understood anything. This made me worried when having to retake it. However, the way she goes through all the material and explains it amazes me. You retain absolutely everything you have learned and it becomes easier
If you want to get a good grade and truly learn the material, I recommend taking her class. She is an excellent teacher who prepares you well for each exam. She gives you four exams throughout the course, along with a final, and provides review sheets to help you study. Her guidance and preparation really set you up for success on the exams.
She cares if you are struggling in class and would have her focus on you
,.............
She goes through lessons very fast but she is very understanding if you talk to her. She does care about you and your grades but you NEED to talk to her. She's a fast teacher. She may seem a little mean but she's sweet.
She's a VERY fast teacher. Flys through lectures but will ask to make sure you got. Do not be afraid to ask questions. She is very caring but you NEED to talk to her if you are struggling she will help. Test heavy class.
This professor will make sure you understand the subject. Homework assignment weren't too heavy but they were there. There were multiple exams and your lowest score drops so shows mercy towards students! She allows for questions within the class at any point after.
She is very understanding but tough, you will have 8 questions per exam making it very easy to get a bad grade. Talk to her about it always, check over the exam and make sure to get the maximum points back.
Although she goes a little too quickly in her lectures, be sure to ask questions you don't understand because she will be able to explain the steps. If you still don't understand, ask her after class for more clarification! Other than that she's a pretty good professor!
Prof Kalra cares for your grade and your understanding of the material, even though she may go a little fast in class. She always helps you out if you ask her to. I enjoyed this class. Attendance matters make you are on time in her class. Overall she's a really good professor.
Professor Kalra cares about your success for this course. There are usually no quizzes so you're grade is mostly made up of your exam grades. You'll be assigned WebAssign homework due before each class. Get ready to notetake, but keep up with the pace so you don't get left behind. Awesome professor 💯

Overall a good professor.
I wish she was teaching Pre Calc in the Fall. She makes the concept easy to understand, and gives a review sheet before every test. The class is test heavy (5 tests; drops the lowest exam grade), and make up the majority of ur grade (80%), but as long as you pay attention in class and study, it's an easy A.
Took this professor last spring I thought she was very good but really she just rushes through every single class goes as fast as she can, i got at least a 70 on every test and she failed me for some reason, emailed her asked her why I never got a response now retaking and I'm getting 100 every math testnow,she wasted my time and money didnt helpme
I have learnt a lot from Professor Kalra. She teaches the course tho
I have learnt a lot from Professor Kalra. She teaches the course thoroughly, 3 exams and final, review before each exam, attendance is mandatory in her classroom(she will penalize over 4 absences), homework's due each class, Easy to talk to and learn the material very well. I appreciate her so much in my 122 class now. Take her, she's the best!!
