Professor Baradwaj is definitely worth a try. My older brother, who is good with Math, found her Indian accent to be an obstacle. Contrastingly, I did not. She is always open to questions, (good sense of humor) and I frequently asked them in class, emails and in her office. She does not have unreasonable expectations for this level of Math.

I thought the class was easy as long as you go to class and actually study the notes she gives in lecture. If you can understand the process by which the problems are solved then you can pretty much solve all of the homework problems that she assigns. This is for people who have a strong math background.

While the material was hard, I found her to be helpful. While I'm female, I'm definitely not Indian, and a girl who looked to be from that area sitting near me failed the class. I don't find her **** at all, and think that she'd help anyone who makes an effort to understand the material.

She is a nice teacher who can teach. However she is very hard to understand and her classes aren't so interesting

If you go to class and read the book every once in a while you should be fine. I never found her accent to be a problem. However, do not take this class if you are bad at math and do not want to devote at least a small amount of time reading the text. Overall, a great teacher.

If you put in an effort she's more than willing to help. She wants to see you succeed. It's really helpful to have a strong math background or you might struggle. She's sweet but quirky.

The test is tough but if you do the assignments she gives you and work hard in that class, you will succeed. She may seem mean but she really wants to help you and wants you to succeed. If you ask her for help, she is more than willing to do so, unless you just ask stupid questions, like a lot of the ppl in her class does.

She goes really fast. Better write quickly because you'll need class notes more than the book to study for quizzes & exams. She gives ample time for review b4 exams and will answer questions. If you come to class regularly, and show effort, I think she takes that into consideration when grading. So if you fail, your fault really.

Only students who expect a free ride bcuz of all the grade-curving at UMBC wouldn't like her. She goes really fast but if you copy evrythng she writes, ur notes r more helpful than txtbk on exams & quizzes. She gives ample exam review. Good & fair professor, u just have to come to class and study. If u fail, ur fault.

She is a great teacher and knows her stuff. She is very helpful if you go in during office hours, you'll understand completely. Her accent is a bit different but you get used to it. Exams aren't that bad, neither are the quizes. People who complain, prob sleep thru class, because it is a little early in the morning. If you listen, you'll get an A

Great teacher. I would highly recommend.

I'm terrible at math, so it was a hard class for me. I loved Raji though, I thought she explained everything perfectly and I was never completely lost. She expects you to put effort and with effort you could get an A. I never used the book and just attended lectures. She gives you reviews and if you do those, you'll be fine for exams.

One of the best math teachers here in UMBC (in my opinion). If you go to class, take notes, pay attention, do the homework, and do the review problems your almost guaranteed an A in her class. Her exams aren't that hard as long as you do all the stuff mention above, plus she writes the final exam for all the MATH 350 classes.

One of the best math professors I've ever had, and I normally hate math! Just be prepared to take good notes. She was always clear on what she expected you to learn. Her exam study guides almost always look just like her exams, so study those and you'll be fine. I used to struggle in math in HS and I passed her class with flying colors!

as long as you go to class each day, she's a good clear teacher and you should do fine.

I'm a music major, and this was a great class! Prof Baradwaj knows her material and teaches in a very logical manner. She expects her students to work hard for a good grade. She was always willing to answer a question when I needed help. Actually, she expects questions--especially at review sessions. I highly recommend her! I learned alot!

She is the best teacher of all times! You have to come to class. There is no ****ting with her. Just come and listen to lecture. She is extremely intelligent so don't expect to get away from not studying and LEARNING.

Pay attention and attend class and you will do fine. She has a great memory and will memorize all 150 plus students. also, her tests use a lot of questions from class and her reviews.

I only had this class once a week so this class was awesome. There is no textbook required but we had to buy this online access code for Aleks. Aleks was very fun and helpful. Baradwaj is very hopeful and she wants her students to succeed. Im taking her for Math 150 spring 2010 so hopefully she is an excellent professor in this course

She's pretty funny. Her loud, squawky voice is comical. She goes really fast during lecture so it's advisable that you review the sections before coming to class. Attendance isn't mandatory but it's very helpful. SUPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS IS AWESOME!! Helped alot. Just do well on the quizes, exams, and do the homeworks and you're set.

GO TO CLASS!!!

best teacher ever!!!

She is a great math professor, she knows her material, but her major problem is that when you ask a question she chastises you for it and will make you feel stupid. She tends to speed through the material and expects you to memorize absolutely EVERY detail, when you ask her to slow down she will typically ignore your request and make you feel dumb.

I Raji for Math 106 and Math 150 and she was whole another person in Math 150, I guess because in Math 106, I only had her one day a week versus 3 days in Math 150. Shes a great professor. Just come to class and take notes and you will be fine.

Fantastic professor!As long as you pay attention and take some notes, you'll do fine.

One of the easy Indian math teachers i know.... i only took notes on 4 sections/chapters and still got a B to a B+ .... SLEEPing in CLASS will not get you an A.... lol

Everyone complains saying her exams are hard. They're pretty tricky but if you studied and you do her recommended problems you'll get at least a B. Her last exam (3rd exam) was EXTREMELY hard which kind of screwed me over but her quizzes are SO easy. She's a great teacher overall. Just don't ask stupid questions and come to class.

Ms. Raji was a great professor for calc. As long as you take notes and follow along, you will do fine. Make sure to do all the homework before the exams because she will give problems very similar to those. The TAs can be pretty help and if you have any problems, go see Ms. Raji in her office. She is very friendly and will make sure you understand.

Good class, crappy TA, dont take it at 8 am. She can be funny too

GO TO CLASS. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. You will do just fine. She is fast. She cares ALOT if you do. Office always open. She's an AMAZING math teacher. VERY INTELLIGENT. A QUICK MIND. She's the best if you want to learn and if you want a challenge. She is available for supplemental instruction. You just have to go. Put in the time & you'll do fine

Raji is a great professor. Go to class and do your homework, and you'll do well. Her accent is not as bad as everyone thinks

I actually thought Baradwaj was an awesome calculus professor; she's straightforward, gives tons of examples and grades pretty fairly. I don't why the people below are bashing her on her teaching skills. She does care about her students' grades and offers her help if you need it. Some people have trouble with her accent but you'll get used to it.

Don't listen to the bad comments. As long as you do the review packets she gives you, go to the tutoring center, and show her that you ARE there to learn and not slack off, you'll do fine.

I retook her class and the first time she was unclear, unhelpful and seemed angry all the time. Next semester she was much sweeter, willing to help and easier to understand. She does tend to move very quickly, however, but will slow down if someone lets her know she's going too fast.

Awesome professor! If you're a very good note-taker, and you show her that you care, you'll get an easy A. She loves students who go to her office hours and show that they want to improve their grades. Also, rewrite your notes! This is very helpful! Almsot all her exam questions come straight from notes!

Overall she is not a bad teacher at all. She can go a little bit fast at times but she will stop and help if you ask questions. Also, make sure you take notes!

She is a great teacher. One thing that really made me mad was the fact that people thought she was a bad professor when those people just didn't study. If she seems hard and fast at times, make sure you ask a questions. But the good thing is that she will prepare you for calculus. If she made the class easy, I can guarantee you would fail calculus

She is an awesome teacher. There are many people in the class who complain about tests and how she teaches--they also don't ever come to class and probably never study. If you do the homework (which isn't that much), come to class, and MAKE SURE SHE KNOWS WHO YOU ARE, you'll most likely get an A. I sucked at math before college, but managed an A!

Good course, and easy. I appreciated the application of Pre-Calc to real world problems. 4 quizzes dropped, and each exam and quiz had bonus points built in them. The final exam was easy too. As long as you do work you will get an A. Raji is a great professor.

She is a really good teacher. Yes, she goes quickly, but she prepares you really well for math 151. As long as you do the homework problems and the practice she posts, you will do well. If you have a problem, go to her! She really does help. Sit in the front too and make sure she knows who you are.

I recommend having taken a Precalculus class before; this class goes at a fast pace! She's clear, but doesn't always complete problems in class. If you have any questions, go to her office hours! She is eager to help if you put forth effort. Wouldn't buy book-barely used and an online version is included with webassign. Don't use cell in class!

Gives a lot of homework but she is incredibly helpful. She really cares about each and every student and wants everyone to learn. Does a good job of making a large lecture hall feel like a small classroom. Tests are fair, but make sure you study there is a lot of material on them. Best math teacher I've ever had.

Great teacher. Always available for help. I suck at math, but if you pay attention you will be fine.

I'm currently in Raji's MATH 151 class, and I love it! She just makes sense when she teaches and she really cares about her students.

I'm currently taking Raji's math 150 class (precalculus). Although she teaches at a fast pace, she is a very thorough professor. If you attend every class and take good notes you'll do fine. The tests require quite a bit of studying, but her teaching style forces you to understand the concepts rather than just memorize them. Great professor.

she's really good and cares a lot about her students.

I went into this class a little nervous based off the reviews seen off this site, but honestly Raji is a sweetheart. She was never unreasonable when grading, always explained concepts and problems thoroughly, and provided plenty of help if need. She's funny and while she does move quick, it's manageable.

151 is super fast paced. If your not naturally good at math, try taking a lower math because I had to drop the class mid semester because I knew I wouldn't pass. She is approachable for help though and very nice.

One of the most intelligent and best teachers I have ever had the privilege to learn from. If you don't put in the work you are toast but then again, you should know that going into college.

If you do the work and pay attention, you can get an A. She's really funny. The exams were like the old ones. Practice them! People who are rating her down probably didn't put in the work. Hard class, but if you study/work hard you can get over 100% on some exams.

This class is fast paced, but is manageable. As long as you put time in the class you'll be fine. She does detailed examples and answer any questions during lecture. It's good to rewrite your lecture notes though, b/c they'll get sloppy very fast. Tests are fair, make sure you do the review sheet she posts up. She has a mild Indian accent though.

Does not want anyone to fail so she'll always be available to help and assist with any issues. Fair grader and will help you pass the class. The last thing she likes to see is a student fail

Very hard course, try to avoid. A lot of work must be done in the class, including online work. Teacher is overall not bad, though many people dislike her. Yet she teaches the class well and expects a lot from her students.

Precalc is a hard subject, Actually in UMBC its the highest failed class. Personally, you should go to each and every lecture and importantly DO THE HOMEWORK like a week in advance, if you don't understand anything the professor is saying, i can say that if you do the homework you will be able to understand it. Raji explains everything well too

Raji is a wonderful professor, anyone who says otherwise needs to brush up on their math. She is always wiling to help her students. Her tests are fair game. You will learn a lot from her PERIOD.

Not bad, but not easy. I'm terrible at math and I got by with a C, I think she's a good teacher. If you're bad at math, I recommend this teacher, but you have to stay focused, and you have to want to be better at math etc.

this lady is hilarious. very spunky. very helpful if you're willing to seek it out. some people may think she teaches fast, i but felt that her pace was just fine.

I suck at math. Raji understands that some people get math and some people don't. However, she's gonna make you work regardless. Go to her office hours, raise your hand in class if you don't understand something. She roots for her students to pass. If you try, you will pass.

She is a tough professor; HOWEVER, she does take the time to do practice problems in class which are VERY helpful. She also puts practice problems online before the exams and if you study that then you should be fine. The people that do bad in this class are the ones that don't look at the practice problems online.

I came from high school with Calc AB experience and was able to get through very easily , she is nit-picky and you MUST show steps in all work. She goes through lessons at a quick pace and they can go overtime by a few minutes, but she'll post notes online. Class isn't mandatory, there is group work. She drops a bit of everything except tests.

I thought she was a pretty cool prof, she'll help you when you need it-she just doesn't like slackers. She gives you a bunch of extra credit if you go to the math gym & do some math problems. There are 2 group projects but they're not that bad and actually can help your grade as long as you put in effort. Lectures aren't mandatory but they do help

Don't listen to people who say she is a bad teacher or mean. If you actually do your work, pay attention and are respectful, she'll be nice to you. She will sass you if you are stupid. Do not be too imitated to ask for help, she WILL help you and loves you to come to her and say you found a mistake in her practice tests. But the are a little messy

I love Raji. A lot of people don't because of her accent, or how she may appear "sassy" because they don't utilize her office hours or math tutorial centers, but instead approach her the final week of classes asking for help with their grade. If she knows you, and knows you participate well, she will (and wants to) help you! GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS!

don't sleep in her class or you don't get an A... 89.5% lol

Raji encourages you to pay attention and she always tells you what you need to know beforehand.

My first enjoyable math course

She was very helpful and funny. Doesn't allow electronics.

Raji is very poorly rated mainly because of her accent and the fact that she doesn't take crap from anybody. The thing that most people don't take into consideration is that she grades very fairly. Her classes have many opportunities for extra credit and there are very often options to drop bad homeworks and quizzes.

I LOVED RAJI, amazing professor, very straightforward but not easy. Come to class, sit in the front and pay attention and you're sure to pass. Make sure she knows you, stop by office hours :) her sarcasm is to die for.

ALEKS is an essential part of this class. Don't slack off. Raji is available whenever you need her and super sweet.

I didn't like her teaching style at first, but she grew on me. Her lectures are fine. Go through the book and do exercise problem. Brush up on the algrebra if you need to because you'll need it. Discussion with Maria (Teaching Assistant) was wonderful.

Didn't really enjoy the class but it was very east. I didn't do a whole lot of work and still came out with a C. If u put in the effort you will definitely get an A

Raji is one of the best professors I've ever had. She actually cares about her students passing but also actually understanding the course material. I took her during a 6 week summer session and it was hard work but I've learned alot. I would definitely take her again and I plan to for the next level of math.

This class is awesome and I loved Raji, she is very caring. I also had a great background in math, so it was easier for me. I think the language and culture barrier is the cause but there were times when she would say one thing, then jump to the next step and everyone was confused because she didn't take time to explain how she got there.

I quite liked taking the course with her. She gave you many opportunities for extra credit, and even though she has a no-nonsense approach to teaching, she was always willing to help and treated you with respect if you approached her for questions.

She's a wonderful professor and is really nice to students who show effort in her classes. Exams and quizzes are much harder than lecture and homework, so make sure you understand core concepts or you won't pass.

Shes a good professor. I'm not very good at math but I got an A in this course which says a lot. She genuinely cares about her students and wants everyone to do well. Getting an A is definitely not easy but if you do the homework and read the text you should be fine. (You DEFINITELY need to know and have a good bases on algebra before starting)

Attendance isn't counted for lecture, but the class moves fast and her notes can be difficult to read, so lecture is encouraged. The book is supplemental, but sometimes she strays from it, so try to keep up with her and use the book primarily if you can't figure out a homework problem. She responds to email pretty quickly. Go to SI sessions.

If you show up to lectures (which you should as they are helpful), pay attention, and do the homework, it really isn't that hard. Math is a struggle for me and I got a solid B with her. She's comes off stern at first but she's funny lady and she knows what she's doing. Don't be afraid to ask for help because she's more than happy to.

Raji truly cares about her students, perhaps this was one of the reasons I was successful in her class. If you need any help you can come to her office hours or email her. This class dose require you to put in effort and practice practice practice, but she is there if you need her. I truly loved having her as a teacher, she wants you to succeed.

She is very accesible and caring.

She is one of the best professors at UMBC. That's all I have to say.

Professor Raji may be slow to warm up to, but it doesn't take very long to realize that she cares about her students and legitimately wants them to be successful. She doesn't put trick questions on her exams, and if you go to office hours she'll spend as much time as needed to help you with homework and other questions from the class. She's great!

Homework assignments usually consist of 12-15 questions per chapter to make sure that the student has mastered the material. I implore you, GO TO CLASS! Most of the students who fail the class are failing simply because they don't show up. She thoroughly explains the materials in class and answers any and all questions. LABS ARE A MUST DO.

Raji is a good teacher, but is no-nonsense. Do not even think about using your phone in class, she will get very angry and probably throw you out. Her accent makes it a little tough to understand, but she is ok clarifying words for you. Class itself is a cakewalk. Pay attention & do the online stuff and you'll pass. Don't be late.

Raji was a good professor. She won't give you an easy A, but if you try and she knows your face, she'll help you out and may bump up your grade. A lot of quizzes come straight from lecture notes or the homework so pay attention to examples/questions. Also, if you're struggling with a topic, go to office hours and she'll basically give you answers.

I took Prof. Raji for MATH150. By far the best math professor on campus. Anyone else who says otherwise, is simply not putting in the effort, or upset they didn't get a good grade. One generally infers the other. She teaches things concisely, and is very clear what she expects from her students. Definitely prepares you for calc I and calc II.

Honestly the best professor at UMBC. she cares so much about her students

Amazing teacher who cares about you, I was going through tough times during her class and she was so helpful. Would take again, gives lot of homework but it's for your own good and you'll understand the topics once you complete them, gives extra credit

She will put her time and energy into you if she sees you do the same with the work. I really really respect her. She is intimidating but she is very genuine as well. I have been struggling with the work and she went out of her way to help me. I hate that i'm getting a B, but she is a wonderful professor and i would recommend her to anyone.

Raji is tough and initially I did not care for her, but she showed that she really cared. She can be blunt at times but she only acts so because she wants everyone to do well. She is also a good teacher. Math is hard for me, but if you put in the effort you will do well. Go to her office hours and ask for help/clarification.

Raji is an awesome teacher and will help you outside of class. Go to her office hours it helps a lot . If you skip class you're only hurting yourself. I did take AP Calc in high school so the class was over material I knew but also more. Not sure how hard the material wold be for those learning the 1st time.

Raji is tough, but definitely a solid choice for a math professor. If you show to class and do your work, youll pass. If you dont show up to class and go to ask for help, shell send you right away. She will bend over backwards for students who try their best, you just have to put in the work. There are lots of opportunities to pass this class.

To be honest, I only really appreciated Raji after I had the displeasure of taking other Math professors' classes at UMBC. Raji is a very solid professor, and compared to others, she's even excellent. She'll make you work for your grade, but if you try hard, and act respectfully, she'll work with you and you'll do well.

AWESOME!! Hard work -but it pays off!! go to lectures and office hours and she will boost your grade.

Professor Raji seems like a tough professor, and she is. But if you show up to class and are respectful, she is so nice. She is helpful, caring and accessible outside class. She posts her lecture notes online for students.

I thought Professor Baradwaj was great. She cares about her students, but does not play favorites and will treat you fairly regardless of your grade. Her class is challenging, so make sure you try hard and ask questions. She responds to emails quickly which was awesome. Expectations and policies are clear from the start. Would highly recommend!

A lot of people might give her a bad rating but, if you get on her good side, she is absolutely amazing. Participate, in her class, if you can(not mandatory), go to office hours. Email her if you don't understand. In general, she loves when students reach out to her. If she know you, and you need 1 point for an A or B hey... she will give it to you

Raji is a very underrated professor. While she is very difficult, she teaches the content extremely well. If you need help, go to her office hours. You will not forget anything you learn in this class. She is an extremely caring person and wants every student in her class to succeed.

Took her class over the summer and it was great! She is super caring and accessible outside of the class, so definitely go to office hours, even to say hi! She might go fast in some problems but going over her notes (she uploads them after class) helps a lot. She tends to put problems from her notes in quizzes /exams so that's a great study trick!

Professor Raji is a real gem, alright. Sometimes she spends half the lectures telling us how we are not doing as well as she expected and will drill us on what she wants. And the times she does teach, she rushes through it and then says that half of us will be confused. But she's extremely generous with grading and basically, you CANNOT fail.

At first she'll come off as scary. But have faith in the fact that she wants the best for you. She has a crazy memory and will know what students did what in a lecture hall of 150 students. She is great at math and the two times I went to see her she smiled as she helped. Class will require some work but resources are provided. Class is fast paced!

Hilarious. Dont ask questions about basic math or you will get flamed, but honestly for good reason. Super caring in office hours.

I had the privilege of taking Professor Raji's math 150 course this past fall. Honestly, at first glance, she may seem very intense but she is actually a very kind and caring person who wants to see her students strive. I recommend going to office hours because you get to understand the content and know her more as a person.

If you took pre-calc in high school and did well, this class will be fairly easy for you. If this is your first time taking pre-calc, this might be a little difficult, but not too bad. Raji shows a lot of different examples and gives you lots of practice(discussion, seminar, lecture, HW), so as long as you follow along, it's hard to do poorly.

Raji is now my favorite math teacher, including my time in high school. I took Pre-Calc, Calc 1&2, in high school and averaged to a C in each class. Taking her class Fall semester, I started struggling. My advice: don't be afraid to ask questions; form a study group. Go to her office hours! Don't be intimidated. That's how I went from a C to a B.

Raji is great. What's with all the hate. Put in the work for her class. Show up, don't use your phone, try, do the homework, go to her office hours, study, and make an effort! You'll get an A. She cares a lot about your success in her class. If you don't try she won't make you try. If you want her to care, make sure you care.

I love her! She's my favorite because of the amazing advice that she gives. She is super nice if you try and actually get to know her. Make sure to go to office hours for help if you're struggling--this really helped me a lot. She is amazing at making herself clar.

Wonderful teacher! I love her and was glad to start UMBC with her as one of my first profs. She's tough and caring at the same time and always enjoys her students, even if she may be hard on you its because she wants the best out of you truly! I don't know if I could've ever passed if not by God's grace and the help Prof Raji gave every da in class

Professor Raji was a good teacher but sometimes her attitude can get in the way of communicating with students. She explained the work we had to do fairly well and the ALEKS work was super helpful. Just take notes, watch the videos, and do the ALEKS, the work will eventually become easier to understand.

Quality professor. Passionate about her course. Class is fast paced. ALEKS is helpful. You have to do alot of studying on your own to understand the content and pass the quizzes and tests. You have to put in time and effort

Raji may not be everyone's favorite prof, but if you go to her office hours to do her homework she will be. She cares about her students like they're her own kids, but she doesn't put up with anything.

People really underestimate how much she really cares about our class. I really like professor Raji. Yeah, the class is not one you can sleep through, but she drops homework and there are lots of chances in the class to bring your grade up and get an A.

She is tough and very firm, but she is also super kind when you show her that you want to learn and get a good grade in her class! GO TO HER OFFICE HRS! And be respectful (not playing on you phone during lecture). She moves FAST but it's totally doable.

Speeds through lessons but she puts up videos if you don't understand. Funny teacher. Many opportunities to pull up your grade, you just have to pay attention.

I'd say this is a difficult class but prof. Raji is a good professor. She cares about her students and always asked us how our weekend was. She doesn't like computers. She curves almost everything. If you need extra help she tries to make office hours as accessible as possible. The textbook isn't necessary but it can be helpful.

Professor Baradwaj may sound rude in the first few lectures, but she's actually sweet. Lectures are pretty fast paced so make sure to attend office hours after class everyday. They help a lot. Drops 3 of lowest hw/classwork scores. Final exam grade is replaced with the lowest of your 2 exam scores if you get a certain grade higher. Good luck.

She might seem intimidating at first. But shes actually a very caring person and truly wants a student to get A. She drops 3 lowest hws and 3 lowest quizzes. You have 3 exams. The quizzes are all based on the hws, the tests are all based on the study guides and hws. As long as you do the hws and review them for the quizzes youll be more then fine

Professor Baradwaj wants you to do well in the class and doesn't want to hear excuses. Homework, worksheets, pre-req are easy points. Make sure you do the study guide and homework because she pulls questions straight from there. Show up to the lecture because it is extremely helpful. It is a lot of work but manageable.

had her for 106 and 150. attendance is mandatory but u can skip a handful of classes and it wont affect ur grade a lot. main thing is taking notes and doing practice problems constantly, and ur set for quizzes and tests. drops a bunch of low scores. final exam can replace low test score. never attended the SI and office hours, but help is there.

Dr. Baradwaj's lectures are very good. She will go over all types of problems in class to the point where you might not have to do practice problems during your own time. There are quizzes every week, but is pretty easy. Very strict and not approachable. She will help you, but most likely yell at you first.

Everyone hates her but as long as you keep your mask on, stay off your phone, and pay attention, she will literally love you. She only berates those who break the rules and argue with her about it. Quizzes are LITERALLY homework and class problems. Has short pre-lecture videos and amazing study guides which is 100% the test. No surprises at all.

Professor Raji is a amazing teacher, she might seem like shes mean but she cares deeply about her students success. Always go to her office hours, she helps you in the parts your struggling with and encourages you to do better. Her lectures and homeworks are very easy if you pay attention and ask questions. I would highly recommend to take.

Prof Raji is a excellent teacher for math, i've had her for 106 and 150. She gives very good lecture videos that you can easily follow along with. Her office hours are the most helpful because she helps you one on one with anything that your confused on. The tests are off the homeworks and quizzes so i would focus on those.

I've taken Professor Raji for both 106 and 150, she is excellent on her teaching styles. She might come off as tough but if you go to her office hours and one on one, you have more help there than the classroom. Always look over quizzes, she uses those for the final tests and most questions are similar.

Raji can come off as abrasive sometimes but she really does care about all her students and wants everyone to pass. I loved her lecture style and she never makes the exams unfair. Don't be on your phone during class or cheat on exams/quizzes because she will find out and she WILL fail you.

Professor Raji comes off as very strict but she's truly very nice and caring. She's like every foreign mom, yes she'll raise her tone at you but for good reasons. She knows all her students are very capable. Her class structure is very clear, her lectures are very neat and organized. Please go to her office during hours its worth it. :)

Please give Raji a chance despite some of these reviews. She truly cares about her students and their success. Make the effort to attend office hours and get help early in the semester. She will go above and beyond to help you. This is not a easy pass class, you do have to work for it but take advantage of getting help as much as you can.

Study Guides: She posts study questions. Go to her directly for the answers (show work/effort) cus they often directly match questions on the test Effort: The class is hard but when you show that you care she will put in the time and effort to coach you through it. She expects a lot from her students. Those who dont like her are used to BS-ing

She's like a foreign mother when she teaches, she's harsh but she's only that way because she wants you to succeed. Ultimately, if you don't study or don't participate in class, don't be surprised when your grade doesn't turn out the way that you want it to.

Prof. Raji was great! I was in AP Calc AB in high-school, so it was a bit easier for me to understand the topics. However, people in the class that didn't have a background in this topic were constantly confused. You have to teach yourself a lot. However, the tests are extremely fair. The study guides are almost exactly like the tests.

Tough but fair, can come across as harsh sometimes during lectures but genuinely cares about seeing her students succeed. Very kind when I asked her one on one questions and makes sure you understand the concepts.

Raji was great! A lot of people complaining about her are the people who weren't willing to put in the work outside of class. This is college. Professors don't just give you all the answers. They give you resources to study on your own time. She even provided videos that literally NO ONE used and they were so helpful.

Professor Raji is awesome, ignore almost all of the negative reviews she has. I have had her two semesters in a row, and I have never had a professor that is as helpful as her. Her lectures can be tough, just because she has to get through so much material in a short time. She is available in her office hours, and even meets students via webex.

she's very nice. she obviosuly cares for students. quizzes were kind of hard but the tests are just like her study guides. she pulls questions out of the study guide and pastes them into the test. love her for that. so sad to see her leave this semester:(

This class is very easy if you self-learn the material. The quizzes are very few questions directly from what you are learning, and there are many opportunities to drop the lowest grades on many assignments.
