At first Gupta was super confusing & I almost dropped the class bcs I couldnt understand anything she taught & your grade relays fully on tests. HOWEVER, the study guides are WONDERFUL! Honestly I would only watch her class for examples & then i would study the study guides before exams & got above 90 on all the exams
In the middle of our semester, we had to get a book that was not needed. Most test/quiz questions and answers are on Quizlet or Chegg. I did not watch the videos, just taught myself, and ended with an A. Sometimes questions can be wrong, just let her know. She's not too bad, this was her first time teaching us so it was a bit disorganized.
Such a sweet professor and truly cares if students understand the material. Tests are very straight forward and she will never try to trick you. If you ever need her to go over something again she is always happy to. Great teacher and so kind.
EASY A!! TAKE THE COURSE IF YOU WANT A HIGHER GPA!! Lecture isn't so amazing, BUT test is EXTREMELY easy. Never been to class for half of the semester and get a 100% on exam 2 ONLY by reviewing slides and study guide for ONE NIGHT. HW is SUPER easy and have unlimited chance to try. Btw, Exam consist almost 1/5 of SAME QUESTION from the study guide!
She has no idea whats going on. Oblivious to zoom calls and how canvas works. Her study guide is exactly the same has roughly 80% of the tests. You have 2 exams and then a final. I didnt go to class and taught myself and made an easy A.
Hard to understand but she really wants you to succeed
Ms. Gupta is the best choice you will have for Analytics 2. She understands that most of the people in this class only need to understand the basics of the material, so she makes the assignments and test super straight forward. I made an A on every test with minimal effort but still learned the material. She is also very nice and helpful one on one
Professor Gupta teaches Business Analytics in a very easy way. If you just look at the study guide and homework problems before exams you should make an easy A on the exams. You have multiple attempts on the homework and it is mostly easy to do. Pretty stress-free class, I did not go to class once really and made an A pretty easily.
Take her if you want an easy A. She doesn't really know how to work zoom and she is hard to understand, but she is accessible outside of class and explains things pretty well. She gives you all the material in order to do well. I recommend taking her!
Took her for both Business Analytics 1 & 2. Easiest class you will take if you take her. She is hard to understand, but gives you all the material to succeed and make an A. I would take her!
I'm not even really sure what to say here. She's not easy to understand at all. This class should be easy but I legitimately could not catch anything she was saying all semester. It was like she was talking to herself throughout the lectures. That being said, there's quizzes for each chapter and 2 exams and a final. She also uploads recordings.
I took her for 2600 and 2650, she makes sure you understand everything. I wish she teaches more classes .
Mrs. Gupta is a great professor, but goes through lectures very fast. Her tests are pretty easy and always gives extra credit after every exam. Quizzes are super easy and helps your grade if you didn't do well on a test.
Ms. Gupta wants you to succeed. She is always available and wants you to understand the material. Best professor!!!!
Dr. Gupta cares about students. I learned so much in her two classes.
Explains everything extremely well! I am taking her for Analytics 2 next semester! She is very understanding, gives study guides, and explains everything in a simple manner.
I took Gupta for 2600 and 2650 and was glad I did. Very easy class, she does a good job of explaining things if you pay attention, tests are easy, she gives study guides which are a lot of help.
She is the best teacher for BUAL 2600 and 2650. She explains difficult material in a simple way and makes things very interesting.
She is an amazing professor. Very sweet lady who is very understanding. She gives out extra credit to help with your grade. I will say, be ready to self teach a little, but it is not bad at all
Awesome professor!!! love her
Explains everything really well. Pay attention in class
She is a nice lady but I couldn't decipher her powerpoints. Her tests are much harder than the material given.
Dr. Gupta's are exams are easy if you pay attention in class and read the book. She also gives study guide which is very helpful. I am also taking her for 2650.
Don't get me wrong, Professor Gupta is a very sweet lady. With that being said, this class sucks. The material is very difficult to understand both in person and on her power points. Her tests and material don't always line up. Quizzes are very easy and there are opportunities for extra credit. but at least she holds zooms. good luck!
Gupta was a great option for the class. Attendance isn't mandatory, she uploads all the slides and records all the lectures, and sends out a study guide for every exam. I didn't find the material to be too difficult, but she does explain it well if you need it, so I would definitely recommend her for this class.
Take her!! She is very understanding and gracious when it comes to tests and quizzes. She is AMAZING! This is my second time taking her and she has yet to disappoint.
she is very nice professor. she says " the final score is higher than test score, she will put your final score to grade book then instead test score." take her class.
While i don't love her teaching style, Gupta understands that most of us are in this class because of a requirement. Her tests are pretty easy, and she definitely helps a lot with your final grade. The class is mainly graded on 3 tests but there are a few mini assignments here and there.
Easy and learn a good amount. I would advise taking her if you get the opportunity.
her grade rubic is very nice. And her class and test is very easy. If you work hard in her class then you can get A.
Dr. Gupta is really nice and teaches excellent. She is very caring and ready to help
I had her last semester and taking her again for 2650.
Gupta is an amazing professor! Tests are straight from the lectures and material. Do the extra credit!!! Quizzes are very straight forward
Dr. Gupta is nice and caring
Exams are from lectures. To do better pay attention to lectures
I'm not gonna pretend I understand any content related to this class, but her class is very easy. She gives you the option to take her tests in person or on proctoru as well as attend class or watch lecture recordings on zoom
She is caring and nice. Explains everything very well.
Gives you the option to attend class in person or on zoom and take exams in person or online. Exams are exactly like study guide and hmwk quizzes. Easy to follow and explains things clearly.
I love Professor Gupta! She makes things as easy as possible and goes over the content with tons of practice problems. She asks us when we want to take tests. You can choose to go to class or watch Zoom recordings. You can also take the tests online with ProctorU. She is a great teacher for this class and I would highly recommend!
Dr. Gupta cares about students. She wants students to be good in excel. Her exams are easy if you go through her lectures. highly recommended!!!!
Don't have to go to class she posts online lectures!
I have no clue whatsoever what is going on in that class. Gupta doesn't even know what is going on. Never been to class and never watched a recording of the class and have an A. If you study the study guide an hour max before each test you will be fine. Gupta is very caring and loves to help if you have questions though. Very nice lady!
Dr. Gupta teaches very nicely. She is caring and available to help. I have learned so much and in easiest manner.
I have learned excel and got internship based on this course. Ms. Gupta knows what it takes for internships. Highly recommend if you want to learn.
I took Ms. Gupta in person; however, attendance is not mandatory and she posts the lectures to zoom. Overall pretty easy class as long as you do the assignments. Test 1 is easier than test 2 so make sure to study for that one. But a very lenient and caring teacher understands this class is required for business majors.
Professor Gupta explains content thoroughly. She give plenty of opportunities for extra credit. The tests are easy as long as you have studied and pay attention. I highly recommend her!
She makes sure students understand the material very well. She also teaches excel. For exams, pay attention in class. Gives flexibility
Easy class. Study the PowerPoints she provides before the tests and you will make an easy A. (not much of a reason to go to class if you do that) She reads straight off of the slides so it's pretty easy to study. Nice person, great class.
She is the best.
I had Ms Gupta for 2600 and taking her for 2650. He makes tough material easy to understand. Love her style of teaching,
Best advice I could give is take the exams in person, especially the final. Her class should be a stress-free A unless you really do a good job slacking off and even then, the final was not difficult and could be worth 50% of your grade since it replaces your lowest exam
As long as you pay attention in class, A is guaranteed
Shows lots of caring and ready to help.
Overall a great teacher, was really nice and wants her students to succeed. Can be difficult to understand at times, but luckily with math you can sort of back step the problem and figure it out. Do the homework!
Very cool professor. She is best
Best teacher
Caring and provides good feedback
She does not teach very well, basically reads from the textbook and slides and is hard to follow along, so classes are rough to sit through. She's super lenient with tests and usually it's all multiple choice and then she'll curve it based on how the class did. Least favorite class but good grade.
Dr. Gupta is fantastic, and she teaches the way students understand. Took her for both BUAL classes.
Ms. Gupta makes her class as easy as possible, and understands that most students are simply there for a prerequisite. She lets you choose to attend class in person or on zoom, and uploads the zoom meetings to canvas. She is very flexible and does her best to help students succeed. Only 1 homework per chapter and 2 exams plus a final.
Super easy class, you can basically take it online or in person with how the lectures and exams are set up online or in person. She goes through the powerpoint explaining every problem- it's easy to follow and exams are super easy.
Ms. Gupta is very caring. She teaches excel which helped me getting internship. Highly recommended.
She is the best for best for BUAL 2600 and 2650.
Professor Gupta is amazing. She cares about her students and tries to make the content as easy as possible to understand for her students. Attendance is optional and she curves a lot. She provides tons of examples and genuinely wants her students to succeed. Definitely take her course if you can.
Attendance isn't mandatory and she posts the notes on Canvas. Tests and quizzes are all easy and can be taken from home. Get Gupta for business analytics over any other teacher
Ms. Gupta is awesome. She wants her students to succeed and gives them every opportunity to do so. Homework for her class is not burdensome, and she gives many extra credit opportunities. If you are required to take Business Analytics I or II, take Ms. Gupta's class.
If you ever have the chance to take a class with Professor Gupta, you MUST take her. She is a great professor and most of all she understands that this class is just a business pre-req for most. She is very fair with grading exams and values student feedback. Class is 1 easy canvas assignment each week, 2 exams, and the final.
grade is made up of 10 homework assignments and 3 test. the final replaces your lowest of the other two test grades. ms. guptas lectures are easy to understand and you can watch them from home on zoom if you want to! highly recommend!
Best auburn professor
She's hilarious with a golden heart!!! highly recommended.
Good professor, you will understand the material very well.
This was an in-person class that she allowed you to choose to do via Zoom if you wanted. The makeup of the grades is a quiz for each chapter which is super easy and 2 exams and a final that can replace your lowest exam score if higher. If you attend class and follow along through PowerPoint this will be a breeze.
Professor Gupta is a joy to have as a teacher. You can tell she genuinely wants her students to succeed. You may attend class in-person or watch the zoom lectures online. Your grade is made up of 3 exams, 10 assignments, and some bonus opportunities she will provide throughout the semester. Note sheets were allowed for Exam 1 and the Final.
Gupta is good professor
the ONLY professor you should take for bual 2600 and 2650. You can watch all her videos online as she post the class lectures on canvas. She is really funny and tries to bond with students before class. Test are curved, there is bonus offered as well as the lowest homework grade is dropped. She answers emails very quickly! 100% an A if you try.
Take this class with Gupta! She is a good lecturer and makes it very easy to succeed. She records all her lectures which is really helpful for review purposes. Definitely made difficult subjects more approachable. Love her!
I only went to class the first day, watched it from zoom recordings every class (if even). There is barely any assignments, and you can look them up. The tests aren't hard all I did was study all our quizzes and study guide questions right before the test. The final replaces your lowest test grade and was 80% of old test questions
All notes are posted to Canvas so attendance is not mandatory, but it helps. Material is not difficult. There is just a lot of different problems. Study hard for the tests.
She teaches well and wants you to succeed. highly recommended!
Gupta is great, however, the option to take exams online slowly becoming nonexistent (or having to pay). Never went to class but ended with good grade. Online quizzes and extra credit. Also an 88 counts as an A so that's nice.
I loved Gupta's class. Exams were online or in person although they were kind of difficult but she gives you everything you need to succeed. Only went to class once and watched the lecture videos she posted and finished with a high B. Would take her again if given the chance.
Gupta's class was fine. Nothing difficult and the lectures are pretty boring. Easy class to pass as long as you honestly study the week before the test. Barely any assignments too. Just read the (super long) powerpoints and you should be good.
The material and course work is easy enough to understand, however, on more than one occasion, I found that the professor seemed to be unprepared, uninterested and distracted .
Best teacher to take BUAL 2600 and 2650. She knows how to teach so that students understand the material.
Attendance isn't mandatory and she records all her lectures so you can watch. As long as you study a decent amount for her test just from her powerpoints you can get an easy A. She lets you use an entire sheet front and back for a cheat sheet on the test.
Gupta teaches in the best way possible. Best choice for BUAL 2600 & 2650
Hard class but Gupta is great. She gives credit for exam questions if you tell her she didn't go over them in class.
Dr. Gupta is Awesome!!! hard class but she teaches in such a way content gets easier to understand and interesting. She is available to help all the time.
Lectures are very long. Graded (mainly) on 3 exams; which are so far apart that you cover lots of content between tests which make it tough to predict what will be on exams. heavy accent and hard to read handwriting. not a bad person, seems genuine. class is not mandatory, but you have to go to pass. all tests are in person only now.
Gupta is cool and best choice for BUAL 2650.
Seems like a great person, but not an easy class. It was hard to predict what was going to be on the exams because of how much was covered in class, and if you don't go to class or watch the lectures that are posted, you might as well drop.
very nice and wants you to succeed.
Take Gupta
Gupta is a great professor; make sure you go to class, and you will do fine. Exams are very easy, DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT be scared of the exams. As long as you are prepared for it, you will do well. Attendance is not mandatory. We love her!
Great! Just do the assignments and study for exams. Lectures are very boring but optional. She offers a good amount of extra credit. She's kinda funny.
Don't take her for analytics 2. I took her for 1 and it was so easy. I wish I took Chen for 2. She is all over the place and is so unorganized. No more tests online and all of that. She is literally so unorganized she told us three different test dates for the final and the syllabus was wrong.
Shes not the most difficult to get an a in if you just rewatch her lecture videos (Her class is so boring in person it's impossible to pay attention) and make your cheat sheet off of it. . You need to put in a small but decent amount of effort to do well on her tests, they aren't freebees.
I took her for analytics 1, and it was great, but she changed most of her practices this semester. She doesn't video her lectures anymore, she only posts the notes. She also doesn't allow students to take the tests online anymore. She let us have a cheat sheet for 2 out of 3 tests. I would recommend taking it with someone else.
If you don't know or understand this material, going to class won't help. PowerPoints/videos don't help. You can't learn this because she doesn't teach. All of these great reviews are because people have taken the exams online for years and cheated. No more online tests - not even an option. One test we couldn't even bring a page of notes.
Professor Gupta changed her policies this past semester. No online tests anymore and only 2/3 tests we were allowed to have cheat sheets. I hardly went to class and will end with a B. Do not take her if you aren't willing to put ANY effort it. I never went to class, but studied pretty extensively before tests and did fine. Lectures are boring.
Gupta's class is the best class I took in Auburn. I learned a lot.
Her spoken English was fine, if not a bit annoying, but the English on her tests was downright horrendous. Half the battle on her tests was just trying to figure out what the questions were asking. It's like she cobbled together the tests in 5 min and called it done. If you study and do all the extra credit, you can get an A pretty easily.
Honestly she does a great job of explaining and teaching the content on her powerpoint. Many of her test questions also come straight from them. I would recommend taking her class. It's not a lot of work and if you study her powerpoint the tests are very easy.
if you want a teacher who doesnt care take this class, peak laziness, just there to get paid.
I worked hard in the class. Dr. Gupta explains in such a way I fall in love with Business Analytics. She will answer all your questions. She goes over and beyond in teaching
test average was a failing grade. no curve. She spent so much time talking about which questions were written wrong or had only wrong answer choices. God awful professor.
Shes so hard to understand so youre pretty much teaching yourself. My exams grades tanked my grade even though I got As on every other assignment. I missed an exam and when I asked how to make it up she would only say "Yes" instead of telling me how or when. (Yes I asked multiple times)
I took Gupta for one and two. I never had to go to class, I would just cram the slides before the exam and it was easy to get an A. Analytics 2 is definitely more difficult than 1, so keep that in mind when studying. You get a note sheet on the first and the last exam, and the final (exam 3) replaces your lowest exam grade.
Excellent teacher, explains in detail
It it not this professors fault that she is foreign with bad english. it is auburns fault for hiring professors based on how much research theyve done, and not how well they teach. it is impossible to learn from someone you cannot understand. (1)
The class was entirely online. The first lecture randomly jumps into an example problem with bad handwriting, and very very rough pronunciation. reading the textbook helps a little bit, but why even have a professor at that point if i have to read the textbook anyway. The Class is very unorganized and all over the place.(2)
Ready to help and explains everything in detail. Very sweet
Dr. Gupta is best for BUAL 2650.
As long as you go to the class and pays attention, you be fine.
I took Gupta last semester. She is very helpful and willing to help. Explains the material well
I felt I learned a lot from BUAL classes. BUAL 2650 is harder than first one. Gupta is good teacher for both.
I like this professor
She initially goes very fast when lecturing, but don't let that scare you too much. If you go to class, we offers extra credit a few random times throughout the semester. It can be hard to keep up sometimes, but she is always asking if we have questions and is ready to answer them.
BUAL 2650 has more excel related activities. To do well you need to study.
Very good teacher overall, wants to help you and wants you to do well. the notes look harder then the test are.
Her tests are so hard. Coming from someone who normally makes good grades, take the other professor for this class.
Gupta is caring, good teacher.
For both BUAL classes, Gupta is good. She is caring and funny. She explains the material very well. She always asks if we have any questions. Exams are not easy
This class was kind of a joke. It seems like a super complicated class based off the lecture material but then you go to take the exams and they are the easiest questions ever. I believe without looking at anything from the class and without going to any lectures you could at least make a B based on common sense. The only prof I would take for this
Gupta is such a sweetheart, but I think she does a poor job at explaining stuff. She will do a problem and you will have no idea how she got from one part to the next. She genuinely cares about her students but i just struggled with understanding the content.
Dr. Gupta is caring and makes sure we understand the material. I have learned a lot in this class. She explains all the problems in detail. Take her if you can
She is a very nice person but I personally did not do well with her teaching style. Her tests are brutal even if you do attend class. It is also very hard to understand what she is saying. I would probably take someone else.
I am a 4.0 student and didn't think I needed to go bc I am very good at teaching myself material but her slideshows are so confusing. If you want an A go to class and take notes on paper or Ipad. She teaches by writing on her slideshow which I hated. Lecture is insanely boring. Takes attendance for extra credit on a random day before each test
Decent professor and replaces the lowest exam grade with your final exam grade if your final is higher, but she's so difficult to understand
Best choice for BUAL 2650, I learned a lot. Take her only if you are willing to put work. Her exams are tough. She is very helpful
I honestly thought her tests were pretty easy; I didn't even go to class half of the time and I made a 98 on both of them. She records all her lectures so you can go back and watch them. Tests are worth 25% of your grade and final is worth 30% so make sure you study for tests. I pretty much had to teach myself but it's really not that bad.
Going to be so honest, I don't think I learned much in this course because of how easy the exams were. However, I ended with a high A so I can't complain. As long as you carve out time the week before to study for the exam, going to the lecture isn't super necessary
I had Gupta for both BUAL classes. I liked her teaching style. If you go to the class you be fine.
she just reads off of the slides and barely explains its really hard to learn and focus in her class. exams are kinda easy but the downside is they are written in very poor english
Giving a 3 simply because she only has 3 exams and the last one is cumulative final which is too much material to digest for anyone. Seriously, who is still making cumulative exams in 2025...? Not a very good test of knowledge.
Dr. Gupta is very caring and nice. She makes sure students understand the material.
Loved Dr. Gupta. She is a very sweet lady, and loves to make jokes and interact with her students. The tests are extremely fair, and while attendance isn't mandatory I'd go to class anyways because she will help you out. I had her for both analytics 1 & 2, and I had a pleasant experience in both classes. Take her for sure, she's awesome
100% best choice for BUAL 2600 and BUAL 2650. She does a good job of explaining
Professor Gupta makes this class as easy as possible. She walks through the slides exhaustively pointing out exactly what you will be graded on. She posts every lecture but offers a ridiculous amount of bonus for some assignments but mainly attendance. Would highly recommend going to class, but if you took AP Stats in high school you'll be fine.
