omfg the absolut worst prof ever. never slows down to explain anything. cant speek english. dont even bother asking her a question in class, she wont anwser. i learned more from my roomate then her
She confuses the hell out of calculus! Only go to class so that she gives you 3 points at the end of the semester. Otherwise just sleep through the class and get help from someone else. Don't take her if you can prevent it!
She cant teach. Wont answer any questions, always says "see me after class". Worst teacher i ever had at riddle, even the teacher that didn't show up half the time was better than her.
Alright, so I've been a math person since I was little, but she takes this way out of control. The problem is that she knows her stuff. You can tell she's in a much higher math and thinks we're stupid. Also, her tests don't even test our basic knowledge of the sections. Avoid if possible
Ditto.
Often makes up words that dont exist. No test review and the tests are ridonculous. Was supposed to get a much better teacher but i guess riddle messed that one up. AVOID HER
Yes, it's true, she is very hard to understand at times. She often gets confused about what she is talking about and tells us incorrect things. Thankfully I've had Calc 1 before this, so it's all review. Her tests are VERY easy, but if I hadn't have had calc before I probably would have been screwed
Before this class, I never made anything below a B in any math class, but I ended up with a C in hers. Her class was so boring and you could not understand what she was saying half the time. I ended up sleeping through most of the class because of boredom.
does help you out at all could care less about how her students do in class
She sucks at teaching.Try taking some other sections.Otherwise you will get screwed.Good if you have previous knowledge in math.
she was a good teacher, her accent wasn't that bad, she generally cared if you were doing bad and as along as you talk to her shewill probably try to help you out.
Pretty easy class if you have had calc before. Good teacher - accent a little hard to understand, but you get by. I enjoyed her class, however she can put you to sleep sometimes. Good class
horrible!
One word "na-ga-tive" if you've had her you understand.
Not the best, but she helps you when you need it. Very nice person, and she is misunderstood.
Ive taken her twice, not by choice. She actually cares about you as a student, if you get to know her. She is every understanding, but most people dont try. first tiem around was hell but i enjoyed the second time. D first semester, A second.
Many people say she is a bad teacher, but I had her for the summer b term and I think otherwise.
This class hurt so bad I changed my major after three days. The idea of listening to "5y equals to na-ga-tive 3eeecks" for a whole semester made me want to die.
Great teacher. Yes, she's Indian, so she has a slight accent, but it's not like you can't understand what she's saying. Explains everything VERY thoroughly, gives detailed handouts for each class, is fun and friendly, but not so good when you need help out side of class. Very easy assignments!
She's so nice. If you do the homework, you should pass. She only assigned the odd numbered problems, and she would work them out in front of you if you asked. She gave sample tests that are almost exactly like the real tests. An easy A.
she's the sweetest person ever! she's so cute too cuz she doesn't know english slang. she has a slight accent but i didn't have any difficulties understanding her and i have problems with accents. she teaches you straightforward and if you don't understand she's more than happy to help. gives daily quizes but they're easy. homework isn't hard.
I don't get math but she made it easy enough that I pulled an A and she's really nice
She is an excellent teacher
I had her this semester for 242 and last semester for 241 and shes honestly a great teacher..just do her homework(even tho i never did :P) lol but just do it and it will pay off.. her tests are easy and she even has an optional make up test. she grades liniently and always willing to help.very friendly with students. too bad she dont teach ma243 :(
She may repeat herself or go very slowly, but she only wants her students to understand the material. I recommned her if you cannot get doctor ross, lambardo, siva, or kaba .
She tries really hard to explain the material in a way everyone will understand and if she repeats herself, its to help the people struggling to understand. She is more than willing to help after class and in her office. Some of her methods are slightly odd, but overall, shes a great professor.
Very hard time understanding her. Makes many mistakes and has to have students correct them for her. If math is not your favorite subject, I do not recommend you take her. No hard feelings.
Amazing teacher. definitely a good teacher. class goes at a very steady pace. she explains everything on the way.
if do her homework consistantly and know how to do all the problems, you will get A's on tests. if you don't go to class or pay attention, don't expect to do well. she explains things VERY well and genuinely wants students to understand the material. I LOVED HER!!
GREAT professor! Loved her! Was always generally concerned with how you were doing in the course. If u ever need help, she will be there!!!Quite clear in her teaching methods. Has about 13-15 assignments for the entire semester and if you do well on all, then ur guaranteed an A. Sweet and caring! TAKE HER!!! Wont regret it!
She is by far the best math teacher I have ever had. If math isn't your subject, then take this teacher. She will explain the material in a way you can understand.
Very nice and easy professor.She goes over the material that is on the homework everyday and answers questions when you turn it in.Although she has a little Indian accent, you can understand everything she teaches easily. Her tests are easy. I have a 100 in her class =)
I have now taken her twice, both times were repeat courses for me. She is a very good prof. Do your homework(similar to test) and go to class and you will be fine.
Good teacher. Makes things very clear, cares about her students, definitely recommend.
Awesome teacher, hard class if you dont show up or pay attention, but thats calc 2 for you. Cares about her students and always willing to help. Makes a hard subject very clear. Definitely recommend.
Tough teacher, but if you go to her for help and work at it you will do fine. You can't just wing this subject, she makes sure that you actually know the material to pass. I would recommend her.
Makes things very clear, one of the best MA teachers in the department
It seems like a lot of people rate her based on the subject material, not her teaching. She's great. If you need her to back up and explain something again, she'll gladly do it. MA345 sucks, but she makes it bearable. She offers help freely and cares about her students. It shows. And, freshmen... Teachers have accents here at Riddle. Get over it.
Chakrabarti is super nice, and will explain a problem until you get it, she knows everyone's name by the 2nd class, and the homework is relatively simple. the only problem are her tests, she throws the hardest of the hardest problems on the test and there is never a problem in class or on the homework as complicated as the tests.
Incredible! I would take her again for anything. One of the best teachers I've had. She's very nice and a wonderful teacher. She really knows her stuff, and encourages questions. Do the homework and review it before a test and you will be fine.
One of the best math teachers I have had. She leaves plenty of time for people's questions and is very helpful. She goes through the steps of solving problems and shows many examples in class. I recommend taking her for anything.
Great teacher. Goes through everything slowly and will repeat any or all parts. Taking her again definitely. Tests are hard if you dont study for them
Hands down, best Math teacher I ever had
Honestly, the best math teacher I've ever had, hands down. She will bend over backwards to help you understand the material. She is super sweet and definitely knows her stuff. Also, she'll make brownies for everyone one day during the semester. Math and brownies, how much better does life get?
She is a very nice teacher. She is clear and concise and would explain till you understand the problem. However, tests could take you by surprise. Study homework problems and try solving more complex problems of the same form and you will be good. Take advantage of office time and enjoy the sweet brownies served. Good luck.
Great professor. Makes complicated mathematical concepts seem easy. Test aren't east but definitely fair
Best professor ever! She teaches like a mom to her son. She is very kind and fair. Usually no final test if you have an A overall
Great!
Great!
Probably the best professor for calc 3. Teaches like a mother and she makes sure you understand .Always has a smile on her face .She is very helpful.Makes sure the class passes.Doesn't curve but occasionaly replaces lowest test with final (still helpful).Tests are hard . Show up to class or you'll be lost in the next lecture or might even fail
Very helpful and an excellent instructor!
She is the best teacher that I have ever had for any class! I don't think the class is easy, but it's definitely not hard. I really understand the material after taking her class. I was pissed that ERAU didn't give her MA345. She is so helpful and clear in her lectures. I barely had to study for tests; which are not easy. BEST TEACHER AT ERAU!!!!!!
Chakrabarti made this class extremely enjoyable! She's very kind and clear, and her grading is fair. She takes the time to get know and care about each student, so she's very helpful individually as well as in lecture. You'd be crazy to pass up one of her classes!
Chakrabarti is a very good professor. The material wasn't always exhilarating, but she taught it well. A lot of us couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or actually would get upset with us due to her accent, but we quickly learned she was just being sarcastic. Definitely recommend her, really good teacher.
Very dedicated instructor. Highly motivated and extremely smart.
simply one of the best professors of mathematics.
Probably the best Calculus professor I've ever had. She was very good at teaching the material and making sure you know what you're doing on your assignment and on the tests. She makes understanding easy, and without any ridiculous amounts of studying you can easily pass the tests with a good grade. Great teacher, will definitely take her again.
This has to be one of the best Math teachers I have ever taken! Very very nice and very helpful. She is there for you. Her lectures are great and very easy to understand. She makes confusing material easy to get. Has office hours and helpful in them. If you do your homework and study the material, easy A. I got a high 90 in this class overall.
The best mathematics professor I have taken at Riddle thus far. She explains things so clearly and teaches so well. Her voice is oddly soothing actually. She is a phenomenal professor and you should do everything you can to take her courses.
She teaches pretty clearly, and is always willing to help out. Usually replaces a test with your final and drops some homework and quiz grades. Tests are a lot like the homework, so know that well and you'll do fine.
She teaches in a very understandable way. Tests are based on homework problems. I would highly recommend her.
Professor Chakrabarti is fantastic. She will do everything she can to help you understand the concepts of the class, and her lectures are detailed, clear, and paced very well. Extremely nice in person, and genuinely cares about her class!
Helpful, clear, and very friendly, Professor Chakrabarti is an awesome professor. Really teaches the subject well and assignments are straightforward.
She teaches very well. Study the homework and the class notes and you will get an A.
Sharmistha Chakrabarti gives lectures that are easy to follow and relate clearly to the homework, quizes, and tests. Before her class I didn't prefer math, now I'm looking at getting two math minors! I want to take more classes from her. I can't say enough good things about her.
Possibly the hardest class iv'e taken so far. This may in fact be the best professor I have ever had. Helps you understand concepts and visualization very clearly.
Dr. Chakrabarti is possibly the greatest professor at ERAU, if not all of Planet Earth. A phenomenal lecturer, fair grader, intelligent mathematician, and caring woman. She can make difficult topics completely understandable. She truly cares about her students in terms of academics, stress, sleep, happiness, and quality of life. Highly recommended!
Ms. Chakrabarti is a really great teacher. Her tests are basically like her homework. If you understand the homework, you will do good on the test. She really cares about her students. Her accent is light as well. Easy to understand.
Amazing professor! If you have a opportunity, TAKE HER!! Very sweet and caring, but she will make you work for your grade.
Professor Chakrabarti really cares about her students and makes sure that the material is explained clearly. If you do her homework and understand it, you should have no problems on her tests. She has a light accent but is still very easy to understand. She is quite possibly the best professor at ERAU. Take as many math classes with her as you can.
The classes are great and she does an amazing job teaching it. But since the subject matter is Calculus 3, you will have to work hard for your grades.
Dr. Chakrabarti is an amazing math professor. She is extremely clear, especially for someone who's first language may not have been English. She is easy to understand and learn from. Also, the homework is minimal while adequately preparing you for all of the tests if you are willing to review them.
She's great! I just want to make her proud
If you struggle with calculus, she is the right professor for you. She explains problems VERY thoroughly. I found it difficult to pay attention in her class though because once I understood it, I wanted to move on, and she wouldn't for a very long time. Slow paced, well taught, patient with questions. Overall, good professor.
One of the best professors at Embry-Riddle. Took her for MA242 and MA243HON and will be taking her for MA345HON. She teaches in a way that is very easy to understand, and if you don't understand, she is always happy to help during office hours. One of the most caring professors I've ever had!!!
I had her for 243 and 345. Hands down my favorite professor on campus. She explains things in an understandable and organized fashion. Her tests are similar to homework and typically have a bonus question. She will sometimes give hints to difficult hw questions as well. She is very caring and always answers your questions.
Extremely smart, caring & honest. She considers math an "art-form" & teaches the material very diligently & is understandable if calculus doesn't come easy to you. Her #1 priority is her students understanding the material & will work with you for hrs after class if you want, but she expects a lot, is a tough grader & the tests are challenging.
There is a reason she has previously won professor of the year. She will make sure that you understand the subject and pass her class. One of the best professors at the school. She makes topics that would be difficult otherwise and makes them easy to understand and work with.
Chakrabarti is an excellent math professor. She teaches theory as well as examples and makes the class very accessible all without a textbook. She is extremely clear, and willing to stop class and help anyone who needs it. The class was challenging for me as an average math student, but I really felt like I learned and worked for it.
Professor Chakrabarti has been an amazing professor! She is a fair grader, so you need to work hard in her class but she is very caring and is always willing to help if you don't understand something (in or outside of class). Her lectures are easy to follow - if you do/understand the homework, the tests should be fairly straight forward!
My dream teacher! She made everything so clear, reviewed any material we needed to remember from previous classes, and is just a lovely person! Always sends an excel sheet of your current grade before tests. TAKE HER CLASS! Enough said.
She is very helpful during and outside of class. Each step is explained clearly. Can always be reached by email to ask questions. There is a lot of work, but it's not that hard. Would totally take her again.
Has great lectures that help you understand material, there is a lot of homework but it is all pretty easy to do. She is understanding and helpful aswell if you need help.
She was great at explaining things, and made sure students understood the topics before moving on to the next one, a quality which is rare among college professors. Her diagrams and visuals were very helpful as well.
Everything you need to know is taught in the class, so as long as you pay attention, you should have no issues passing the class and getting a good grade. She is very accessible outside of class and does a great job at explaining if you don't understand something that was mentioned in class.
Very fast paced class and NOT sympathetic about it. No partial credit on tests.
Shes an absolutely fabulous professor. She does a great job explaining concepts and her handwriting is super easy to read. My only complaint is that she doesnt give partial credit on tests, but you are allowed to submit three questions if you want for partial credit. Great calc teacher.
A very solid choice! She derives formulas for you and then does examples. Has a clear syllabus to show what is done/due when. Very accessible outside of class and very happy when she gets questions. I can tell she loves teaching and her students. Class goes kind of fast, but if you ask for help, you'll pass with a good grade. Final was optional.
Amazing drawings during lectures make her class easy to understand. It is difficult, but she makes it a lot easier.
Incredible professor. Most notable about her is her fantastic drawing skills. Her drawing skills better allow me to visualize the content that is being described in class. If you want to be Calculus III to be made easy while still learning a lot, take this professor.
The best professor I've had at Riddle. Lectures are quick but easy to follow. Visuals and drawings provided are immaculate and help immensely to understand topic. She truly cares about students; makes it a point to know your name, notices your struggles and tries to help right away, will answer any and all questions. If possible, take this prof!!
Great, kind professor who's super helpful if you're struggling. Calculus is a tough subject but if you ask for help she'll always provide it for you. Absolutely attend office hours ASAP if you didn't understand something during the lecture, because difficulties can add up quick, but she'll absolutely explain it for you.
I took professor Chakrabarti for MA 143. I always had a difficult time in math (failed algebra once and precalculus twice). This professor was the only person in the last few years that was able to get the point across to me and teach me well. She is extremely caring (will help you with any question) and is consistent with the flow of assignments
