Instead of slides and conceptually heavy lectures ,she opts for 90% problem-solving and 10% conceptions.

The class average was 16/25 and median 15/25 for the midterm. You could already guess what kind of professor she really is. Made the midterm extremely complicated even though she taught nothing in class. Practiced all the HW's continuously but it was nothing like that on the midterm. Scared like hell for the final.

She isn't a bad professor. You really do learn from her lectures, she does a lot of practice problems in class and explains the material well. She can definitely teach, however, her exams can be difficult. It's usually harder than the sample exams and homework she gives.. unnecessary.

Shes okay and definitely tries to explain everything in detail and answer students questions, but her tests are really hard. It is not the same as the practice test at all. Somehow similar with the hw and definitely review the questions on the back of every chapter (most of the questions from the test were similar to them)

I regret why I took her! Did so many quizzes, hw on connect that was 45% of the grade. Her midterm and final was so hard. Nothing comes from the review sheet. Why this joke! Get ready to do quizes and hw on every week. Sometimes shell provide 1day to do the quize! Dont mess up your CGPA!!!

Average teacher that do practice problems and read from slides. Allow cheat sheet for the tests. HWs is ok; some are long which take a couple of hours to do. To pass the test, you need to be comfortable using the calculator to solve questions. Study from the review session and end of textbook questions. Understand concepts and the tests are easy.

I pay tuition of out of my own pocket, and it is sad to see that Baruch has professors like her to offer. Terrible experience, class meets once a week. She does 2 or 3 problems off the book and doesn't go over the concepts. You will not know what she is going to ask on the exam. If u have time to self teach yourself, take her.

Lectures were boring and difficult to follow. She would quickly jump between presentations and work problems without clearly explaining the connections. Tests are very difficult and the review doesnt go over anything covered in the tests. Expect to spend the semester teaching yourself.

Professor Haazarika's class was asynch for me. It was a pretty easy class and provided a lot of resources to study and complete the assignments. Professor was also very easy to get in contact with, and always replied to my emails on time. Truly an amazing professor!!!
