This class was beyond frustrating. Agrawal was impatient,unapproachable and I honestly could only understand half of what she said since her accent is so strong. Most of her class is done online but she has no clue on how to use it. She will refuse to work with you and will only get more angry with you when you ask questions.

Class is 100% self taught. she didn't reply to my emails for questions on homework. She moved the final up a week early which is against the rules. told us to study the 3 tests even though she had not yet graded test 3. had to talk to the head of the math dept to have the final during the regular week. You have been warned. Do not take this woman.

I originally didn't register for this teacher but was changed without my consent.I adapted to her and I loved it. I will be looking for her for my future math classes. She puts it plain and simple so just keep up in every class and don't put off homework and studying because she gives you everything you need and makes it very easy to follow.

Instructor is AWFUL. Speaks english very poorly, hard to follow and understand. Dosent explain problems in anything thats remotely comprehendable. I am a week into her summer class 5/25 have already dropped her class. Almost everyone in the class is baffled as to what to do in the class. DO NOT TAKE THIS INSTRUCTOR.

She uses MyMathLab so yeah a lot of the class is self-taught. If you go to class and take notes over the lecture it helps a little but I found her accent difficult to understand. She's a nice lady but I wouldn't recommend her class, for the sake of your grades.

She does have an accent, but she writes notes on the board and if you write down all the examples that she does on the board, you will understand everything. Hw is nice and simple. few questions, quizzes are easy, tests are even easier if you did the review and CALCULATORS ON EVERYTHING!!

I love this class!! I am an avid note taker and pay close attention while she is lecturing, her lectures are very concise, she starts the section right away with examples and explains them and then assigns hw that you can do in the classroom. some tips, SIT IN THE FRONT, DON'T PROCRASTINATE THE HW, DO THE REVIEW, AND PARTICIPATE she loves that!

She has a very heavy accent, which makes the math lingo hard to understand. It seems like she assumes everyone in the class took precal in high school last year. class is basically self tought through my math lab. Only homework above 80% counts. Lots of homework due at the sametime. Don't take this class unless it's a review for you.

I took her for summer online and she requires you to purchase webassign which is another $75. She did not respond to any of my emails and she didnt update grades so the whole time you wont know what you have in the class. Also webassign doesnt allow you to go back to look at previous work or look at your grades again. I regret taking her class.

This has to be the hardest math I've taken because I haven't learned much. I go home and teach myself everything because her teaching skills are horrible. she tested us on 5 chapters which was overwhelming. But the upside is you can do homework in class. Buy a calculator if you decide to take her it will save your life!

Did not set clear expectations, syllabus is brief and you do not know what to expect. Had issues with MyMathLab, and every time I emailed her she WOULD reply but would be one sentence answers. She did give partial credit for one question when asked. Needs to work on interactions and helpfulness for class.

She is a good teacher and moves at a good pace. She gives you extra points on your tests if you do the review and points depend on how you score. There is homework after every assignment and quizzes often as well, but you can do all these with text material. She does everything on a program called webassign and that's where you will get the text.

This was my 1st class to take online so I don't have much to compare it to, but Professor Agrawal only emails to tell you when exams are. I often had questions but was answered with short responses that were unhelpful. The material wasn't hard, but I had to teach myself everything. She gives extra credit on exams but that's all the help you'll get.

I took this course online. The work is easy. But you have to teach yourself everything. She requires you to pay $100 for webassign, which again, does not teach you anything. The only communication with her is when she emails about exams. She gives extra credit on exams if you do the review.

Prof Veena, she was really helpful and easy to get high grade on this class. However, her accent was probably difficult to understand. She gave some Review test for student to get extra credits. the higher grade on Review, the more extra credit you earn on Final test. Just note the formula, do quizzes and homeworks, Reviews Ipassed with A Grade.

My Precal professor was switched out so I had to take Prof. Agrawal. She's nice overall but I'm not going to sugarcoat the course, it was tough and there's a ton of homework but if you do the work, you can pass. She gives a review for tests and she gives extra credit if you complete the reviews (which helped a lot). She's tough but it can be done.

Dr. Agrawal is a wonderful professor that truly cares for her students and is enthusiastic about what she teaches. There are plenty of extra credit opportunities and a week to complete homework, so it's impossible to fail this class, unless you don't do the work. Study hard and take advantage of all the extra credit and it's an easy A.
