Ananya Das
CSCI
Professor Das method of teaching data structures was very helpful and made it easy to follow. The weekly homework were challenging, but doable with the help of TA hours. Exams were difficult, but the professor provided us with great practice beforehand and zoom sessions to cover material.
Professor Das is a tough professor, but I find her classes are always the most rewarding at the end. In this class, we had two midterms (one in the first half of the semester and one at the very end), four coding projects that could be done solo or in a pair, and a final project which included a presentation and a project write up. Personally, paired with another CS course, this class was tough. However, I enjoyed the material and the exams were not as difficult as one would think.

Most of the classwork was 4 homework throughout the semester. Some were good, but they were often filled with busy work. Speaking of which, busy work is the key term with Prof Das. In the week-and-a-half span at the end of the semester, you need to write your final project code, make a final project presentation before you even finish the code, turn in a final project progress report, AND finish the 9-page final project report. To top it off, we have a final midterm sandwiched in between all of that. So much of this felt like busy work to the point that I wasn't even interested in my final topic by the end.
