Reviews of professor Viji Santhakumar

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This professor is very good at teaching. She answers all student questions very quickly on Piazza. She has a passion for the subject and gives a nice curve at the end of the course. Due to the online format, exams are open note and open book. Highly recommend this professor

Viji was a super kind professor who will do what she can to help you succeed. Exams can be tough due to timing and amount of material, but it isn't impossible. If you really take you time to learn the material you can easily get an A. The professor is also very quick to responds to emails and is super helpful!

You have to attend her lectures to understand the confusing slides. Her tests were extremely long which was inconsiderate given that we had 60 minutes for 45 questions. She is a really nice person but as a professor I would never her class ever again. She also taught only half the quarter but had questions for single every exam, which was unfair.

She goes very fast in lecture, and you will have to attend lectures because the exams are based on her lecturing and not solely on slides. Very dense lecture materials. At the start, the class will have an option for closed booked in-person or open-book online exam throughout the quarter. She curves at the end depending on the class grade.
