Reviews of professor Riju Joshi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This was a difficult but good course. She explains the materials well and is very fair in her expectations. I would recommend this professor to any student. I am taking another one of her classes because of how solid she taught us. Better than many professors at Portland State, from my experience.

Riju didn't allow questions on homework during office hours and was bad at answering in-class questions. Didn't post grades online and 2 assignments were never returned. Couldn't hold her grading accountable. Material is not difficult and tests were fair, but she's apathetic towards students and I hated not being able to calculate my own grade.

Very organized lectures. She mastered the methodology and delivered it very well. Lots of homework but it benefits a lot. Not for lazy students.

Professor Joshi is a great instructor that I have taken more than once. I highly recommend her. That being said, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. It's the hardest class I have ever taken, and my classmates and I were completely lost and discouraged the entire term. This class would be good if it were in person, but as an online class it is absolutely awful.
