Reviews of professor Meghana Jain

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Meg is availible to help and a nice person. Unfortunately the program you use for 251 and 287 is god awful and extremely frustrating. Class is easy and you get out early every day, labs are easy but slow, projects will mess you up if you're not willing to put in A LOT of time. It's coding, but don't google stuff like in a normal class.

Meg can be strict, and she sometimes gets more annoyed than other professors would when students don't follow directions. But it's obvious she really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Overall she's a good professor, and also a genuinely a nice and caring person.

She   super kind and nurturing. Always available for outside help. Cherishes the ability to teach young minds. Watch lectures at home

Professor Jain is overly strict on attendance and deadlines; you will not get extensions. You will receive little to no guidance on the final project and be graded by arbitrary standards that are not even mentioned in the lackluster project description. Often leaves passive aggressive and unprofessional comments in emails and the syllabus.

Flipped classroom method that helped me understand the content thoroughly, although this method might not help others. In class lecture activities that count as participation, TA's and UCA's were super helpful during these times. Clear grading criteria and the projects were pretty straightforward (just dont procrastinate!!)

VERY arrogant and hostile. The character limit is not nearly long enough to express my grievances about Meg Jain. I'll let her speak for herself

"If you don't understand this you should reevaluate your place in this program"
[1st day] "There is one alpha in this room and it's none of you"
"How have you even gotten this far?"

Not a good look, Meg.

She gives a ton of homework. The final project is a huge jump from the rest of the class. If you want an A just do all the assignments on time.
