Reviews of professor Shobhana Xavier

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Such an awesome teacher and you can tell she is a nice person. Her lectures were awesome and she had super interesting guests. I really enjoyed the assignments, one paper was on Kanye and another was on the Matrix. Grading was not hard and the TA's were very approachable and gave really good feedback.

Her reputation is stellar but I was disappointed. Guest lectures take up most of the term and she was a tough grader. No matter how much you asked for advice, went to her ahead of deadlines and did the readings, she was just harsh. I was shocked to find that she was super unsympathetic of personal circumstances and didn't accommodate her students.
