Reviews of professor Arnab Nandi

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Good lecturer. Class was relatively easy. Did not feel I learned much.

Dr. Nandi is clearly very passionate about what he does and it shows in lectures. The class taught me lots about databases but I never felt overwhelmed by the work. Feedback on homeworks and projects is always very thorough and precise.

Arnab is my favorite prof this semester without a doubt. His lectures and slides are really useful and the homework is a good reflection of what we talk about in class. He does a lot of examples and has even done a few days where he just shows the results of different SQL queries. Very funny and relatable.

A good intro to databases and SQL and has a semester long group project. HW is graded on completion and exams are graded lightly. Really nice guy and pretty laid back easy course. Highly recommend trying SQL on your own, helps a lot with the material. He will love it if you make something in SQL and show it to him and also participate in class.

Dr. Nandi is very kind but also seems to not care too much, but maybe because our class was a bit quiet. The class is just reading 1-2 papers for each class, running a class discussion for one of those days with your group, and a semester long group project. Quizzes were a bit confusing but graded easy.

I wish I would have learned more in this class, but it's such a big topic to cover in a single course. Arnab was super chill which I appreciated. Graded very generously. If you really want to be proficient in SQL and database topics, in general, it's going to take a lot of outside work to gain that. He gives you a starting point, you go from there
