Reviews of professor Madhuri Debnath

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She's the worst professor in the CS department. All material is taught through YouTube videos. She didn't grade assignments for months so there's NO feedback at all in time for the exams. Everyone was lost. I had to get a tutor to pass the class. Avoid at all costs!

No coursework outside of tests. Has a tendency to talk in circles. I gave up on attending lectures early on because it was difficult to follow along. My final was incorrectly graded and I had to prod her for over a week to get it fixed, otherwise I would've scored a solid letter grade on it lower than I deserved.

Precorded lectures, went directly from the book. Had 2 TA's but it was a fight to get grades back promptly.

She routinely extended deadlines days after the due. Incredibly frustrating to students who did the work, but were not able to resubmit.

If I didn't know how to program prior to class, I would've been lost by her hands off or lack of care.

I've had this professor twice, once online and once in person. You mostly just have to turn everything in and do OK on the tests to pass. The lectures show exactly what'll be on tests and in the homework. She is very caring in person, but was difficult to reach in an online format. Regardless, she is far from the worst professor in the department.

The worst professor I have ever had. 90% of her teaching is done through very poorly made youtube videos going over powerpoints. She is really bad at explaining things, and then is condescending and unhelpful to students that tell her they don't understand. Hardly anyone in the class knows what is going on due to her inability to explain things.

She is a very kind person. It took a while to understand the format and what I was doing, but that was more of a reflection on what I don't know. She was willing to help you out when you asked for it.

I got through the class pretty well and felt like I learned everything I was supposed to in the class.Only weekly quizzes and a midterm and final contributed to my grade. Yes, she is slightly hard to understand and lecture could be a little all over the place, but not to a point where I couldn't understand or keep up with the content I was given.

Definitely one of the nicest profs at cu denver! She does a good job thoroughly explaining the material, and is very understanding when it comes to asking for accommodations due to outside factors. You can't really go wrong taking a class with her.

She talks in circles and doesn't really explain things super well, in my opinion. Most of the learning I did on my own outside of class with the notes she posted and w3schools. Attending class was kind of useless, but attendance was taken every once in a while.
