Reviews of professor Sneha Murthy

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Do not take her. Its not that the material is hard. She does not teach well so what is the point of attendance She reads what is off the slides one time instead of actually teaching it. The tests are composed of questions we didn't even talk about or she asks them in such a weird way that you get the question wrong or she said it ONE time in class.

Lectures whole entire class usually rambling on about things that make 0 sense. Tests are on things discussed maybe once the entire unit. Make sure you show up to class everyday because case studies count at end of semester. Final was super easy and saved my grade

She takes weeks to get exams back to you, doesnt explain well, and is very confusing during lecture.

Exams were hard and sometimes had questions that weren't really discussed. She's very nice and accessible outside of class during office hours. The textbook is more specific and helps out a lot. You're definitely going to have to read the book to have a better understanding, and the powerpoints help too. She also gives out study guides.

Dr. Murthy is a great person outside of class, but not a very good lecture teacher at all. She is a good lab professor, but when it comes to lecture does not explain things well and is not very reasonable. Will not curve the class even though she says she will at the end of the year. She claims to offer extra credit, although it is very minimal.

Prof. Murthy is the type of person you can tell is extremely intelligent, but can't quite seem to translate it to others. If you pay enough attention to her lectures, it's not hard to understand the concepts. She talks rather quiet, so sitting in the front helps a lot. Her lab class is also super easy once you learn how to graph

She is a very hard teacher and prides herself on giving lots of work. The exams are very hard UNLESS you take the time to read the entire chapter. Take an easier teacher if you can because she is a lot of work. It is possible to get an A though if you try very hard, stay ahead of the readings, do the homework and go to every class.

Not a good professor. Attendance is mandatory but she pretty much just reads off the ppt and then when she does say important info doesn't write it on the board. Tests are more of a trick instead of an assessment of your knowledge. Labs aren't helpful and she lectures during most of it. Grades based on "best" student, not effort/ability.

She seemed very disorganized. She was barely aware of what lab we were doing in class and the lab mentor ran most of it. Homework was weekly and can be time consuming. She is better at teaching one on one rather than lecturing in class. She clearly knows what she is doing but isn't the best a communicating it.
