Reviews of professor Himadri Samajder

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Himadri does his best to teach but falls short in a lot of things. He takes MONTHS to grade assignments and on top of that the overall grade is decided by a midterm, a final, and 3-4 homework assignments. Homework's were challenging as early on he only covered topics and did not go over examples. If a first time coder, get ready to read.

He tries his best to explain the course content but is unsuccessful in doing so. It is very challenging to follow him during the lectures and most of the time you'll be lost. Only 3 graded homework assignments throughout the entire semester. He said the midterm will be "very easy" but somehow the class average was 43%. Try to stay away if possible.

We had two homeworks, a midterm and a final. It was the most stressful final I've ever taken because your grade relies on 4 things. He is a nice guy but is often corrected by the students on how to teach the subject because he does not seem to really know what he is talking about and his class is super disorganized.

Well compared to someone like Justine Schluntz this man was an absolute God send. Good to finally have a professor who knows what they are doing. He bases your grade on your knowledge. Schluntz bases your grade on what time of the month, and your ability to follow directions.

The AME 324A/B are difficult class themselves so you cannot expect anyone teach them easily. Himadri is a very nice professor who really try to help you with your class although his exam can be tricky. To get a good grade in his class, focus more on the lecture sample question and homework problems and go to the office hour, that's how I get A.

This class is extremely test heavy. you only have a midterm and a final, and they are worth a total of 70% of your grade. What's funny is that all other Matlab courses allow you to use the actual software for the exams, but he makes you write on paper. He does not give any practice problems or study guides for exams and misleads about exam content

Himadri is great. You'll probably learn more from reading the textbook (which doing before tests and during HW is a lifesaver), but his lectures can be helpful and he seems to really want his students to succeed. He does tend to start yelling when he gets excited, which is entertaining.

Himadri is a great professor in a way that he really tries to explain stuff but you wont understand a lot of what he is saying. If you want to pass his exams, you will need to go over everything in the book and learn by yourself.

Very concise, clear lectures that cover exactly what you need to know. Himadri prepares you sufficiently to be successful in his class. Very caring and funny. You don't need to worry about him being too quiet to hear.
