Reviews of professor Archana Prakash

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Prakash is extremely passionate about her work which is evident in class. She is extremely accessible outside of class and has appointment times available online to sign up for. She doesn't post the slides from lecture which would be helpful. She also moves way too quickly to fully comprehend in lecture. Do the reading!!

She is a decent professor. She doesn't post her lecture slides, but everything she teaches is in her assigned reading; but with that being said, she assigns SO MANY READINGS PER WEEK. Her readings are repetitive and unnecessary in my opinion. The grade distribution on Berkeleytime is a B+, but if you're looking for an easy A, DO NOT TAKE THISCOURSE

Dr. Prakash is very knowledgeable and accessible. However, her lectures can be a bit dry, and slides are not posted, which would be very helpful considering the convoluted nature of the course. Also, attendance is mandatory and begins to negatively impact your grade after four absences. Do the reading, even though it can be a lot.
