Reviews of professor Himadri Samajder

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is a very nice guy and obviously cares for his students. His grading scale is very unique, if you do well on the final you are basically guaranteed an A in any of his classes

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The hardest part is that there are barely any assignments, only one midterm and a final. The midterm and final will make up 80% of your grade. I highly recommend going to his lectures because looking at his lecture notes alone is not helpful

Had him for 105 too. Barely assigns any homework & then tests you on stuff you are not comfortable w/ yet due to lack of practice. The exams are short and tbh not bad, but can suck if you don't put in the effort to prepare yourself outside of class. He's a nice guy & if you disagree with his exam grading or need accommodations, he will work w/ you.

Himadri truly cares about his students and wants to see them succeed. Tests are very fair if you attend classes, people who complain definitely do not attend lectures.

Himadri is a good professor who clearly cares about his students, however whether it is his teaching style or just the amount expected from him 324C has too much material covered in too little time. This means material is often rushed and only covered for a couple days. That being said tests aren't too hard and he is very lenient while grading.

GOAT.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
30% of your grade on 1 assignment, the other 70% on a test and a midterm that he does not prepare you for. He put little to no effort into the way the class was actually taught. His lectures are useless if you read the book because he is word for word reading the textbook.

Himadri is the nicest man in the world. That being said, he's not the best lecturer. Learning goals are not super clear, and the tests were tricky. There was one midterm, one final, and four homeworks. Himdari will do everything in his power to help you, including giving an extra boost to his curve after finals. Still a hard class.
