Reviews of professor Riju Joshi

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
First off, she gave a long homework assignment over break before class started. During class, there were few homework assignments and they usually weren't handed back soon enough. She tried pretty hard during lectures to explain the concepts from different angles. The tests were fairly easy and matched the homework for the most part.

She gave a long homework assignment over break before class started. The class was much more theoretical and you do a lot of stats proofs instead of applied work. There was very little homework, not really enough to prepare you for the tests. She did give a couple extra credit assignments that boost your grade half a point at the end.

I wouldnt take any class taught by her if I were you. She doesnt explain things very well and she will openly laugh at you if you ask a question she thinks is irrelevant or stupid. Tests are long and she doesnt prepare you for them. Midterm scores were pretty low. I mean, do you want but dont say I didnt tell you so.

I like the overall course provided by her. Though the course is a little tough, I learned much from her and if you pass her EC 570, then EC 571 will not be your problem.
