Reviews of professor Abhay Mishra

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Very good professor but the material is very boring and stale. If you don't go to class then more than likely you will fail. He cares a lot about your success and is disappointed when you don't meet expectations. However, he does not do a very good outlining what his expectation are. If you go to class, pay attention, and do your work you'll pass.

Prof Mishra is a fun instructor, helped make some bland material somewhat interesting. Exams are challenging but he allows a note sheet which makes them pretty easy. Group projects/assignments were pretty easy and the final presentation is fun if you choose a topic you care about. Show up to class and joke around with him and it will be a good time

Mishra is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about your success. He wants to see your growth. He gets disappointed when you don't meet expectations, but that's because he cares about you. This isn't an easy A, but out of all the courses I've taken at ISU, MIS 320 with Mishra has been one of the most useful classes I've taken.

Abhay is a cool, nice guy. His slides are dense and sometimes stale but he cares about your learning and well-being. He also gives out snacks and cash rewards!

He's not bad! Very willing to improve/change things up when he's given feedback. His class is test heavy (you'll be fine if you prepare a little/have a good cheat sheet), most assignments are group assignments (find a good group to work with), and you do need to participate and pay attention in class (he really appreciates people who speak up).

Excellent professor, the best I've had in the MIS department so far. Very clear on expectations, really knows his stuff, and wants to help you if he can. Material is heavy on technicalities by its nature but he makes it easy to learn.

By far the worst professor I've ever had at Iowa State University. He is a very tough grader and does not give good feedback on assignments only check marks. For the group projects he did not have any grading criteria and expected you to know what to do with no information on the syllabus or on his slides... Will not take again.
