Reviews of professor Laura Danai

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She's a decent lecturer and she seems to genuinely care about teaching. Participation is important for her. There are 4 exams and the majority of your grade is based on exams. Its not super difficult to pass the class, but it takes effort to get an A. Only bad thing is that some exam problems are worded weird, but its only 1-2 out of 20 per exam.

if you care about your GPA, do NOT take this class. Very few people get As. Most get low Bs and Cs even the super smart ones.

If you need to take BC423 and you are scared because of the low rating:
This is a lvl 400 class, it's not going to be easy. But you can make it easier for yourself. Read the txtbk before class, attend class, & ASK QUESTIONS. Prof. Danai is not this mean professor that students are making her out to be. She will support you, just put in the work.

The class, 423, is a very difficult class, where it is very detail heavy and the exams are very difficult as well. Professor Danai is a very good teacher and your success in the course depends on paying attention in class, reading the textbook, and putting in time in order to do well on the exams.
