Reviews of professor Lalitha Dorai

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Dont see why everybody is complaining about her. She breaks the material down and made it easy to understand. Her accent bad at all and could understand her. I think the main reason people are complaining is because they are bad at math and need to brush up on their algebra. She teaches against the book sometimes so DONT SKIP lectures.

This is an extremely challenging class. HW+Labs+quizzes are super easy so that's a free 30%. The tests are way more difficult than anything shown to you in class or on homework. You must use extra online resources to prepare. Disorganized lectures, not helpful at all in my opinion. You will fail the exams if you don't spend tons of time preparing.

I just finished with md dorai this past fall semester. it was awful. she doesnt understand if you dont understand what shes teaching. she is not very helpful even when she offers to help you. very critical. she told a student in my class to "change their major" if they didnt understand physics. i would drop it fast!

She is nice but very disorganized and confusing. She writes small on the board so sit in the front row if you can. Also, the homework isn't required but you will need to do it to be prepared for tests. She almost never goes through actual examples and only explains the theory. Very little emphasis on labs. Very open for questions outside of class.

Moves very quick. Goes over the priors classes material quickly. No extra credit opportunities. Never used the lab book. Sometimes difficult to understand. Grades slowly. Was willing to help after class. Make sure you have a strong math background, it is expected you do. Many drop out of class. Tutoring is available. Final was open notes.

Although this class was difficult, overall I would say she was a good professor. I went to her multiple times for help after class and she was always available. Her exams are multiple choice and difficult, but the final was much easier and made up for a lot of the final grade. She moves fast in lecture but is willing to answer questions.

Wasted my money on lab notebook . Don't even use it one bit . She's never in her office during the listed office hours . She teaches terribly fast , you won't understand anything she's talking about . She makes you feel dumb by saying its really simple but it's really not . Don't take her . Avoid her if you can . You'll regret taking Her !
