Reviews of professor Krishnendu Ghosh

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Most of the important grades and learning will be from in class labs. He is always willing to help and is understanding. He also makes goofy jokes a bunch and smiles all funny(you just gotta be there).

Dr. Ghosh is extremely helpful. He wants his students to understand the material. He gives practical examples to help you understand it. There was a lot of homework but it just helped you understand the material.

Dr. Ghosh is very passionate and tries his best to explain the material for a extremely difficult course. He is a harsh grader. The textbook is your best friend for this course, read it and practice the problems until you get a understanding of the material. Reading the chapters prior to attending the lecture is helpful.

The actual class is CSCI 431 Database Concepts but that wasn't an option. Simply do not take this professor if you can avoid it. Terrible grader. Gives no feedback. Answers your questions with more questions that aren't helpful, etc. Doesn't care if his whole class is failing he's only here for a paycheck!

You won't get grades or feedback until the date grades are due if even that. Lessons are filled with "look that up for homework". You cannot read his handwriting and only tends to explain material in one way. The reading is kind of helpful but he looks for very specific free response answers on quizzes and tests. Labs always run over class time.

Ghosh is super funny and he wants you to understand the concepts he teaches, but he's not great at teaching. He will leave you unprepared for his tests, and those count for basically your entire grade. My best advice is to do the hw and do not slack off. If you show interest and participate he might go easy on you, grade-wise.

Ghosh is probably the worst professor I've ever had. He gives pop quizzes atleast biweekly, he never gives feedback on assignments in a timely manner, and you will have to depend heavily on the textbook to get by, as his lectures are confusing and his delivery of the material sucks. This man is in my nightmares

I don't understand anything he says. He rarely actually lectures though. The majority of the presentations are done by students and guest speakers. He also requires that for each presentation you write a paper and there are usually four presentations in a week. All of the rubrics are very vague so you are left clueless on what he expects of you.

This guy is a joke. He might as well have made his senior quote in high school: "Check the textbook." His lectures are boring and not helpful. Do not bother taking this class unless you have to. The tests count for a lot of your grade. He is horrible at review and takes off point without fair explanation. Not to mention his handwriting is bad.
