Reviews of professor Bhumasamudram Jagadish

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. J was a good professor for the most part, very flexible with grades and labs. Participation matters but as long as you come to class and make an effort you should be fine. Fair warning, he tends to teach and go through lectures quickly which can be hard while taking notes.

Took Dr. J over summer and he's REALLY nice but always seemed to be unprepared. Only read off slides and didn't give a lot of outside examples/resources. Had to teach myself a lot of stuff outside of class. He often didn't know what was on the slides until class and there were lots of mistakes on quizzes and tests. Super nice but unorganized.

Professor J is a lenient, but terrible teacher. He becomes upset when you ask questions and expects you to memorize reactions after seeing them 1 time without any, or minimal practice. His lectures are incomplete and scattered and I had to read the book on my own to understand and excel in the class. If you can, take the class from someone else.

Dr. J was very understanding about late assignments and made sure we got everything in for a grade even if it was past due. He seemed to grade more on completion and general understanding rather than accuracy. The labs were easy to follow and also not graded harshly. He was a little slow getting grades into D2L but this course was an easy pass.
