Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
her lectures are awful. very strict on grade.I would never take her course again

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is not good at teaching or explaining. She actively confuses us, fails to teach us how to use the program (we just copy what she puts on the board), and refuses to answer questions or help (and she will tell you so). Her grading criteria is very unclear. You'd better hope Puthoff comes in to help, or you're going to be very lost.

If you did well in Physics 1520, you will be ok for most of the semester since it is a review from that class. Her explanations aren't always clear, but I went to office hours a few times and she was willing to explain everything a few times. Offers extra credit in every exam, and is an easy grader. One of the best professors I have had at CPP.

Dr. Dasamoni was great this semester. She was available and extended projects to help with the workload. Industrial Engineering majors have to take this class, and I'm sure the negative reviews she's received are from them. In my experience they are not prepared for chemical engineering difficulty. Very easy for a circuits course.

Very messy lecturer and has a clear gender bias favoring male students. Very inconsistent grader and gives no rationale/rubric for assignments. One of the worst professors I have had at cpp but was the only option. First half of the semester was well paced and a review of physics but as the semester neared the end, she rushed through new material.

Her lectures are so messy and she loses track sometimes mid class of where she was. She does care about students and encourages everyone to review slides etc. before her test. She gives 2 Midterms and a final. She seemed nervous at times about teaching us and rushed through sometimes. Felt like I taught myself alot outside of class.

Professor Dasamoni is very knowledgable with using an Arduino & Coding it. She can be very nice and wants the students to learn. The problem is that she doesn't teach well and expects you to already have knowledge on coding which almost everyone didn't. Majority of the grade is from in class demos and lab reports. Easy pass but I don't recommend

Her tests and assignments are very straight forward but her lectures get really boring sometimes, doesn't help that attendance is graded.

While the class itself isn't hard (circuits and Arduino-related topics), this professor managed to unite all the lectures and lab sections she taught through the one common hatred for how terrible she was as a professor and how unnecessary hard she makes her classes to be (our Discord chats were very much active). Just pick Puthoff.
