Reviews of professor Shavila Devi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Devi is one of the few professors I have had that actually cared about teaching her students for their own benefits in the real world and future as opposed to just a grade. She takes the time to thoroughly go over lectures again and again in order to instill the methods in our brains and make it easier for us to understand. Shes the best!

She is a AWSOME professor. The class is difficult but very fair, if you study and do the homework and practice tests you will get an A. She is someone who prides herself on how well her class does and her class did very well. Our first exam had like a 94% pass rate compared to other sections who had I think around 60-70%. Ask questions too :)

Devi is most likely the best and i mean the BEST professor for math. She created a whole video lecture circclum outside of the class incase anyone was absent to be caught up in a breeze. Her teaching was also amazing. She never tested us anything she did not teach. On top of that she was always willing to help if you asked. There was lots of HW.

Biweekly homework. There will be no side convo or electronic devices allowed during class. However, she prints out lecture notes and allow tablet use for note taking. Her printed lecture note and explanations are easy to follow and you can easily tell that she actually cares about students. Probably my best professor at UIC so far.

Amazing professor who has extremely detailed yet concise lecture sheets for linear algebra. She did not allow the class to get off topic, and was always excited to teach the subject. You can tell she loves math and teaching, and is incredible at her job. Also, the study guides and exams are the exact same just with different numbers.
