Reviews of professor Prerna Gera

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Not the most experienced professor, but ultimately did a good job.

Does not care about giving good lectures. Around a quarter attend them. Lectures, homework, and even quiz do not come close to the difficulty of exams. As others said, TA are smart but they are in the Math Dept so not the best teachers. Super low sympathy for anyone struggling or with conflicts. This class is an afterthought for her.

Definitely was a new professor. Lectures were boring and she went way too fast. Homework wasn't too hard, but it was tedious and took 8+ hours. Mine was due Mondays while other people had it due Wednesday - whenever your discussion was scheduled. Midterms were fair, but the final was awful. Really liked multiple choice for some reason.

Easily the worst professor I've ever had in my life, no one else even compares. Makes the tests so much harder than the quizzes and homework. Usually are given something that you've never seen in class, which is just not how you should be graded. I saw the bad reviews on this teacher and decided to take the risk and hope for the best. I regret it.

Avoid at all costs. Couldn't listen to her lectures because she constantly breathes into the mic, never communicates with students, exams were nothing like any of the examples in her lectures, discussion worksheets, or quizzes. Does not care about her students and TA's are really no help what so ever.

The lectures are so boring, and Prerna has no control over any of her classes. She often makes mistakes during the lectures she is giving, so make sure you're paying attention to correct her. She also takes off a lot of points for minuscule errors, so make sure you show each step of your work. The material is boring, and so are the lectures.

Tests (especially the final) were impossible, homework took 10+ hours every week to do, extremely repetitive, the lectures were impossible to understand, and no matter how much work I put in to the class, it never showed up in the grades.

Read the reviews and decided to take 213 since I needed it. Lectures are terrible. You can hear breathing/swallowing into the mic, so read textbook. Homework is simple but quizzes and exams are brutal (nothing like the lecture). Can't see your grade all semester and they don't let you see the average grades either. Got an A and wouldn't recommend

Please dont take a class with this teacher if you can. She doesnt tell you your grade all semester and her lectures are boring. Worst teacher Ive ever had a UW
