A good teacher. Going to office hours helps a great deal and she's a very kind and caring person. Absolutely helped me learn when I was having a rough time.

Dr Renuka is a very nice person, and an excellent teacher. Extremely helpful, and cares a lot about her students. You do need to keep up with the work, though. It's very easy to fall behind if you don't manage your time well.

Dr. R is a good Physics professor and I learned a lot about Physics from her, however, I felt as if her tests were a stark contrast from the material that she taught us in lecture. I felt as if the lecture content were oversimplified and the exam material over-complicated. The assigned homework also did not aid in learning material from class.

Probably my favorite professor at UMass. I've taken several of her courses, and liked all of them. A very good teacher, and one of the most caring souls I've met.

RR is dope. Her lecturing style is pretty standard: introduce a concept, work on an example, use that to build into the next concept to learn. What sets her apart is her ability to clarify or otherwise explain differently what may not be understood the first time around. Ask questions in this class and you'll probably get a great answer.
