Reviews of professor Naya Banerjee

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I had previously taken this class before and had to withdrawal. Professor Banjeree is so much better than my previous instructor. She did her best to make sure students understand the concepts and problems in class and did her best to answer questions.

Her class is all asynchronous, making her seem very lazy. She never answers any emails. Her quizzes do NOT match the lecture videos at all whatsoever. She sometimes does not even show up to office hours. She said she was going to host a zoom call to go over the exam and never showed up. She goes over problems straight from the textbook.

She is a fine professor but the class is very lecture dependent. Course material is pretty difficult but not really positively or negatively affected by the teaching. She followed very closely with the textbook so reviewing that before assignments was useful.

She doesn't have a good grasp on how to be a professor. Explanations in lecture were often confusing, and she doesn't seem to know how to assign reasonable homework problems. The pacing was very quick; she should've done more example problems than finish the entire syllabus a month before the final. Basically, be prepared to teach yourself.

This class was a nightmare. Recommended book was unhelpful. Feedback on hw was unclear, exams were graded harshly, never posted review material or answer keys. The prof would often get lost when proving things during lecture and waste a ton of time. Almost never answered emails and often reserved her office hours for her "other class." So bad.

I took Calculus 2 with her and she did not know what she was doing. Worked out examples straight from the textbook and often left problems incomplete because she was unsure on the final answer. She may be better at a different class but do not take her for calculus 2.

She was a pretty good teacher. She gave clear instruction, provided many examples, gave a good amount of practice for exams, and genuinely wants her students to understand the material.

Frequently shows up late to her own class. First one out the door. Tests are 80% of the grade, and they're nothing like the homework. Her "lectures" are loosely structured direct reads of the textbook. She said we wouldn't have a quiz, then we would have a quiz the next day, and vice versa. Brutally mean in her office hours, gets frustrated easily.

Terrible at grading stuff. 1st midterm and homework weren't graded until mid November. It was COVID time so at least could improve grade on Canvas quizzes but homework and exams had almost nothing to do with the lectures and quizzes. It may be because it was online, but the class is extremely tough and I'm usually A math student.
