Reviews of professor Debarati Basu

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I took the web design class online. Honestly, the way it's taught online is super easy and can be done at your own pace. It didn't really matter that Basu was the one teaching it. Although, I had a lot of professional experience going into this class. However, even I learned some things here and there. You'll have a semester-long project to work on

This class is definitely not an introductory class if you had no prior experience in java. Be expected to study and work a lot if you do not understand it. The professor is really nice and caring, she allowed me to turn in late work. As for her teaching style, not my favorite.

She made us do extra group activities that was unnecessary. W3Schools was pretty much my professor for this class because she never taught us anything. TAs were no helpful either they were down bad.

If you have knowledge of Java, the class will be relatively easy. You'll receive 1-2 assignments a week that you'll actually have to put thought into and the rest is just busy work and copying down code. The problem is she doesn't do any teaching. I had a very basic knowledge of Java and breezed through the beginning and then hit a huge wall later.

i don't understand the negative feedback. the class is very straightforward, the exams are the same kind of work you've done throughout the semester, nothing is a "gotcha", clearly explained. you need to put the time in. it's not a lot of time, i'd argue less time than most classes, but pay attention and work hard and you'll get an A. also zybooks.

I took her class and I hated it. I did not learn anything. Other students from other sections actually knew a lot more than me and learning from them was more helpful than learning from the instructor. NEVER TAKE HER.

If you do the work that is necessary, you will pass.

This class wasnt too bad. Very easy if you just show up and do the work. My main concern was that I was absent for two consecutive classes for a family emergency and I did my work remotely. Was still given 0s for the grade. I went to the last class (a makeup day) and I still had to debate why she should give me credit. She did give it to me though.

I took her for a 1000 level class and she was fine. This class though, absolutely terrible. Anywhere from 6-10 hw assignments a week. Terrible feedback, if I failed an assignment I would only get there are errors. Try to ask her anything and itll become a thing about how you should ask your classmates. Really wished this class wasnt required.
