Reviews of professor Abani Pradhan

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This has to be the most boring human on the face of the earth. He took attendance at the beginning and end of lectures on zoom, and he just reads off of the slides. On his tests he has the most detail oriented questions that literally mean nothing outside of this class. Otherwise he's an easy grader and most people do well, but at what cost?

We pay UMD thousands of dollars for him to read line for line from lecture slides. His thick accent requires several rounds of rewinding before understanding what is actually being taught. Teaching methods are not engaging whatsoever- he just spews out information for you to memorize. Wonder if he'd be willing to sit through his own lectures?

Was very knowledgeable and passionate when teaching the class. He does have an accent which can be hard to understand sometimes, but still his lectures were pretty interesting. NFSC112 was a very group project based class abd the entire discussion grades is dependent on your group. There are pop quizzes in lecture which are counted as completion.
