Her lectures can be a bit drawn out and disorganized at times, but you can tell her passion and knowledge of the subject.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Preeti is an awesome professor, but don't expect this class to be an easy A. You need to show up to class almost everyday to know what you will be tested on. The slides are just pictures and so you need to listen to what she is saying and take notes accordingly. If you do this and nothing else the rest of the week, you will easily get an A.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 3/5
Lectures at students for over an hour and complains that we aren't engaged. Gives harsh and unhelpful feedback. Doesn't put any words on the slides so you must pay attention. Exams/assignments are not all that bad, though.

I didn't receive any feedback on my final project. Also, many of the readings she assigns are quite dated.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
She presented the material in lectures with a limited amount of slides and no note help, so pay attention. Doing the readings didn't help too much. Lectures were more than often dry and boring, and grading for the exams and papers were done by a TA grader that came across a tad too harsh. Not a class I would strongly recommend.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 3/5
Class material was overall presented in an unclear way with little organization. If you pay attention in class and spend sometime studying the class is not too hard.
