Easily the worst professor I've had in my entire college career. Lectures were confusing and rushed, with little to no worked examples. Grading felt harsh and unpredictable, and it often seemed like students were being set up to struggle rather than supported to learn. Avoid this professor at all costs.Rate My Professors ↗
I thought she was very unhelpful as a professor. For the course project (group project), she would give feedback, we'd make changes accordingly, and then we would get an even worse grade on the next deliverable. She also accused my team of using AI to write our report when we did not. Her grading was very difficult and felt unfair.Rate My Professors ↗
Awful professorRate My Professors ↗
I genuinely enjoyed having her as a professor. Gave 100% on all class activities and truly does care about the subject. Exams are harder than past semesters and definitely not an easy A. Math and physics were present and probably should've been presented better for those who didn't learn prior to class. Might be too elementary of a class for her.Rate My Professors ↗
Dr. Mehta is the worst teacher I have ever seen in college. Her slides are hard to understand, she doesn't explain all the content, some of it needs to be read by yourself. Her exams will have some strange theories, you need to review 100% of the content to notice it. Avoid her, Avoid her, Avoid her!!!Rate My Professors ↗
I believe Dr. Mehta is an expert in Human Factors, but she is really a poor lecturer. She seems disengaged from teaching. The lack of homework makes exams hard to prepare for and her slides are very rough, missing answers for examples. Exams are difficult too. While the TA and Co-Teacher are kind and helpful, I wouldn't recommend taking her class.Rate My Professors ↗
