Prof. Krishna is a great choice for 430. One of the better CBE professors. All lecture material was well-organized and clear cut, with many examples given in-class. Exams were difficult but fair and make up most the grade. Super nice guy.Rate My Professors ↗
Very knowledgeable in the course content and has very organized lectures! The homeworks can be difficult though so recommend going on office hours and reading the textbook for help. Only two midterms and a final so very exam heavy. Overall though, Prof Krishna is a good professor!Rate My Professors ↗
