Class always had interesting content and she's a great speaker. The class wasn't challenging but I always appreciate a professor that actually teaches me new concepts in an engaging and educational way.Rate My Professors ↗
She creates a very positive and welcoming classroom environment and is approachable when students need help. Her lectures are engaging, and she explains concepts clearly with helpful examples that make the material easier to understand. I found the course enjoyable and would recommend taking her class.Rate My Professors ↗
Uchita is the most amazing professor I've ever had. DS 221 is such an interesting class, and her lectures are excellent. She responds to emails super fast, is always available outside of class, super knowledgeable, and is just a fantastic person overall. Plus, she even wrote a recommendation letter for me—truly a GOAT.Rate My Professors ↗
Lecture attendance isn't mandatory and she posted the lecture on canvas anyway. Discussions are more tedious than the lecture itself. Depends on your TA.Rate My Professors ↗
Knowledgeable, passionate, and cares about her students! Graded only on 3 exams, 2 projects, and Discussion participation. Covers fairly simple material on the posted lecture slides, but worth attending lectures only to take notes on specific studies about concepts, which are asked on exams. I only used the readings for evidence for the projects.Rate My Professors ↗
Great professor! Easy to do well in the class if you pay attention to lectures and go to discussion.Rate My Professors ↗
