3 written reviews matching “Maitreyi Das”
Lovely and kind woman who really just wants the class to engage with her teaching. Tests were hard but fair and very easy to do well on if you really put the time and effort into them. She is much better than the other bio professors from what I have heard.
I was nervous going into this class that Dr. Das's class would be bad, but after taking it, the reviews were very wrong. Her tests accurately reflect the content we learned in class, and she doesn't want her students to memorize information, rather understand how things make sense in biology.
Bad teacher but tests are fair, and not weighted heavily. About 50 percent of your grade is in class Poll EV questions and homework (takes 5-15 minutes) if you attend every class, it is relatively easy to get an A.
