Comment:
I took her class during spring quarter and she is such an amazing professor. she had clear grading criteria homework, participation, exams, and quizzes really matter in her class. Don't be scared to screw up an exam because she'll drop one of them. Overall she is very encouraging and generous while grading your exams. Def would recommend it.

She is easily one of my favorite professors because she is so helpful, clear, and coherent. She drops a limited number of quizzes, homework assignments, groupwork assignments, and one exam (which includes the final). If you don't attend classes or don't read the material that's given to you then good luck charlie.

I say she is a tough grader not because of her grading policy but because of how she grades exams. She is so harsh on exams that if you do not write EVERY STEP she will mark you down for that question. I got every question right on an exam but she still grade me a C because of my written work. Good teacher but tough grader on exams i think.

Professor V was very nice and I really liked her grading. There are 3 tests including a comprehensive final she drops the lowest exam so I didn't take the final and ended the class with a 98. She also drops your five lowest quizzes and multiple wamap homework assignments. She is also very happy to help you if you don't understand.

Comment:
2-3 WAMAP sets and most likely a quiz due on the same day each week. Sometimes group work too. WAMAPs range from 5-20 questions and quizzes are 3-4 questions. 3 exams throughout the whole quarter. I loved her grading system. She takes off your 4 lowest quiz scores and your lowest exam score. I didn't take the final and my final grade was a 99%.

Comment:
took precalc II online and asynchronous, it was very easy. There are three exams, some group work, but mostly quizzes and homework. She provided access to the textbook for free. My only complaint is that a lot of the problems on homework and tests aren't in the book, instead you rely on videos for most of the learning.

I took her online class Winter Quarter. In class, she spoke too fast and her notes were unorganized. The best part of her class was that there were 3 tests and she'd drop your lowest test grade, plus she dropped a few quizzes. The quizzes were really easy because they were based completely on the WAMAP hw. The WAMAP hw was a huge pain though

Comment:
Professor Venkatraman is a great professor. She responds to emails very quickly and she drops a lot of your worst assignments at the end. Her coursework consists of mostly homework and quizzes. I personally loved WAMAP and that's where most of the learning took place. It's mostly self-teaching and I recommend taking the class with a friend.

This professor knows how to get information across clearly in the most concise way possible. She assigns a lot of material but its not all necessary. She truly provides so many resources that you will pass the class unless you put no effort in. This is one of the easiest math classes Ive taken.

Professor V is amazing. If you've never been good at math take her. she will fix you. but you have to do the work too. Read ahead and that way youre ready for the lecture. do the homework on WAMAP. she allows 3x5 notecards on quiz's and tests and throws out your lowest score on both. if you have trouble understanding it, talk to her. Great!

Pre calc 2 is a very hard class in general but she helps a lot and is generally caring. Explains things pretty well but I would still get confused a little. The best thing is that every quiz was a group quiz and on every quiz/ major test we got to use a notecard and that really helped.

Instruction was not engaging, often straight out of the textbook, and hard to understand. Students were advised to teach themselves material that there wasn't enough time to cover. Srividhya is EXTREMELY knowledgeable; however, her teaching style needs improvement.

I hate to leave anything but a glowing review, because shes a good person and deserving of good things, but she seems to do the bare minimum and often disappoints. Shes rigid and often unhelpful. I felt like we were always behind the other classes and was often frustrated. I feel like shes burnt out on dealing with students.

Comment:
Worst math professor at Cascadia. Her modo is "suffering is the key to success" and if you ask her a question be prepared to stay confused. Also if you don't understand the material and are asking classmates for help she gets upset with you and questions why you don't understand the material because it's "it's easy,"

Prof. is usually good at explaining things, but sometimes she's confusing and gets impatient when you ask clarifying questions. Exams (50% of grade) weren't too hard; however, usually contained a few curveballs. WAMAP HW was 20% of grade, 4-6 quizzes (1 dropped) worth 25%, group work (basically show up to get group work points) 5% of grade.

I took this class over summer quarter and it was super easy. There's a lot of homework and one project to complete. Two exams and an optional final or final project which is worth 10% of your grade. If you're a self starter and good at teaching yourself I would recommend this class. She is very nice and understanding.

Awesome professor! You learn so much in this class and she always waits until the class truly understands the material before moving on. She cares a lot about participation and attendance, but with an engaging class it's not hard to do so! Awesome professor and I'll be taking her for future math classes.

I am a student who HATES math, but she made SATS something easy to understand. If you didn't finish your homework on time, she would give you more. She cares more about you understanding the material then the little calculations. She does have a thick accent, but you will never regret taking her class. She is willing to help if you ask for it.

I like the way she teaches the student. It is Asian style because she takes care of student as a kid. The exam is the same as the guideline. If you are an international student, take her class is the best way to have 4.0.
