She is really mean. She yelled at me for asking questions about homework during office hours. Why does she even have one if she expects all students to understand everything in class ? one of the world teachers I have ever had at any school.

Somewhat hard to understand her English and she would talk very slow. I didn't really get anything out of her long boring lectures. I learned everything from the book. I can't recommend her.

Excellent professor. She knows her stuff and is able to get it across. Do not miss a class becuase she give pertinent information for the homework/test and that is how you get an 'A'. Very approachable so please use her office hours.

she is the best teacher in CS dept. she is helpful and she explains the material very well. if you do the homework assignments yourself, you won't have any problem in exams. the course is not easy but if you do your work you will pass the course very easily with very good grade.

She lectures well, but make sure to stay on top of the material - because it can become confusing at times. If you work hard and come to class regularly, you can easily get a B. The final exam is the hardest of all 3 tests.

Wow. Best teacher I've had at CSUF yet. Knowledgable, enthusiatic and clear with lots of explicit expectations. If you go the extra mile, she will too. I can't wait to take her 440 class. She is also strict, but that shouldn't be a problem if you're willing to put some time in to learn the concepts. She distributes her slides and has ex

If you're a diligent student, you'll do well in Barua's class; if you tend to be a lazy student, you'll get the grade you deserve. Barua's tough, but you learn a lot from her ... my first exam in 240, I got a 13 out of 25 (that was a C in her class). I ended up with a B in her course that semester.

Tests are horribly structured. Plan on losing 8% of your grade on 1 problem of the test. Says exam will be easy then more then half the class fails. Not very helpful, gets mad when asked about a subject then.

Comment:
This teacher is very arrogant; she has a bad attitude. On the first exam, the class average was a 14 out of a possible 25. For those of you who don't know (specifically the last person who rated her), that is an F. What does that tell you about this professor? Think about it. Don't take her.

Dr. Barua is such a wonderful, helpful, patient and talented Professor. I really admire her. Only hopeless students can say bad things about her because these students can't even grasp slightly difficult material.

Dr. Barua is the best TEACHER in the entire department. Top Priority: Do ALL the homework, read the chapters in the book (along with her lecture notes), meet with her during office hours (yes!).....exams are long and challenging!
