Usually not terrible at math, but found this class was very difficult. Basic college algebra, but she is not good at teaching in class. She is a very harsh grader and puts untaught material on the tests

Just an all-around has teacher. Shocked she has a job at all. Do not assume youll pass if you work hard. She is a nut.

If you get past her accent, you truly realize how this woman does not know how to teach. The class began at 20 or so kids, then about 7 withdrew and more than half the class failed. thats all you need to know.

If you want an easy A and this is the only math class you need. Just take it. I can't understand her half the time but she writes everything on the board. It's all simple math and the math that I used to struggle with back in high school, was even easier and it was the first chapter we did. Easy A

Comment:
I get that Math 102 is a low level class, but do we really need to be relearning the properties of a triangle? No, I am not kidding. If you passed middle school math, you are going to be very bored. And then she wonders why people aren't coming to class. No practical applications AT ALL so far like the syllabus claims.

This is a sad excuse for a professor, taking MAT103 (algebra) with her and ive decided to just not show up to any more classes, she does not "teach" .I will take an exam today and turn it in with nothing but my name. She is a very bad professor. Her exams are very difficult compared to what you learn. Youwill end up studying in vain w/no reviews

Worst professor ever. You'll only pass if you have prior knowledge of what she is teaching. She doesn't tell you the right things to study, and will put things on the test that are in the next section and tell you "you should've been reading ahead." If you're good at math, it's an easy A, but if you actually need to be taught, don't take her class.

She's not a bad professor at all. She assigns homework just about every class, but doesn't check it. Don't take this as an opportunity to not do the homework! Even though it's not graded, it is very helpful to study from when tests are given. She has a thick accent, but if you read what's on the board, you'll be fine.

If you aren't an expert at Math, DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE. What is taught in class is not what is on the test. Does not review and barely tells you what is on the test.

Honestly, at first I thought it was going to be a great class. Once you take the first test you have no idea what you're doing because it's completely different than anything she teaches. It's very difficult and hard to understand.

Worst class I have ever had the misfortune of having to take. She is very old fashioned, very unwilling to help, strict, and nearly impossible to understand. She will teach you the most basic math in class and test you on things the math level above us doesn't know how to do. Also she doesn't respond to emails. Nice lady. Terrible teacher. Avoid.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. The majority of the class is struggling to get a good grade on algebra, which should seem easy. She confuses everyone more than helping. Has a thick accent but it is manageable. Her tests are very tricky and it is not easy to pass even if you know the material. DO NOT TAKE, YOU WILL HAVE TO TEACH YOURSELF EVERYTHING.

People seem to hate Duvvuri, but I had a thoroughly painless experience with her. Her accent is thick, but she is always willing to repeat herself. She will gladly provide help if you are struggling; you simply have to ask. She does not collect any homework so be sure to pay attention or practice on your own. If you fail, it's totally your fault.

Honestly, she is a very nice person and professor. Yes, she does have a thick accent but if you ask for help she will always repeat the steps in the problem. If you get a bad grade in her class it is your own fault. I've taken her class twice and got A's both times. Pay attention and you will do fine.

This class was boring. If you don't have an understanding of the class beforehand then you probably wont do too well unless you can learn from the book. I noticed she doesn't really try to help the students who are struggling.

Easy class. She does have some accent, but I had no problem with it. All you need do to do well in this class is to listen, do the work, and do well on the tests and finals. Decent professor

She does roll call every class so I wouldn't miss if I were you. She's not very americanized and has a thick accent. She's not mean, but a better professor would definitely be more ideal if you need explanation. I got an A in her class and I literally sat in the back on my phone every time.

She is such an easy professor. I found her tests really easy and got A's on all of them. As long as you pay attention somewhat you should be okay, the material is not hard at all and I would recommend her for an easy A. She doesn't go around to check homework, but you do have to put problems on the board every now and then.

Worst professor ever. Can’t teach and you barely understand what she’s saying. Tests are hard. If you mess up on one test, you’re definitely not getting a good grade in the class. Taking her is like your asking to fail. Her first test is always easy, so dont think its a easy A class.

Absolutely horrible professor. Managed to get an A because of prior math experience. Difficult to understand. Horrible explanations. If you want to teach yourself and struggle, take this class!
