She explains material really well but can be boring. She has the best examples and best suggestions for how to approach long problems. But at times it can be hard to concentrate when she overexplains some things.

Comment:
It's unfortunate that students do not get to pick their BDM prof. If you get Sapna, be prepared for a professor that reads off slides word for word, has a monotone voice and is extremely boring. She doesn't really care for the success of her students. She is not approachable whatsoever and when you do talk to her she's rude. RIP if you have her.

Bu275 is a really tough course but Sapna Isotupa makes sure that her students are well equipped with the skills that are needed to pass the course. The first half of the course is brutal and the second half is a lot easier. The assignments are also difficult, but if you go to her office hours and show that you have made an attempt she will help you

Comment:
Sapna is very clear and gives good explanations. Her examples and power points are superior to other profs and can help with the tests and assignments, but her attitude is another story. This course is insanely hard. The 1st half is incredibly difficult unless you are a complex problem solver. Assignments are very time consuming and hard to solve.

Got an A+ because she gave so much extra credit. very easy marker. Too bad most of the class were repeaters and gamers. All of us double degree students liked her classes.

Very organized. Gave lots of practise problems. Helped you if you showed you had tried. If you didn't read material before going to see her, don't bother going. Tough exams but gives extra credit.

Comment:
She teaches well, but her lectures can be boring and read right off her slide shows. She does not like to help students on her own time or even email them. Can be really rude, gives dirty eyes to students. Makes students feel incapable of things. Hard tests and hard marker (need the textbook to explain things she skips).

Had her in the Spring term for BDM, I thought she was a very good prof who explained things thoroughly and made it easier for students to understand concepts.

Very clear in lectures and gives detailed examples during class which SAVED me! She goes through things many times so you understand. So I recommend going to class. Tests aren't the easiest but she prepares people really well. Everyone wants to attend her review sessions.

I really like how she goes through problems thoroughly and has review sessions, gives handouts, things of that nature. She's helpful/cares about her students, IE she practically answered the questions for us for the Arena assignment when we went to office hours. Bless Isotupa

Good prof, she's very nice and learns everyone's name in her classes. She's a little hard to approach as sometimes she can be a little cold if she doesn't like your question, but other than that she's a very good prof! BDM is a hard course none the less, but she makes it a bit easier.

Notice how anyone who had her for BDM says she's okay and everyone with Stats hates her. Struggles to teach large classes, got rid of clickers just so fewer people would show up to class, thought a 59% class average on the midterm was fine. Mostly just reads the slides but she can usually tell when nobody in the class grasped a concept.

The previous posting was hilarious as he was clearly not making any sense with his comments. I had her for bdm, she was very well organized and clear. No handouts or bumping up grades. You get what you deserved. I bet the complainers are the ones with bad grades.

Great for a small-medium sized classroom setting, not so much for big lectures. Friendly if you talk to her one on one. Will help explain anything until you understand it.

this is possibly the worst prof ever. drop the class if you have her. she doesnt teach. she reads her slides and moves on without going into detail. just an overall terrible prof.
