Review #6

PH 108 [Basics of Electricity and Magnetism] - by Prof C.V. Tomy

Learning - "That the prof taught well, yes he is an awesome prof!, but giving marks was not his cup of tea. Adding to it is the policy of negative marking (-2 or -4) if u cribbed wrong ! :D what more do we want?
".
Course Load -
No partial marking at all.(Seriously, ask people)
+10 marks by TA(so total out of 110). A very weird way of grading. No one actually knew how the TA marks(10 marks ) were going to added
GRADING= rip off :("

Difficulty - 6/10
Professor - 8/10
Overall Course - 6/10

HS 101 [Economics] - by Prof Haripriya Gundimeda and Prof Pooja Padhi
Learning - A handful of you might have done Economics before, this course will be entirely new for you. Make sure you understand the concepts as Economics is very important in life.
Course Load - The easiest and most enjoyable course of your first year by far. No labs, no tutorials, no assignments.
Overall : you need to have a special talent to get below 8. Grade 9 is easily achievable. Just put in a little effort and you might see a 10 on your grade sheet.
Difficulty - 2/10
Professor - 8/10
Overall Course - 9/10

Review #2

CS 213 [Data Structure and Algorithms] - by Prof A A Diwan
About - Designing efficient data structure and algorithms.
Course load - Very less load if you are able to catch up in the class itself. If you want to prepare for coding contests etc then sincere efforts are required apart from the class. It was a minor course for me so the no of assignments were less but the level of the instruction was no less than that for CS major students. The exams are such that one wont be able to do a single question if one has not understood the material well.
Difficulty - 9/10
Professor - 10/10
Overall Course - 9/10
