Dr. Khurana is an amazing professor. She genuinely cares about each student and wants everyone to succeed. She goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone understands the content and contextualizes it making it easier to understand the applications. She is extremely reasonable with the work and constantly takes feedback in class to see what she can improve on her end. She also gives exams from previous semesters which is structured very similarly to the exams making it very easy to study. Overall, I feel that most if not all students can succeed in her class especially with the resources she provides such as GSS leaders and AMPs. Definitely recommend her for any math course!!

Professor Khurana is one of the best professors at this school. Her lectures are very engaging, with extra credit all the time. She goes through class assignments and answers in class. and there are R assignments every week, but she posts a walk-through on how to do them, which makes it super easy, basically copy-paste. She also dropped the lowest homework and class assignments, and for my class, she dropped 2 R assignments simply because someone asked. She is always asking what she can do better and when someone suggests something, she actually does it. 10/10 class. Easy A if you attend some lectures.

Professor Khurana is very nice and cares about her student's success in the class. I didn't attend lecture very much but Dana, the GSS leader, is an amazing teacher and Dr. Khurana's homework and posted notes make the content easy to understand. As long as you do the homework in the assigned timeframe, and do the practice tests you'll probably get an A. The practice exams are GOATED since they're practically identical to the actual exams.

Her class is super easy if you take notes and participate. Her midterms are exactly like the previous exams that she posts online which is nice. Just study those and you'll get an A. The R assignments are difficult if coding is not your specialty, but the TA in my discussion was very helpful! She is a great professor, super sweet, and likes to give out extra credit which is always a bonus!

Great professor who is really kind and goes above and beyond to help her students. Class Structure: - 3x week lectures (not mandatory but recommended to stay on track)(all notes posted on ELMS) - 1x week discussions (mandatory most of the time when there is graded group work and quizzes) Exams: - 3 Midterms - 1 Final - 3 Quizzes (during Discussion) - 4 Graded Group Work (during Discussion) * The midterm and final have several practice tests from years before that she shares which are basically the same as the actual exam with different numbers- very easy* Homework: - 2-3 MyMathLab Assignments per week (not due until the next midterm so have lots of time to work on it) Overall, great professor that cares about her students and their learning very much, highly recommend for MATH 120.

Dr. Khurana was great for MATH423 especially considering how new the course was. The materials were exceptionally well organized. The coursework was reasonable and her grading was lenient. There were 2 midterms and a final, with formula sheets allowed for each exam and the lowest assignment grade dropped. Her pacing was consistent throughout the course and she was very patient with students in class. All of her notes were published on ELMS and she gave frequent office hours. It’s clear that she cares about the topics she teaches. While the course is elective, I’d definitely recommend taking it if the topic sounds at all interesting to you.

Dr. Khurana was a great for STAT401. This course involves several take-home quizzes, worksheets and 6 projects along with 2 midterms and a final exam. You are allowed cheat sheets for all of the exams and the lowest grade in each assignment category is dropped. Pros: - Good instruction: Dr. Khurana provided a great balance between teaching the course content and doing examples. I was always pretty clear on the steps involved for each type of problem. Additionally, she posted her supplementary notes online. - Well-prepared with HW: The worksheets had problems that were similar to those in class, and the quizzes had more conceptual concepts. Together, they were great for understanding the course material and preparing for exams. - Fair exams: The exams were always comprised of problems similar to practice exams, worksheets, and those we did in class. As long as you had all the required formulas on your sheets you should be set to do well on them. - Nice person: She tried to get to know most of the people in the class and was always striving to be helpful and fair. Cons: - Her teaching style relies heavily on interaction with the class. For example, she will occasionally ask the class which notation goes in an equation, what value in the Z table we should look for, etc. It can be a little awkward if the class doesn't know or if you prefer lecturers that just go on nonstop for an hour. Otherwise, this is not really a problem at all, just something to note. Overall, this class was interesting and fair throughout the whole semester. I would highly recommend STAT401 with Dr. Khurana.

She is a great professor and really cares about her students. Her lecture notes are great, exams are fair, and she gives good practice material. The only reason I did not get an A- in this class is because of the daily homework. My learning style and general preference in classes are ones that are exam heavy and don't give busy work as I generally forget to do a lot of the hw. I can't blame archana for this but if you are anything like me, maybe reconsider because you will end up losing 3-4% from your final grade if you are bad about remembering to do daily hws. If you are more organized and less forgetful than me then take her 100% because she's great.

If she's teaching a math class that you need - take her. She makes everything simple to understand. She explains concepts for the first part of the class, and then walks you through problems on her iPad for the second part. Regarding exams, she lets the class know during the review class what types of problems to be familiar with for the exam. The class averages were very high for the first two exams. The third exam was tough because it covered a lot of material. All of the exams were friendly in terms of difficulty - including the final. It seemed to me that she wanted everyone to succeed.

A very organized professor who cares about her students. This year she started posting notes before a class start so that during class you can follow along more easily. Her midterms are very fair since she gives a lot of practice exams/materials. And she took time outside of class to host review sessions for the final so the students would feel less stressed. Imo, she's just one of the nicest professor out there:)

Archana gave us 3 mid terms, with the first having an avg 90%+. However, this was only because she virtually gave away the questions and they were just different numbers. However, exam 2 and 3 could not be any different, as the grades were significantly lower. There was one question on exam 3 that we had seen one time from a one off extra review section. Archana's voice is extremely high pitched, and on top of this all she repeats herself up to four times, to a 200 person lecture hall. This almost became a game between my friends and I, as we would take small bets as to how many times she would repeat herself on a given problem. She would also post her notes, which were helpful, as she would also post her filled out notes.

Do not recommend. Overall class was organized and had good structure but she was not a good lecturer. She was confusing and hard to understand on occasion. TA sessions were useless because they both were equally as bad as explaining content. Only good thing was the AMP sessions. Her AMP Dana was fantastic and a great resource throughout the course.

The lectures are intuitive and well-planned, with the exams similar to lecture examples and practice exams. If you come to lectures you will do well in her class.

Professor Archana is a very nice woman. However, I really do not believe she is the best at teaching. It seems like she teaches the material like we should already know it, which for some people, is not true. She can be kind of confusing when explaining information during lecture, and most of the time I did not know what was going on. I learned most of the content during discussion classes with the TA and through other people. However, Professor Archana is super accommodating and is very open to helping her students since she truly wants them to succeed. This being said, I don’t think she’s necessarily the best professor, but I think she is the best choice for MATH120. I would recommend asking for help from the TAs and attending the AMP sessions, since those helped me a lot throughout the semester.

I don't usually write reviews but I had to write one for Ms. Khurana because she is one of the best professors I have had at this school so far. I initially took MATH120 with Mr. Timothy, however, I dropped it after the first exam in his class since his teaching methods were not my way of learning. Upon reviewing the ratings for MATH120 classes I saw that this professor had the most rating, so I took her, one of the best decisions ever. Her exams are literally the same as her practice exams. She just changes the numbers, but the concept is the same. After the first exam in her class, I honestly rarely showed up in her class for lectures and I did fairly well. For the third exam, I did not go to her lecture for any of the material on it but I got a 95% for that exam. I used mathlab to help me and I practiced the practice exams to know what to do. If you are thinking about taking her, DO IT! It will be worth it! After taking this class with Mr. Timothy, I thought it would have been very hard, but in reality, Ms. Khurana made learning in the class fairly easy.

As most other reviews say, she is extremely nice and helpful. I had friends taking STAT401 with other professors at the same time and it seems to be much more work with others. Quizzes and worksheets are almost entirely multiple choice with six VERY simple projects. We were allowed to choose the software we used but she said she will be switching to Minitab next semester for the projects to be more inline with her lower-level courses. Exams you have cheat sheets, so it is very low stress around exam time. Highly recommend her for STAT401.

I was able to do well in this course since I took Calculus before, but definitely would have struggled a lot if I hadn't. Because of this, I didn't really attend lectures and felt like reviewing the textbook was more informational. Professor Khurana isn't the best teacher, I was only able to understand concepts more through the AMP sessions. Her lectures include problems that seem easy, but then you look at the review for the tests that include ones 10x harder and feel like you're screwed. Just make sure you study a lot for the exams since they're worth a pretty large portion of your grade, and you should do well. Overall I would say her grading policies are pretty accommodating and for your lowest-scoring exam; she drops the grading scale from 100 to 50, but her teaching style isn't so great.

Archana is really nice, caring, and accommodating to students. She went over linear programming problems (LPP) for minimization and maximization, the simplex method, the Big M method, the dual of a primal LPP as well as their relationship, transportation problems, transshipment problems, assignment problems, traveling salesman, and integer programming. There are bi-weekly homework assignments (5 HWs each around 3-4 problems as determined by a majority vote by the class) along with some short classwork and take-home quizzes (2 classwork sheets and 2 quizzes). The homework, classwork, and quizzes are worth 30%. There are two midterms, each worth 20%. The final exam is cumulative with more weight put on the second half of the semester. The final is worth 30%. Archana also gave us an optional extra credit project where we had to program a function to solve the traveling salesman problem (I didn't do it but I overheard from some classmates that it was challenging). Overall, the grading was very lenient and the course content itself was not too difficult, provided that you know some basic linear algebra. You only had to get a 92% to get an A in the class so I believe that many students did fairly well.

One of the best instructors at UMD. She is so kind and understanding and truly cares about her students performing well. She is also exceptionally responsive to student feedback which is rare. We had two exams and a final. Homework is reflective of lecture examples and exams are in turn reflective of the homework, quizzes, and practice exams. So basically, no surprises. Quizzes are timed usually 10 to 15 minutes for one or two short questions and based directly on the material taught in class, so I’d highly recommend reviewing your lecture notes before attempting them. She also posts all her handwritten lecture notes on Canvas, which is super helpful, especially if you aren’t the best notetaker. 10/10 would take again and recommend to anybody choosing between professors!!

overall: professor khurana's class is overall really easy as long as you put in the effort. she does have a thick accent which can make hearing her in lectures hard, but she goes very slowly so it's easy to keep up. her practice exams are exactly the same as the test, so if you keep doing them until you get 100%, you'll ace every exam. for me, the downside of the class was the r-assignments that would take so much time for no reason. you would get time to do them in discussions but my TA was honestly incompetent so he was no help. just go to her office hours if your TA is useless and she'll help you with the r-assignments if you're having trouble. the class is also really easy if you took AP Stat in high school. recommendations/heads up: she records like 60% of lectures (and if the class asks her to record she will), discussion didn't attendance for me, if even one person asks for an extension she'll extend assignments for everyone (so almost every assignment got an extension lol)

Professor Khurana is a very sweet and lenient professor. I did not consider myself a math person but I found myself loving this class! Lots of potential for leniency (multiple tries on homework, very lenient about pushing back due dates, etc). Exam questions are easier than homework questions. Weekly quizzes in discussion sections (1 week individual, 1 week group) are easier than they sound (the TA's will explain the exact style of questions on the quiz) and very helpful in retaining class material.

She is a lovely woman! She has a very thick accent so it can be kind of hard to understand her but its easy enough. In class, she mostly just writes problems and you copy stuff down which makes it hard to learn, but if you go to her office hours, she's always happy to answer any questions and help you. You have groupworks or a quiz in almost every discussion section but she drops the lowest one at the end of the semester. HW assignments are virtual on MyMathLab but you have 3 attempts on every question and the ability to see an example worked through. She also drops your lowest 3 homeworks at the end of the semester too. She was very lenient with deadlines for the homework so if you have an issue, just email her. Exams were straight forward, just make sure you do the exam review guides that she posts before them. TA's give partial credit for so many questions on exams so as long as you try and at least write something, you'll get some points for a question. 10/10 recommend her.

Very nice professor that cares about her students. Lectures were recorded and she would give an ELMS quiz after learning new chapter content in class. We also had weekly ELMS worksheets. It seems like a lot of assignments at first but she would go over the questions in lecture. Exams had the same topics as practice exams, was open book, and gave us all day to complete it. Would answer emails regarding questions fairly quickly and would not hesitate to help.

I've struggled in other math classes up until this one, but she really takes the time needed to have everyone understand the topics and parts that build up to a new topic. Haven't needed to but I would feel very comfortable going to her if an issue came up as well

Really cares about her students performing well. She will add extra credit and assignments to help students. Her lectures are easy to follow and follows the textbook well. Taking her again for STAT410.

Very standard professor. She's very nice and considerate, but also isn't amazing. She lectured from notes and sometimes it felt like she wasn't as fluent in the theory as the applications.

She might be new but don't let that scare you off; Archana is a great instructor. Her explanations are easy to understand and she works though tons of examples in class. Exams were fair and you generally know what to expect on them. She also genuinely cares that people do well in her class. Don't be surprised if you go to office hours after an exam and she already remembers what mistakes you made. I did a double take the first time but honestly it's pretty refreshing in a huge school like UMD.

Her test are fair and she holds more office hours/review sessions than you could ever dream of going to. She will do anything to make sure you succeed.
