Great professor - very understanding of student issues. There are short quizzes like in 303 but really they serve as a grade booster. He is a lenient grader.

AMAZING PROFESSOR. His lectures were easy to follow, and his course structure was very understanding of the student's time. Lectures were helpful and were all recorded (which admittedly made it very easy to fall behind in the class, which is not Shah's fault). There were weekly homeworks which had the potential to be challenging, but had unlimited attempts so they were very helpful, and there were short quizzes at the beginning of each lecture. There were two exams in this course, including the final, which seems daunting, but they were not only open note, but open internet as well so you could use the textbook as well as any online resource (although you definitely still have to study). Even after all of this, he curved the course very generously. Overall, if you can force yourself to go to class or are good about watching lectures on your own time, 100% take Shah.

Dr. Shah is a relatively new professor, which might raise a few questions about whether or not to take him. His classes would typically start with a quiz (pretty much every class); they were either quick calculations or multiple choice, so they weren't that bad. He would then teach his lecture and sometimes have an in-class exercise that would be due the following night. His lecturing was fine; he had a balance of providing information to write down and working through problems. Homework would be due once a week on ELMS, and while they could be tedious sometimes, there was unlimited submissions with no penalties. He had two exams with no final; each exam had 5 questions that were pretty fair and also open-book and open-resource. Dr. Shah definitely cares about his students, so if you are willing to put in the effort, this will be a manageable class.

Dr. Shah is a really great professor, and this was his first semester teaching here at UMD. You can tell he really cares about his students. Short quizzes at the beginning of every class, but they are not too difficult. Midterm was definitely fair. Overall, I've learned a lot and I'm happy I took him
