Ma'am continues to spread her knowledge and experience even after the 1st semester and keeps on motivating us to do better each day. Ma'am is a perfect example of a kind professor and this felicitation should definitely go to her only.’‘The teaching style of ma'am where she's so passionate and enthusiastic in every lecture is commendable! She not only makes you enjoy the subject but also makes sure that each person leaves the class with some learning! Her ultimate goal is to make you understand rather than just grade you for the sake of it. Also, she encourages and updates us with lots of opportunities every now and then!’‘Great teaching style, took care of the understanding of the subject by each and every student, interacted personally in her extra time even if we had doubts and explained to us till the time those doubts had been absolutely cleared. She also suggested to us extra reading materials or any other piece of relevant information she came across which would help us in our career. She is the most diligent, sincere and interesting teacher I have had in my entire educational journey. She is so dynamic and definitely knows how to keep her students engaged, awake, and interactive even in online classes.’
