I don't know what everyone's complaining about. I took her this quarter, and to be honest-- yes she has a tendency of saying um's and what not, but after a while, you get used to it. She is EXTREMELY friendly during office hours- and very very approachable. She smiles and even though not the funniest jokes, the effort is noticeable. The reading load is really not that bad--and unlike other classes it's quite interesting actually. The TAs can be difficult depending on who it is, but I had Angela and she was really friendly--just do your homework and do all of the readings, they can really be interesting. Go see Dr. Hong when you have a chance and just honestly, realize that this class is really interesting everything you learn is something quite new.

Winter 2016 - LOVED this class! Very interesting material that covered a lot of different aspects of the subject. Professor Mankekar knows how to keep things interesting and challenge her students to think beyond what we are normally taught to think. The readings were not bad at all, and discussion sections really helped to clarify the ideas. Lectures were interesting, as were the videos shown in class. My TA, Derek, was AWESOME. Highly recommend him! Exams were a breeze and Professor Mankekar and the TAs prepared the students very well. I would definitely take this class again, and I urge everyone else to take it too!
