Reviews of professor Sri Upadhyay

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
this class isn't bad, but she is not the best professor. she just seems pretty lazy and lectures on the same material but then tests on something she barely talked about. if you study the prep guides (17 per semester but she only grades 6) then you'll do fine but overall she is not a very good professor

Her lectures are boring and very repetitive. She seems super uninterested in the content she is teaching and like she doesn't want to be in class. She also diverts questions in class. You better to be ready to write down every word she says for the tests or good luck. Also not very helpful during office hours. Take something else if available.

Sri is the absolute best. I was really nervous to take Cognitive but she makes the information so accessible. It's an interteaching style class. There are PrepGuides due most classes and 4 exams. She wants you to succeed and is truly such a gem in the psych department. If you do the prep guides, go to class, and study you will do fine.

I would not recommend this class. Prep guides are due before each class but they are then graded for accuracy not completion, extremely hard grader on prep guides even though you fill them out before she has covered the material. Exams are wordy and difficult. Extremely monotone during lectures, you will be bored. Her TAs are not helpful.

This is a class that requires a lot of work but if you're willing to do it and passionate, it will benefit you. This class is not for someone who likes to get by with doing little to no homework. She knows her stuff and teaches it clearly and well, idk why people don't like her class. Do the prep guides and go to class and you'll do fine.

Love her. She's so nice and the class is fairly easy. PG's are always a pain but not bad with this class. Would def take it again.

5 tests in the class and prep guides for homework every night. Not super difficult content that we learn about, but there is just a lot of textbook reading. Sri also seems SUPER uninterested in teaching us about cognition and like she does not want to be there. Overall an okay class, nothing great but you'll be fine if you take it

Not my cup of tea. Weekly prep guides, peer discussion, exams, and two writing assignments make up your grade. The content is pretty easy, but lectures are boring and you have to write down every word she says. Sri is nice, but not very helpful in office hours. As long as you do the homework and go to lecture, you'll be fine.

Only weekly quizzes and interteaching with prep guides every week. Honestly not a bad class at all, and if you meet with Dr. Upadhyay she is extremely helpful and super nice. I mean it's a class of 80 students so it's as you would expect.
