Reviews of professor Sai Zadgaonkar

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Very hard to understand due to her accent, very complicated lectures, expects you to understand everything she covered in 2 hours and goes over multiple different subjects at once.

She is very knowledgeable in her profession but it is hard to understand her due to her accent. If you sit in the back you wont be able to hear her. Your grade is based purely quizzes and exams. She grades tough and the online timed quizzes are difficult. Even if you study and know the material well you will have a hard time with the exams.

By far the worst professor Ive ever had. She did not care about student frustration w having quizzes that had weirdly worded questions under a tiny time limit. Her study guides were copied straight from the textbook (that we didnt use) that wasnt reviewed AT ALL in lecture? Expects you to ALREADY know the material she wasnt really teaching.

it starts off nice and slow but I believe after ch. 5 You start doing 2 Ch a week. Not enough lecture time no time to ask questions. every 5 ch. you have a midterm. Final lecture exam is on all 20 ch., all multiple choice. Two practical exams Ill fill in the blank for labs. She extends Lecture times at last minute. NOT THE BEST 1Youll go crazy

I am not sure why prior reviews complained about her accent, but her accent is not bad. I actually find her slight accent quite soothing. I honestly appreciated how she gives brief lectures as she does the lab at the same time. It gives us more insight on what we are about to learn. Bio in general is NOT an easy class. You will have to study a LOT

She has a thick accent and is hard to focus on the topics she talks about. Says you don't need the book... but you probably will. If you are really great in Biology and have a good understanding of it, you can pass her class.
