Reviews of professor Swati Gilotra

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Her lectures are insightful and help with response papers. Attendance sheets go out within the first 5 minutes so don't be late. Take notes and pay attention as the questions on the response papers are from class lectures. Overall, she is an easy grader, offers extra credit and encourages participation. Also cancels class a LOT so that's a plus....

Swati is a nice professor, however, she does not grade assignments until the last week of class. The readings were interesting but were sometimes assigned very last minute, like the night before class. Easy to take online. Assignments we had were class participation questions (short answer), reading response papers (2), midterm, final paper.

I absolutely love the way she teaches and explains even the most difficult topic with so much ease. She wants you to read everything but makes her class enjoyable.

I would recommend this class to anyone who wants an easy A. If you go to class, read the books, and study a little for the tests, you should have no problem finishing with a 100. She takes forever to grade things, but if you're willing to be patient she's usually pretty lenient on grading.

Swati is a great professor. I thought that she explained the readings well in class, but make sure you do read because she does sometimes make you write a paragraph or two about the reading as a reading check. I felt that she didnt grade too hard as long as you met her criteria. The class is a lot of reading but manageable.

Class was reviewing the assigned reading's themes (participation) with short written responses (attendance). Same assignments as other CMLT classes. There were hardly any rubrics and gave assignments without enough notice! Some readings are drags to get through and lectures felt redundant. Disorganization made this class stressful; otherwise okay.

Get ready for lots of reading. You're going to have to read a new piece every other day. Doesn't grade anything until the last week of the semester, so I currently have no clue what grade I have in the class. Lectures are quite boringshe just talks and writes on a board.

She doesn't give a clear grading criteria and this semester specifically, she's cancelled so many classes. It is reading heavy, but it's a literature class and the books are interesting if you are interested in this subject matter. She's not bad, but she's not great. She grades things super super late, but is an easy-ish grader

Swati is so nice! Her class seemed pretty intimidating at first, but once you talk to her it's a lot better. Lots of reading, which i enjoyed but I know some don't like so much so be prepared for reading on time. She was really nice to me when my partner for a project(accidentally) flaked. And the final project was really fun!
