Reviews of professor Suparna Bakaya

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Extra credit options to improve score, but I didn't find the prof overly helpful. It was online via launchpad which is easy enough, but there's no lectures which is annoying as it's simply reading a powerpoint and the textbook. She could at least record a weekly lecture to play with the power points so it seems like she's actually teaching.

Took her for Psych 1115 (online) & 1215 (at Langara). Lectures are pretty monotonous and sometimes she rambles but the class is relatively easy to do well in. Group research papers in both courses & small discussion writings for every chapter (online). Reading and studying only the textbook will still get you a relatively decent mark.

Complete honest review. listened to lectures, skimmed the chapters before midterms. Follow term paper instructions carefully, and find a good group? You're set. To be honest, rely mostly on lectures or the book whichever is best 4 u and you'll be fine. both aren't necessary. (tho attendance is taken). Easy A if done right

Lectures are pretty boring, but Suparna is actually really friendly. 2 midterms, 1 final (non-cumulative), 1 group research paper, and some small quizzes and discussion posts not worth a lot. All the midterms/exams are around 90 m/c. Study the textbook hard and you'll do fine. The research paper is pretty straightforward too.

I enjoyed Dr. Bakaya's lectures because she uses her life's stories and examples to explain concepts in the class which makes the class very interesting. She makes a comfortable space for her students to share their thoughts and is very caring. I would love take another class with her. Also, READ THE TEXTBOOK for an A+.
:D

Suparna has a strong accent and she speaks fast, for me, as an international student, it was challenging. She had like 80 slides per lecture and we usually cover only 20 in 3 hours, you doing a lot of reading yourself. It was easy, though to get a good grade for the paper, she is not too strict.
