Reviews of professor Nisha Varghese

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Do not take Nisha!!! She is the least respectable professor Ive ever had! She will not let students ask questions in class and if you do she will laugh at you. Makes multiple mistakes when grading so you have to go through your exams to catch her mistakes! Very unreasonable and disrespectful. She does not care about her students.

Prof. Varghese is very unapproachable outside of class and has difficulty clearly explaining topics to students. Had trouble responding to emails quickly. Will never curve or give any extra credit- doesn't believe in giving students points "they don't deserve". Her grading is extremely hard and tests are tricky. Would not recommend.

I'll start off saying I succeeded in Orgo 1. I have never worked so hard for a course and failed so badly. She is an awful teacher, shows favoritism, tests are nothing that she teaches in class. Her classes once a week was absolutely horrible just stated what she said on the video lectures. Her video lectures were horrible.

While it's certainly difficult to do well in this class, it's not impossible. My biggest suggestion would be to do the readings well in advance. Her answers to questions aren't clear if you don't know the material already (which defeats the purpose of asking a question). Know the readings inside and out, watch youtube videos and you'll be fine.

Avoid taking organic chemistry with her. She's very unclear about what she expects, and makes the test difficult. No curving or extra credit offered.

Expects her students to be masters of a subject and will cancel review a few minute before it even begins.

I honestly think Varghese is AMAZING for lab. If you go to office hours per week w/ questions, she will help. Almost all of my labs were high 90s. It is hard with covid because there are no partners, however, you are still allowed to ask people in the class for help. She is so funny and wants you to do well in lab. My friends and I loved the class
