Reviews of professor Tara Menon

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Really engaging professor, I learned a lot about myself from the course. Deadlines are flexible and she is quite understanding. I actually enjoyed writing in this class.

She claims that students shouldn't cater to a certain professor's opinion but then tears apart your paper if she doesn't agree with what you're saying. Completely contradicts everything learned in Composition II at Fordham, very confusing and makes you work for your grade.

I took Professor Menon at Baruch College instead of New School, during this fall semester. First of all, she is outstanding and like the others have mentioneda true intellect. If you cannot understand her well, let her know. She is willing to accommodate and she understands the stresses that students undergo. Take her!

Classes are mostly discussion based, so make sure you read all of the given texts. Also, she gives a few writing prompts, and 3 papers. You can redo them as many times as you want. She gives really good feedback as well and is open to talk about your paper.

Prof. Menon is a super sweet woman. She's passionate and wants her students to be passionate. That said, if you're not, she'll probably be upset. The readings are super long and she expects participation from everyone, everyday. There's no clear structure to her syllabus or grading, but she'll give you as many extensions and rewrites as you need.

Tara was awesome for FYS. Super kind, intelligent, and discussions were fruitful. Very very light workload, which could be seen as good or bad. I would take her again for sure. Very understanding.

I took Prof. Menon my 2nd semester as a first year and Im so happy I did. She is genuinely the easiest prof. i've had so far. Each week we have short readings (poems, essays, etc.) for hw and we discuss it in an engaging class conversation. Her deadlines are flexible so for the 3-4 papers we write, there is no hard deadline. TAKE THIS CLASS!

Professor Menon is a stand out, a true scholar and intellectual. She has an excellent grasp of her syllabi, and makes excellent use of time in class with writing exercises and discussions. The essays are challenging if you miss class, but her courses will without a doubt make you a better writer and critical thinker.
