Reviews of professor Debidatta Mahapatra

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Put in the effort- easy A. He gives you clear/reasonable expectations from the start. Read a chapter prior to each class, quiz once a week after lecture. You have to read a chapter reading up to each class- and the weekly quizzes reflect the LECTURE- VERY EASY QUIZZES. He recycles questions for the mid/final, no reason to not get an A or B if lazy.

Dr Debidatta is a great Professor with a huge heart, he always understands and supports his students. Besides, he has huge experience in his field under his belt that makes him not only great Professor but credible critic as well. Definitely, Ill take his class again. Since Im an international student, his achievements served as inspiration.

Dr Mahapatra tries his best in class to explain concepts more simple to understand. In face to face class, we focused heavily on a certain chapter and would have discussion posts every week as well as simple quizes. Participation really matters and you will need to write an essay at the end of the semester, which can take up 5-10 pages.

Through the entire semester I was passing with almost a B-. Until the final paper he gave me a 60 and it brought my grade to a 68. I have emailed him numerous times to allow 2 points to pass. This whole semester was during COVID-19 and I still worked and he didnt care to help. He was rude and called students out on discussions. Dont take!

Online Class: He doesn't grade based on facts/grammar. He knit-picks for the perspective he thinks you should have from the book without providing detailed lectures. You teach yourself and guess what he wants to hear. TOO TIME CONSUMING. Prompts are unclear, no office hours, Dr. notes not accepted, & rubric wasn't available until the last month.

This class is just discussion posts, quizzes, a paper and a final. He grades to discussion post way to hard for no reason and I took this class online and so he doesnt teach at all and your teaching yourself. You wanna pass this class heres what You need to know apply realism, liberalism and constructivism to a conflict. Your welcome.
