Reviews of professor Sharmini Nair

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Ms. Nair is awesome! She's a really cool professor to have and is super useful. Play's Kahoot's for review, can ask questions for help with papers/tests, and really cares for her students. Get her if you can!

This is the third time I've had Sharmini and she never disappoints. Two group presentations, one fun climate conference activity, a research paper, and three tests made up the big grades aside from participation in class along with a reflection at the end of class. She's caring and wonderful to have had as a professor the last few years!

I really enjoyed her! She teaches in a way that makes you understand the material right when you learn it, so exams are pretty straight forward and easy. She also does 2 papers which her TAs grade and are easy if you don't put them off. She does reviews for exams with Kahoots, and she knows what she's talking about. Can sometimes come off rude.

She expects a lot of conversation with one another during lecture. Not bad at all just not my thing. Posts all the lectures and clicker questions online and the exams are solely based on those powerpoints so real easy to study! Very nice and even rounded up my grade at the end of last semester when I didnt even ask!

She seems strict at first, but the class is very easy and fun. She is funny and shows lots of videos to keep you engaged. She provides study guides that pretty much guarantee you will pass exams if you use them. She uses iclicker so you have to show up for class. No textbook, just small article readings before class

Nair is great. Lectures are prerecorded w/ additional interesting reading each week. There's 3 tests, study guides provided. Final's cumulative of questions from previous tests. 1 simple group project. She prepares you well for 1 large research paper at the end. Don't buy textbook- it's available for free online. I learned a lot + highly recommend!

I took Sharmini's class during the my freshman year. Tuesdays and Thursdays were the days I looked forward to most. Her class is both fun and informative. Shes witty and keeps the topics relevant. Attendance is a MUST. The clickers questions + the lectures help out A LOT. Speak up during discussions and she will never forget your name. Shes a gem
