Reviews of professor Anushree Vichare

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This class needs improvement. She is not good at time management, reads directly from her dense, info-packed, repetitive slides, demonstrates little critical thinking, and spends little time explaining important concepts. What she says during lecture does not match her slides. I should have dropped this class and run for the hills.

In terms of the core, this class falls on the more difficult side due to the TAs and her being selfish. Does not respond to emails and automatically gives students low grades. The TAs probably act like this since they want to be at the top of the class without any competition. This is one of the most difficult courses offered by the school.

I am not sure what she is expecting from us. She told us that she loves dense information but when we included dense information we were penalized by her and the TAs with a nonpassing grade. Instructions for policy memos are not clear making it difficult to come up with a problem statement, background, landscape, options, and recommendations.

Visiting student from UMD. I attended one of her classes at GW and have a few comments. First the lecture seemed disorganized with repetitive information. Second she seemed defensive when students ask her questions. I cant imagine having her for a full semester.

Subpar professors teaching the course with subpar TAs. It is difficult to reach any of them both in and out of class which results in lower grades on assignments. Sample policy memos do not help due to the options and recommendations only being five lines. Both the professor and TAs are not that nice in general. A poor experience.

At first she seems like an ok professor with clear lesson plans. However, as the semester progressed she got more disorganized and defensive to the extent that getting poor grades is normal. I think she just wants to prove that she has the skills of being an assistant professor by making the class more difficult than usual.

This class is difficult. You have to be quick in order to succeed since exams which are worth a chunk of your grade and consist of 2-page policy memos where you have to write a problem statement, analyze the problem, and provide recommendations for unknown issues like obesity and taxing artificical sweetener beverages. She is not helpful.

Assignments for this class are not graded leniently. She probably told the TAs to step it up.
