Reviews of professor Om Rajora

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He has butchered this course that is mandatory for forestry students. Lecture slides are full of text or diagrams that he either reads directly from or does a poor job of explaining. I spent more time teaching myself using Khan Academy. Highest mark in the full class on both midterms was a 76. Labs are lead by the TA who is much more approachable

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures were repetitive and subjects were not effectively explained, lecture slides were text-heavy and monotonous. Assignments had little relation to lecture material, and exam material was not clearly outlined. Professor Rajora is a kind and intelligent academic, yet his teaching ability is subpar. Do not take this course unless it is mandatory.

I do not question that he is an established academic, but the guy needs to be in a lab doing research, not teaching new forestry students. Constantly berates his students for not understanding complex genetic and physiological processes. This course is pure memorization and regurgitation. Content largely irrelevant to 90% of forestry jobs.
