Reviews of professor Naga Damaraju

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Damaraju is a very caring teacher that wants her students to get the most out of her classes. 452 was a lot of group discussions in class and canvas posts. You'll have one large group paper and presentation at the end of the semester and smaller posts due throughout the semester. I think almost all the class got A's.

Grade relies heavily on group work. Doesn't teach instead you buy articles and textbook to learn the concept. Big Final group recorded presentation and long essay. Group work is challenging to complete because there is a pandemic and you have group members who slack. Individual Final exam the day the presentation/essay are due.

Professor Naga is amazing! She is so passionate, and truly cares about her students getting the most out of her class. She may be tough to understand at times, in which you must be very attentive. Read the case studies, come to every class, be ready for discussions, do the assignments, and you will get a good grade. Thumbs up for Professor Naga!

Naga is a very sweet professor and she really does have the students best interests at heart, she's also very understanding of outside circumstances. This class is all group work, group papers and presentations. Guidelines are somewhat unclear for these assignments

Super nice, one of my favorite professors at Sonoma. She's very encouraging and responds to emails fast. She provides a detailed syllabus so you can prepare in advance for tasks. The business seminar is mostly group projects so choose your team well. I would highly recommend taking her for this class.
