Reviews of professor Shahin Kachwala

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
super hard grader. doesn't really teach, just has an open discussion with whole class so she never really teaches the main points of articles & just makes us talk. u need to talk to get participation or you'll probably fail the class. exams were super hard because she never does review or is clear on the main arguments. good luck

While she is nice, she gives an extreme amount of reading . She also makes you do ten summaries and doesnt give feedback to help you improve. Participation matters a lot and you have to do the readings. Overall an okay womens studies class but does make you stress a bit.

Dr. Kachwala is a very nice professor, who really wants the students to recognize the power of this class. The class definitely discussed some more harder to deal with topics, but she always created a safe atmosphere. Participating will help you understand everything better, you will be able to connect the class to your own life which is cool.

mostly every class was started with a "writing burst" to summarize the readings, so don't miss class otherwise you will get a zero on that. easy participation credit. sets the room up in a circle so you see everyone talking. easy final project and the final exam was online. she really cares about her students.

This was my second class with Dr. K. I always learn so much in her courses, but you have to work for a good grade. Class is always discussion based and she expects everyone to come prepared to discuss and share their viewpoints. She genuinely cares for students and is always willing to understand your situation. Highly recommend.

Took this class as a requirement for psych. Failed it:) If you're scared to speak get over it if you want a good grade. Also you have to agree with the material because i felt really pressured to act like i did. I bet she is a nice person, the class just wasn't for me. Good luck!

There is a TON of reading every week, but basic assignments at the end of each week. She started off by saying that turning our cameras on was optional, but then would cal on people specifically without their cameras on, which at 9 am isn't fun. but shes a good teacher and took time to explain things

Kind and passionate professor. I learned so much, and we discuss important topics in class. A lot of readings but it is discussion based, even online. Exams, reading posts, and a project. Cares about her students and their well being outside of class. Highly recommend.

prof. kachwala is very kind and passionate about her subjects, which is something you want in a professor. my only issues w her was the amount of reading we had to complete for no reason. 25 pages of reading for a 150 word limit DB.. also gets so mad when you don't put ur camera on but its 9am (& at the beg of the semester she said it was optional)
