Reviews of professor Prutha Deshpande

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This professor cares a lot that students are actually learning the subject matter. I got a lot out of this course and now feel much more confident about reading research.

This class is not the easiest with this professor. Making sure you read the textbook before class will help in order to understand the lectures. Professor does not seem engaged in the material and the lectures are confusing and hard to understand in class. Attendance is not mandatory. Exams are not the easiest. I would take with another professor.

This class isn't particularly difficult if you read the textbook and attend class. But the lectures are just truly painful. She is very quiet and asks many questions, but she is not engaging at all, so the class has so many awkward silences. She also kind of gets upset when nobody participates. She only uses pictures in lecture slides.

I'm really enjoying this course with Prutha. The research articles she picks for the practice forms are always interesting, and the forms although a lot of work have helped me understand the concepts better and do well on the tests.

She seemed like a nice person but her lectures are extremely unengaging. I could never focus on what she's saying. The forms are easy though

One of the top 3 worst professors I've had in my collegiate career. It's a talent to be this boring. She is also a very tough grader, one of the hardest psych classes I've taken, not based on material but simply the teacher. Avoid her if you can.

This professor really cared about whether students understood concepts and explained things several times if students were still confused. She encourages students to ask questions and come to office hours. I recommend that you attend lectures, instead of having extensively information on the slides, she verbally elaborates on concepts.

Super slow grader. Grades the reviews that are supposed to help you study for the test a month late and the exams are nothing like class. When you do ask questions or go over homework, she gives complicated and unclear explanations. In order to get credit for your homework you have to be present in class, but other than that going is useless.

Tests were very poorly worded. Her lectures were painful to sit through and she speaks very monotone and *maybe* 2 people out of the 80 in the lecture would answer her questions (she asked a lot) and it was very awkward and cringe. I tended to just zone out in that class and get annoyed. I stopped going to class in the end, not worth going.

She rambles a lot; puts me to sleep I swear. She's a tough grader, takes a long time too. Talks in circles during lecture.
