Reviews of professor Manisha Sengupta

If you actually want to learn something - don't take her. Simple quizzes and no feedback. If you want easy A on elective - take. Perfect for winter session.

Professor Sengupta's lectures are fine--lots of material, but fairly clear and manageable if you stay focused. Weekly quizzes and midterm are open-book (and easy) too. I personally struggled with the amount of writing though--bi-weekly/weekly papers and a massive essay due mid-November. Could see her class potentially being great in the Winter.

Took this class during winter and all the quizzes were easy. The only heavy work was the paper, but it was worth it for finishing the class in 3 weeks. The video introduction for bonus points was what helped me ensure I earned an A in the class.

A very caring professor. Though her lectures are a bit slow, she is incredibly knowledgeable and really cares about her students. She makes it easy to get a good grade in this class.

Very easy class, I took two Gen Ed classes including this one and it was more than manageable. The class is full of quizzes(open note/book), 2 discussion posts, 1 essay(this required active effort), and a final that is a quiz and also a free response question. I would take this over the winter to get it over with, very easy A.

She lectures exactly like a sloth from Zootopia would: slow and with lots of pauses. Other than that, the assignments are easy and the material is interesting, but the class itself drags on and on. Bring homework to do during lectures, since there's a participation grade which means you have to show up. At least she is a fair grader.

So easy, no way to fail this. Cool teacher, she can be a bit tiring to listen to as her style is a little different. My class enjoyed her. Disscusion sessions were the best.

Her lectures are so boring; makes me zone out in class and not even want to listen because she talks soooo slow. The Ted Talks are easy to complete, but the way she grades them is ridiculous and unfair. Don't sign up to take her class if you don't need to.

Professor Sengupta was a great professor even though I agree that sometimes I got a little bored during lecture. But no she is a great professor overall. Her class is easy to pass.

She is fine, but her lectures are kinda boring, she indicates lots of information which I found not interesting. There will be online quiz for every chapter, 5-6 TED responses, 2 writing assignments, and 2 exams. She is knowledgeable and if you like geography, you could learn a lot from her. She is not quite a tough grader I would say.

Honestly a really easy class for the grade. Not that many assignments and all exams/quizzes are online.
