Reviews of professor Thanujeni Pathman

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Moderately interesting course, very interesting textbook material. Since it's fully online there wasn't much to associate with other classmates except some activities. 2021's TAs are tough graders, especially Samantha. They lacked effective communication as well. If you are good at memorizing each line from a textbook, this is for you.

She is SO NICE! Such a sweetheart. The tests are 80 multiple choice and 6 short answer. She gives you the short answer questions in her lecture you have to read it. YOU NEED the textbook theres is a lot of information covered in there that you need for the exam. We have online quizzes every week too, but its open book. READ THE TEXTBOOK.

Honestly the best prof! She's so caring and takes the time out to help her students. If she taught more courses I would take them all. Would seriously recommend her.

Her online lectures were not helpful. She just gives an overview of what is on launchpad. Said that tests are not expected to be finished in university and when the average for the test was low she said it is where it is expected to be and she won't bell curve marks. Test questions are super specific from the reading not just general important info

Dr. Pathman is an extremely caring and empathetic professor. Her syllabus was clear in showing how we would be graded throughout the course. She did 3 tests and 1 exam. She takes the best 3 grades and drops the lowest test/exam grade. Her online lectures were concise and provided potentional short answer questions for the tests.

Best professor ever. Her caring for students' success is priceless. 10/10 would recommend. Interesting class, no textbook.

Lectures were boring/pointless and she provides various ted talks/podcast videos that you might get tested on. Very textbook heavy. The tests were open book because the questions are so specific to the readings. I'm a psych student and was really interested in the course but feel as though I've learnt nothing :(

Dr. Pathman, bombarded the students of this course with weekly group work, weekly launchpad exercises, weekly launchpad quizzes. Really did not teach anything in her lectures bc they were HIGHLIGHTS of the textbook. I gained nothing from her 30min lecture.I could have just read the $200 textbook at home instead of paying $1000 for the course

She is nice, but the taped lectures can be unbearably boring, slow paced (long pauses) and mostly just recapitulation of the textbook. Recommend: Download an app to speed up video on your browser. That said, clear grading criteria, and nice option to drop lowest test mark, which can really help. Text material very interesting, + she seems nice.
