Reviews of professor Vinita Hajeri

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Attendance is graded. This class sucks a lot but you have to take it. Dr. Hajeri would take off points for ridiculous things and you'll hate the assignments for the class but it's whatever. If you can, switch to a different professor because the freshman seminars vary SO much in rigor.

This class is very annoying in grading and assignments. You get homework almost every class, and the TAs are very harsh on their grading. If you don't contain certain "keyword", you will be losing lots and lots of points. Difficulty wise, not very. The professor is very nice and straight forward, the TAs are hard.

Dr. Hajeri was a really good professor! I found her class to be hugely beneficial as it helped me understand how to better read and understand scientific literature. However, this class is a bit time consuming since you need to read several papers and write your own reports, so make sure you have time for that. Otherwise, really enjoyable class

this was one of my favorite classes! hardly any lectures, lots of chances to participate, and we got to work with live animals. its an easy A if youre ready for A LOT of very detailed writing. homework/quizzes/exams are free response and there are essays but you dont really need to study. reading research articles is also required.

She was one of the nicest most understanding teachers during the pandemic. The transition to online class was easiest with her class structure. You have a lot of assignments but they are not that difficult. I've learned mpre by doimg her assignments then by studying for tests in any other class. Nobody likes Nats so neware of those reveiws.

I am sorry to anyone in the UTeach Science Program that has to take this class. Whe you eventually have to take NATS 4390 with Taylor and Hajeri just prepare yourself (NATS 4390 was not an option above).

The class itself isn't difficult but the grading is harsh. Everything is short answer and hardly ever is partial credit given. Forget one word on an answer and you'll get it all wrong even if you wrote an entire paragraph with everything else correct. TA's do the grading and Dr. Hajeri supports their grading no matter what. Take notes often to pass

This course is unfair. You are graded on the smallest things in her worksheets. ex. you could answer amazingly in a long paragraph but if you missed a keyword you wont receive credit. Her class schedule is inconsistent. She holds little interest in actually yielding any learning from her students. Major assignments are graded based on keywords too.
