Reviews of professor Tapoja Chaudhuri

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Chaudhuri is a kind, caring, and effective teacher. It is an environmental anthropology class so only take it if interested in this matter. Always willing to answer questions and pushes you to succeed.

She can drone on about a topic and stray away from an answer when you ask her a question, which can be tiring. But she is very understanding, caring, and kind. During our long lectures, she would give us breaks as well. Sometimes the books and articles she assigns are difficult to read, but she only assigns a few chapters and medium articles.

Dr. Chaudhari has been a really good professor so far! Her feedback on papers is really helpful and she tries her best to make lectures interesting. She does pop quizzes and her paper prompts can be a little vague but I think that as long as you pay attention in class and ask questions you should be fine!

Honestly, this class was not good. The lectures would have been beneficial if the professor didn't tell the class before each lecture that they know the lectures are boring (they weren't that bad). The rubrics are kind of vague, and overall you don't gain much from this course. I do not recommend this, even if it's not a difficult course.

She is really nice but incredibly unorganized and a tough grader. She won't post articles or movies you review in class but expects you to use them as sources for later projects. She also only grades out of 100 points so your biggest assignment grade is 15 points

She is a nice person. However, She is very difficult to understand, from the way she teaches to the lecture. Lectures really don't mean anything, relies heavily on readings and student-driven dicussion. At the end, I learned absolutely nothing. Her instruction for assignments are also very vague, and she is a tough grader as well.

The class lacks structure. The prompts are vague and worded in a way that may confuse you more about the material than before you read the prompt. The books required were expensive (in the 30s) and not available to rent and we only read a couple of chapters. She seems to be a very nice person but I wouldn't want to have her as a professor again.

Unorganized classes, weird/inconsistent grading, passive aggressive instructor. Lectures were all over the place & paper prompts/grading rubrics were vague and difficult to understand. Has potential to be a valuable and interesting course, but the prof and their teaching need to improve.

she is caring and understanding of you, she only assigns a few chapters from a book to write DQ's and papers on, so the reading is not as overwhelming. she likes to give out free extra credit opportunities a lot as well.
