Reviews of professor Naga Kothapalli

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Kothapalli is such a kind-hearted person! She was extremely helpful to me and really gave me good opportunities! I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to be in the medical/research field. She knows she's amazing and she uses it to help students. Sometimes, I find her intimidating.

I had hopes for this professor before the semester began because she seems to care about students with the research program she developed on campus but boy is she anything but a teacher. Does not care about her students at all. Smiles when she announces the sub 50 test averages. Easily confused and often condescending. Take Biochem in the summer.

This professor is an extremely ineffective educator. This is never an easy course, but she did nothing to assist students in learning the material. The exams were unfairly developed, and the handling of grading was poor. Students had no idea where their grades stood until they were posted after the final. I cannot in good faith recommend her.

This is the worst professor I have ever had at OU. Her lectures are very unengaging and confusing. I did more learning by just reading the book on my own. She had a hard time answering students questions in class. The amount of mechanisms and molecules that we were told to memorize was impossible. Our test averages were always in the 30-40% range.

Had Dr. Kothapalli for Honors FYRE, no complaints. Attending the biweekly seminars was well over 60% of the class grade, the rest being the end-of-semester poster presentation. Class meetings often had panels to expose us to career opportunities. No comments on her grading style or teaching methods, as we didn't have that in FYRE.

You may as well not even go to class. She doesnt even teach. A majority of her class is failing, yet she is doing nothing about the whole situation. She covers about 50 pages of the textbook in a day. There are no additional materials to study from. There is not enough time to complete any of her exams. If you want a GPA tanker, take this class.

Do everything you can to not take this professor. Sims may be hard but at least he knows how to teach. Kothapalli does not.

4.0 student before her class. She said unforgiving and uncaring, refuses to answer questions. Likely the worst professor Ive ever taken. She seems proud of her exam averages and wants you to fail.

Just Don't take this professor if you really want to learn biochemistry. She gets confused herself. I should have dropped this class a long time ago. We are going to be graded on a curve now but I feel like I haven't learned a thing. She isn't accessible at all. Action centers do help though!
