Reviews of professor Ashidhara Das

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Das made this online class as straightforward as possible. So long as you do the assigned readings and can form logical opinions on the discussion forum, you will be fine. I really appreciated the discussion prompts as well!

Very easy class with weekly quizzes and a few short essays! She is also an easy grader.

Prof is very kind and caring overall, but u will not learn a thing during her lectures. directly reads off powerpoint and book during lectures, and has no time mgmt. turned out to be a book reading class imo. Also, she gives so much online activities as if it were an online class. Decided to not drop just to get it over and done with. Easy A though

She's a good professor and replies to emails quickly. She gives good feedback and is passionate about anthropology. She grades everything quickly but considers what you said and where you need help. There was one extra credit. However, they were several options for what you could do for it. She genuinely wants her students to learn.

Professor Das is a very caring person, for the midterm we had an essay due. And I couldn't send it on time. I told her my reason, and she gave me a 1 WEEK extension! She didn't even consider it as late and gave me full credit. She is an inspirational person and you learn a lot of interesting things in this class about other cultures.

Do the work and you'll pass. She gave us the option of an essay or of a final exam which I thought was nice. Ultimately, however, I found her lectures unhelpful a lot of the time and the class itself boring. 3 tries on the quizzes and do all the homework and you should pass.

I hated her class with every fiber of my being. When she lectured, she would whisper and turn her back to us making it impossible to understand her. Uploads text heavy slides with unnecessary info so be prepared to read and Google everything. Weekly quizzes (3 tries) and 350word discussion posts. 2 midterms are rough drafts of essay for the Final.

She is such a bad professor, she has no idea what she is doing half the time she is lecturing. She has a bad accent which is not that hard to understand but you have to pay attention. Her mic is terrible, she keeps moving her laptop around which created so much noise and can barely hear anything else besides the mic being touched and moved.

She will speak for the whole class on the slide or topic of the week,but she is just reading her slides.Her voice is very soft and puts me to sleep.I can't skip it because she does a class assignment that was not published on Canvas.Either a quiz or discussion post(300-350 words)once a week.Midterms are all about the final project that isbeingdone.
