Reviews of professor Sanchayeeta Borthakur

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This class was a breeze, but it was interesting. It is very lecture driven, however, because the fun labs are all in the recitation. I wish I would've gotten to meet her in person.

Dr. Borthakur is a fantastic professor who certainly cares about her students education. She doesnt curve so you do need to put in effort but she drops assignments/exams to help boost your grade ( soooo she basically does curve). Pay attention, do the homework and youll get an easy A.

Professor Borthakur is very kind & understanding. Her lectures feel very long, but all of the lectures are available online. Make sure you know the material for exams. If you know the material, getting an A is very achievable. Her exams have 40 questions and if you get 30 right it's a 100%. Just make sure that you attend class & do all hw.

Professor Borthakur is easily one of the best teachers I've ever met. She's absolutely brilliant and has the ability to explain anything at any level. I took an upper division course with grad students and she always made sure I understood what was going on. Ask questions and it'll be worth it. I wish she could teach all my classes. Wonderful prof

Prof. Bothakur is very sweet and understanding. Try to contact her directly instead of her TAs, who often don't share her compassion. Class was easy, reading the textbook isn't required (just use google lol) and attendance isn't mandatory but reported through quiz questions on Pearson. Class is interesting and adequate for an intro-level course.

Professor Borthakur is so sweet and loves Astronomy! She tries her best to explain things easy and is patient with material. The class is awesome but keep in mind, you will learn how the universe works. That's complex even for a 100 level class. This is not a blowoff class. She curves test grades hard but you still have to try and read the material

Easy class if you pay attention and ask questions. Honestly not sure if attendance was really taken.

Professor Borthakur is a very sweet lady thats very passionate about astronomy. I found the structure of her class to be a bit strange, but it wasnt so bad so long as you prepare for the tests. She drops your two lowest homeworks and has a makeup test at the end of the semester if you miss any. Easy A and a good choice for a science credit.
