Reviews of professor Sujith Kumar

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Kumar lecturing style made the philosophical concepts more digestible which is appreciated. The course grade is heavily weighted on quizzes and a group essay. The quizzes often were written strangely which plummeted grades. The TA in charge of the group project was awful at communicating what he wanted which left people confused.

Dr. Kumar was by far my favorite professor of the semester. His class was genuinely interesting and made students think. The grading is not unfair by any means- mostly completion of discussion then an essay, final group project, and a few 10 question quizzes. He goes over the quiz questions in class usually, lecture is necessary but not required

Not tech savvy, but good lecturer. Grad TA was a hot mess. Beware of the massive group final essay. No clear instructions whatsoever. Very subjective grading. We got bad grades on our OPINION-based midterm essay if the TA didn't agree with our point of view. Not the hardest class, but just be prepared for some frustration.

Kumar is a very good lecturer. Class comprised of weekly lectures, a 400+ word discussion post on the topic for each week, a smaller individual paper, and a group final project. No midterm or final exams, only 4, 10 question quizzes. Class was very chill, but he grades sort of harshly, so make sure you step up your game on your papers.

GVPT241 during an online semester, Kumar has a great personality and makes his lectures interesting, you can tell he really enjoys the subject matter. Did not buy a text book for this class, and did perfectly fine without it.

Honestly reading these reviews I was worried but the class really wasnt that bad. Lectures could be a bit boring but quiz questions and answers are taken directly from lecture notes. Also beware of the group project - I got screwed with my group. Despite only 2 out of 5 people doing the majority of the work, we all got the same grade.

He words quizzes in a confusing way on purpose and they tank your grade if you do not do well. A lot of material comes from lecture, so definitely helps to come to class. Discussion posts and essays weren't terrible.

The class was super interesting, and you could tell that Kumar is really passionate about this course. As long as you attend lectures and take notes, you will do fine in the class.

Professor Kumar makes class lectures very interesting. He is very passionate and cracks jokes here and there. Quizzes were a bit challenging since the wording was confusing. However, if you go to class, quizzes shouldn't be so bad. You definitely have to put in work to get an A. The group project shouldn't be so bad if you get a good group.
