Reviews of professor Swati Gilotra

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This course is solely based on class participation and papers. However, it is May and she has only graded 1 of 4 papers so I have absolutely no idea what my grade is in this class. There is a lot of required reading but it isn't too difficult. The worst part is not knowing your grades at all.

She was my absolute favorite professor this semester! The class is really easy, and I didn't need to put in much of an effort to maintain my grade. There is a good amount of reading to do, but it's all very interesting material. Very sweet and cares a lot about her students!

The core of the class, the four papers you probably have to write, is pretty easy in her class. It's easy to figure out because in every class and a review session before each test she tells you directly what you will be asked about and the answers to them. It is easy to get a 90 on the first test then 100's on the other 3.

I took Professor Gilotra this summer and she was great! She adjusted the workload to accommodate a more condensed class, although we still had a moderate amount of work every night. She was always willing to answer questions and available for meetings! Shes really nice and really knowledgeable about the readings. Take her if you can!

She's decent but she takes FOREVER to grade. In finals week, only one assignment from week 6 has been graded. Daily readings don't take that long, were very interesting and societally relevant, but class will be miserable if no one discusses with her. Attendance is required as well. Assignments & Essays were online and if you read, they're easy.
