Reviews of professor Kavita Manhas

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This course requires every bit of your attention in order to do well. If this class is required for your major, I'm so sorry. I had a 30% before the final and ended up passing. Ample opportunity for EC. I learned more the 2 times Blattman, who I originally signed up for, taught lecture than the entire semester with Kavita. Recording helps.

This class was originally suppose to be taught by Dr. Blattman who has a decent reputation at ASU. During the first lecture, Dr. Blattman said he was having Kavita teach the course instead. Lectures are fast paced and breeze over the small details that will be on the test. For reference a 55% is expected to be the lower cutoff for a C.

She highly encouraged recording lectures which helped A LOT. Available outside of class. Didn't use textbook but is encouraged. Short answer tests, study AT LEAST a week & a 1/2 before & even small details will sink in! Don't cram. An A is doable BUT must put in the time. Write/draw everything out more than once & you will be set for short answers.

Class is 4 tests one dropped; an A is doable it's just a matter of remembering all the details on the slide. Don't take it if you don't have time to memorize for a class.

This is a hard class, theres nothing else to it. The class is lecture heavy so take diligent notes or record the lectures. You have to be able to synthesize memorization and understanding of many concepts to do well, but it incredibly rewarding if you put the effort in. Kavita is a great lecturer with incredible background knowledge in the subject

Class is 3 midterms with one dropped and a final exam. Final is not cumulative. Class is very memorization heavy, but doable if you put in the work. TA gives study guides, which are incredibly helpful. Don't take if you cant put in the required time. Similar to Cell Biology with Ugarova/Roberson.

So much information to memorize... if it is not mandatory don't take it. Save yourself.

Kavita is a current Ph.D. student teaching this class. It is definitely a tough course, but most of the materiel is on the lecture slides to do well on the tests. I would recommend studying a week in advance for each test since there is a ton of information. Overall, a very interesting course!

Don't listen to to the people that say that the class is bad just because there's a lot of material to learn. Immunology is extremely difficult and there's a lot to memorize but this isn't Kavita's fault... She's a great instructor and she makes the class enjoyable. Advice: make sure to do ALL bonus points, MEMORIZE the people! go to review sess.
