Reviews of professor Shankari Patel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She is a nice professor. The lectures are a bit boring and attendance was mandatory. If you did not go to class, you'd be penalized for it but she is lenient if you communicate with her. She was caring and passionate professor. hw is easy too.

Patel is a very caring professor who will always prioritize her students above all else. She is very understanding about attendance despite it being required. There is 3 exams, 1 paper, 10 quizzes and worksheets so it can get packed if you leave it all of the end. They weren't harshly graded it is a very great class to take for a GE requirement.

Recommend Shankari's classes, but avoid her online lab. Take it in person if possible. The online version is accelerated with a HEAVY workload, and while she is very caring in her in-person classes she does not gives feedback in her online lab. 2 modules a week (2 discussions and around 20 exercises). Very flexible with due dates!

The best professor there is. They are very understanding and want their students to pass . Lectures can be boring, but overall a really great person

The material for this class was super interesting and I learned a lot. The professor is really nice and sends out sweet weekly updates. However, I took the 8 week version of this class and the amount of work was ridiculous, so make sure to stay on top of assignments or you will be screwed. The work is really easy, but again, there is a ton of it.

One lecture a week was dedicated to doing group worksheets that took maybe 30 mins. Very interesting and important coursework, but the information from lectures is rarely seen in worksheets or quizzes; they are based on readings. Very easy course and great professor

Professor Patel made this class really easy and straightforward. I would recommend this class for an easy ge or 5 credits. Her professors could be more engaging but as long as you read a little you should be fine.

Good professor, it does get a tiny bit overwhelming with the amount of text on her slides but most important parts that will be included in the quiz is highlighted. Weekly quiz (unlimited tries and on canvas), 2-3 exams (on canvas, unlimited time) and one final paper. Attendance was mandatory, sign-in sheet at the beginning of class.

Shankari is an amazing teacher and very passionate about what she is teaching. I would 100% take this class again. She is extremely understanding and flexible with your schedule. Going to lectures is not mandatory, as she posts the lectures online, but i recommend still going to the lectures if you can, she makes it so fun!!
