Reviews of professor Hemal Shroff

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
you might as well not have a professor for this course. She doesn't add anything during lecture outside of the textbook but her tests are hard and detailed. She is not sympathetic, she doesn't care about her students. She is not knowledgeable on the topics she teaches because she doesnt know how to answer questions in class

Prof Shroff is a very knowledgeable professor who connects textbook material to real world examples to make her lectures interactive with her students. She is also really nice and accessible, and provides a lot of feedback and help. If you keep up with your readings and lectures there arent many surprises on the exam, as she is a very fair grader.

DON'T take the course with this prof!! She just reads off the slides (a copy of the textbook). Some days covers 2 powerpoints- races through them. Know the textbook well!! Tests based on that & some lecture stuff. Know the studies!! Lots of m/c questions on them. Not engaging at all. She lectures until the last minute of class-- really annoying.

Beware and try to avoid all courses with this professor. She is unkind, and disrespectful to students. Besides her demeanour, the course material (which can be self-taught as her lecture notes are restorations of the textbook), is quite interesting but don't assume that just studying everything will get you an A -- VERY unlikely to do well with her

Dr. Shroff made this class very hard. The final exam was cumulative and she never really gave much detail regarding what would be expected of us regarding the material that was previously tested on. She came across as quite judgemental toward students asking/ answering questions in class. Lectures came directly from text so no need to go to class.

Unrealistic expectations, All 3 textbooks inaccessible but expects you to heavily know its content for final exams. Final exam was ridiculously unfair with the majority of the class unable to complete it due to not enough time, yet it still counted for 43% of our grade. Participation matters. Tough grader. Horrible experience within the course.

When asking about the final exam (that's worth 40%) her answers were "I don't remember" or "I can't help you with that" 40% CUMULATIVE final which is 15 chapters worth. Avoid classes with her at all costs. Extremely unprepared for students questions and concerns. This should be an interesting topic and course but she has made it terrible.
