Reviews of professor Vishal Jain

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Complex readings without the explanation of what the concepts are beforehand. Started off the term really well by having everything laid out nicely, however as the semester progressed, lectures started getting dry and boring. Tough grader.

Requires students to read complex papers and quizzes the students on topics covered with complex questions in readings before he discusses and explain concepts to students in class. Refuses to posts lecture slides before class and doesn't tell students what will and won't be on edited version of lecture slides.

Super good prof, however to do good in this class you have to go in depth in his readings. I tried studying his notes for his midterm and only got a 70%, but I ended up with an A-. He's really helpful if you go to him after class or during break and the quizzes are great exam prep. I hope to take another course with him in the future

If kindness made an instructor good at their job, then Dr. Jain would be all set. Unfortunately that's not the case. This person cannot facilitate meaningful class discussion, and generally may have the qualifications to teach this course but in now way has the expertise. Not great with accountability, regardless of how friendly he tries to be.

I thought the class was really easy... the concepts are super important and relevant if you want to remain in the health field. Just go in with an open mind and a willingness to learn. I would read the readings the night before and I got 5/5 on every quiz. He would ask questions like "what does intersectionality mean," - super easy.
