Reviews of professor Soumya Upadhyay

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Absolutely TERRIBLE OF A PROFESSOR. Never have I had a Professor be so unprofessional. Instructions were never clear and kept you guessing about what to do. Extremely tough grader and seems to never be satisfied with the submitted work. Please save yourself the time and experience, avoid taking her class

Professor U was SUCH an awesome person to take a class with! She was kind, respectful, prepared and showed genuine care for her students. Do what is expected of you in the syllabus, and you will do just fine. She does not surprise you in any negative ways. She is what UNLV professors should strive to be to their students- respected & admired.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! HORRIBLE. Her instructions were not clear for assignments. When asking for feedback she didn't respond to emails, and did not attend the set meetings SHE had scheduled with us! DO NOT TAKE. We taught ourselves this content.

Her lessons were engaging and useful. She was patient with everyone in the class, always encouraging her students to try their best.

I have taken two graduate level courses with Dr. Upadhyay, HCA703 & HCA716. In both courses, I felt that the material was the right balance of challenging, interesting, and informative. She gives students plenty of opportunity to implement feedback, and she demonstrates a clear desire to ensure the full understanding of her students. Great classes!

I had quite a few classes with Dr. Upadhyay. HCA 703 and HCA 715 among them. Dr Upadhyay made the understanding of the healthcare management very easy for us. She was always available and was very engaging. HCA 715 was also very informative on research methodology. Highly recommended for those of you who are interested.

During the pandemic Professor Upadhyay was the only professor I learned from. My other classes I was doing the work to pass and not learning anything. While she is a pretty difficult grader you actually learn in her class and the assignments are not difficult.

The professor was inconsistent with grading. Do everything she asks on the rubric and it still is not good enough for her. Group projects were terrible, she does not help with any concerns. Her lectures are almost a duplicate of the textbook readings, so lectures are very boring and dry. She seems very uninterested in teaching. Do not recommend.

Very inconsistent in grading, constantly changes the course syllabus, does not provide specific details or examples for group projects, and grades harshly on details not mentioned in the syllabus. Professor rarely responds to emails and expects for students to ask questions during virtual meetings only. Lecture is unorganized.
