Reviews of professor Radhika Reddy Nareddy

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Nareddy was a horrible experience here at K-State. All of her lectures are done on an iPad and truly have no structure behind them. You do a ton of examples which is useful, if only she explained what you were doing examples of and why. She gives you plenty of practice problems, but then makes the exams extremely difficult in comparison.

I had heard many bad things about Nareddy but had no option but to take her. At first, she seemed nice, hard to understand though. Further into the semester (especially after transition to online from COVID) she begins speeding through info much more and becomes less of an advocate and more of an advesary. More simply, avoid at all costs. Regretted

Nareddy is a fantastic professor. Many have issues with her accent but its really easy to get used to after a couple lectures. She expects her class to engage with her and gives tons of examples. The material is hard and her exams arent easy. If you study and be sure to ask questions or go to office hours you will pass. Had her for both orgos.

Nareddy is a lot better than people say. Attendance is optional, but if you don't go, you won't pass. She works based off of written examples, not powerpoints - one of my favorite things about her. Use your TAs, they are more helpful than they seem. I took her for both orgos, highly recommend staying with one prof for both as well.

She's a very good lecturer but does not like to repeat herself during class or answer questions she's already gone over. Save your questions for the TA's or her office hours. Very kind in office hours and very good TA, I signed up to take her again for orgo 2 because she's a great teacher.

She gets a bad rap for her accent, but you get used to it. refuses to answers students with questions and wont slow down for kids that didn't understand the info. tries to shove as much info as she can into a class. TAs will save your life. she doesnt care if you pass or fail. no curve. dont buy the textbook you can find it for free online.

I highly recommend taking ATIM if you can for organic chemistry.

A lot of information is covered in the class, she tried to make sure students understand the mechanisms but can get frustrated with questions at times.

Took Nareddys course last semester when COVID first hit. Id had her before for Chem333 and absolutely loved her. Organic is a tough subject, but she clearly knows what shes talking about, and shes always willing to explain whats going on. Her office hours (before quarantine) were a life-saver, and she always answers her email.
