Reviews of professor Kaus Sarkar

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She was not too bad of a professor, but you had online videos to watch on Friday nights and she can be sassy and rude when it comes to responding to emails. Just make sure you read the material before taking her quizzes.

Kaus gives about 4-5 assignments each week which are pretty easy to complete. She teaches her own textbook and is easy to communicate with. She makes students feel cared about and appreciated even through an online class. Awesome professor!

This class was SO much busy work. She gives up to 10 assignments every week. A lot of time she will give you assignments and make them due the same day. Focuses mostly on Indian dance history. The final is 15-20 page research paper that took forever. But most of the assignments are participation grade only. So if you did it you will get 100.

I took the honors section if that makes a difference. I felt I was regurgitating dance terms unto a google doc and calling them "reflections". it was not too much work and everything is open note so there's that. If you are looking to fulfill a General Ed requirement go for it, looking to actually learn about dance and dance identity? Skip it.

She's really nice and her class is easy. It does have a little bit of workload but nothing too much. Class is mainly weekly quizzes, discussion posts, midterm, and final. A few group projects. Work is easy and class is interesting. Just stay on top of things and it's an easy A.

This professor truly cares about her students and loves sharing her passion for Indian Dance. If you are in her honors section prepare to write a 10-15 page paper on dance. That paper was the hardest part of the course. She made the textbook herself and brings in speakers to fully immerse the students in Indian Dance culture.

She assigns lots of work, but is an easy grader. You have to attend two dance performances. Overall she is super sweet and the class is a breeze.

she is a good teacher, class was easy, quizzes are open note. but when stuff is due is unclear sometimes. i hated group projects, the class was entirely online so it was hard to communicate and meet, we had multiple of these. you also have to go to a zoom every friday from 6-7pm which was annoying. she can also be rude when responding to emails

This class was overall pretty easy. You mainly just watch videos of dances and talk/write about them. Attendance is typically pop quizzes or worksheets. She learned everyone's names in a lecture of 100+ people. You have weekly quizzes in a workbook written by her, it can be hard to understand. Cancels class often.
