Reviews of professor Sreerekha Sathiamma

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lectures were a bit dry, but Professor Sree is an incredibly knowledgeable person to be taught by, and if you can sit through the seminars you have an opportunity to learn a lot.

Sree is a very thoughtful professor, who puts a great deal of time and energy into providing a perspective that is different from most of the classes taught at UVA. She is an asset to Global Development Studies as she incorporates theory and practice to make her classes both engaging and thought provoking. Discussion is encouraged in this class.

I took Professor Sree's Social Movements and Development class -- outstanding, engaging lectures and readings. She challenges students to think critically & question (unlike many profs), facilitates learning effectively (good group discussions), and is very approachable. One of the few classes I can say truly changed my perspective on the world.

Professor Sree is humble, but she is brilliant. She has a lot of knowledge to share and she makes difficult concepts accessible with her clarity and creativity. She won't coddle you; you will get as much from her classes as you are willing to work for. It's worth working for. I'd follow Professor Sree anywhere.

Prof. Sree offers an incredibly valuable perspective to any global studies dept., challenging what it means to be a "developing country" in the "Third World"/"Global South". Like most classes, you get what you put in  I did the work and walked away with a totally new outlook on how NGOs/Western involvement/+more affect grassroots social movements.

She is never reay to explain outside of classroom, sometime she is rude.
