Reviews of professor Gentiana Sadikaj

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Catastrophic. - Consistent lack of communication - Failure to double check grades - Failure to respond to emails - Not approachable - Inconsistent examples, instructions, & rubrics - Disorganized - Whatever work you spend time on will most likely not appear in the assignments or exams. I mean, the list can go on.

She is super disorganized and does not care about students. Gives up to 20 hours of homework several weeks of the semester. Expected us to write a full 10 page essay draft plus 10 sources and an extra 2-4 pages of graphs and tables within a period of 9 days. Avoid her for your mental healths sake.

Honestly, this was probably the worst class I've ever taken. The professor is lazy and this showed throughout the entire period of the course. The workload is insane. It felt like all the work was given for the purpose of only assigning work rather than for the purpose of learning. Also, the midterms are difficult with content that wasn't covered.

Expect a lot of little assignments, weekly activities and quizzes. I emailed her twice during the semester and both times I didn't receive a reply. And this was an online class so there were no other ways of me communicating with her. So, if you decide to take her make sure you don't have any questions to ask because you wont receive an answer.

Exams are fair and the paper assignment is really interesting to work on. However, lectures can be very confusing as the explanation can be quite unclear. Mostly relied on reading the slides and the readings to understand.

I had this prof during the Summer 2021 term at McGill... RUN. A quiz every single day, a paper, 100+ pages to read EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. and lecture recordings on top of that! 2 midterms and a final as well. Let me remind you guys that this summer course is literally 1 month long. She is unwilling to accommodate to students struggling.

Stay Away! I still don't understand why is she "teaching". Is probably the WORST teacher I've ever had (by far). She doesn't speak English clearly so it is impossible to understand. Pretty sad because the course material is very interesting and she makes the class unbearable... I had to drop it hoping I can enroll in the fall with another teacher.

Took Sadikaj when we were completely online. required us to participate in class. The majority of the grade consisted of small assignments and one long research paper. Liked the class overall; however, the small assignments did NOT prepare many for what was required for the research paper.
