Reviews of professor Tara Menon

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
At the beginning of the semester, she set a very casual fun tone, but this quickly changed, and she became really intense which made class very stressful. I felt l had to be on guard around her. She would get really frustrated if she thought people werent participating enough and her grading criteria made no sense and were impossible to follow.

Professor Menon's class was very easy. She graded papers very leniently because most of the papers were opinion based. But if you do not participate in her class she will not know who you are. She is also not so organized which can be problematic when it comes to grading students correctly. But she is a nice person and available outside of class.

Professor Menon is the BEST professor. Not only does she keep every class interesting, but she's willing to provide any help possible. She really wants her students to succeed and allows them to submit as many rough drafts as they want so they can perfect their writing. She's kind, hilarious, and brilliant! It was a pleasure having her teach me.

Her class was very confusing, she cold calls a lot, and the readings are crazy long. She gives extensions on papers but you have to do the readings for every class because she asks extremely confusing questions about the text and will put you on the spot.

Professor Menon was very energetic. She made it obvious how happy she was to be teaching this class, and that she cared about individual students and the class as a whole. She was an easy grader, but gave a lot of readings. Class was a bit disorganized, but deadlines were always flexible.

Professor Menon would often give extensive reading assignments that felt like busy work. We had class at a difficult time in the evening so kids were often falling asleep, but her mumbling and way of lecturing didn't help. She also never finished grading our essays so I never was given my final feedback and just got a random grade.

Tara is a wonderful educator with amazing ideals and an excellent grasp of literature. Very diverse texts and was a very educated and intelligent woman. Such an interesting course and never had me bored. Did every single reading because everything was super interesting. Anyone interested in literature should take her course!!!!!!

Took Professor Menon at Baruch for the fall semester, she is great. She gives you questions that induce thinking. Be engaged, read, and do your work and she really makes it easy for you to get an A. At times, she did have some condescending remarks about other writers, but hey, opinions are valid.
