Reviews of professor Sukanya Lodh

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lodh is a very sweet woman! However, when it comes to teaching, shes just not good at it. Professors have Ph.D in their field, but often times no actual training in teaching. This is clear with Dr. Lodh. You will have to teach yourself in this class. With your best interest in mind, go with a different professor.

Bio lab itself was decent and not too hard. The lectures are useless, reports are graded harshly, and midterm exam was ridiculous. Be prepared for the midterm written test and practical to both hurt your grade because there's simply no good way to prepare. However, the final was much more straight forward. Avoid this class but overall manageable.

I have Dr. Lodh for 4601 and 2001,the classes are VERY different. 4601 is extremely exam heavy (65% of grade is 4 exams) but doable if you study hard and ask questions. The practical for 2001 was crazy and probably dropped by grade 10% as half of the points were graded on accuracy. Make sure you ask questions to know what she expects on lab reports

Whoever was responsible for grading the weekly labs straight up sucked. They took off points for things that were not mentioned in the directions in the first place. Good luck in this class because there is little to no instruction and you will be lost half of the time. I'm praying for you!!!

The group project is worth a large chunk of your grade, little direction is provided, and it is graded very harshly. Lab reports are graded with harsh standards as well. You need good grades on the project and lab reports in order to do well in the class, since it is a lab-based class. Not impossible to do well, but it will be frustrating at times.

I did not like her at all. Her grading scale does not make sense. The practical has tanked my grade because it is based on accuracy, even when the machines are not fully accurate. If it was up to me, I would not take her again. You will have to learn everything yourself because her lectures don't add anything.

Please, Please, Please. If you can avoid her please do. This woman cannot teach or explain anything even remotely well, grading is brutal. The first class to make me feel truly miserable. DO NOT TAKE

Dr. Lodh is one of my favorite professors at Marquette. She cares about her students and genuinely helps when you need it. Just make sure to attend her lectures and actually pay attention, she is funny and engaging so it wasn't hard to. She gives a lot of good information while lecturing and her exams align with what she teaches.

Dr. Lodh is hard to understand but she does make things pretty easy when it comes to lab. The majority of your grade will come from lab and the exams are pretty straightforward if you have a basic understanding of the material.
