Reviews of professor Pat Kesavan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She reads off the PowerPoints and barely goes up to the board to work out problems herself. Rushes through the lectures and when she asks if anyone has questions she says "No? Okay" not giving people a chance to ask.  When "teaching" she speaks as if we already know the material and acts rude when we don't know the answer to new material.

She would often times give little context as to why something works. The class was often times a bit frustrating because she would contradict herself a lot. The online segments on TopHat were not always up to date as well as that system was extremely particular about how information was entered.

The only issue with Kesavan is her accent. She has a heavy Indian accent but you get use to it within the first week. Theres a lot of material to cover but she does a great job of covering it all and making it understandable. She curves all tests and grades homework easily. Chemistry is hard, but Kesavan makes it bearable.

Difficult class, made worse by an even more difficult professor. I had to teach myself throughout the entire course because she moved through things too fast with poor explanations.

Her lectures are confusing and rushed. She curves most exams but has few examples during lectures.

The course is challenging as its nature, but the professor makes matters far worse. Her rapid teaching style makes it difficult to keep up the pace with the material being taught in any given day of class. The instructor made the course far harder to understand than necessary, that it was easier to learn it yourself from the powerpoints provided.

Dr. Kesavan is knowledgeable but does not possess the capacity to teach the material. She is rude, will cut off your questions, stating "you should already know this," and flies through her slides. Also, in lab, she will not wait for you to finish the lab properly if you take over 2 hours (lab is supposed to last 4 hours), and will rush you out.

Hard to understand, really rude and spent disproportionate amount of time on units. For example, spent a week or 2 on electron configuration and it would become small sections in the tests. Most of the class was failing for most of the duration of the class.
