Reviews of professor Padma Rangarajan

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I would not recommend her. I understand I was taking an upper division class but she assigns so much reading that we never really had time to go in depth because there was to much to cover in one class. Also, she is an extremely tough grader which is understandable but she never really clarifies what it is she wants exactly- even in office hours.

One of the Hardest graders at UCR! Super hard class and the professor doesnt clarify the readings. She is passionate about her work but most the class struggled to understand the content.

Don't be dumb. Do not take any classes with her. You will instantly regret it. She has a tendency to move important due dates to the day before. Lots of tangents in lectures. She isn't tech savvy at all, leaving every zoom student out. Weekly assignments that are unlocked in class and due as well. A lot more to be said but word count. AVOID

She's a super nice lady but a terrible lecturer. She talks way too fast, her lectures are super disorganized, and she goes off on tangent after tangent. She changes assignments last minute and doesn't give clear directions for homework. She also prohibits the use of laptops in class and demands you have physical copies of all the reading materials.

I loved Professor Rangarajan. She is a hard grader but if she knows you're trying she's a little easier on you. She is incredibly passionate about her work and expects the class to be successful. She speaks rather fast so copying down is difficult but this was one of the few English classes I felt I actually learned something in and I hardly read.
