Reviews of professor Debi Mohapatra

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Literally garbage. I've sent him dozens of emails and I don't think he's read one, might not know that students are emailing him. Reads off of every slide in lectures, so anyone who can read would be able to teach this class. Unfortunately, this class is required but if you're thinking of taking a class with him, DO NOT TAKE IT!!!!

I found this class particularly difficult, partially because of the professor's strong accent. Many of the lectures were just him reading off the slides he made and often would get confused on his own words. The exams were all in person and mainly multiple choice + short answer. There is a textbook but the professor tells you that you don't need it

He is extremely clear in his presentation. He talks in a very interesting way. One needs to have some background to follow the course. Totally recommend it!

Not strict with due dates. Lecture material is not on tests. Tests are extremely difficult. Would not recommend.

Nothing about the course is clear. Grading criteria is never discussed, feedback is rare. Professor makes absolutely no sense 80% of the time. The material is easy but the way it is discussed in class and on tests makes it almost impossible to learn or succeed.

To be honest he has a pretty mundane tone so I could see why it would be hard to learn and get lost in his words. But most of the material is in front of you and he does okay explaining things. Exam questions are the exact same as the study exam questions. Some basic knowledge of economics helps (supply, demand, elasticity)

He is a real gem professor. He teaches in such a way, that one will understand any topic in a first go. He is always available for help. Enjoyed the class.

Tests are way too difficult, grading criteria had most kids failing. Exact statistics have to be memorized and used in your essays and if your numbers are slightly off you'll be deducted a ton of points. Don't take unless you want to ruin your GPA.

People saying this class is hard are likely not putting any effort in. Exams have study guides that are practically the exam questions on the exams. Full credit for attempting quizzes. Huge extra credit opportunity. Nice guy who wants people to do well. Pay attention a bit and prepare well for the exams and you'll get an A.
