Reviews of professor Suparna Bakaya

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
She was okay. If you read the textbook and do the practice exams then it shouldn't be a challenge to do well in the course. She barely taught the class since everything was laid out for you on Brightspace.

Terrible lectures but easy exams. Just read the textbook and watch uploaded videos and youll be fine. Classes are three hours of her talking about one thing for 20 mins and then skipping the next 10 slides to make up for the time spent on that one thing

While her lectures aren't the most interesting (as she talks a lot about her famiy), she takes attendance at the end of class. The attendance isn't mandatory but she gives an extra 2% to your final grade for showing up. I appreciated it as our grade was only made up of 4 things: 2 midterms, final, and a 6 - 10 page essay. Exams are multiple choice

Easy class since it was online and launch pad will be where most of your grades come from and it also functions as your textbook. Do launchpad and you will be alright and the tests are very straightforward. There is only one group project and she gives you a clear guideline as to what she expects. There are also bonus discussions every now and then

You are only graded by 2 midterms (50% multiple choice/50% long answer), final, and a 6-10 page long essay. She doesn't go over everything in class that will be on the test so you will need to read the textbook thoroughly. She is an easy marker, though, so if you put a little effort in, you will get a good grade. Good class to boost your GPA

Very good prof. Clear grading criteria for discussion posts. All midterms plus the final were multiple choice and based 100% off of the textbook. Lots of textbook reading required. Group paper was very frustrating to do in an online format (exacerbated the problems group projects generally have). Good opportunities for extra credit. Great class!

Suparna offers a great and organized online course! Every week's module is carefully constructed. She also provides discussion threads to each week's chapter for anyone who has questions. She is very nice and easily accessible.

Can understands her students very well. Lectures will be boring because of the type of subject. Moreover, you cannot get good grades in this course without reading a book.

Dr. Bakaya is a good professor. Her lectures are alright, I mostly rely on the textbook information. Her midterms are quite easy. Midterm 2 does get a bit harder and more on the specific side so prepare weeks ahead for that. There's a group project research essay that u need to do which is an easy A unless you have lazy group mates. Easy class.
