Reviews of professor Tapoja Chaudhuri

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This professor is extremely passionate about all of the topics we covered which makes class interesting (sometimes),but lectures are REALLY long and can put the class to sleep. It is an overall easy class if you are willing to participate and complete essays. However, wouldn't take it again as it was a bit boring and tedious to get through.

I really enjoyed Dr. Chaudhuri. She is very kind and passionate. The lectures can get boring, especially online. If more people participated in class I think I would've gotten more out of the course. The books she assigns are necessary but I found them interesting. She is very smart and respected in her field. Very approachable and flexible too!

I enjoyed Cross Cultural Perspectives. Read many interesting excerpts and had a guest speaker. Felt very valuable. Participation and attendance is graded and the discussions were a big grade decider. I was really nervous about the final project, presentation in front of the class on a topic of your choice, but it was pretty chill and I got an A.

Stop saying that Dr. Chaudhuri is a bad professor!  In my opinion, Tapoja was very kind, patient, chill, and helpful. She also gave very good, constructive feedback. Furthermore, Chaudhuri would post readings and links to movies on Canvas so students wouldn't have to do much shopping. Overall, a very good teacher in general.

Had this professor for Nature & Culture. Lectures are very long and can get boring at times. Professor uses self-deprecating humor to make students feel bad about being bored in class. Could have been an interesting topic, but the professor did not initiate discussion or participation in class. I Hated when questions were asked and no one talked.
