Reviews of professor Pallavi Guha

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class might have been better with a different prof. Guha is rude, condescending, and just unhelpful. The class is disorganized, and hard to follow. She STINKS at giving clear instructions. It was almost like you had to work to get info out of her. If you asked for clarification, she was a jerk about it, and didn't help. AVOID HER.

People complain about her being a tough grader but for a mid-300 level course, she grades ridiculously leniently. Lectures are boring but you have to go because she takes attendance and makes you do little things in class that you hand in to get participation points. I did the bare minimum and have a good grade. She's unorganized but nice.

Her instructions and feedback are filled with typos and very unclear, and she's passive aggressive when you ask for clarification. I've taken two classes with her and both were group-project focused. It isn't fun and she doesn't seem to enjoy teaching, but she's a very easy grader. 90+ on all assignments even when not really trying.

By far one of the worst at towson. She gets an attitude if you asks more than one question and talks to you in a condescending tone. I didnt actually learn anything, not super clear on assignments, only mentioned one assignment once and never talked about it again, not even the due date (which was a week after she mentioned it briefly). Just avoid

slideshows are hard to look back and refer to. Really really weird due date times. Group project is ass, complained to her three times about my group not contributing and she said each time she can't do anything.. got a low grade because of it. She doesn't teach much either, she just uses our answers to discussions as the talking point..

You will have to buy the book because her material is terrible. You will be teaching yourself, she does pop quizzes and tells you is in the material that you do that class but her quiz is very different from the notes she gives you. She is unorganized and always changing the syllabus.

Far and away the worst professor I have experienced during my time at Towson. Prof. Guha is unforgiving when it comes to deadlines, particular about attendance, and often gives group projects with little or no explanation of what work you're supposed to do or what tactics you're supposed to use in the first place. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

For someone who claims to have a lot of experience with mass media, this prof killed my interest in it. Her teaching is disengaged from the classroom as well as from the world outside her very myopic area of interest. I didn't receive any help for writing or doing better in the course. This was 2nd time I regretted taking her classes
