Reviews of professor Preetpal Basanti

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Don't take a course with this prof. She is very RUDE! She belittles previous students in her lectures and has unrealistic expectations. She never hands back grades throughout the terms so you will not be able to gauge how you are doing. There are tons of weekly assignments that are A LOT of work but worth very little, she is SUPER JUDGEMENTAL

Easily one of the worst profs I've ever had. She points out mistakes from your paper that aren't even mistakes, they're just preferences of how the prof wants stuff to be written. Her exams are very unorganized and confusing as well. Just don't take this class with her...

Preetpal is really nice and tries her best to be a very good prof, but only issue is that shes kinda a tough grader. But she will give you really good feedback so you dont repeat those mistakes again. Her notes are very clear and Her expectations are super clear. If you take her class, make sure you put your full efforts into her class.

This class was just okay. The lectures were extremely boring and she would often give us 40 min long breaks to discuss a question that could easily be answered in 5 minutes. Assignments were not clear from the start, but she is an easy marker. If you show up, pay attention, and hand assignments in on time you can easily pass with a decent grade.

Put some effort in and you're fine. Criteria can be a bit unclear but send her an email and she will answer any questions you have. The midterm is based on notes and the handbook but pretty easy if you study. The class is boring and she knows that too but it would be boring with any prof. She appreciates students that care about doing well.

Makes you do homework, but hardly hands back any assignments or even bothers to collect ASSIGNED HW to grade the next class. Assigns homework & then explains it the day it's due how SHE WANTED it done. NEVER AVAILABLE TO HELP! Said if you are uncertain on how to write go to the academic centre for help not her! WASTES SO MUCH TIME IN CLASS! RUDE!!!

Stay away from this prof, it has been frustrating. She is not good at teaching online or giving feedback. She is a very tough marker. She gives feedback on unnecessary stuff, she changes sentences by wording them differently, she's told me to add transitions for parapgraphs when they were already added. Take another prof, not worth the frustration

The lectures were extremely boring, and would give us 40+ mins to answer a simple question. Prof is super condescending and kept telling us "this isn't a writing class go elsewhere if you need help"- yet all the assignments were writing assignments with unclear expectations. Would mark things wrong that she told us to do in the first place.
