Reviews of professor Aditi Bhattacharya

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great professor and even better person, very caring and understanding. Three 4-6 page papers and one group presentation/paper. Fair grader. Heavy reading but everything she assigns is incredibly interesting and informative (I don't do any readings for my classes--oops--but did hers). Not the most organized but it was her first semester. Take her.

she's a good prof! very detailed lectures but you must do the readings or else she will know if you don't participate. lots a group work in this class so get comfy! she wants you to expand your vocabulary too. only thing i didn't like is she takes forever to give final grades, & she doesn't grade anything throughout the semester, only at the end

Discussions based class but she really gets us engaged to share. Keeps it real. Easy grader. Love how she challenges language use. Diverse experience and perspectives that I definitely did not get in any of my other theory classes. Flexible with camera, real flexible with student needs. Podcasts, films, some readings. Great syllabus. Take!

I was excited to take Professor B. after reading her ratings, but I was highly disappointed. She makes you scared to speak or answer questions and then gets an attitude about not participating.. and her overall feedback about literally anything is negative and condescending. I would not take her again or recommend her to anyone.

Interesting classes, pushed us to think in ways about 'justice' other classes didn't. Wish our readings were on blackboard, they came too close to next class sometimes. 100% discussion based, sometimes hard, mostly fun. Flexible with due dates as long as you email way head of time. Great guest lectures. Fair grading, with a lot of feedback.

Professor B is one of the best professors Ive had at John Jay. Took Psych of the Victim with her last semester and even though the material is heavy, she made the class one of those you look forward to. Super chill and really funny also

Professor B was a refreshing addition to my professors and classes at John Jay. With a social work background, Prof B brought nuanced perspectives into the classroom and paid special attention to issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality. A bit disorganized with assignments and readings, but I'm sure that will even out as she teaches more.

Aditi is one of the most wonderful professors I have had. I was going through some personal things and really struggling in school. I reached out to her and she was incredibly considerate and accommodating. I was actually very overwhelmed by her kind response. Lectures are engaging and she challenges you in ways you can take outside of the class!
