Reviews of professor Namrata Alavandi

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I didn't realize what a good teacher she was until I had an awful teacher. Prof. Alavandi is hard to understand accent wise, but does want you to understand the material. BIO 210 is a hard class, it will not be handed to you. You will have to read and study but that is any 210 class. Awesome grader on lab tests. She knows what she's talking about.

She can be a little confusing in lecture, however her tests arent extremely hard. Teaches mostly from the book and goes through slides quickly. Has an accent so can be a little difficult to understand sometimes. Adds extra words to lab a lot. Pay attention to when she goes over what you need to focus on for test (which she sometimes does)

Taught directly from the textbook. A lot of homework assingments online. Quizzes are also assigned online. I really enjoyed her class as she was a great professor.

She has an accent that is very peaceful. We had long lectures and it is fast paced. She is nice and caring and I would take her again. Be prepared to read and study, study, study!!! I would recommend her.

Outstanding, brilliant teacher. Taught 210 so everyone understood topics, not just the health science majors. Lectures were easy to follow with multiple approaches offered on more difficult concepts. With the transition from in the classroom to fully online with Covid-19, Dr. A was exceptionally understanding and worked very hard to ensure success.

She's not the best professor I've ever had, but she really tries. She wants you to know the material and will go over it again and again if the class is struggling to grasp it. You'll have to study a lot for anatomy, but you'd have to with any teacher. Overall she's a great choice.
