Reviews of professor Nidhi Patel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
she's really nice and she doesn't bombard students with work. her lectures are informative but they are just her mainly reading off a slide. doesn't say that attendance matters, but if you aren't there your grade will slightly decrease. quizzes are easy too, and doesn't give a lot of them. no final either just research paper

Super passionate and easy to pay attention

Homework is due once a week and it is very light. Typically, it is only one small assignment and sometimes easy quizzes online that you can use your notes for. As long as you somewhat pay attention to lectures you will easily make it through the class. She is understanding and passionate about this subject which reflects on her teaching style.

I really enjoyed taking Professor Patel's Oceanography 100 class. Homework was very light with 1 reading/assignment for the week being due every Sunday. And usually at the end of the module there is a small quiz. The class is pretty lecture heavy though but she makes everything clear and understanding.

Professor gives no sources to do work, says to use google or use an old textbook similar to oceanography. Okay??? She just gives us slides and makes them do them. Seems like she cares more about the money rather than actually teaching a class.

Patel was GREAT! Class is based on lectures, attendance is required in order to keep up w/ quizzes & in-person assignments for participation points. Course is easy. Professor Patel, is very understanding & caring about your outside life as well, as long as you communicate w/ her on what's going on she will work alongside you!

She is super slow on Canvas. Sometimes the module won't even be available until the middle of the week, but the homework deadline won't be extended. Her quizzes/tests are medium-level hard, as some of them are not even from the slides. You have to google the answer to know.

If you need to take or want to take oceanography I definitely recommend taking it with Professor Patel. She is so nice, understanding, and easy going. The work load in this class is very light, usually one homework assignment a week due on Sundays and then the VERY occasional quiz that you can use your notes for. She is also extremely informative.

 Lectures were interesting, work was relatively easy, and she really just wants you to apply the material you learn in class outside of the classroom.
