Reviews of professor Binaya Adhikari

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I had a bad start to this semester with an F until midterm coz I was not doing my work. Professor Adhikari was very motivating, which made me start doing my work. I am now on track to pass this course with at least a B+.

Binaya clearly knows a ton about bio but isn't proficient in teaching it. Reads directly from powerpoint slides & gets frustrated when you try to take notes because it slows him down (but also gets irritated when you don't as he thinks you aren't paying attention) Must really study to pass as his tests/quizzes reflect the textbook & not the class

Dr. Adhikari is awesome! Got used to his accent within a week or so. This is such an interesting course never heard of before. I was very hesitant about public speaking but feel comfortable now. Only a midterm and a final. Rests are assignments/projects. Allowed me to make up assignments when I had family and health issues. Very understanding!

He's difficult to understand because he has a thick accent and wears a mask. Talks super fast during lectures and it's hard to keep up with writing notes/listening to him. Very slow when getting back to you via email, so it's better to just ask all of your questions in class instead. Keeps class over the original time and doesn't care about it.

Professor Adhikari is a nice guy. Provides clear rubrics and resources for assignments. Provides comments on your work. Will take him again if there is a suitable course.

He is a really good professor and is funny. He clearly enjoys the material he is teaching. He responds to emails on time and is accessible outside of class. He explains concepts very well before starting a lab. Encourages his students and gives good feedback. I recommend you take him.

Dr. Adhikari was absolutely an awesome professor. He always wanted us to learn and tried to make it enjoyable even though most of us really didn't want to be there :) Very encouraging, and always ready to help and support the students. Thanks!

Dr. Adhikari is a great teacher and fun to have in class. Would love to have study guides for exams but assignments are not hard. Lots of speaking and presentations. Took us to a plant museum I have never seen or heard of before. I did not know Longwood has one.

Dr. Adhikari is very passionate about biology as you can see from how he teaches and talks about topics in this field which made us motivated to learn more. He has a lot of fun activities like DNA extraction. A lot of demos in class.

He is great. He mostly talked fast during class but had all the information on powerpoints and put them on canvas. I struggled understanding him maybe the first week or so with the mask on but it was not a problem later on. Overall, he was very organized.
