Reviews of professor Pradeep Sangapala

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The questions in his quizzes are irrelevant and hard to complete in the time given considering you have to google them as they are not textbook or lecture questions. Most of them are just random facts basically which expects you to remember every little details such as 'What country will be the biggest by year 2050' and such. TAs mark inconsistent.

You seriously need to read EVERYTHING. Read your text book, memorize as many details as possible, read his lectures, take note of anything/everything because he will test literally everything. His questions are super specific, its as though he looks for obscure terms or concepts to ask. "What is the most populous city in India as of 2018?"

He has a heavy accent, if you can't understand accents, DON'T take his class. His tests are insane, 40MC in 30 min isn't usually bad, but if I have to remember the ratio of Greenland to Africa (something like 1:140000) its gunna take longer than a half hour to take that test. His "warm up" questions are also tested on exams, everything is fair game

I really enjoyed his presentations. They were very knowledgeable and provided a lot of valuable information. Active participation is key to good grades in his class, as exams are primarily based on class discussions.

If you have any choice, do not take his class. His speaking sucks as I couldn't understand most of his lectures. The work is as heavy as you can imagine, and there is a lot of unbelievable requirement upon the homework such as take a picture of the city's cultural landscape. The test is very hard and unrelated to what he taught at all!!!!!!!!

Honestly, save your money and don't do this class. He makes you do 3 hard online quizzes, but the questions aren't even related to the material covered. Also, the class is split online because of the heavy homework he assigns that is mandatory EVERY week. You basically need to know EVERY detail in the textbook. 0/10 would NOT recommend this class.
