Comment:

Adarkar is super chill. attendance doesn't count but honestly, I love going to his lectures. he talks about stuff that is really deep and somewhat changed my perspective on things. your grade is based off 1) weekly journals 2) 3 essays that's it. this class is designed for you to get an A. you literally have to try to fail this class.

Comment:

Professor Adarkar was probably one of my favorite professors here at MSU. He was always in a positive mood and ready to brighten everyones day. This man was never rude or unfair to anyone. Not even people who werent present regularly. He was actually passionate about teaching and engaging with the students as well as making sure they suceed.

Comment:

Adarkar is someone who doesn't focus much on letter grades. I skipped the class once every 2 weeks and was still very easily able to achieve an A. Adarkar is a very nice person and his lectures are actually very nice and inspiring in a way, but they can be boring at times. If you need an A for a gen ed class, take his class.

Comment:

Prof. Adarkar is a perfect example of what a professor or educator should be in this day and age. Classes were fun where everyone engaged in discussions rather than doing boring work or taking notes. ALWAYS in a good mood with positive energy and was one of the few prof. who gave off good vibes on a regular basis. Like Mr. Simmons from Hey Arnold

Comment:

It's the type of class where you always think deeper into what looks correct at face value. You learn about how ideas change with time. It's Basically a great class. He asks lots of questions in class and looks for what other people think about what something means. There is homework to read at night but he goes over it in class the next day.

Hilarious professor! He cares for his students and loves to give you every chance to pass. Attendance does not count, just get the missing work from a classmate. We had a few books, so get ready to read. His papers are easy to complete but you need to make sure you're doing what he expects. (So read the material)

Comment:

Easy A class for a general education credit. The lectures can be kind of confusing because he sometimes goes off topic, but the tests and final are open notes, open book. He also lets you do rewrites on papers if you want a better grade. He's really nice too. Can't get any easier than that.

Comment:

Final grade is based off of 12 journals, 3 papers (on 3 books), midterm, and a final. Never takes attendance. Lectures were long and boring for me because I had no interest in the class. As long as you do your work, you can pass the class. Little effort is required but he is a tough grader for the papers. Pretty easy A, just do your work.

I love Dr. Adarkar! He is so passionate about mythology and really wants you to be too. He is so understanding when it comes to due dates and knows we all have our own personal lives. Even when the class is dead he tries to make it fun and interesting. Midterm is open book/notes, EASY weekly journals, 2 writing assignments, and a final. THE best!!

One of the best professors I've ever had at MSU. Anyone who says different is a liar. If you are like me, and suck with deadlines, etc. he let's you hand in assignments whenever you can. He is one of the smartest and funniest men I have had the honor to get to know. He is simply dope. Show up to class and read, and you'll be fine.

Prof. Adarkar is a nice, funny, and passionate man. The only downside to his class is you don't really understand what he's saying. He needs to improve on his teaching skills. I can never understand what he says because he mumbles and talks quietly and the notes that he puts on the board are messy. On the bright side, easy A.

Comment:

This course is easy if you take good notes. He does not take attendance, but he will know who shows up for class and who doesn't. It's easy to tell because all the papers and assignments are right from class discussions. Downside: the class does get boring after a while.

He's quirky, but cool. I enjoyed this class. He is really passionate about the subject and gives his lectures as if he were telling us a story, with voice intonations and all. He's also kind of funny. Class is easy, with only a couple writing assignments, which you are allowed to rewrite.

He is such a good professor! He makes class interesting, is very easy to talk to and you can tell he loves the subject he teaches. He knows that not everyone is good at writing so he allows us to rewrite our essays. One paragraph min. writing journals every week. Take him if you can!!!!

Really good professor. Tries to make the class interesting. Flexible with handing in work and there isn't too much work overall. There are weekly journals but they only have to be a paragraph. Offers help whenever you need it.

Adarkar is the man. I love him, his teaching style, what he stands for as a professor. He is super intelligent, always has sources to back up his information, and he is very easy to talk to. He will notice the interest and effort you give in class and assignments and will grade you accordingly. He's overall a great professor.
